INTRODUCTION:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this program is to provide for easy editing of
the USERS.BBS file, while still being very powerful. Extra
Utilities are added to make life easier for the sysop and
also to save disk space by deleting other programs that this
one may replace. I am, however, sorry that fastEDIT is so
large, (about 60k). The reason for this is simply because I
am a beginning Turbo Pascal programmer and don't fully know
how to set up real efficient procedures.
Well enough of that, lets get to the program!
fastEDIT - QuickBBS User Editor v1.00 Page 3
fastEDIT has 12 commands in the MAIN MENU and they are:
Plus Sign (+) - Pressing this key will display the next
user record. If you are at the last user
in the File then it will display the first
record.
Minus Sign (-) - Pressing this key will display the previous
user in the USERS file. If you are at the
first user in the file then it will display
the last record.
A - Will Add a record to the USERS file and then
it will go to that record for the proper
changes to be made.
C - Will go into a Edit mode for the changes to
be made. More on this later...
D - Marks the current record to be Deleted.
F - Will go to the first record in the USERS
file.
G - Goes to a specified record.
L - Will go to the last record in the USERS
file.
S - Will Search for the Specified User's Name.
It can be a search string, ie: entering 'I'
will display Rob KIttredge, BrIan Humphrey,
etc.
Q - Will quit fastEDIT.
U - Un-Deletes the current record. If the record
wasn't marked deleted, nothing will happen.
X - Extra Stuff-Search routines, etc.

The editor in the CHANGE USER MODE contains these commands:
Up Arrow - Goes to the Previous Record.
Down Arrow - Goes to the Next Record.
Left Arrow - Moves the cursor to the left while editing a field.
Right Arrow - Moves the cursor to the right while editing a field.
(CONTROL Left-Arrow) - Moves to the next field to the right.
(CONTROL Right-Arrow) - Moves to the next field to the left.
ESCAPE - Quits and DOES NOT SAVE the record.
END - Quits and SAVES the record.

The EXTRA STUFF menu contains the following commands,
most of which can be either directed to the screen or
to the printer:
A - Search by Area Code-Kinda self-explanatory.
R - Search by Ratio (Number of Downloads / Number of
Uploads.
S - Security level search. Search for users = to a
specified security level.
Q - Quit EXTRA STUFF and go back to the Main Menu.
U - User Listing.
