- Documentation
-
- The editor provided with SCR is a small, versatile one that
- handles files up to about 62.5 K. It's a product of Borland's Turbo
- Pascal (R) Editor's ToolBox and has all of the typical WordStar
- commands available. SEdInst may be used to alter these commands as
- you wish. Default file extension is .SCR, so to edit a SCR file,
- simply type the first portion of the name.
-
- Command Line Switches.
-
- Several switches are available to change the defaults of SEd. They
- are:
-
- /M: Laptop Mode. Forces SEd to use the Monochrome colors.
- I use a laptop myself quite often and even though they've
- come a long way in the tone scale used for the LCD's, I
- still prefer to use this.
- /B: Do NOT make a backup copy of the original file. This
- would normally be done (but only if the original file had
- been changed). Note: all back up files are given the
- extent .BAK.
- /I: Autoinsert off. Default (strangely enough) is on. This
- will make SEd wake up with it off.
- /C: This will force the editor to wait for retrace. Use this
- only if you are having snow problems.
- /W: Word Wrap off. Default is on.
- /S#: Start at line #.
-
- Permanent Commands.
-
- F2: Exit with Save.
- Any changes made to the file will be kept.
-
- Cntl-F2: Exit without Save
- If you wish to retain the original file "as is", use this exit.
-
- F9: Toggle Word Wrap.
- This turns the word wrap on/off. Word wrap will only work if
- insert is also active.
-
- Cntl-F9: Change Word Wrap Column.
- Default column wrap is at column 78. If you wish to have SEd
- start wrap at some other column, you can change it here. Minimum
- wrap width is 20, and maximum wrap width is 80.
-
- F10: Menu
- Pop up a menu with options of Load, Save, SaveAs, Exit, and Shell.
-
-
- Installable Commands:
-
- For a complete list, see the file Cmds.Lst or if you've installed other
- commands, make a screen dump of the commands while running
- SEdIns.Exe. Some of the more important ones are listed below:
-
-
- Toggle "Smart" Tabs with "Fixed" Cntl-OT
- Toggle AutoIndent Cntl-OI
- Delete EOL: Cntl-QY
- Delete Line: Cntl-Y
- Begin Block: Cntl-KB
- End Block: Cntl-KK
- Copy Block: Cntl-KC
- Move Block: Cntl-KV
- Delete Block: Cntl-KY
- Hide Block: Cntl-KH
- Read Block (From File): Cntl-KR
- Write Block (To File): Cntl-KW
- Print Block Cntl-KP
- Restore Line (before moving off of it) Cntl-QL
- Find (Txt): Cntl-QF
- Find & Replace: Cntl-QA
- Repeat Find (& Replace): Cntl-L
-
- To join two lines, place the cursor at the beginning of the second line
- and press the Backspace key until the two lines are joined together.
-
- You have several options with the Find command: (ULnWB) where
-
- U: Ignore Case L: Limit search to current block
- B: Seek Backwards W: Whole words only
- n: Find occurrence "n".
- (n=some number)
-
-
- With the Replace, you have two additional commands: (GN)
-
- G: Search Globally : Replace without asking.
-
-
-
- Insert Control Character: (Cntl-P__)
-
- This will allow you to enter any ASCII control codes that you wish,
- though I don't think you'll want to very often. If you wished to have
- a bell inserted, use Cntl-PI.
-
- Alt-Numeric Key Pad Number: (Alt-Keypad#)
-
- A very useful command, in that you can enter any character you wish
- with this one. The character "▒" for example can be entered into a
- file by holding the Alt key down and, using the numeric keypad, typing
- the ASCII code for it: 177. If you wish to make a file that has a box,
- look up the code in the file ASCII.LST and use this option to form the
- ends and at least one character of the middle. Then using the copy
- block command, form the box that you wish.
-
- Jump to & Set Markers: (Cntl-Q0..3 & Cntl-K0..3)
-
- This is handy for moving around in a big file and keeping specific
- portions quickly at hand. Set each marker (you have 4) with the Cntl-
- K sequence, and return with the matching Cntl-Q sequence.
