   The TER editor operates in two different modes -- Document or Text Mode. 
The document mode is initiated when TER routine is called with the word 
wrapping turned on. Otherwise the Text mode is invoked. 

   In the document mode,  the text in a window is automatically formatted to 
wrap at the end of the line. Therefore the complete line of text is always 
visible regardless of the window width.  In the text mode, one needs to use 
horizontal scrolling to view the text past the width of the current window. 

   Both modes allow the use of the character formatting 
options(bold/italic/underline).  However, the paragraph formatting is available 
only in the document mode. 

   The menu selection always shows only the applicable options for the current 
mode.
