*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.

*Make Your Own Help File

                       * CREATE A CUSTOM HELP FILE *

  You can edit a copy of this Help file, and create one more to your liking
  if you wish.

  You can add help screens, reminders to you on how to accomplish what you
  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
  file, to help you design your own. SAVE A COPY OF THIS!

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

  An asterisk (*) specifies a menu entry
  A number sign (#) specifies the end of the help page.
