With QuickC Versions 2.00 and 2.01 and MS-DOS Version 3.30, Toshiba
1200 HB cannot select text using SHIFT+<arrow> keys for editing.

The Toshiba T1000 with MS-DOS Version 2.11 behaves in the same way.

To workaround this problem, hold down the SHIFT and CTRL keys, then press a
letter key (SHIFT+CTRL+<letter>) as follows:

   Key   Function
   ---   --------

   S     Cursor left
   D     Cursor right
   X     Cursor down
   E     Cursor up

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with QuickC Versions 2.00
and 2.01. We are researching this problem and will post new
information as it becomes available.
