·	User-oriented Edit
·	Changes to the Menus
·	New features.

User-oriented Edit 

When you run Edit for the first time, it starts out in ªuser modeº.  In this mode, Edit does not have much of the programming functionality found in the 2.0 Edit.  To get into ªprogrammer modeº, you need to change the appropriate item in Edit's Preferences panel, then restart Edit. 

Changes to the Menus 

The following changes were made to Edit's menus:

·	Save To... and Save All have been added to the Document menu (File menu in programmer mode)
User mode
·	Make ASCII/Make Rich Text command allows you to change a document between rich text format and ascii text. When you invoke this command, the document becomes an untitled document. This command is in the Text submenu, under the Format submenu.
·	The Colors... command will change the color of the selected text in a document. This command is in the Font submenu, under the Format submenu.
Programmer mode
·	The Print... command is now under the Windows submenu
·	The Black, Dark Gray, and Light Gray command no longer exist in the Font menu. To set the text gray or color, use the Color Panel.
·	Since the File and Edit submenus were getting quite large, many of these command have been moved to the Utilities submenu, or the Expert submenu under Utilities.

New features 

Object support
You can paste link-graphics from your favorite graphics applications that support Object links. Currently Draw is the only application that supports this linking.

Better rtfd support
You can drag images from the Workspace to Edit and create .rtfd format files. These files are now better supported by the Application Kit, and you can read any .rtfd file created by Edit in your application. You can also now copy/paste rtfd between Edit and Mail.

Support for Online-Help
In the Programmer mode, there 3 new commands in the Help submenu under Format. The Insert Link command inserts a file-reference link into your rtfd file, which when clicked on, will open that file. The Insert Marker adds a marker into the document, that can be referenced by a link. The Show Marker command makes all the markers in a document visible. 

Expansion Dictionary
The user interface for the expansion dictionary was completely overhauled. The escape key expansion now works correctly with European characters.

Color Panel
With the Color Panel, you can change the color or gray of the current selection with RTF text.

Preferences Panel
The user interface for the Preference panel has been improved. You can now specify separate rich text and ascii default fonts. Under Global Options, there is a document saving option called Save Files Writable, which if set, will change the protection of write-protected files to be writable by you.

Panel Memory
Most of the Edit-specific panels will remember where and the size that you last left them.
