Enter the word on the left for help on above topics: 
\CU\ \CD\ \CR\ \CL\

[CURSOR UP]		Moves the cursor up one line, to the same horizontal
			position if possible.

		NOTE:	The "Cursor positioning mode" determines whether the
			cursor can be positioned past shorter lines.

[CURSOR DOWN]		Moves the cursor down one line, to the same
			horizontal position if possible.

[CURSOR RIGHT]		Moves the cursor to the next character. At the end of
			the line, it moves to the beginning of the next line.
			With "Cursor positioning mode" set to "4", the cursor
			is permitted to move past the end of a line.

[CURSOR LEFT]		Moves the cursor to the previous character. At the
			beginning of a line, it moves to the end of the
			previous line.

\LB\ \LE\ \NL\

[LINE BEGIN]		Moves the cursor to the first character of the
			current line or, if already there, to the first
			character of the previous line of text.

[LINE END]		Moves the cursor to the end of the current line or,
			if already there, to the end of the next line of
			text.

		NOTE:	The behavior of [LINE BEGIN/END] can be changed with
			{CONFIG, Emulation, Line emulation mode}.

[NEXT LINE]		Moves the cursor to the beginning of the next line of
			text.

\PW\ \NW\ \PP\ \NP\

[PREVIOUS WORD]		Moves the cursor to the first character of the
			current word or, if already there, to the beginning
			of the previous word.

[NEXT WORD]		Moves the cursor to the first character of next word.


[PREV PARAGRAPH]	Moves the cursor to the beginning of the current
			paragraph or, if already there, to the beginning of
			the previous paragraph.

[NEXT PARAGRAPH]	Moves the cursor to the beginning of next paragraph.

\SU\ \SD\ \SR\ \SL\

[SCROLL UP]		Similar to [CURSOR UP], except that the cursor
			remains on the same screen line and the screen moves
			down instead.

[SCROLL DOWN]		Similar to [CURSOR DOWN], except that the cursor
			remains on the same screen line and the screen moves
			up instead.

[SCROLL RIGHT]		Moves the screen window right to view long lines
			going off the right side of the screen.

[SCROLL LEFT]		Moves the screen window left to view the beginning
			part of long lines.

\TC\ \NT\

[TAB CHARACTER]		In Overstrike mode, it moves the cursor to the next
			tab stop, same as [NEXT TAB STOP]. In Insert mode or
			at the end of a line it inserts a Tab character
			<Ctrl-I> (or optionally spaces to the next tab stop).

		NOTE:	Change the "Typewriter mode" to always insert a Tab
			character (or spaces).

[NEXT TAB STOP]		Moves the cursor to the character at the next tab
			stop.

\PU\ \PD\ \SB\ \SE\

[PAGE UP]		Backs up to the previous "page" of text - similar to
			typing [CURSOR UP] for 3/4 screen lines.

[PAGE DOWN]		Advances to the next "page" of text - similar to
			typing [CURSOR DOWN] for 3/4 screen lines.

[SCREEN BEGIN]		Moves the cursor to the top (allowed) line in the
			window, typically line 3.

[SCREEN END]		Moves the cursor to the bottom (allowed) line in the
			window, typically the 3rd from the last.

\IT\ \EC\

[INSERT TOGGLE]		Toggles between the "Insert" and "Overstrike" modes.
			Use {EDIT, Insert mode} and {EDIT, Overstrike mode}
			to force a particular mode.


[ENTER CTRL]		Enters the next character, whether a displayable
			character, a control character or a graphics
			character, into the text.

\BS\ \DC\ \EE\ \EL\

[BACKSPACE]	Deletes the character to the left of the cursor. At the
		beginning of a line it deletes the preceding "newline",
		effectively merging two lines together.

	NOTE:	The behavior can be changed with {CONFIG, Emulation,
		[BACKSPACE] emulation mode}.

[DELETE]	Deletes the character at the cursor position. The cursor
		doesn't move. Also deletes the "newline" character, which for
		DOS, is normally a <CR><LF> pair.

		If the cursor is in, or just past, a highlighted block, the
		entire block is deleted.

	NOTE:	The behavior can be changed with {CONFIG, Emulation,
		Special emulation modes}.

[ERASE EOL]	Deletes (erases) all characters from the cursor position to
		the end of the text line.

[ERASE LINE]	Deletes (erases) the entire text line.

\DP\ \DN\

[DEL PREVIOUS WORD]	When the cursor is at the beginning of a word or
			between words, it deletes characters to the left up
			to the next word. Pressed again, it deletes the
			previous word.

[DEL NEXT WORD]		When the cursor is in a word, it deletes to the end
			of the word. Pressed again, it deletes the characters
			between words.

\CA\ \ES\

[CANCEL]	Cancels the current operation, e.g. any pull-down menu or any
		prompt. It cancels any operation taking place because of a
		[REPEAT]. At the edit level (no prompts) it removes the
		first block marker (if set).

[ESCAPE]	Escapes from the current prompt or menu level. At the edit
		level it pops up the {ESCAPE} menu from which you can cancel
		operations or exit/quit the editor.

\RE\ \RL\

[REPEAT]	The next typed character or edit function is repeated. This
		is either a multiple of four or the number typed in. Press
		[CANCEL] to abort.

[REPEAT LAST]	Repeats the last edit operation a single time.

\ID\ \UD\

[INDENT]	Increases the left margin by the amount of the "Indent
		increment". Each new line is then automatically padded with
		tabs and spaces to the left margin. The padding will also
		take place on the current line if the cursor is before any
		text on the line.

[UNDENT]	Reduces the left margin by the "Indent increment", until it
		is zero. One [UNDENT] therefore cancels one [INDENT].

	NOTE:	If the cursor is within a highlighted block, these functions
		will indent/undent the entire block.

\VE\ \VS\

[VISUAL EXIT]		Visual Mode is exited to access the limited command
			macro language in VEDIT Jr. (It is a small subset
			of the VEDIT PLUS macro language.)

[VISUAL ESCAPE]		This is identical to the [VISUAL EXIT], except that
			any current command execution is aborted.

\BC\ \BM\

[BLOCK COPY]	Copies a block of text within the current file. A highlighted
		block will be copied to the current cursor position. It is
		identical to {BLOCK, Copy to cursor}.

[BLOCK MOVE]	Moves a block of text within the current file. A highlighted
		block will be moved to the current cursor position. It is
		identical to {BLOCK, Move to cursor}.

	NOTE:	{CONFIG, Emulation, Auto-cancel block markers} controls
		whether the block will remain highlighted in its new
		location.

The exact operation of these editing functions depends upon how many block
markers have been set:

FUNCTION      Default    NO MARKERS SET  1 MARKER SET    2 MARKERS SET
───────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[BLOCK COPY]  <Ctrl-F9>│ Set 1st Marker  Set 2nd Marker  Copy block to cursor
[BLOCK MOVE]  <Alt-F9> │ Set 1st Marker  Set 2nd Marker  Move block to cursor

Therefore, [BLOCK COPY] can be used to set the block markers regardless of
how the block will be used.

\RC\ \RM\ \RI\

[T-REG COPY]	Copies the highlighted block of text to the "scratchpad" text
		register. If no block markers are yet set, it sets the first
		block marker.

[T-REG MOVE]	Copies the highlighted block of text to the "scratchpad" text
		register and deletes the block from the original text. If no
		block markers are yet set, it sets the first block marker.

[T-REG INSERT]	Inserts the contents of the "scratchpad" text register at the
		current cursor position. If the block was copied/moved to the
		text register as a columnar block, it will be inserted as a
		columnar block. The register contents are not altered.

	NOTE:	{CONFIG, Emulation, Advance cursor...} controls whether the
		cursor will be at the beginning or end of the inserted block.

\SH\ \SA\
[SEARCH]	Performs a search. Prompts for the search string - enter up
		to 80 characters; or [CURSOR UP] to reuse previous search
		strings. Press [SEARCH] again to select from the "search
		options".

		Press <Ctrl-N> to search for "newline" (according to the
		current file-type.) To search for other control chars
		precede them with [ENTER CTRL] (<Ctrl-P>). Use "||" to search
		for a single "|".

		If the cursor is within a highlighted block, the search is
		restricted to the block. The search starts at the cursor
		position; move to the beginning of the block to search the
		entire block.

[SEARCH AGAIN]	Repeats the previous [SEARCH] or [REPLACE]. Allows searching
		for or replacing the next occurrence.

OPTIONS: [A]gain  [B]egin  [R]everse  [W]ord

	Select one or more options by typing the corresponding letters
	"A", "B", "R" or "W"followed by <Enter>.

A	Reuses the previous search/replace strings. In conjunction with
	[B]egin it can be used to search again starting from the beginning of
	the file.

B	Starts search from the beginning of the buffer/file.

R	Search/replace in the reverse direction, i.e. toward the beginning of
	the file.

W	Restricts the search to entire "words".

SEARCH PATTERN MATCHING CODES

|A	Match any alphabetic letter, upper or lower case
|B	Match a blank - single space or tab
|C	Match any control character
|D	Match any numeric digit - "0" - "9"
|F	Match any alphanumeric - a letter or a digit
|G	Match any graphics (high-bit) character
|Hhh	Match character with hexadecimal value 'hh'
|L	Match end of line:  <CR> and/or <LF>
|N	Match any character except following character or pattern
|P	Match any parenthesis - (), {}, [], <>
|S	Match any separator - not a letter or digit
|T	Match selected separators (terminators) -
	Space, Tab, <CR>, <LF>, ; : , " '
|U	Match any upper case letter
|V	Match any lower case letter
|W	Match white space - single or multiple spaces or tabs
|X	Match any character
|<	Match beginning of line (zero length match)
|>	Match end of line (zero length match)
|ddd	Match character with decimal value 'ddd'
|000	Match the null (decimal 000) character
|{set}	Matches one occurrence of any item in the "pattern set".
|[set]	Matches one optional occurrence of any item in "pattern set".
||	Use "||" when you need to search for "|"

\RP\
[REPLACE]	Performs a selective or global search and replace. Prompts
		for the search and replacement strings. After locating the
		text, prompts with the replacement options.

		If the cursor is within a highlighted block, the search/
		replace is restricted to the block; the search starts at the
		cursor position.



REPLACE? [Y]es [N]o [R]est [O]ne [C]ancel

	Select one option by pressing "Y", "N", "R", "O" or "C".

Y	Make the replacement; search for next occurrence.
N	Do not make the replacement; search for next occurrence.
R	Make replacement and replace all other occurrences without prompting.
O	Make "one" single replacement; function is done.
C	Do not make the replacement; function is done.

\HE\

[HELP]		You are successfully using the [HELP] function. In addition
		to help with the edit functions, the last help menu screen
		includes a menu of common Visual Mode topics. Help is
		available in the Command Mode with the "H" and "EH" commands.

\ME\

[MENU]		Starts the pull-down menu interface from which you can select
		the desired editing function. Use the cursor keys to access
		the desired item. Then press <Enter> to select it. Pressing
		[ESCAPE] backs you out of the menu system one level at a
		time. Pressing [CANCEL] cancels any prompts and removes the
		menu system.

		For specific help, access the desired pull-down menu and
		press [HELP].

\BL\
{BLOCK} Menu --

Set marker		Marks the beginning and end of a block of text. The
			block will be highlighted as you move the cursor.
			Note that either the beginning or the end of the
			block may be set first. The 2nd marker is only needed
			for "Copy to cursor" and "Move to cursor". When only
			the first block marker is set, the cursor position is
			used as the second marker.

Set column marker	Marks a columnar block of text.

Copy to cursor		Copies the previously marked block of text to the
			current cursor position.

Move to cursor		Moves the previously marked block of text to the
			current cursor position and deletes the block from
			its original position.

Copy to register	Copies the currently highlighted block of text to the
			"scratchpad" register.

Move to register	Similar to "Copy", except that the block of text is
			deleted after it is moved to the "scratchpad".

Insert register		Inserts the "scratchpad" register at the current
			cursor position.  The register itself is not changed.

Delete			Deletes the currently marked block of text.

			[DELETE] will also delete the block when the cursor
			is in the block.

Write to disk		Prompts for a filename and then writes the marked
			block of text to a file on disk.

Remove markers		Removes (cancels) any block markers that are
			currently set.

Swap ends		Swaps the position of the cursor with the current
			block marker. Selecting it twice restores the cursor
			and block marker. Useful for seeing where the block
			begins.

\ED\
{EDIT} Menu --

Insert mode		Changes to "Insert" mode if not already set.

Overstrike mode		Changes to "Overstrike" mode if not already set.

Enter CTRL char		Prompts for the control character to be inserted.
			The character corresponding to the next pressed key
			is inserted without regard to any function that
			key might perform. Same as [ENTER CTRL].

Erase line		Deletes (erases) the entire text line. Same as
			[ERASE LINE].

Erase EOL		Deletes (erases) all characters from the cursor
			position to the end of the text line. Same as
			[ERASE EOL].

Center line		Centers the text line between the current left and
			right margins; advances to the next line.

Format paragraph	Formats a paragraph using the current left and
			right margins.

Repeat			The next typed character or edit function is
			repeated. This is either a multiple of four or the
			number typed in. Press [CANCEL] to abort. Same as
			[REPEAT].

Insert file		Prompts for and then inserts the specified file at
			the cursor position. {CONFIG, Emulation, Advance
			cursor past...} controls whether the cursor is left
			at the beginning or end of the inserted text.

Undo			Sub-menu - Undo recent editing operations keystroke-
			by-keystroke, line-by-line or deletion-by-deletion.

Lower/Upper case	Sub-Menu - Change a letter to upper case, lower case
			or switch its case. Works on a single char or within
			a highlighted block.

\FL\
{FILE} Menu --

Browse mode	When set to "Yes" the current file cannot be altered any
		further. Also, the next file opened with {FILE, Open}
		(<Alt-N>) will be opened in a fast "browse-only" mode.

		To alter a file currently in browse-only mode, close the file
		with {FILE, New}, set browse mode to "No" and re-edit the
		file with {FILE, Open}.

		Browse-only mode is permanently selected when starting up
		VEDIT with the "-b" option.

New		Empties (closes) the buffer. If the buffer contains an
		altered file, you are prompted whether the file should be
		saved or abandoned.

	Note:	{FILE, New} is rarely needed because you can use {FILE, Open}
		to save/abandon the current file and create a new file.

Open		Opens a new file for editing. The current file may be saved
		or abandoned. If the new file does not exist, it is created.

Directory   	Displays the directory of any desired drive or directory. Any
		new drive and/or directory you select will become the new
		"default" or "current" directory. Allows use of wildcard
		characters, e.g. "*.TXT". Press <Enter> to display all files.

Save as		Saves the file being edited under a new name and permits
		continued editing under this new name.

Save and cont.	Saves current file to disk for continued editing. Protection
		against power failure or major mistakes.

Exit		Prompts whether the current file is to be saved or abandoned.
		It then exits VEDIT. If the buffer is empty or the file has
		not been altered, it exits without prompting.

\GO\
{GOTO} Menu --

Begin of file	Moves the cursor to the first character in the file.

End of file	Moves the cursor past the last character in the file.

Line #		Prompts for a line number and moves the cursor to the
		beginning of that line.

Column #	Prompts for a column number and moves the cursor to that
		column. Useful when editing very long lines.

File position	Prompts for the absolute file position and moves the cursor
		to that position. "0" corresponds to the beginning of the
		file. Numbers can be entered in hexadecimal using the
		"0Hhhhh" format.

Set marker	Prompts for a digit "0 - 9". Sets an invisible text marker
		to which you can later "jump" back with {GOTO, Goto marker}.

Goto marker	Prompts for a digit "0 - 9". "Jumps" to a previously set
		text marker. If the marker has not been set the cursor does
		not move.

Matching ()	Performs nested parentheses matching for structured
		programming languages. With the cursor positioned at one of
		the eight characters (, ), {, }, [, ], <, >, it moves the
		cursor forward or backward to the matching pair. Otherwise,
		searches forwards for one of the characters.

\HM\
{HELP} Menu --

General		Same as pressing [HELP] while editing. Begins by displaying
		the current keyboard layout.

Status display	Displays the VEDIT version #, current directory, input and
		output file names, file size, memory usage, time and date.

\MM\
{MISC} Menu --

ASCII table	Displays the 256 byte ASCII table. Allows inserting any
		character while viewing the table.

DOS shell	Permits temporarily entering DOS. Give the DOS command "EXIT"
		to return to VEDIT.

Run DOS program	  Prompts for the name of the DOS program (or command) to be
		  run. Returns immediately to VEDIT when the program is done.

Color toggle	Toggles through different window colors (attributes).

VGA/EGA toggle	Toggles a VGA between 25, 28 and 50 line modes; toggles an
		EGA between 25 and 43 line modes.

Keyboard layout		Sub-menu - Add new keystroke macros and display
			existing ones. Also save keystroke macros to disk
			and load from disk.

\PR\
{PRINT} Menu --

All		Prints the entire file. All text is offset from the left edge
		of the paper by the "Printer margin". Typically prints 60
		lines of text on each page, with a 3 line margin at the top
		and bottom of each page. (Also performs a "Finish/Eject".)

Block		Prints a block of text. If no block marker is set, sets the
		first marker. If one or two block markers are set, prints
		the block.

Finish/Eject	Releases (flushes) the current print job. On a network
		printer (or under UNIX), this causes the text to be sent to
		the printer (print spooler). When printing to a file, this
		closes the file, making it permanent on disk.

		If {PRINT, Config, Page eject on Finish/Eject} is set, a page
		eject is also sent to the printer (or print file).

		Use this item following one or more {PRINT, Block}.

Eject		Advances the printer to the top of the next page. (Depending
		upon configuration, either line feeds or a form feed is
		used.)

		Use this item to start printing on a new page without
		releasing the print job (or closing the print file).

		On a non-network DOS printer, there is no noticeable
		difference between "Finish/Eject" and "Eject".

Reset		Resets VEDIT to assume printer is at the top of a page.

Config		Sub-menu - Change configuration of the margins, paper size,
		line spacing and enabling Form-feeds.

\SM\
{SEARCH} Menu --

Search		 Performs the same function as [SEARCH].

Replace		 Performs the same function as [REPLACE].

Again		 Performs the same function as [SEARCH AGAIN].

Config		 Sub-menu - select whether the search distinguishes between
		 upper and lower case letters.

\CF\
{CONFIG} Menu --

Tab stops	 Display/change the current tab stops.

Word processing	 Display/change left/right margins, enable justification.

Programming	 Access features that aid in writing programs.

Colors		 Display/change any of the screen colors.

Screen display	 Access screen display modes, enable scroll bars.

Emulation	 Access features for emulating other word processors.

File handling	 Access to file handling parameters.

Misc		 Access to cursor and keyboard options; beep and help levels.

Save into VEDIT  Saves any configuration changes and, optionally, any new
		 keystroke macros into VEDIT to make them permanent.

	NOTE:	 Use {MISC, Keyboard layout} to change keyboard layout.
		 Use {PRINT, Config} to change printer configuration.
		 Use {SEARCH, Config} to change search configuration.
\EM\
ESCAPE Menu --		(Press [ESCAPE] again to escape from this menu.)

Remove block markers	Removes any block markers that are currently set.
			The messages "1-END" or "BLOCK" will disappear from
			the status line. Same as {BLOCK, Remove markers}.

Exit			Saves/abandons the file and exits VEDIT.
			Same as {FILE, Exit}.

\UN\
{EDIT, Undo} Sub-Menu --

Edit		Each time pressed, restores the effect of the previous key-
		stroke.

Line		Restores the current line to its earlier condition. Pressed
		again, it moves to the previously accessed line. Pressed
		again, it restores the previously changed line.

Deletion	Inserts the most recently deleted text (of 3 or more
		characters) at the cursor. Pressed again inserts the
		previously deleted text and so on.

Reset		Resets the Undo stacks. Permits setting a starting point for
		extensive Undo later.

\LU\
{EDIT, Lower/Upper case} Sub-menu --

Changes the case of a letter; other characters are not affected. Works on a
single character or, if the cursor is within a highlighted block, on the
entire block.

Lower case		Force letter(s) to lower case.

Upper case		Force letter(s) to upper case.

Switch case		Switch the case of the letters.

\KM\
{MISC, Keyboard layout} Sub-menu --

Add macro	Adds a keystroke macro to the keyboard layout. First prompts
		for the key that will perform the keystroke macro. Then
		prompts for the keystrokes that constitute the macro. You can
		edit the keystroke macro using [BACKSPACE].

		Keystroke macros let you assign a frequently typed sequence
		of keys to an unused function or control key. They permit
		"hot key" access to common menu functions.

Record macro	Adds a keystroke macro by recording your editing operations
		while you make them. The status line indicates this special
		mode with "Record macro" on the left side. The right side
		indicates the key-press needed to stop the recording.

	NOTE:	Use {CONFIG, Save into VEDIT} to permanently add new
		keystroke macros to VEDIT.

Change layout	Lets you change the keyboard layout for the basic edit
		functions.

Display layout	Displays the keyboard layout. Either the entire layout or
		just the keystroke macros can be displayed.

Print layout	Prints the keyboard layout. Either the entire layout or just
		the keystroke macros can be printed.

Save to disk	Saves the entire keyboard layout including any newly added
		keystroke macro to a disk file. This file can easily be
		edited and then loaded back into VEDIT.

Load from disk	Load an entire new keyboard layout including new keystroke
		macros from a disk file. Examples files to load are
		"WORDSTAR.KEY" and "WORDPERF.KEY".

\PC\ {PRINT, Config} Sub-menu --
Paper length		Set to the LENGTH of the paper in lines, typically
			66. The number of lines printed per page is the paper
			size minus the top and bottom margins.

Top margin		The number of blank lines printed at the top of each
			page. A value of "0" causes printing to start on the
			very first line.

Bottom margin		The number of blank lines printed at the bottom of
			each page.

Left margin		This is the number of columns that all text is offset
			from the left edge of the paper.

	NOTE:		If all three margins are set to zero (0), the text is
			printed without any formatting.


Line spacing		Determines whether text is single spaced (1), double
			spaced (2) or triple spaced (3).

Enable Form-feed	When enabled, VEDIT uses a Form-feed character to
			advance to a new page;  otherwise multiple Line-feeds
			are used. Any Form-feed character in the text also
			signals VEDIT to start a new page.

Page eject on		Determines whether a page eject is included at the
Finish/Eject		end of each print job, i.e. with {PRINT, All} and
			{PRINT, Finish/Eject}. Normally enabled for non-
			network DOS printers and disabled for network and
			UNIX printers.

Printer		Selects the printer device:
		0 = Default	The default printer can be changed below.
		1 = LPT1:
		2 = LPT2:
		3 = LPT3:
		4 = COM1:
		5 = COM2:
		6 = COM3:
		7 = file	Each time you start a new print job, you will
				be prompted for the filename.

Change default printer	Selects the device to which VEDIT prints when
			{PRINT, Config, Printer} is set to "0". Under DOS,
			this is initially "PRN" (under UNIX/QNX, it is "lp").
			This device can also be changed to a filename such
			as "VEDITPRN.PRN"; however, each print job will then
			overwrite the previous one.

\SC\ {SEARCH, Config} Sub-menu --
Equate Upper/Lower case during search

	Determines whether upper and lower case letters are equated when
	searching and replacing. Typically they are equated so that the
	string "why" will match "Why", "WHY" and "why".

\GW\ {CONFIG, Word processing} Sub-menu --
Left margin  (0 - 80)

	The left margin used for formatting paragraphs. It is also the
	"Indent position" in Visual Mode and can also be changed with
	[INDENT] and [INDENT].

Right margin  (0=Off, 1 - 255)
	The right margin used for word wrap and for formatting paragraphs. A
	value of "0" disables both word wrap and formatting. It should be
	disabled when editing programs!

Justify paragraphs  (0=Off, 1=On, 2=Unjustify)

	Determines whether {EDIT, Format paragraph} will also justify the
	formatted paragraph. "0" disables justification; "1" enables
	justification. "2" will "unjustify" the paragraph, removing extra
	spaces.

\GP\ {CONFIG, Programming} Sub-menu --
Auto-indent mode

	When enabled, the indent position for a new line of text is initially
	the same as for the previous line of text. This is convenient for
	programming in 'C', Pascal, PL/I, etc. The indent position can then
	be changed with [INDENT] and [UNDENT].




Indent increment  (1 - 20)

	Controls how much further the editor indents each time [INDENT] is
	pressed.






Lower/upper case key conversion  (0 - 3)

	Determines whether lower case characters are converted to upper case.

	0 - No conversion takes place.
	1 - All lower case letters are converted to upper case.
	2 - Lower case letters are converted to upper case, unless the cursor
	    is past a "special" character set by parameter (5). Primarily
	    applicable to assembly language programming, where it is
	    desirable to have the Label, Opcode and Operand in upper case and
	    the comment in upper and lower case.
	3 - Similar to (2) except that characters are reversed instead of
	    being forced to upper case.

Conditional conversion character  (32 - 126)

	Sets the conditional upper/lower case conversion character used
	above.

\GD\ {CONFIG, Screen display} Sub-menu --
Enable scroll bars

	Determines whether editing windows are displayed with scroll bars
	and full borders; this simplifies mouse operation.






Enable sub-menu preview

	When set to "Yes", sub-menus are displayed before they are selected.
	This is non-standard, but is particularly useful when browsing the
	sub-menus in the {CONFIG} menu. When using a mouse, sub-menus are
	always previewed as is typical in other programs.




Highlight cursor line

	When set to "Yes", the entire line the cursor is on is highlighted.
	By default, the highlighting is displayed using "bright" characters.
	Or select an overriding color with {CONFIG, Colors, Color override
	for current line.}




Screen display mode (0 - 7)

	Controls in what mode characters are displayed.

	This option combines five options into one by having you add "mask"
	values (setting bits) for each desired sub-option.

	The base value of "0" displays all characters literally except <Tab>,
	<CR> and <LF>.

	Mask 1 - Display control characters in the format "^x".
	Mask 2 - Display graphics characters in the format "<nnn>".
	Mask 4 - Display <Tab>, <CR> and <LF> literally (when possible).







Newline display character (0 - 255)

	The character displayed at the end of each line in Visual Mode where
	the "newline" normally is. The default "space" (value 32) is, of
	course, not visible. Visible candidates on an IBM PC include values
	11 and 14.

Note:	This character is only displayed when Mask-4 of "Screen display
	mode" is reset.

Tab display character (0 - 255)

	The fill-character used to display tab characters on the screen. By
	default "spaces" (value 32) are displayed to the next tab position.
	If you need a better indication of where tab characters are, pick
	another character such as a "period" (value 46) or value 4.

Note:	This character is only displayed when Mask-4 of "Screen display
	mode" is reset.

\GE\ {CONFIG, Emulation} Sub-menu --
Cursor positioning mode (0 - 4)

	Controls how the cursor moves on the screen where there is no text.

	0 - Cursor positions only to real text.
	1 - Cursor moves straight up/down past short lines.
	2 - Cursor zig-zags up/down past short lines.
	3 - Cursor moves as (1), pads when inserting past line.
	4 - Cursor moves anywhere, pads when inserting past line.

Typewriter emulation mode (0 - 7)
	0 - [TAB CHAR] and <Enter> always insert respective characters.
	1 - [TAB CHAR] performs [NEXT TAB STOP] in "Overstrike" mode and
	    inserts a Tab character in "Insert" mode.
	2 - [TAB CHAR] always inserts; <Enter> performs [NEXT LINE] in
	    "Overstrike" mode and inserts a "newline" in "Insert" mode.
	3 - [TAB CHAR] same as mode "1"; <Enter> same as mode "2".
	4 - [TAB CHAR] always inserts; <Enter> always performs [NEXT LINE].
	5 - [TAB CHAR] same as mode "1"; <Enter> always performs [NEXT LINE].
more...
	6 - [TAB CHAR] always inserts; <Enter> inserts a "newline" following
	    the current line (opens a new line).
	7 - [TAB CHAR] same as mode "1"; <Enter> same as mode "6".







[BACKSPACE] emulation mode (0 - 3)

	0 - Always deletes the preceding character including "newline".
	1 - Only deletes in "Insert" mode, just moves the cursor left in
	    "Overstrike" mode.
	2 - Always deletes the preceding character, but stops at the
	    beginning of the line.
	3 - Only deletes in "Insert" mode and stops at the beginning of line.


Line emulation mode (0 - 5)
	0 - [LINE BEGIN] and [LINE END] move to 1st/last character only on
	    the current screen line. Successive presses have no effect.
	1 - Move to 1st/last character of current text line. Successive
	    presses have no effect.
	2 - Move to 1st/last char only on current screen line. Successive
	    presses move to preceding/next screen line.
	3 - Move to 1st/last char on current text line. Successive presses
	    move to preceding/next text line.
more...

	4 - Move to 1st/last char only on current screen line; otherwise
	    same as mode "5".
	5 - Move to 1st/last char on current text line. 2nd [LINE BEGIN]
	    moves to beginning of screen; 3rd moves to beginning of file.
	    2nd [LINE END] moves to end of screen; 3rd moves to end of file.





Special emulation modes (0 - 255)

	Enables special emulation modes. "0" disables the special modes.

	This option combines several options into one by having you add
	"mask" values (setting bits) for each desired sub-option.

	VEDIT accepts numeric expressions on input; therefore you can, for
	example, enter "8+32+64".

	Mask 1  - [SCREEN BEGIN] / [SCREEN END] goto 1st/last column on line.
	Mask 2  - [SCROLL UP] / [SCROLL DOWN] leave cursor in screen line.
	Mask 4  - Unused.
	Mask 8  - [CURSOR RIGHT] and [CURSOR LEFT] don't wrap.
	Mask 16 - Last char, not newline, is last line position (vi only).
	Mask 32 - [DELETE] doesn't delete newline.
	Mask 64 - [DELETE] doesn't delete block.
	Mask 128- [SEARCH] and [REPLACE] also perform [SEARCH AGAIN]


Expand <Tab> key with spaces

	Determines whether the [TAB CHARACTER] key is expanded with spaces to
	the next tab position. If not, a Tab character is inserted into the
	text. Tab characters are normally used to save disk space.

NOTE:	If you enable this option, you will probably want to disable {CONFIG,
	Emulation, Retab after columnar block insert} to prevent columnar-
	block operations from inserting Tab characters.

Auto-Cancel block markers

	Determines whether the new block of text is highlighted following a
	direct block copy or move.

	No  - New block of text is highlighted. This emulates WordStar,
	      Sidekick, etc., but requires an extra step to remove markers.
	Yes - Auto-cancel markers so that block markers are reset/removed
	      following a direct copy or move.

Horizontal scroll margin  (0 = Off, 40 - 255)

	Sets the maximum right margin for scrolling. Text lines longer than
	this "scroll margin" are wrapped to the next screen line. Typically
	set to 79 to have long lines wrapped on the screen. Set to "0" to
	disable the margin and have long lines extend indefinitely to the
	right.



Horizontal scroll increment  (1 - 100)

	Determines how much the screen scrolls right or left when [SCROLL
	RIGHT] and [SCROLL LEFT] are pressed or VEDIT scrolls automatically.






Retab after columnar block insert

	Controls whether sequences of spaces in a columnar block insertion
	are converted to Tab characters. During a columnar block copy/move to
	a text register, tab characters are always converted to spaces. When
	a columnar register is inserted or "Copy/Move to cursor" is
	performed, and this switch enabled, the spaces in the inserted text
	are converted to tab characters.

	This switch does not affect normal (non-columnar) block operations.


Trim spaces after columnar block insert

	Controls whether the trailing spaces of a columnar block insertion at
	the end of lines are removed. This only trims spaces on those lines
	involved in the insertion.





Advance cursor past block insert

	Determines whether the cursor advances following a block, text
	register or file insertion.

	No  - The cursor is not moved and is left at the beginning of the
	      inserted text.
	Yes - The cursor is advanced past the inserted text.

\GF\ {CONFIG, File handling} Sub-menu --
Auto-save interval (0=Off, minutes)

	Controls the auto-file-save feature. "0" disables it. Otherwise,
	VEDIT will save all modified files after the configured number of
	minutes (1 - 255) from the time of the last auto-save -OR- you
	manually selected {FILE, Save and continue}.




Enable backup files

	Controls whether backup files are created, i.e. whether the original
	file is renamed to "filename.BAK".






Enable fast browse mode

	Only applicable when VEDIT has been started in browse mode ("-b"),
	the current file is a "read-only" file or you selected {FILE, Browse
	mode} before editing the current file.

	When enabled, {GOTO, Beginning of file}, {GOTO, End of file} and
	relative jumps with the mouse will be instantaneous; however, the
	current line number will not always be known. When disabled, browsing
	is slower, but the line number is always displayed.

Use V-SWAP when entering DOS

	Determines whether VEDIT will use the V-SWAP program (when already
	installed in memory) to swap itself out of memory when entering DOS.
	No error is given if V-SWAP is not in memory.





E-O-F processing (0=Off, 1=Truncate, 2=EOF Mark, 3=Padding)
	Controls how VEDIT deals with the Ctrl-Z end-of-file marker used in
	some DOS text files. If enabled, VEDIT does not read past the first
	Ctrl-Z and will not insert Ctrl-Z characters.

	0 - Normal text/binary file. Ctrl-Z is not treated specially.
	1 - Text file. Files are written in their exact file length.
	2 - Text file. Files are written with one Ctrl-Z end-of-file marker.
	3 - Text file. Files are written with one Ctrl-Z and are padded with
	    zeros to make the file length a multiple of 128.

File type ((0=CR+LF, 1=LF, 2=CR, 64=recsize)

	Determines the type of file VEDIT assumes it is editing. Controls
	screen display and some editing operations.

	0=CR+LF	 Each text line ends in both a Carriage-return and Line-feed.
		 Typical for DOS.
	1=LF	 Each text line ends in just a Line-feed.
		 Typical for UNIX/XENIX.

	2=CR	 Each text line ends in just a Carriage-Return.
		 Typical for Mac.
	64	 Instead of assuming that lines end in a "newline" character,
		 VEDIT treats each line as simply 64 characters. Useful for
		 data and binary files. Word processing and columnar
		 operations are not available in this mode.




	Note:	 Although VEDIT can edit some binary files, such as .EXE
		 files, in text mode (file types 0, 1 and 2) you may have
		 trouble moving the cursor when very long lines are reached.
		 In this case simply change the "File type" to "64".

Enable auto-file type

	When enabled, VEDIT sets the best file type for each file edited. If
	a LF is not found within the first 1024 bytes, a binary file is
	assumed and "File type" is set to "64". If a LF is found, the "File
	type" is set to "0" or "1" depending upon whether the previous
	character is a CR.

	You can override the "File type" if VEDIT sets it incorrectly for
	your needs.

\GM\ {CONFIG, Misc} Sub-menu --
Cursor type in overstrike mode  (0 - 6)
Cursor type in insert mode  (0 - 6)

	The displayed cursor type used in overstrike and insert modes.
	Types 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 are best on the IBM PC.

	0 - Blinking Underline (configurable) character
	1 - Blinking Reverse Video Block - variable blink rate
	2 - Solid Reverse Video Block
	3 - Attribute  (uses IBM PC "blink" attribute)
	4 - Thin system cursor (IBM PC only)
	5 - Medium system cursor
	6 - Full-height system cursor

Cursor blink rate  (10 - 255)

	The cursor's blink rate for cursor types 0 and 1. A smaller number
	causes the cursor to blink faster.






Keyboard input options  (0 - 15)

	Controls processing of keyboard characters. Only rarely changed!

	This option combines four options into one by having you add "mask"
	values (setting bits) for each desired sub-option.

	The base value of "0" strips 8 bit characters, discards unassigned
	control keys and preserves the case of letters.

	Mask 1 - Enable 8 bit (graphics) keyboard characters.
	Mask 2 - Treat 8 bit characters as function keys.
	Mask 4 - Enter unassigned function/control keys into the text.
	Mask 8 - Reverse the case of all letters, e.g. typing "a" gives you
		 "A" and typing "A" gives you "a".





Beep level (0 - 4)

	Controls under what conditions VEDIT produces a beep on the speaker.

	0 - Never.
	1 - Only from the macro language (YA command).
	2 - Also when pressing invalid keys in dialog boxes.
	3 - Also when pressing invalid keys in the menu system.
	4 - Also when pressing unassigned function keys.

Help level (0 - 1)

	Enables the help line at the bottom of the screen within the menu
	system and during Point & Shoot file selection. "0" turns off this
	line.





Mouse options (0=Off, 1=Corner, 2=Center)

	Controls mouse support and where the mouse cursor is initially
	placed.

	0 - Disable mouse support.
	1 - Enable mouse support, place mouse cursor in top left corner
	    where it is "invisible".
	2 - Enable mouse support, place mouse cursor in center of screen.

	To select any "compatibility" options, add the "mask" value to your
	choice of "1" or "2" above.

	+128	Supports very old mouse drivers. Rarely if ever needed.
	+64	Causes VEDIT to perform a "Hardware/software" mouse reset
		upon startup. May be needed to support Mouse Systems drivers.
	+32	Causes VEDIT to reset the mouse following {MISC, DOS Shell}
		or {MISC, Run DOS program}.


Keyboard typematic rate (0=Normal, 1 - 32)

	Controls how fast the keyboard will repeat when a key is held down.
	It is only applicable with IBM PC AT and PS/2 type keyboards.

	Higher numbers repeat faster. With value "0" VEDIT does not change
	the existing "typematic" rate.

\TM\
Select text marker -- (Set marker; Goto marker)

Press a digit "0" - "9" to select the desired text marker. Or press <Enter>
or any function key to select marker "0".

Up to 10 invisible markers may be set for remembering positions in a file and
returning to them later. Markers "stick" to particular characters.
Attempting to go to a marker that has not been set has no effect.

\CT\
Display/Change Tab stops --

Displays the current tab stops. Press "Y" to change positions. If you want a
constant tab interval, e.g. "8", enter the single number and press <Enter>.
Otherwise, enter all of the explicit tab stops followed by one <Enter>. (The
cursor automatically moves to the next line if needed.)

NOTES:	Any tab characters past the last explicit tab stops will be displayed
	as normal control characters.

	Setting a tab interval of "0" causes all tab characters to be
	displayed as normal control chars.

\AT\
ASCII table --		Display the ASCII table; insert any value.

All 256 characters are displayed with their decimal values. The first 32
control characters are also displayed in the common expanded "^" format.
Press <Enter> to see the next page of characters. Press "I" to enter a
particular character - you will be prompted for its decimal value.

Note:	You can also enter control chars directly using [ENTER CTRL] or
	{EDIT, Enter CTRL char}. Box drawing characters can be entered
	directly using the IBM PC keyboard's "ALT keypad" feature.

\FN\ \FO\
{FILE, New} or {FILE, Open} prompt -- Save or abandon the current file.

[Y]es		Saves all changes to the current file.

[N]o		Abandons (quits) the current file. The changes to the current
		file are not saved.

\QF\
Abandon altered file [Y]es [N]o -- Confirmation for "EQ" command

[Y]es		Abandons the current file without saving any changes. If this
		is the last altered file, it exits VEDIT, otherwise it
		repeats for the next file.

[N]o		Cancels the command; does not abandon the file.

\FE\
{FILE, Exit} prompt -- Save/abandon file and exit.

[Y]es		Saves the specified file and exits VEDIT. If the file has no
		assigned filename, you are prompted for one.

[N]o-abandon	Abandons (quits) the specified file and exits VEDIT. The
		changes are not saved.

[C]ancel	Does not save/abandon the file and returns to editing.

\FF\
"Enter filename" prompt --

Enter the name of the desired file. You can include a full drive and path
specification. Examples: "letter2.txt", "c:\documents\family\letter2.txt".

-OR-	Just press <Enter> to select the file via "Point & Shoot".

-OR-	Enter a 'filespec' such as "*.txt" to select via Point & Shoot only
	from those files ending in ".txt".

\SF\
Point & Shoot file selection --

To select a file, use the cursor keys to highlight the desired filename and
press <Enter>. When there are many files, [PAGE UP] and [PAGE DOWN] may help
in viewing the filenames; [LINE END] (<End>) highlights the last filename and
[LINE BEGIN] (<Home>) highlights the first filename.

To select a filename by incremental searching, type the first characters of
the filename. The first (or nearest) filename matching those characters will
be highlighted. Press [LINE BEGIN] (<Home>) to reset the incremental search.

Selecting the special filename ".." moves up in the directory structure. Any
directories are displayed before other filenames and are indicated with a
following "\". Selecting a subdirectory moves to that subdirectory.

The top line displays the current "filespec" consisting of the drive,
directory name and the wildcard "filter" that determines which filenames are
displayed. Press [CURSOR UP] to recall previously entered filespecs.

Press [TAB CHAR] (<Tab>) to access the top line and enter a new filespec.

Press [ESCAPE] to cancel the point & shoot operation.

Use {FILE, Directory (change)} to change the default "current" directory.

\AM\
Add keystroke macro --

Adds new keystroke macros to the keyboard layout. Also modifies and deletes
existing ones. Immediately press [ESCAPE] to cancel this function.

For "Function/control key" press the function (or <ALT>) key to which a
sequence of keystrokes will be assigned. Then press [ESCAPE].

For "Edit sequence" enter the keystrokes exactly as you would type them to
perform the desired editing operation. Press [ESCAPE] again.

To edit an existing keystroke macro, enter the corresponding key at the first
prompt. Press the key again at the second prompt. This will display the
entire keystroke sequence. Then use [BACKSPACE] to delete keystrokes from the
end and enter the revised keystrokes.

To delete an existing keystroke macro, enter the corresponding key at the
first prompt. At the "Edit sequence" prompt, immediately press [ESCAPE].

Alternatively, use {MISC, Keyboard layout, Record macro} to add a new
keystroke macro by recording your editing operations as you make them.

Use {CONFIG, Save into VEDIT} to permanently add new keystroke macros to
VEDIT.

\LM\
Record macro --

Adds a new keystroke macro to the keyboard layout. First prompts for
"Function/control key" - this is usually an unused function (or <ALT>) key to
which a sequence of keystrokes are then assigned. Follow with [ESCAPE].

The status line will display "Record macro" to indicate that all editing
operations are now being recorded. The status line also indicates the
key-press needed to turn off the recording. This is either the "hot-key"
for {MISC, Keyboard layout, Record macro} (default: Alt-K) or <Ctrl-]>.

Alternatively, new keystroke macros can be added using {MISC, Keyboard
layout, Add macro}.

\KC\
Change keyboard layout --

This function lets you change the key assignments for the basic edit
functions. It does not change or add keystroke macros.

[M]odify layout; [C]reate new basic layout; [D]elete entire layout?

[M]odify	Does not initially delete any assignments. Use this when
		making small to moderate changes to the keyboard layout.

[C]reate	Deletes all basic edit function assignments from the
		keyboard layout; it does not delete keystroke macros. Use
		this when you want to make major changes to the layout but
		save all existing keystroke macros.

[D]elete	Deletes all key assignments including keystroke macros. Use
		this only when entering an entirely new keyboard layout.

Beginning with [BACKSPACE], each edit function is displayed, following by
the current key assignment. If there is none, "Not assigned" is displayed.
You can then enter a new assignment followed by <Enter>, or advance to the
next edit function by immediately pressing <Enter>.

You can also type the following character followed by <Enter>:

B	Go back to the beginning, i.e. back to "[BACKSPACE]".
P	Go to the previous item.
E	Exit this function and return to normal editing.
-	Delete the current assignment, changing it to "not assigned".
+	Add a duplicate assignment.

Duplicate assignments permit two (or more) keys to perform the same edit
function. After entering "+", the name of the edit function is displayed
again; normally this is followed by "Not assigned" unless there already is a
duplicate assignment.

When done, VEDIT checks that [ESCAPE] is assigned to some key. If not, it
is assigned to the <Esc> key. This ensures that enough keys are defined
to exit VEDIT via the {ESCAPE} menu. Remember that you can use <Space Bar>
to navigate a menu.

\KD\
[F]ull layout  [K]eystroke macros only

[F]ull		Displays the full layout which includes the basic keyboard
		layout and all keystroke macros.

[K]eystroke	Skips displaying the basic layout and displays only the
		keystroke macros.

\KS\
Save in [T]ext or [B]inary format -

[T]ext		The keyboard layout is saved in a format that is easy to
		edit. However this format takes a few seconds to load with
		{MISC, Keyboard layout, Load from disk}.

[B]inary	The keyboard layout is saved in a format that cannot be
		easily edited. This format loads very quickly into VEDIT.

\GH\
		-- NO SPECIFIC HELP IS AVAILABLE --

Prompts to "Press" a key require only a single keystroke - do not press
<Enter>. Prompts to "Enter" a value or string must be followed by <Enter>.
Press [CANCEL] (<Ctrl-C>) to cancel this operation.

When prompted for a number, you can also enter a numeric expression. For
example: "1234+854/2", which is identical to "1234+(854/2)".

Before you press <Enter> you can edit your response using [BACKSPACE],
[CURSOR RIGHT], [CURSOR LEFT] and [DELETE]. Characters typed in the middle
of a line are inserted. You do NOT need to move the cursor to the end of
the line before pressing <Enter>.

Responses can be entered in "Insert" or "Overstrike" mode. Press [INSERT]
to toggle between the modes. Initally VEDIT is in "Insert" mode. This is
independent of the Insert/Overstrike mode for normal editing.

\STAT\
BLOCK		Indicates that both block markers have been set. The block
		can be processed from the {BLOCK} menu or printed from the
		{PRINT} menu. The block markers can be removed (cancelled)
		by pressing [CANCEL].

C-N-S		On the IBM PC, the status of the Caps/Num/Scroll Lock is
		displayed on the status line with the single letters "C", "N"
		and "S".

COL:		Indicates in which column of the text the cursor is located.

DISK		Indicates that the disk is full. This requires immediate
		attention since the file currently cannot be saved to disk.
		Use {MISC, DOS shell} to enter DOS and delete unnecessary
		files. Or use {FILE, Save as} to save the current file on
		another disk.

filename	Indicates the name of the file you are currently editing.
		Technically it is the name of the "output file" - the name
		that the file will have when you save it on disk.

		When the filename is preceded with "!", this indicates that
		the file was opened in "browse-only" mode - you cannot alter
		the file, but you can browse through it more quickly.

INS		Indicates that you are in "Insert" mode. Any typed text will
		be inserted and not overwrite the existing text.

LINE:		Indicates on what line of the file the cursor is. When the
		message is all in capital letters the entire file is memory.
		Otherwise the message is displayed as follows:

Line:		The beginning of the file is currently in memory, but the end
		of the file is on disk.

lINE:		The end of the file is currently in memory, but the beginning
		of the file has been written to disk.

line:		Neither the very beginning nor end of the file is currently
		in memory - they are both on disk.

RM:		This message is only displayed when a right margin is set and
		is followed by the margin value.

1-END		Indicates that you have marked one end of a block of text.
		The block of text is highlighted as you move the cursor. The
		block block can be processed from the {BLOCK} menu or printed
		from the {PRINT} menu. The block markers can be removed
		(cancelled) by pressing [CANCEL] (<Ctrl-C>).

<<		Indicates that the screen is horizontally scrolled. It is
		followed by the column number corresponding to the left side
		of the screen.

\MARG\

You can set the left margin in the {CONFIG, Word processing} sub-menu or with
the [INDENT] and [UNDENT] keys which change the margin by an "increment",
typically 4.

To enable word wrap and paragraph formatting, you must set the right margin
using the {CONFIG, Word processing} sub-menu. A value of 00 turns word wrap
off and disables {EDIT, Format paragraph}.

\FORM\

{EDIT, Format paragraph} will format (or re-format) a paragraph between the
current left and right margins. Optionally, the paragraph will be right
justified if this is selected from the {CONFIG, Word processing} sub-menu.

After formatting, the cursor moves to the next paragraph. Therefore, you can
repeatedly select {EDIT, Format paragraph} to format one paragraph after
another.

REMEMBER:  Paragraphs must be separated from each other by a blank line.

\HZ\

The screen may be scrolled horizontally by pressing [SCROLL RIGHT] and
[SCROLL LEFT]. The status line indicates how far the screen has been
scrolled. The horizontal scrolling works in "increments", typically 20
columns. This increment can be changed with {CONFIG, Emulation, Horizontal
scroll increment}.

An optional maximum line length (with horizontal scrolling) can be set with
{CONFIG, Emulation, Horizontal scroll margin}. Lines longer than this margin
are wrapped to the next screen line. The leftmost screen column is then
reserved for the "Continuation character". A value of "79" forces long
lines to simply wrap on the screen with no horizontal scrolling.

\IC\
To enter control characters into the text first press [ENTER CTRL] (<Ctrl-P>)
and then type the desired control character such as <Esc>, <Ctrl-C>, etc.
Control characters are often needed in the text to control printer functions
such as font changes, underlining and overstrike. Control characters and
graphics characters can also be inserted using {MISC, ASCII table}.

To enter a "null" (value 00) press [ENTER CTRL] and then <Ctrl-2>.

Graphics characters (with value 128 - 255) can also be inserted using the
"ALT-Keypad" feature on the IBM PC keyboard. For example, to enter
the graphics character "╔" hold down the ALT key and type 201 on the keypad
(not the top row of keys) and release the ALT key.

If you use a sequence of control characters over and over again, you may want
to store it in a text register and then insert the text register when needed.

\CONV\
Several options are available for converting lower case letters to upper
case. They are controlled with {CONFIG, Program, Lower/upper case key
conversion}.

0	No conversion is made

1	All lower case letters are converted to upper case

2	Only lower case letters to the left of the "conditional conversion
	character", typically ";" are converted to upper case. Useful for
	assembly language programming.

3	To the left of the "conditional conversion character", lower case
	letters are converted to upper case and upper case letters are
	converted to lower case.

The "conditional conversion character" may be changed with {CONFIG, Program,
Conditional conversion character}.

\M1\ \M2\ \M3\ \M4\ \MOUSE\
MOUSE SUPPORT - Pull-down menus:
--------------------------------

To access the menu system, move the mouse to the status line and click the
left button. To access the "Escape" menu click the right button.

To navigate the menu system, hold down the left button. Sliding the mouse
along the top screen line displays each sub-menu. Sliding the mouse up/down
highlights each item or sub-sub-menu. Placing the mouse on an item and
releasing the left button selects the item.

To escape from the menu system, move the mouse off the menus (into the text)
and click the left button. This is the same action as [CANCEL].

Pressing both mouse buttons also performs a [CANCEL]. This is best done
by holding down the left button, clicking the right button and releasing the
left button.

Clicking the right button within the menu system accesses the on-line help.



Scroll Bars
-----------

Standard scroll bar functions are available through use of the left button.

The vertical scroll bar indicates your position with respect to the file. The
horizontal scroll bar indicates how much the screen is scrolled sideways with
respect to 1000 columns. (However, you can edit lines longer than 1000
characters; the scroll bar slider will remain in the rightmost position.)

Clicking an arrow scrolls in the indicated direction. Holding down the left
button scrolls continuously.

Clicking on the vertical scroll bar above or below the "slider" performs a
[PAGE UP] or [PAGE DOWN]. You can also drag the slider in order to quickly
jump to a relative position in the file. This may take some time in
multi-megabyte files, but will be nearly instantaneous in "browse" mode.

Clicking on the horizontal scroll bar to the left or right of the "slider"
performs a [SCROLL LEFT] or [SCROLL RIGHT] respectively (typically 20
columns). You can also drag the slider in order to quickly scroll the screen
sideways up to 1000 columns.

"Stealth" scroll bars and the right button
------------------------------------------

The right button performs useful (and non-standard) mouse operations.

When scroll bars are enabled, the right button can also access them. When
scroll bars are disabled, the rightmost window column is considered a
"stealth" scroll bar, just as if it were visible. Similarly, the bottom window
line is the horizontal stealth scroll bar.

Clicking the right button on real or "stealth" arrows scrolls in the desired
direction. Clicking anywhere on a real or stealth scroll bar immediately jumps
to the relative position.

To make quick jumps within the file, move the mouse to the relative position
on the real/stealth vertical scroll bar and click the right button. (This may
take some time in multi-megabyte files!)

To [PAGE UP] move the mouse to the four rightmost columns of the top line, not
including the real/stealth scroll bar, and click the right button.

To [PAGE DOWN] move the mouse to the four rightmost columns of the bottom
line, not including the real/stealth scroll bar, and click the right button.

You can also [SCROLL UP] / [SCROLL DOWN] by moving the mouse anywhere in the
top/bottom half of the window, respectively, and holding the right button as
long as desired. Moving the mouse further to the right scrolls the screen
faster. THIS IS A VERY CONVENIENT WAY TO SCROLL AT VARYING SPEEDS.

In summary, the right button responds to these regions of the window:

╒════════════════════════════════════════════════╕
│					    PgUp^│
│		Scroll Up			▒│
│(Slow ....................................Fast)▒│
│						▒│
│						▒│
│						▒│
│						▒│
│						▒│
│		Scroll Down			▒│
│					    PgDn▒│
│<▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒>v│
╘════════════════════════════════════════════════╛

(Note the slight inconsistency in the lower right corner between "real"
and "stealth" scroll bars.)

Block Operation
---------------

To move the editing cursor to the mouse position, click the left button.

To highlight a block of text, simply drag the mouse over the desired block
of text with the left button held down.

HINTS:  To highlight a small block, move the mouse to the desired 1st
	position. Press and hold the left button. Drag the mouse to the 2nd
	position - the highlighting will follow the mouse. Release the left
	button. This sets both block markers.

	To highlight a block larger than the screen, move the mouse to the
	desired 1st position. Press and hold the left button. Drag the mouse
	to another character and then back again to the original position.
	Release the left button; this only sets the 1st block marker. Then
	page to the desired 2nd position. Finish highlighting, by pressing,
	dragging and releasing the left button. Both block markers are now
	set.

To copy a block, first highlight the block, setting both markers. Move the
mouse to the position for inserting the block. While holding down the <Ctrl>
key, click the left button.

Moving a block is similar, except that you hold down the <Alt> key and click
the left button.


Search/Replace Options
----------------------

The top line of the pop-up window for the Search/Replace functions reads
"Press ... for options". To access the search options move the mouse to this
top line and click the left button. You can then click on the desired
option(s). When all options are selected, move the mouse anywhere else in the
prompt window and click the right button.


Misc
----

VEDIT's simple dialog boxes display selections in square brackets, i.e.
"[Y]es [N]o". You can answer these by moving the mouse to the selection
letter (or the bracket) and clicking the left button.

When normal prompts are on the screen, the left button acts identical to the
<Enter> key (when it is not on top of a selection). Therefore, the prompt
"Press any key to continue" is satisfied by moving the mouse anywhere in the
window containing the prompt and clicking the left button.

When prompts and menus are on the screen, the right button acts identical to
the [HELP] key and supplies context sensitive help.

Pressing both buttons together always performs a [CANCEL], cancelling any
current operation. During normal editing, this removes any block markers.

To make the mouse cursor invisible, move it to the top left hand corner of
the screen. This is useful when the mouse driver is loaded, but you don't
want to use the mouse. Or set {CONFIG, Misc, Mouse cursor} to "0".

{CONFIG, Misc, Mouse cursor} also controls the mouse cursor upon startup. "0"
leaves the mouse cursor off, effectively disabling mouse support. "1" starts
the mouse cursor in the top left hand corner where it remains "invisible"
until moved somewhere else. "2" starts the mouse cursor in the middle of the
screen.
