Problem running - 'faceName' is an invalid keyword argument

I ran into a problem trying to run THE on Windows.

Also, I'm not sure how to run on Mac since I can't
execute a .bat file.

What if I need to leave the keyboard?

William Tanksley — Wed, 11 Sep 2002 16:35:13 -0000

What happens if I'm typing a command, possibly a LEAP,
and I need to take my hands off the keyboard? How do I
continue the command?

Some ideas occur:

1. Provide a command which joins the current pre-selection
with the previous selection (forming a single, continuous
selection). Thus, if my LEAP gets interrupted I can simply
select the current result, finish the LEAP, and extend the
selection.

2. Provide a keystroke to end command mode without
executing the command, but saving it for next time. The
same keystroke on a blank command line will pull up the last
saved command.

I can't find this in the manual; hopefully I'm simply missing
something.

Out of curiosity, have you guys studied vi and vim? There
are some obvious similarities.
