Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS, versions 1.0 and 1.1

SYMPTOMS

When using Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) versions 1.0 and 1.1, you can save macros in the TOOLS.INI file. However, when the following macro is saved in TOOLS.INI, PWB will not correctly evaluate the macro commands.

   mytab:= begline select endline delete tab paste
   mytab: Alt+K

CAUSE

When using the select function in macros, PWB sometimes gives unexpected results.

RESOLUTION

When recording the above macro through the Record On option under the PWB Edit menu, the macro will work as expected.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PWB versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem was corrected in PWB version 2.0.
