*** Text EDIT v2.30 ***

ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE
Text Edit (EDIT) is a full-featured, brute-force, full
screen, text editing system based on the Wordstar (tm) and
the Borland Editor command set. Its code has been optimized
to occupy approximately 26K bytes of disk space and
incorporates many features found in many high-powered word
processing systems such as Wordstar (tm).
YOUR DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS
This software is protected by the United States copyright
laws and may not be distributed in an educational
institution or as an independent research or academic
project without the consent of the author. It may not be
sold, distributed or marketed with any other product or
service without the consent of the author. This software may
only be duplicated for personal, non-commercial use and may
not be may not be modified or customized in any way, shape
or form without the consent of the author.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
EDIT will run on any IBM XT, AT, PS/2, /386 or 100%
compatible equipped with either a monochrome or color video
card and adjust the display accordingly.
STARTING UP
Located on your distribution disk (or zip-file) is a file
called EDIT.EXE, which is the complete, fully functional
text editing system. You are limited to a text editing
buffer of approximately 64K bytes.
EDIT is not a word processor nor a high-powered text editing
system.
EDIT was originally developed as an in-house editing tool to
modify autoexec.bat and config.sys files.
To begin, type EDIT followed by an optional search strings
you may wish to display. For example, 'EDIT *.DOC' will
display all the files matching *.DOC. EDIT without any
search strings will display all the files in the current
directory (except hidden or system). This is equivalent to
typing 'EDIT *.*'.
If you need further assistance at the DOS command line, type
'EDIT ?'. You may also rename EDIT. It will automatically
alter the appropriate help displays.
SELECTING A FILE
Selecting a file from the directory listing can either be
done by pressing the first letter of the filename or by
using the arrow keys. The HOME/END and the PgUp/PgDn keys
are also valid in this mode. Press Enter to view or edit the
highlighted file.
COMMANDS AND MORE INFORMATION
