}You will learn how the modules Texts, TextFrames and other important modules
} interact and what a "handler" is and so on.
AFAIK that's amply covered in Chapter*.Text, which I started reading over
15 years ago. And the fact that I was able to 'recognise' how the
different sized bricks are laid down, according to their 'lib-spec'
indicates that the knowledge that percolated up from my subconscious,
was previously already read.
Although I must admit that I only vaguely remember how a handler works.
Meanwhile let's take Paul Reed's input as an example of collaborative
contribution:
confirmed my stated assumptions,
corrected my wrong assumptions,
pointed to the module containing the relevant info;
which has finally allowed me to:
Repeat
get(ch);
writeCharAtCursor;
Until ch = "q"
It's just that the resolution for fast navigating individual
chars is impractical. Words are more practical.
I was much influence by EditKeys, but forgot that the cursor 'snaps'
to the last-char-of-the-line, and positioning it quickly inside the
line is not so easy.
