About the escaping from the menus thing, I found something. Escape works as expected from the list of submenus but as soon as you enter a specific menu, any one of them it seems, you can no longer escape without playing with the arrow keys until you are at the list of submenus again. Oh, and I found that line numbering can be repeated; that is, you can press the hotkey as many times as you want and end up with that many numbers before each line. I was surprised to find this, figuring that the option would be a check or uncheck option.
As far as compiling goes, I have the command line compiler from Sun. The syntax to compile a file, from the cmd line, is:
javac path\file.extI tried putting javac in for the compile in the options but I still got the done message, even though there are too many errors for the file to compile.
The brace counter keeps jumping around, 0 left 2 right, 5 left 3 right, and so on. Attached is my entire java file, only around 100 lines. Don't expect it to compile as I still have to get it there but the idea is there. Thanks for all your help.
Have a great day, Alex

I'd like to resolve these problems. The most helpful way to me
is if you
can specify reproduceable examples as much as possible. For
example, what
sequence of keystrokes seems to always produce the problem of
Escape not
exiting the menu system? I just tried with EdSharp and Windows
Xp, and
did not experience the problem. I do recall it happening
occasionally
though, and think it may be a JAWS issue that can be solved by
Alt Tabbing
to another application and then Alt Tabbing back.
Can you post (or directly send me) a small code sample that
illustrates
the problem of brace counting?
EdSharp makes the assumption that if the compiler produces no
error
messages, the compilation was successful, so it says "Done" asconfirmation. This generally works as long as the .NET Framework
finds
the compiler on the Windows search path. Make sure you can
compile the
code on a command line. Then tweak the CompileCommand setting in
the
Configuration Options dialog (Alt+Shift+C) so that it matches thecommand line syntax that worked. It may be that the default
setting
references a library you are not using or that your code needs
command
line references that are not in the default setting. If you
develop a
default setting that works better for Java programming, please
let me
know and I will adjust the EdSharp settings accordingly. I do
not know
Java well, so the default setting is currently based on a small
program I
did. In case that is of interest, it is available at http://www.EmpowermentZone.com/j_fruit.zip
Please also make sure you are using the latest EdSharp version
and that
you re-initialized the default settings with Alt+Shift+0.
Let me know how it goes.

Hi all,i am trying EdSharp for the first time, on xp, and am having
some
problems. First, I cannot use escape to get out of the menus; I have to select something just to get back to my file. Second, I tried the brace counter thing (I had a .java file opened) and I was told that there were no left and 2 right, which is not correct at all; there are an even number of both and many more than 2. Finally, I tried the compile and was told it was done, but I have only a command line java compiler and this code will not compile yet. Why was I told that the compile was done, indicating success? Thanks for any help.
