OpED: The Full-Screen Editor for Opus
OPed uses a mixture of commands. Some will be familiar to WordStar
users. Others are a kind of generic VT-100 (or ANSI) command set.

OpED: Quoting replies
---------------------
If your message is a reply, you can quote from the original message.
You can look at four lines at a time and optionally copy those four
lines into the message you are writing.
You can page through the original but only in a forward direction.
To go backwards in the original, you have to quit the Read-In mode
and start it again.

OpED: Technical notes
---------------------
All VT-100 keys begin with "<esc>O" or "<esc>[". Opus treats the two
as being the same key. That opening sequence is followed by one of
the following characters...
<F1> ... P <UP> ... A <HOME> ... H
<F2> ... Q <DOWN> ... B <END> ... K
<F3> ... R or w <RIGHT> ... C
<F4> ... S or x <LEFT> ... D
Please note that Opus does not currently use all these keys. They are
given for reference purposes only.
OpED: Notes
-----------
HINT: If your special keys (eg "<up>") don't work, make sure you
are emulating ANSI or VT-100.

"VT-100"......the name of a terminal made by Digital Equipment Corp.
"OpEd"........hopefully not anybody's tradmark. It is a term used
by newspapers for the page OPposite the main EDitorial
page. Normally this page contains feature-type
reading. "OpEd" is pronounced "awp-ehd." At least
that's the way it sounds in Dallas.
