2.0 Technical Editor 2
E1. INTRODUCTIONF
T-edit (Technical Editor) is a general purpose source code
editor. It provides a fast multi-window/file editing
environment for programmers.
T-edit uses a unique combination of editing windows and
screens. An editing session can be broken up into multiple
screens, and in turn each screen may be broken up into
multiple windows (16 per screen).
The Technical Editor was designed with enough features to
make most editing chores non-laborious.
The most noted features:
Auto indenting
Auto word search (searches for word under cursor)
Binary and read only editing modes
Bookmarks (up to 5)
DOS environment
Extended PC ASCII character set
File Pick List
File based key-map configurations
Interactive editor configuration
Keyboard macros
Keyboard re-definition
Line and rectangular block marking
UNDO any changes made to a file during an editing session
Multiple screens and windows
Regular expression search and replace
Selection box for file loading (moves through directories)
Virtual Memory (edit files larger than available memory)
E2. INSTALLATIONF
Copy files t.exe and t.hlp into a directory that is included
in your DOS "PATH".
E3. BRINGING UP T-EDITF
Usage: t [-rbp] file1.ext file2.ext ... filen.ext
T-edit allows any number of files to be entered at the
command line, and gives each one it's own full screen
window. Wild card characters * and ? are supported.
T-edit has three command line options:
[-b] This causes all subsequent files to be read in as
BINARY. In this mode, lines are fixed in length
(length specified in the configuration menu) and
characters can only be changed. T-edit will allow
nothing to be added or deleted, just overwritten.
[-r] This causes all subsequent files to be read in as
READ-ONLY. In this mode, no changing is allowed.
Onlymovement, searching, and window changing is
allowed.

2.0 Technical Editor 3
[-p] Brings up the file selection list using second
command line argument as the search pattern.
Examples:
t test.c
t prog.prg *.
t tool????.* header.h -r sysgen.sys
t t??*.tx? -b prog.exe prog.obj
t -p *.txt
E4. MOVING AROUNDF
All standard keypad functions are supported (Up, Down,
Right, Left, PgUp, PgDn).
Home moves the cursor to the beginning of the
line.
End moves the cursor to the end of the line.
Ctrl-Home places cursor at the top of the current
window in the same column.
Ctrl-End places cursor at the bottom of the current
window in the same column.
Ctrl-PgUp Moves the cursor to the beginning of the
file.
Ctrl-PgDn Moves the cursor to the end of the file.
AlT-G prompts the user for a line number to go-to.
Bookmarks are supported, and as many as five may be placed.
Alt-[1...5] inserts a bookmark at the current location.
Alt-J+[1...5] moves the cursor to the specified bookmark
location.
E5. DELETINGF
Backspace Deletes the character to the left of the
cursor. If cursor is in column 0 and the
current line is not the first line in the
file, the beginning of the current line is
placed at the end of the previous line.
DEL Deletes the character at the cursor. If the
cursor is past the last character in the
line, the beginning of the line below will be
added to the current line at current cursor
position.
Alt-D Deletes the current line. All lines below
move up one line. Each line deleted is saved
in a UNDO buffer in stack order (LIFO).
Alt-K Truncates the current line at the cursor
position. This has no effect if the cursor is
past the physical end of line.

E6. UNDOF
CTRL-U will "undo" the last physical change made to the
current file. Tech-Edit keeps track of the last 1000
modifications made to any file. Search and Replace is
currently not included in UNDO. Each UNDO command will take
you to the last place a modification took place and "undo"
that modification; leaving the cursor at the position where
the undo took place.
E7. FILE OPERATIONSF
Alt-F+N Reads a new file into the next screen.
Alt-F+P Reads a new file into the previous screen.
Alt-F+H Splits the current screen in half
horizontally and reads a new file into the
window below.
Alt-F+V Splits the current screen in half vertically
and reads a new file into the window to the
right.
Alt-F+S Prompts the user for a file name (defaulting
to the file name entered when loaded).
Saves the file if ENTER is pressed; aborts
if ESC is pressed. Resumes in edit mode, and
the file status is changed to "Sv".
Alt-F+I Prompts the user for a file name, and checks
to see if the file exists. If the file
exists, it is inserted before the current
line.
E8. BLOCKINGF
T-edit supports line oriented and rectangular oriented
blocking operations.
Alt-L Marking lines. After invoking the line block
command, the current line will be either the
top or the bottom of the block depending on
whether or not you move up or down in the
window. All lines highlighted will be
considered in the block. You can move around
with any of the movement commands and also
use the search commands. After covering the
