*Hints From The Author
When you load the editor from the program, and are prompted for a
Path\Filename, if you enter *.* (for current directory) or \PATH\*.*
the editor will load, and display a picklist of all available files in
the directory. *.* could also be *.TXT, *.DOC, *.MSG etc.
If you press F3 to load a new file, the default name shown, is the current
file name. Pressing any key blanks the field. If you enter * (one asterisk)
a list of the "default" files will be shown, (files expressly for the
program), entering *.* or *.filespec, will present a list of those type
files.
The above follows for "Reading in a Block/File".
#
*About The Editor
The RASIS Message Editor
The message editor, is actually a full featured text editor, with all
the editing features you need.
You can use the internal editor for ANY text file editing, subject to its
500 line limit. I use it during test runs of RASIS to update the
CHANGES file, and sometimes even the source code!
Thanks for using the RASIS message editor.

want. The important thing to remember, is there can be no more than
50 Menu Items in the menu.
There should be no more than 22-23 lines of help in any section.
The help text should not extend beyond column 76. Use the text in this

The file needs to be named SISED.HLP, and should be placed in a Dos PATH
directory.
