WordStar type commands and can handle files up to 64K.  The new text editor
will automatically run from Point & Shoot and can also be used as a stand-
alone text editor.  The documentation for this editor is contained in a
separate file called "PASEDOC.TXT" contained on the distribution disk.

editor should make backups (.BAK's).

----------------------

Added TREE UNDELETE command to recover deleted files & directories

Moved FILE OPTIONS to SETUP and removed Duplicate file check (now always on)

Changed drive selection in SETUP to designate each drive used instead of
the last drive used and modified program so it may be run on any hard drive
(previously had to be lowest lettered hard drive)

Added USAGE command which incorporates a comprehensive set of Usage Log
and Protection features to the Point & Shoot Program.  The addition of the
password protection mechanism has changed the format of the user-defined
menu file.  Users of versions prior to version 2.0 MUST use the menu
function UPGRADE found in the Menu Commands.

Added memory statistics and other information to the Alt-S statistics screen

Included the text file editor directly into the program for quicker access.
Text editor now also automatically uses the memory that is available to
allow more flexibility on systems with limited memory (max still 64K).
Editor has additional command to examine the current amount of editing
memory available.  Added option in SETUP to allow user to specify the text
editor to use if they wish to use an editor other than the built-in P&S
editor.  F4 New File command in editor now prompts for a new file name.

Redesigned the Alt-D drop to DOS command to free as much memory as possible
before attempting to execute a DOS command to allow larger programs/commands
to be executed from this part of the program

Enhanced the printed documentation available to registered users.  Now
includes user guide and reference sections.

Changed FILE ATTRIBUTE command to FILE ATTR to allow more space for commands
on FILE menu

Enhanced the FILE VIEW command to read large files quicker and to support
correct on-screen spacing of tabs in text files

Added TREE A&B command to show directories on floppy disks

Added marker in file list to indicate other than standard file attribute

Added option to FILE GLOBAL command to gather all files on hard disk(s) in
one sorted/filtered list then copy or delete individual files

Added file delete confirmation to original FILE GLOBAL command

Improved the DISKFORMAT command to correct problems with some computers

Added FILE WINDOW command to show dual file list (origin and target files)

Added Alt-L pop-up calendar command to show on-screen perpetual calendar

Added [Esc] feature to FILE BLOCK commands to interrupt long activities

Added ******** mask to hidden subdirectories.  If protection is on, then
users cannot make a hidden subdirectory the Origin or Target.  Users can
also be restricted to a single subdirectory in Tree & File operations.

Added inverse date (newest first) sort order option in File commands.  Sort
may now be aborted with [Esc] if the file sorting process is too long.

Added FILE LOCATE command to find files with embedded text strings

Added INDEX database to keep track of files (or anything else)

Changed FILE NEWCOPY command to FILE NEWER

Added additional error checking to TREE COLLECT to ensure that the program
does not halt if too many diretories are found to display on the screen.
The limit is now 255 total directories on the tree.  If more, the
program will show as many as it can, where previously too many directories
would halt the program.

Revisions A-D: Minor bug fixes.

Revision E: Added top line text selection in SETUP

Revision F: Added EMS Use and Quit Prompt options to SETUP

Revision G: Added mouse cursor color selection to SETUP

Revision H: Added Ctrl-key selection of user-defined menus (first cap letter)

Revision I: Revised the DISKFORMAT command to allow up to 4 floppy drives.
            SETUP includes a list of floppy drive numbers that must be
            filled in to select the correct floppy drive during format.
            External floppy drives are often numbers 2 or 3.

Revision J: Modified the Ctrl-key selection of user-defined menus to avoid
            conflicts with certain keystrokes like Ctrl-M = [Cr],
            Ctrl-I = [Tab], Ctrl-H = [BackSpace], Ctrl-V = [Insert], etc..
            In addition, while the program previously used the first letter
            of the user-defined menu item as the Ctrl-key trigger, now the
            first UPPERCASE letter is used.  This feature allows more
            flexibility in the naming of user-defined menus.

Revision K: Added BOOT DRIVE to SETUP to allow for systems which boot from
            drives other than C and modified directory tree routines to
            correctly designate floppy drives on these systems.  User
            defined submenus now highlight the first UPPERCASE letter or
            number.

Revision L: Added a second menu choice list that appears if primary menu
            selections are ambiguous (have the same trigger letter).  Also
            changed User-Id entry to show name and added shading to
            password entry.

Revision M: Added a new report to Timelog Database: Summary by Activity
            which is similar to the usage summary but is sorted by
            Activity.
