Features in DME
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, the features mentioned her are actually features of the menu set
up (ie the contents of sys:s/.edrc).  These  have  been  designed  for
maximum utility, making  DME  much  more  'user-friendly'  (aargh!   I
hate that expression).

    Save:   This doesn't just save the file to the original name,  but
	    also makes a backup copy of the working file, to RAM: with
	    a name of dme.wrk.	Just in case!!	You may want to change
	    this to somewhere on a disk ... it's a bit easier to
	    recover from a disk!

    SaveAs: As "save" a backup is made - to the same location (ie dme.wrk)

    Undo:
	 The "Cut" and "Delete Line" options actually  move  the  text
	 cut to a temporary file in the  RAMt:	drawer	(t:  is  often
	 assigned to RAM:t in the  startup-sequence)  called  dme.tmp.
	 Undo copies the contents of this temporary file back  to  the
	 text  at  the cursor position.

    Character Colours:
	   These options, along with the bold, italic and underline
	   options do not appear on the screen as actual colours etc,
	   but the relevant escape codes are automatically entered on
	   the screen so that the file, when viewed with "type" or
	   "ppmore" will display the required characteristics.  It is
	   possible to set the screen font for DME, but this is ONLY
	   for the screen and not for the file itself.

    Print:
	 This option actually saves the current file to a temporary
	 location (this time RAM:t/dme.prn) and uses PPtype to print
	 this temporary file.  The temporary file is then deleted.
