│ Quick-Start Instructions: │
■─────────────────────────────────────────■
If you are in a hurry to get EDIT'R up and running, follow these Quick-Start
instructions:
1. Run the Install program by logging to the correct drive and directory, and
type "INSTALL".
2. If you installed EDIT'R to a directory other than C:\EDITR, edit your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file and add the following statement:
SET EDITR=DRIVE:\PATH (Replace with your drive and path.)
3. Reboot your machine to ensure that the new changes to your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file have taken effect.
5. Execute EDIT'R from the \EDITR sub-directory (or wherever you installed
EDIT'R) by typing "EDITR".

and 5 1/4" diskettes, along with a Registration Name and Number allowing you

■─────────────────────────────────────────■
│ Installing EDIT'R │
■─────────────────────────────────────────■
Log to the drive where you are installing EDIT'R from, and type "INSTALL".
The EDIT'R installation program will ask you where you are installing EDIT'R
from (usually, the current directory), and the location where the program
files should be stored. (The default destination directory is C:\EDITR.)
EDIT'R can be installed on any drive in your system, including network drives.
Important! Be sure to include a SET EDITR=N:\EDITR statement (or wherever
you put EDIT'R), in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If this environment
variable is not found, EDIT'R defaults to using the C:\EDITR sub-
directory.
■─────────────────────────────────────────■

■─────────────────────────────────────────■
From the Settings Menu, users can have access to the registration and default
settings for EDIT'R. These settings are contained in a file called EDITR.INI.
Selecting Register from the Settings Menu will allow users to enter a
Registration Name and Number that will register their copy of EDIT'R.
Selecting Defaults from the Settings Menu will allow registered users to
customize their EDIT'R program defaults. At this time, the only option
available is the editor startup size. The editor startup size can be set to
Minimized, Normal, or Maximized. Each document opened will come up in the
default size, depending on how this option is set.
■─────────────────────────────────────────■
│ The Help Menu │
■─────────────────────────────────────────■
The "Help" menu provides users with access to version number and copyright
information about EDIT'R, Registration Information, and Help. Help provides
basic information on the concepts behind EDIT'R, and what it is designed to
do.
