Could getting more hands on deck help? Maybe specific tasks anyone thinks can be offloaded may be announced, and volunteers can then interact with the person to accomplish them. I had earlier volunteered but was not offered any task (perhaps none was suited to my skill-set which is: a lot of Rexx

re the 7-bit ASCII issue, the situation seems to hve vastly improved, as some time back Notepad has started using UTF-8 files by default. I now find I can process such files in a natural way using ooRexx. Earlier it used to be a great pain. Harmander Singh On Tue, 12 Jan 2021 at 13:06, J Leslie

[Oorexx-devel] Can we delete last char output to terminal?

2016-02-07 Thread Harmander Singh
