Please note that this moves the cursor to the end of the text, not the
end of the line as reported by the OP. (Of course it could be that he
happened to be on the last line in which case the result would be the
same :-)

Please don't advise users to go into UserPrefs or Defaults directly to
change the BaseMode ModeFile. The proper way is to click Ctrl-Adjust
over the iconbar icon, that way they'll always load the active BaseMode
ModeFile.

There is also no need to copy the file from Default to UserPrefs prior
to editing it. When StrongED detects that it's one of its Default files
that's being saved it will offer you to save it to UserPrefs. StrongED
will automatically create a directory if required.

You should always choose 'Save to UserPrefs' unless you have very
compelling reason to alter the Default copy (eg you're me and are
preparing a new release of StrongED ;-).

Cheers,

Fred.
