INTRODUCTION SEDIT v1.00 pg. -1-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to SEDIT (Smith-EDIT)! SEDIT is a text editor originally
designed to compose and edit messages while using an offline mail
reader such as SPEED READ. However, its use is not limited to just
offline mail. It provides all the features needed to create small to
medium size text documents.
Major features included are multi-file editing (up to 4 files), search
and replace, block commands (copy, move, etc.), printing, keyboard
macros, user-defined wordwrap, paragraph/quoted text reformatting and a
spelling checker with a 50,000 word dictionary.
SEDIT was designed with ease of use in mind. Most commands are
available via pull-down menus. An extensive, on-line,
context-sensitive, hyper-text, help system is always available by
pressing (F1). A lot of thought and time went into SEDIT, I hope you
find it as useful as I do.
Many new features are planned for future versions of SEDIT. However,
they can only be implemented with your support. The registered version
of SEDIT removes the beginning and ending screens.
The cost of SEDIT is $25 (US funds). Include $5 shipping and handling
for orders outside the United States. Add $5 if you require SEDIT on a
3-1/2" disk. A completed and signed order form MUST accompany each
order. The order form is found in the file ORDER.SE, or you can print
one by pressing (ALT-O) on the opening/closing screen.
Orders are processed as they are received. Generally, they are shipped
within 7 days. However, please allow 2-8 weeks for delivery from the
time your order is mailed.
A lot of thought and time went into the design of SEDIT. I think you
will find it both intuitive and easy to use.
FEATURES SEDIT v1.00 pg. -2-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEDIT was not designed as a "do all" or "be everything" editor. There
are plenty of other editors available for the "power-user". Instead
SEDIT was designed for small to medium sized editing tasks such as
replying to messages using an off-line mail reader, editing batch
files, writing quick memos, etc. SEDIT's emphasis is on ease of use
and user comfort. As such, SEDIT has the following limitations:
* 5,000 lines per file maximum. Additional lines are truncated.
* 1,024 column maximum. Additional columns are truncated.
* 4 concurrently opened files.
Major features include:
- Convenient pull-down menus.
- Most command key-strokes can be reconfigured.
- 10 user-defined keyboard macros.
- Option to swap out to XMS/EMS/DISK before running external programs.
- 5k delete/undelete buffer.
- Word wrap.
- Paragraph and quoted text reformatting.
- Support for editing up to four files simultaneously.
- Resizeable windows.
- Single key to toggle between vertical/horizontal split windows.
- Search and replace functions.
- Block functions: copy, delete, move, to clipboard, from clipboard.
- Print functions.
- Spelling checker with a 50,000 word dictionary.
- Option to spell-check as you type.
- Extensive, on-line, context-sensitive, hyper-text help system.
- Autoindent option.
- Strip trailing spaces option.
- User definable TAB size.
- DOS shell and DOS command option.
- Ability to change and save most settings within SEDIT.
- ...and much more.
DISTRIBUTION SEDIT v1.00 pg. -3-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEDIT is distributed as shareware. It is *NOT* public domain, freeware
or "free software". You may evaluate SEDIT for 30 days, after which
you must either register it or stop using it. Registration is required
for use in a business, government or institutional setting.
Unaltered copies of SEDIT's *original* shareware distribution archive
may be freely copied and shared with others as long as no fee is
charged to do so. It may be uploaded to local and national BBS's.
Anyone desiring to distribute SEDIT by charging a per disk fee (i.e.
disk vendors) must obtain written permission from the author, J.E.
Smith, before doing so.
SEDIT may be distributed via subscription BBS's as long as no inference
is made that the subscription in any way pays for the use or evaluation
of SEDIT.
QUICK START INSTALLATION SEDIT v1.00 pg. -4-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEDIT and its accompanying files should reside in the same directory.
Though it is not necessary, it is convenient if the directory is
included in the path statement. It is not necessary for SEDIT to be in
its own directory. For a list of directories included in the path type
PATH at a DOS prompt. If you have registered SEDIT, make sure your
CONFIG.SE file is in your SEDIT directory (the same directory where
SE.EXE is located). Start SEDIT by typing:
SE (ENTER)
Press any key to bypass the shareware screen (this is not present in
registered versions). Next you are shown a list of all files in the
current directory. You may edit the Filespec and press (ENTER) to
change the file list or press (TAB) to move the highlight bar to the
file list.
