>
>Fixed the Zip List command, Control+Shift+Z.  In the Web Download command,
>Alt+Shift+W, a different, more reliable technique is implemented for
>getting the web address of a page open in Internet Explorer.
>
>  With the optional JAWS scripts, made Control+Equals a synonym of
>Control+E for the Evaluate command (to be consistent with the Homer
>interface).  Added the Manual Options command, Alt+Shift+M, for adjusting
>FileDir settings directly in a text editor.
>
>Doubled the number of special folders available via the Open Special
>Folder command, Control+Shift+O.  You can now have greater control over
>your computer by conveniently examining and managing the following 35
>folders as needed:

>Administrative Tools

>
>Fixed some of the optional JAWS scripts, as well as command descriptions
>in the Alternate Menu (Alt+F10), to reflect recent changes in key
>assignments.  Fixed TextPal copying selected text to the clipboard in a
>small font rather than as unformatted plain text.
>
>  In the Grab URLs command, Alt+Shift+G, a different, more reliable
>technique is implemented for getting the web address of a page open in
>Internet Explorer.  Reassigned the Insert Time command to
>Alt+Shift+Semicolon.  Alt+Semicolon still says the time and date.
>
>Modified the Order Lines and Keep Unique Lines commands, Alt+Shift+O and
>Alt+Shift+K, to ignore case.  Enhanced the Yield command, Alt+Y, to
>operate on either all or selected text.
>
>Added two commands that are part of the developing "Homer editor
>interface."  Press Alt+Backslash to open the folder of the current file in
>Windows Explorer, or Control+Backslash to open a command prompt there.
>Also for Homer consistency, the evaluate command, Control+E, has a
>synonym, Control+Equals.  In addition, this command is enhanced to operate
>on either the current line or selected text.
>
>Thus, one could write several lines of code in the Ruby language, select
>the text, and then evaluate the result.  For example,  the following
>algebra calculates the cumulative total of an initial $100 deposit
>compounded for 12 months at 5% interest:
>
>interest = 1.05
>deposit = 100
>months = 12
>total = (interest ** months) * deposit
>179.585632602213
>
>The result, about $180, was placed on the line below the previously
>selected text, and the cursor was placed at the start of that line.
>
>A list of accessible software I have developed for Windows, with download
>links, is available at
>http://GrabBag.AlacornComputer.com
>
>For upgrading to the latest FileDir and TextPal, remember that you may
>elevate on May 11 with F11!
