Features in DME
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, the features mentioned her are actually features of the menu set
up (ie the contents of sys:s/.edrc). These have been designed for
maximum utility, making DME much more 'user-friendly' (aargh! I
hate that expression).
Save: This doesn't just save the file to the original name, but
also makes a backup copy of the working file, to RAM: with
a name of dme.wrk. Just in case!! You may want to change
this to somewhere on a disk ... it's a bit easier to
recover from a disk!
SaveAs: As "save" a backup is made - to the same location (ie dme.wrk)
Undo:
The "Cut" and "Delete Line" options actually move the text
cut to a temporary file in the RAMt: drawer (t: is often
assigned to RAM:t in the startup-sequence) called dme.tmp.
Undo copies the contents of this temporary file back to the
text at the cursor position.
Character Colours:
These options, along with the bold, italic and underline
options do not appear on the screen as actual colours etc,
but the relevant escape codes are automatically entered on
the screen so that the file, when viewed with "type" or
"ppmore" will display the required characteristics. It is
possible to set the screen font for DME, but this is ONLY
for the screen and not for the file itself.
Print:
This option actually saves the current file to a temporary
location (this time RAM:t/dme.prn) and uses PPtype to print
this temporary file. The temporary file is then deleted.
