- you can be reached, someone will usually return your call either
- later that day or the next. Email support is also available.

- to speed the processing of your letter please label the outside
- of the envelope with ATTN: WED Tech Support and include any phone
- or fax numbers that may be important.
-
- 6. Last Minute Changes or Corrections
- The eXecute and Dos functions have recently been enhanced to
- automatically support swapping to XMS or EMS memory if available.
- If not available WED will still swap to disk. WED requires about
- 200K of space to swap out. WED now leaves only 768 bytes in DOS
- memory when swapped out.
-
- WED can edit files that are larger than memory. To do this WED
- must have some additional disk space. The disk that WED creates
- its temporary file on must have enough free space available for
- WED to copy the file being edited. WED defaults to using the
- current disk for its temporary file. This can be changed by
- selecting the SWAP FILE item from the setup menu and entering the
- new drive and directory for the temporary file.
-
- WARNING: WED may not be able to gracefully recover when an error
- occurs while writing to the temporary swap file. This is rare and
- normally only happens when there is insufficient disk space for
- the swap file. We expect to have this problem solved for the next
- release.
-
- The APPEND command seems to have problems appending files with
- multiple terminating control-Z characters. If a file that you
- want to append has this problem, it can be appended by using the
- following procedure:
-
- Using OTHER <ALT-O> from the edit menu to open the file that you
- want to append. Return to the first window then using the BRIDGE
- <ALT-B> option bridge from TOP to BOTTOM. Now return to the OTHER
- window and QUIT and ABANDON.
-
-
-
- WED's function keys default to the following settings.
-
- F-Key Setting Action
- ------ ------- ------------
- F1 <Alt-G>T Go to top of file.
- F2 <Alt-G>B Go to bottom of file.
- F3 <Alt-E><End><Alt-E> Erase to end of line.
- F4 <Home><Alt-E><End><Alt-E> Erase the current line.
- F5 <Alt-P>1 Set pointer 1
- F6 <Alt-P>2 Set pointer 2
- F7 <Alt-C>12 Copies text between P1 & P2.
- F8 <Alt-M>12 Moves text between P1 & P2.
- F9 Not Programmed.
- F10 <Alt-Q>K Quit WED and Keep changes.
-
- These may all be changed with Setup Macro Keys. None of the other
- function keys have been programmed.
