## CompileRx

Defines regular expressions and thers subpattern indices to match when searching for errors and warnings in compilation output. First number is an index of the subpattern that matches filename. The second must match the line number, the third parameter is the regular expression to match to each line of the compiler output.

## OpenAfterClose

## CursorInsertEnd

Ending percentage of cursor size when in insert mode.

## CursorOverStart

Starting percentage of cursor size when in overstrike mode

## CursorOverEnd

Ending percentage of cursor size when in overstrike mode.

## SelectPathname

## ShowVScroll

If set to 1, scroll bar will be visible.

## ShowHScroll

If set to 1, scroll bar will be visible.

If set to 2, desktop is only loaded (and saved) if there are no files specified on the command line.

## SaveDesktopOnExit

If set to 1, desktop will be automatically saved when ExitEditor command is issued.

## KeepMessages

If set to 1, compiler messages will be kept until deleted by user.

## ScrollBorderX

Horizontal offset to the border before window starts scrolling.

## ScrollBorderY

## ScrollJumpY

    public:                   // C_ClassOfs = 0
        line();               // C_ClassDelta = 4
        ~line();
    };

    int main() {
        int x = 1;

        /*                    // C_CommentOfs = 0
         * check value        // C_CommentDelta = 1
         */

        puts("main");         // C_Indent = 4
        if (x)
        {                     // C_BraceOfs = 0
            switch (x) {
            case 1:           // C_CaseOfs = 0
                puts("ok");   // C_CaseDelta = 4
                break;
            }
        }
    end:
        return 0;
    }

Example 2:

    class line {
      public:                     // C_ClassOfs = 2
        line();                   // C_ClassDelta = 2
        ~line();
    };

    int main() {
        int x = 1;

          /*                      // C_CommentOfs = 2
          ** check value          // C_CommentDelta = 0
          */

        puts("main");             // C_Indent = 4
        if (x)
        {                         // C_BraceOfs = 0
            switch (x) {
                case 1:           // C_CaseOfs = 4
                    puts("ok");   // C_CaseDelta = 4
                    break;
            }
