VLisp text editor.

Ok, I'm VERY new to learning lisp and already want to throw the computer off the desk. Here is my problem. In the Vlisp editor, the text is inserted a few places before where my cursor is. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Adesu,

Thanks for taking the time to say in so many words "go help yourself".

If anyone else has a simple explanation and could point me to the solution I would appreciate it.

 

Is it possible you are confusing the mouse cursor for
the text cursor?

HI jrzweber,I am not yet understanding what do you mean " In the Vlisp
editor, the text is inserted a few places before where my cursor is." can
you describe more sample?,if you ask not clear the others forum member can't
answer it.

I would appreciate it.

 

You're less likely to be offered help when you snarl at the first person who
makes an effort.

Like Adesu, I can't understand what you're describing. Are you saying that
when you type a letter, it appears at some point other than at flashing
vertical bar? Or that the flashing bar doesn't go where you try to place it
with the mouse cursor? A screen shot might help describe what you're seeing.

Personally I hardly ever use VLIDE for anything but compiling programs, but
I've never seen anything fitting your description.

 

The text is inserted a few characters (not at the end of the line to help formatting, but in the middle of a line) before the text cursor. I copied the lisp it to a new file to edit and it doesn't do that. I don't know what
I did to the file to make it do that. As I have gathered from the responses, I don't think the editor is suppose to do that. Thanks to all those that responded, and sorry Adesu's for jumping on your back when you were trying to help.

 

May be and I guess you should
1.You sort (click left button mouse) a character string.
2. then click right button mouse.
3. select copy and click again,and now you would copy it to others field.
4. sort any area in editor
5.click by right button mouse
6. select paste and click

or you should as like this,you have a string

" jrzweber wrote in message " >>> this is original string

and may be you should this bellow

insert a text

but before you insert it,the mouse can't reaction to do that
