 ANSIED is a full-screen editor that lets you enter and edit messages on the
 BBS.  To use ANSIED, just type in your text.  The words will wrap
 automatically, just like in the normal RBBS line editor.  If you make a
 mistake, you can backspace over it, also just like in the normal line editor.

 When you are done entering the message, press ESCape twice.  This will bring
 up a menu of things you can do.  To save or abort the message, select END by
 hitting the 'E' key.

 To move the cursor around on the screen, try the arrow keys on your keyboard.
 If they don't work, use the Wordstar (tm) "diamond" key combinations to
 replace the cursor keypad.  They look like this (^ = Ctrl):

                                      ^E
                                       ^
                               ^A  ^S < > ^D  ^F
                                       v
                                      ^X

 1. If you've "quoted" lines of another person's message, and want to delete
    some of the extra quoted lines, use the main menu command B)lock delete,
    explained below.

 2. If your screen is garbled due to line noise, use the main menu P)aint
    command, which will repaint your screen.

 3. You can't change the text on lines below the "[* End of Message *]"
    marker, or on certain RBBS system lines at the beginning of your message.
    To enter text, just move off of those lines.

 4. If you make a lot of changes to the message, and it looks "choppy," use
    the main menu command R)eflow, which will clean up the messages'
    appearance.

 5. You can't enter extended ASCII characters into a message.

 6. You shouldn't "upload" messages into ANSIED.

 Help         What you are reading now.  CTRL-X or CTRL-K quits.

 End          Quits the message.  You can save or abort the message,  or you
              can continue entering the text (in case you hit this by
              accident).

 Block Del    Deletes a block of lines.  Move the cursor to the top of the
              block you want to delete, bring up the main menu (ESC twice) and
              select 'B.'  Then move the cursor to the end of the block and
              hit RETURN. This will remove all lines within the block.  ESC at
              any time aborts the block delete.

 Justify      Right justifies the entire message to the left and right
              margins. Justification will add "soft spaces" on the screen
              (which look like 'ú').  These will become "real" spaces in the
              message when you save it.

 Reflow       Reflows the text in the message to remove the choppiness of
              lines. Reflow won't bother paragraph starts or quoted text.

 Ins/Ovw      Toggles INSert/OVerWrite mode on the editor.  In INSert mode,
              text inserted  in the middle of a line will move the rest of the
              line to the right.  In OVerWrite mode, text entered replaces
              that at the current cursor position. Words will wrap either way.

 Paint        Repaints  the current  screen.   This shows you  exactly what is
              in your message.  Use this when line noise garbles your display.
