╩┼─ IS DESIGNED TO MAKE THE MOST EFFICIENT USE OF MEMORY. ╔N GENERAL, EACH
CHARACTER OCCUPIES SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 1 BYTE; 60 CHARACTERS USE 64 BYTES. ═OST
OTHER TEXT EDITORS USE 40 BYTES PER LINE, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF
CHARACTERS ON THE LINE. ╩┼─ USES ONLY AS MANY BYTES AS ARE REQUIRED. ╞OR
EXAMPLE, ╩┼─ CAN STORE 60 LINES WHICH ARE, ON AVERAGE, HALF FULL (I.E., 20
CHARACTERS PER LINE) IN APPROXIMATELY 1300 BYTES. ╔N CONTRAST, AN AVERAGE
EDITOR WOULD USE 2400 BYTES TO STORE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TEXT.
╘HE MEMORY IS CONTINUALLY BEING "COMPACTED" AS YOU USE THE EDITOR. ╔F MEMORY
BECOMES LOW, TRY MOVING THE CURSOR TO THE START OF THE TEXT AND WAIT FOR 1
MINUTE. ╘HEN MOVE TO THE END OF TEXT AND WAIT FOR 1 MINUTE OR MORE. ╔F THERE
IS ANY EXCESS MEMORY, THE COMPACTOR WILL FIND IT AND YOU WILL NOTICE THE
"%FREE" MEMORY (INDICATED ON THE STATUS LINE) INCREASE.
┼╥╥╧╥ ═┼╙╙┴╟┼╙
╔F YOU TRY TO DO SOMETHING THAT ╩┼─ IS NOT ABLE TO DO (E.G., TRY TO MOVE UP
WHEN THE CURSOR IS ON THE TOP LINE OF TEXT), THE SCREEN BORDER WILL FLASH.
╦╬╧╫╬ ┬╒╟╙
╔F YOU ACCIDENTALLY PRESS <├OMMODORE KEY> AND <╙╚╔╞╘> AT THE SAME TIME, THE
SCREEN WILL DEVELOP A FUNNY PATTERN. ╘O RETURN TO NORMAL, SIMPLY PRESS THESE
TWO KEYS AGAIN.
