The DOS versions of the sedit editor are e32 and e16. e32 has been compiled
with a DOS extender and has built in virtual memory capability which should
allow it to edit files larger than physical memory. e16 is an ordinary DOS
version and is thus limited to using conventional memory. Both of these do
not run in graphics mode and hence do not have menus and scroll bars as are
found in the OS/2 version. The keystroke commands are, however, equivalent.
There is also no mouse support in these versions. Both of these require that
an environment variable be set in the autoexec so that the editor can find
the associated .cfg, .hlp and .map files. This should be of the form:
EDITORPATH=c:\sedit\ or whatever is appropriate for your directory structure.
The above is correct for the editor installed in a sub-directory of the c:
drive called sedit. Note that the trailing '\' is required. Configuration
changes to DOS editors are achieved by editing the editor.cfg file and reloading
it by typing "cfg" on the command line. Thus "cfg" will need to be typed twice.
Once to load the current configuration so that changes can be made and saved and
then again in order to reload the configuration and activate the changes.
