- --= ABSTRACT ===============================================--
- -- ALED is designed to edit text files. Upon invocation, ALED
- -- prompts the user for a file name. If the file exists, its contents
- -- (lines) are read in and prepared for editing; if the file does not
- -- exist, the file is created and the empty buffer is prepared for
- -- editing. ALED is an interactive editor, accepting single-char
- -- commands, filling in a command prompt (for more info as needed), and
- -- performing its functions in real-time while the user watches. The
- -- functions provided include (but are not limited to) the following:
- --
- -- * List Lines
- -- * Insert a Group of Lines into the Edit Buffer
- -- * Delete Lines
- -- * String Search and String Substitution
- -- * Movement Within the Edit Buffer
- -- * Reading in a File After a Specified Line
- -- * Writing out a Range of Lines to a File
- -- * Built-in, online Documentation (Summary)
- --
- -- ALED's design includes an input line editor, which allows the
- -- user to edit text as he types it.
