THOR Full Screen Editor

The FSE in THOR is based on Pascal source from Mike 'MBBS' Robertson and converted to Amiga assembler by Marius Mortensen. It has also been improved in several aspects from the original editor in MBBS and the FSE in Offline. The editor has been maintained and upgraded for THOR 2.1-> by Petter Nilsen, due to Marius' workload at the place he works (Scala drives their programmers hard :).

The FSE is pretty self-explanatory (especially if you're used to using A/B/MBBS or the good ol' WordStar (ancient tool for writing garble)).

The FSE has extensive support for shortcuts See section Shortcuts in the FSE., a full menu with various options See section FSE Menus.,

The FSE also has support for simple dos-scripts See section FSE DOS scripts., aswell as full-fledged ARexx support. See section FSE ARexx.

The Full Screen Editor will multitask internally in THOR, since the editor is started as a separate cli process. THOR will communicate with the editor(s), so that Iconify and configuration related functions will have effect on the editor(s) too. An unlimited number of editors can be open at the same time (only limited by your free memory), and you can edit a message on one system while reading messages on another.

Each time you exit the FSE, THOR will save the position, size, insert/indent status and the XY display status.
