Hi Thiago:

> I am using SETEDIT 0.4.4.1 for Linux, binary distribuition.

No dot, is really .41, the 41th version of the 0.4 serie! (the build must be something like 500,
I use CVS only since 1998 ;-).

Is not a bug, is on purppose.

Yes. In 0.4.47 you can control much better what the editor remembers and what not. One of the
options is never for closed files, they live only for the session you are running and then are
erased. The minimun stills 3.
Why you don't want to have any of them? they are at the end of the list.

Sorry but I don't understand it, please clarify. The user `root' have their own settings.

It still under alpha stage. In fact the one used in 0.4.41 version used to SIGSEGV when jumping to
another man page (double clicking in the name of a manpage, like xxxx(n) ). It was fixed in 0.4.47,
but the viewer is really "green".
You could add them as wishes in the Source Forge page. It will help me to remmember

Are you sure? I'll investigate it.

Sorry, I have only 0.4.47 here and it only have "Tab smart indents", is that it?
In 0.4.47 it have a global option.

Nope. Are you sure it should? I don't see why.

Ah?!

Ok, I'll think about it. I think you are right, *but* it inserts a tab if "use real tabs" is
enabled.

Did the standalone editor have it? I think that's an RHIDE setting.
You could put it as a wish.

I'll sugest you using lat1-16. They have the codes in the right place.
The following URL:
http://www.balug.org.ar/ConfTips/index.html
Contains some tips about how to install the right fonts.
Is in spanish but I think you'll understand it. It also explains how to avoid getting "broken
frames" typical of lat1-16 fonts.

Is much more easy:Tool&Ops|Options|Screen Options
Look for the options with "(Linux)" because the Linux fonts adds some funny characters in the
"undefined" range (to support VT100 charsets, in favor of PC one, which I think is quite
questionable).
