I don't know why that would be.  Perhaps another binary was found earlier
in your path.  As a simple check change the version in edit.h that way
when you popup the about box you know whether you're running the modified
version.

What should f9 and crew do?  (I don't have Turbo C easily accessible.)
Alt-f4 is probably the window manager not xwpe.  Unfortunately if the
window manager binds the key there is nothing you can do about it.

What do you mean by programming mode?  When you simply run xwpe or do
you mean when you're debugging a program or something?  Alt-x should
exit if you are editing a file in xwpe or xwe.  Windows such as the
option windows have there own key handlers that don't neccessarily
act properly with alt-x.  Never looked into it myself.

It appears there is a new bug in the latest xwpe.  If the binary is
already built debugging doesn't work.
