Do exactly what you did to get here! (Press MAGENTA{{HELP}}}## key)
%[1]
%[3]
DKWHITEWHITEPRODUCT INFO##
This key shows information about editor, conditions and me.
%[3]
%[11]
DKWHITE WHITEPASTE TO CLIPBOARD##
This key will allow the user to copy the selected text to the clipboard. The
user may later insert the text into the document. The default key for this
is the MAGENTAINSERT## key, but it may be mapped to a different key. Deleting marked
text will also save what was marked to the clipboard.
%[11]
%[30]
DKWHITE WHITEVIEW FILE WITH ANOTHER EDITOR##
This key will allow the user to view the file using the editor defined in
hex.cfg.
%[30]
%[31]
DKWHITE WHITECONVERTER##
This feature is nice for quickly finding the value of a number in another
base. Simply select a base using the arrow keys and enter a valid number.
After you hit Enter, the corresponding values will appear for the other
bases.
%[31]
%[32]
DKWHITE WHITECOUNT OCCURENCES##
This key will allow the user to count the number of occurences of a pattern
starting from the current position. The cursor does not move.
%[32]
%[34]
DKWHITE WHITEEDIT NEW FILE##
This key will allow the user to start editing a new file. If changes have
not been saved, a warning box appears.
%[34]
%[36]
DKWHITE WHITEGOTO OFFSET##
This key will allow the user to move the cursor to the offset specified.
%[36]
%[38]
DKWHITE WHITETOGGLE INSERT MODE##
This key will allow the user to switch between overwrite and insert mode.
The current status is shown at right of the screen. The word WHITEINSERT## will
appear if insert mode is on.
%[38]
%[49]
DKWHITE WHITEVIEW AS TEXT FILE##
This key will allow the user to view the portion that is curretnly being
viewed to be seen in normal text file. This is almost the same as {{ALTERNATE EDITOR}}
except that this viewer is built in and thus takes ALOT less memory. It is
VERY quick too!
%[49]
%[54]
DKWHITE WHITEDOS SHELL##
This key will allow the user to enter a dos shell. Type EXIT to return to
this beautiful editor.
%[54]
%[10]
DKWHITE
WHITESAVE SELECTION##
This key will allow the user to save WHITEONLY## the text that is selected, and
delete the rest! Be careful with this one.
%[10]
%[9]
DKWHITE
WHITEPRINT TO FILE##
This key will allow the user to print entire file to a file using the format
that is used on the screen.
%[9]
%[2]
DKWHITE WHITESTART SELECT
##
This key allows the user to choose where a selection is to begin. One may
also use the mouse to do this. Pressing the left button and dragging the
mouse will select text. Once the mouse button is released, the user may save
or delete it. To unselect the text, one may press DKESC##, or use the mouse
and click anywhere in the work area.
%[2]
%[5]
DKWHITE
WHITESEARCH
##
This key allows you to search for a HEX value or a word. If the cursor is
currently on the Hex side (MAGENTAHex Mode## will appear at right of screen), then
the search is done using hexadecimal digits. If the cursor is on the Char
side (MAGENTAChar Mode##), a normal word is searched.
The DKGREENSEARCH AGAIN## key may be pressed to search for the next occurence. One
may wish to count the number of times a certain pattern occurs. The
DKGREENCOUNT_OCCURENCES ## key enables this to be done. A pattern to be searched is
entered and the Search Counter will reveal the number of times it occurs
AFTER and including the current position.
%[5]

DKWHITE
WHITECHANGE COLORS
##
This key allows you to change the colors of the screen. The arrow keys are
used to pick different colors.
DKGREEN<TAB>## Toggles between different areas (cursor, offsets..)##
DKGREENF4## Set screen to default colors
DKGREENF10## Exit, saving changes made
DKGREEN<ESC>## Exit, without saving changes
DKGREEN<SPACE>## or DKGREEN<Middle Mouse Button>## Toggles BLINKFlash## mode
DKGREEN<ARROWS>## or DKGREEN<Left, Right Buttons>## Toggle through different colors
%[6]
%[7]
DKWHITE
WHITELOCKED TOTAL
##
This key does some special things. If it is in the WHITELOCKED## mode (by default)
you may not delete the last byte. This prevents inadvertent erasing when
deleting multiple characters at the end of a file. If you are not sure what
I am talking about, try deleting the last bunch of characters from each
mode. When in WHITEFREE## mode, new characters are created when you cursor down
or page down. As soon as you have created the space you need, it is
recommended that you swithc back to locked mode. Trust me.
%[7]
%[8]
DKWHITE
WHITELINES PER PAGE
##
This key will allow the user to choose the number of lines that are
displayed on the screen. This is a fairly useless 'feature'. It may be
useful if the program does not detect the number of of lines you are
currently using.
%[8]
%[45]
DKWHITE
WHITEGOTO PAGE
##
This key will allow the user to switch to the page number specified. A page
is not defined by where the cursor is. The page number changes as soon as
the previous page is not longer showing.
%[45]
%[52]
DKWHITE
WHITESAVE##
This key will allow the user to save the document currently being worked on.
It is assumed that you are renaming the file rather than overwriting it, due
to the fact that editing binary editing binary files is often dangerous.
%[52]
%[53]
DKWHITE
WHITEEXIT
##
The DKGREENEXIT## key will allow the user to exit the program. If changes have been
made, you are asked if you are sure you want to exit to exit without saving.
%[53]
%[42]
DKWHITE
WHITEMAPPING
##
The DKCYANALT M## key will allow to map keys to other keys.
DKCYAN{{CHANGE CONFIG}}## Change configuration options
DKCYAN{{SAVE CONFIG}}## Save desktop settings. (Colors, mappings..)
Currently, keys cannot be mapped in file selection mode

WHITEAUTO DELETE
##
The file selection mode will allow the user to delete files by
selecting a file a file and either clicking on the RED<Delete>##
or by hitting the delete key. If the WHITEAUTO DELETE## is set to
yes, you will not be asked if you are sure. This is handy if you
are deleting a whole bunch of files.
%[57]
%[58]
DKWHITE
WHITEBIG FILE
##
When you load a file, a temporary file is created so that your
changes are not saved directly to the original file. This also
allows Hex to the disk swapping it needs in order to be able to
edit files of any size. If you are loading a very large file,you
may not always want to create a temp file (may take a while).
The WHITEBIG FILE## option says how many bytes is considered to be a
big file. If the file being loaded is bigger than this, the user
will be asked if they want to see the file in read-only mode
only. Using the read-only mode will not create a tempfile, and
thus it is extremely fast!
%[58]
%[59]
DKWHITE
WHITEEDITOR
##
The WHITEEDITOR## option lets you specify the name of another
editor which you can use to look at the current file. This is
useful when looking at textual parts of the file. The built in
text viewer function will allow very quick viewing although it
is very basic purely for viewing.
%[59]
%[60]
DKWHITE
WHITELINES
##
This variables tells Hex how many lines you would like to use.
If you are working in 25 line mode, this should be set to 25. If
this setting is set to AUTO, Hex will use whatever mode was
being used before entering Hex.
%[60]
%[61]
DKWHITE
WHITEMEMORY
##
Hex uses disk swapping in order to edit files of any size.
Normally, an editor will grab a bunch of memory and if you have
a file bigger than this amount, you cannot edit it. The WHITEMEMORY##
setting allows you to specify the amount of memory you would
like to use before needing to go to the disk. A tenth of this
amount is used as an overflow buffer, so if you use 50000 as
your WHITEMEMORY## setting, Hex will not need to go to the disk
until you surpass the 45000 byte mark. So the lower the value
is, the more Hex needs to go disk, but inserting and deleting
will be quicker. So, you can choose! Usually, around 40000 or
50000 is good. I am planning to eventually rewrite the disk
swapping algorithm so that it will be quick no matter what you
choose.
%[61]
%[62]
DKWHITE
WHITEOVERWRITE
##
When the WHITEOVERWRITE## is set to 'Y', text will be overwritten. When
it is set to 'N', text is inserted instead.
%[62]
%[63]
DKWHITE
WHITEPAUSE TIME
##
This decides the length in time, in 1/1000ths of a seconds that
the little informative boxes stay up. These boxes are a little
silly. The originaly intent was to let the user know what he had
done by coming out and telling them. They are probably more
annoying than anything though.
%[63]
%[64]
DKWHITE
WHITESCRTIME
##
This is the length of time in seconds before the screen saver
will kick in. If there is no activity from mouse or keyboard for
this length of time, it will start up. Hitting a key,clicking or
moving the mouse will return back to Hex. The default is three
hundred (5 minutes).
%[64]
%[65]
DKWHITE
WHITETEMP
##
This is the directory in which temp files should be written. If
you use a RAMdrive, this speeds up things big time when using
larger (you will need enough space to hold the file's length).
If TEMP=AUTO, then the TEMP environment variable is always used
instead. This means that it will never need to 'hard code' it
in the hex.cfg file
