Re: Text Expander and TameDOS

That did the trick, Marko! Thank you!

So, 4DOS requires this: ahk_class TameConsoleClass

And vDosPlus requires this: ahk_class vDos

If one uses both, as I do, then the setting for "Key delays only active in" should be:

ahk_class TameConsoleClass, ahk_class vDos

Thank you so much!

Rob

Re: Text Expander and TameDOS

Window information shows: Title: C:\Sync\G\4DOS\4DOS.COM Class: ahk_class TameConsoleClass Process: ahk_exe ntvdm.exe Cutting and pasting that exact title -- C:\Sync\G\4DOS\4DOS.COM -- from the Window information screen to Tools | Preferences | Text Expander | Advanced | Key delays only active in re...

Re: Text Expander and TameDOS

Ah hah! Something is amiss there, my friend. No matter what window(s) I have open -- 4DOS, vDosPlus, or a regular 32-bit Windows application -- I get this error screen when I invoke "Window information": Error: The same variable cannot be used for more than one control Specifically: vt1 Th...

Re: Text Expander and TameDOS

My problem with delays seems to be related to setting a value in Tools | Preferences | Text Expander | Advanced | Key delays only active in. My 4DOS windows contain the title (in the Windows title bar) of "C:\Sync\G\4DOS\4DOS.COM" and so I'd added "4DOS" (without the quotes) to t...

Re: Text Expander and TameDOS

Thank you so much! I can confirm that Key Delay of 40 ms is working fine for me with vDosPlus and WordStar in limited testing; I'll put it through its paces, on multiple machines, over the next few days. At the moment, 40 ms is also working on TameDOS, but TameDOS actively adjusts its own settings o...

Re: Text Expander and TameDOS

Hi, Marko -- you're the best for even trying to tackle this obscure problem! Thank you! Yes, TameDOS only works under 32-bit windows; it's a great package, but I've discovered today that it is definitely the culprit here -- if I run WordStar under Windows without TameDOS, Text Expander seems to work...

Text Expander and TameDOS

I use Windows 7 32-bit and TameDos to allow the use of legacy MS-DOS applications, including my favorite wordprocessor, WordStar for DOS 7.0 . Text Epander works most of the time with these DOS applications, but gets wonky now and again, particularly when expanding longer phrases. For instance, I ha...

Since updating to 3.16, getting "Some commands were stopped"

Since updating from 3.13 to 3.16 on Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, I get the "ERROR. Some commands were stopped" message. The only module I have active is TextExpander, and I've made no change to my phrase file since the upgrade. The message goes on to say, "Please check last edited commands a...
