LINE DELETE MACRO FOR MEMO

MEMO is one of my favorite functions of 95LX. Since I am using it frequently, I need the standard function of a word processor. Line delete is one of the most usable functions of a word processor. However, in MEMO there is no line delete function. I wrote a small macro by using the MARK and CUT functions of MEMO. It works well.

Whenever you need to delete a line just place the cursor on the line and press the defined [CHAR] F-key. You can place the cursor wherever you like on the line and you can assign this function to one of the ten macro keys.

Here is the procedure;

1. Enter into SETUP and then CHAR.

2. Choose one of the functions keys (my preference is F9).

3. Fill the COMMENT line with a descriptive information such as MEMO LINE DELETE.

4. Write the below macro to the CONTENTS: {HOME}{F9} {END}{F3}

5. Exit with INDEX and quit the SETUP menu.

6. Enter into MEMO to use your new function.

7. Write or retrieve a text and choose a line to delete. Carry the cursor to that line. Simply press the defined macro key combination such as (CHAR)-(F9) for line delete in MEMO. The line is deleted!

Since the CUT function of MEMO is used, you can paste the deleted line to somewhere else afterwards. If the cursor is at the first column, a beep sound will be sounded indicating the border of the screen.
