Just thought I'd pass this on to the list.

When the $INCLUDE option is specified for the List command, QEDIT will list (or search for a specific string) in both the current file and any !include files. A useful, well-known(?) feature.

However it will ignore !include files (at least in a Transact/iX program) if the "!" character is not in column 1 (i.e. it's indented). Tricky, especially since indenting the !include statement is not a problem for the Transact compiler.

QEDITs help does attempt to describe this behavior by listing the valid syntax. Note the 4th syntax. You can indent "include" but not the "!" :

<< The $include command must be spelled out in full,  and  it  can  be indented from the prefix character ($, #, etc.).  The following examples are valid Include source lines:
 
       $include 'globals.source'
       #include <strings.h>
       #include "parser/bnf.c"
       !   include somefile
       .include    chapter1.book >>

On a side note and totally off-topic :

What exactly happened at the Windows98 presentation ? All I saw was a short TV clip with Bill Gates and someone else displaying nervous smiles after the "blue screen of death" ... 

Any details anyone ? There's not much on the Microsoft site. Still I suppose this is one time when there'll be more Microsoft news at the Oracle and Macintosh sites ... ;)
