╘HE ╙CREEN ┼DITOR IS A MODIFICATION OF AN EXCELLENT PUBLIC-DOMAIN PROGRAM. ╘HIS PROGRAM LETS YOU CREATE LOW-RES SCREENS USING ALL OF THE COLOR, REVERSE AND GRAPHIC SYMBOLS JUST LIKE YOU WOULD IN DIRECT MODE. ┬UT, THE ╙CREEN ┼DITOR ACTUALLY ALLOWS YOU TO SAVE THESE SCREENS AS ┬┴╙╔├ PROGRAMS THAT DUPLICATE YOUR SCREENS WITH PRINT STATEMENTS!
╬OW SEVERAL THINGS WORK A BIT DIFFERENTLY FROM THE ORIGINAL VERSION. ╞IRST, SCREEN SCROLLING IS DISABLED WITH ONLY ONE EXCEPTION. ╔NSERT MODE WILL STILL FUNCTION. ╘HIS CAN CAUSE AN INADVERTANT SCREEN SCROLL DOWN, DESTROYING PART OF THE SCREEN BEING WORKED ON. ╫E CONSIDERED IT A WORTHWHILE TRADEOFF TO BE ABLE TO KEEP INSERTING AND DELETING--BUT BE CAREFUL. ╘HE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN IS ALSO NOT CORRECTLY HANDLED IN DIRECT MODE. ╘HE REASON IS BECAUSE THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF ANY SCREEN NORMALLY DISPLAYED MUST HAVE THE POKE VALUE PUT IN SCREEN ╥┴═ AND THE CHARACTER COLOR POKED INTO THE CORRESPONDING COLOR ╥┴═. ╔F THIS IS NOT DONE, AN UNDESIRABLE SCREEN SCROLL WILL OCCUR DURING PROGRAM EXECUTION.
╘HE ╙CREEN ┼DITOR MAY ALSO BE ACCESSED DURING AN ACTUAL PROGRAM RUN TO SNITCH A LOW-RES SCREEN FOR USE ELSEWHERE OR FOR MODIFICATION. ┬┼ ┴╫┴╥┼ THAT IF YOU ENTER THE EDITOR IN THIS MANNER, THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN WILL BE REPRODUCED IN THE PRINT STATEMENTS. ╘HE LAST CHARACTER MUST BE DELETED AND THE PROPER ╨╧╦┼S USED. ╫HEN THE EDITOR IS ACCESSED, A HELP SCREEN IS DISPLAYED. ╞UNCTION KEY 7 (F7) TOGGLES BETWEEN THE HELP SCREEN AND THE SCREEN YOU ARE CREATING. ┴LL OTHER COMMANDS MUST BE EXECUTED FROM THE WORK SCREEN.
╘HE F2 KEY WILL COMPILE A ┬┴╙╔├ PROGRAM THAT REPLACES ANY RESIDENT ┬┴╙╔├ PROGRAM ALREADY IN MEMORY. ╘HE UTILITY IS ALSO EXITED WHEN THIS OPTION IS SELECTED. ╘HE F1 AND F3 KEYS WILL CHANGE BORDER AND BACKGROUND COLORS RESPECTIVELY. ╔N ADDITION, THE NORMAL ╙UPER ┴IDE COLOR CHANGE ROUTINES WILL ALSO WORK.
╘EXT COLOR CAN BE CHANGED BY ├╘╥╠/├╧══╧─╧╥┼ KEY PRESSES FOLLOWED BY A COLOR KEY OR BY USING THE REGULAR ╙UPER ┴IDE COLOR CHANGE ROUTINE. ╨RESSING F8 WILL EXIT TO THE ┬┴╙╔├ MODE WITHOUT CREATING THE NEW ┬┴╙╔├ PROGRAM. ╘HE SCREEN YOU ARE WORKING ON WILL BE LOST.
╘HIS VERSION OF THE SCREEN EDITOR WILL WORK ONLY WITH ╙UPER ┴IDE. ╘HE ORIGINAL PROGRAM APPEARS ON ╘╨╒╟ DISK #507. ╘HIS EDITOR IS A ╓┼╥┘ USEFUL TOOL IN CREATING COMPLICATED SCREENS EASILY. ┴LL LO-RES SCREENS IN ╙UPER ┴IDE WERE CREATED USING THIS EDITOR.
