For commercial applications of NewEdit, contact the author for

CONTENTS
This package should contain:
NewEdit - The main program.
NewEdit.info - The main programs icon.
NewEdit.doc - The document you are reading now.
USAGE
The following key commands are standard functions provided by OS 2.0:
CURSOR LEFT cursor to previous character
SHIFT CURSOR LEFT cursor to start of line
CURSOR RIGHT cursor to next character
SHIFT CURSOR RIGHT cursor to end of line
DEL delete the character under the cursor
SHIFT DEL delete from the character under the cursor to EOL
BACKSPACE delete the character to the left of the cursor
SHIFT BACKSPACE delete from the character to the left of the cursor
to the start of the line
RETURN or ENTER terminate input and deactivate the gadget
RAMIGA Q restore gadgets contents before alteration
RAMIGA X clear the string gadget
The following key commands are provided by NewEdit 1.9:
ALT CURSOR RIGHT next word
ALT CURSOR LEFT previous word
ALT BACKSPACE delete previous word
ALT DEL delete next word
RALT CURSOR UP go to prev gadget (accepting contents)
RALT CURSOR DOWN go to next gadget (accepting contents)
ESC leave gadget (accepting contents)
RALT C or RAMIGA C copy gadget contents to clipboard
RALT V or RAMIGA V paste contents of clipboard to gadget
RALT I or RAMIGA I increments a numbered filename by one
RALT RSHIFT I or
RAMIGA RSHIFT I decrements a numbered filename by one
RALT G or RAMIGA G toggle the case of indicated character
SHIFT RALT G or
SHIFT RAMIGA G toggle the case of characters until EOL or
non alphabetic character is found
RALT D or RAMIGA D Insert the current date
The reason for RALT as well as RAMIGA is that some applications eg ASL
file requester trap and use the RAMIGA key for other functions. By
using the RALT key you can still access the functions.
The following parameters can be set either as tooltypes or via command
line switches when running NewEdit:
RALT - If you do not wish to have the RALT functions available (those
key commands that can use either RALT or RAMIGA, use this
parameter to disable the RALT keys. (Keys like RALT CURSOR LEFT
will still work).
CLIPUNIT - Sets the clipboard unit used to copy to and from.
COMPLIER
NewEdit was written and compiled using CED V3.5 and SAS/C 6.55 on
an Amiga 4000/040. It should perform equally well on a 68000.
Enforcer was used to detect and correct programming errors.
BUGS
The only thing I can find is that in the first string gadget activated
after NewEdit is installed, the cursor will jump to the right hand end
of the gadget. I don't know why this happens. This also happened in Uwes
original version. I don't process any events other than key events so I
can't see how a mouse click is causing this to happen.
Should you find any bugs, please report them so that they can be fixed.
Likewise any suggestions for improvment of should be forwarded so that
they can be addressed.
