TED 3.0 USER'S GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
TED is a compact, full screen ASCII text editor for IBM compatibles. It
is intended for creating small (<64K byte) DOS text files, such as files
containing batch commands, source code, or printer escape sequences.
TED's features include:
- Fast, full screen text editing with extensive cursor control.
- Simple to use. Provides on-line help and shift-sensitive function
key menus. Supports both function keys and WordStar commands.
- Support for monochrome or color display adapters (in character mode)
and screen sizes greater than 80x25.
- Copying, deleting, or moving lines or blocks of texts.
- Search and replace commands.
- Undo capability.
- Entry and display of all ctrl codes and full IBM character set.
- Retrieving text from or writing blocks of text to other files.
- Temporary return to DOS.
- Small program file size (approximately 12K bytes).
System Requirements: TED runs on IBM-compatible machines (PC,XT,AT)
under DOS 2.0 or later. It operates in text mode with MDA, Hercules,
CGA, EGA, or VGA display adapters. It requires at least one disk drive
(floppy or hard) and 150K bytes of free RAM.
Limitations: TED is not intended for editing large files or for
sophisticated wordprocessing. File and buffer sizes are limited to 64K
bytes. Line length is limited to 256 characters. Tabs are fixed at
8 column intervals. TED does not support word wrap.
USAGE
To start TED:
TED
TED FILENAME.EXT
To exit TED (saving changes) or quit (without saving changes):
Press F7 (EXIT) or F3 (QUIT/ABORT).
Function key commands (F1-F10, Shift + F1-F10, Ctrl + F1-F10) are shown on
the menu at bottom of the screen. The menu changes depending on whether
the shift or ctrl key is depressed. Most WordStar non-document (N) mode
control-key commands are supported as alternatives to the function keys.
Help is available with the F1 key. When you exit TED and save the file
being edited (F7), TED will prompt for the file name (or confirmation) if
the file has been modified. File and buffer sizes are limited to 64K bytes.

commands.
