General Page

At the moment, you can select between languages English and German. If you are interested in translating ME into your language, you are encouraged to contact me.

ME has got three different key mappings.

CUA (Common user architecture) is the Windows key standard.
Wordstar is a powerful standard with a lot of commands where Ctrl and two character keys are combinated.
Mixed means CUA for the single-Ctrl commands, but the Ctrl-doublekey commands are available nevertheless.

Please read the chapter Ctrl commands which explains the Wordstar keymapping.

If the checkbox Show Return types in rightmost column is checked, Softreturns, Hardreturns and Breakreturns are marked. It is a useful setting if you compile running text.

Auto recognition when opening files with Windows/IBM Codepage:
Special characters of foreign languages are located on different places in the Codepage table. If you try to open a e.g. german text then the additonal character (german "umlauts") like ä or ü are not shown correctly, instead another cryptic character is shown. If the checkbox is enabled, ME tries to select the correct codepage when loading such a text file. (But at the moment, this only works with german. Please send the "umlauts" of your language.)
