  INSTRUCTIONS for RainEdit 1.3 | RED.COM |    This file: RED.DOC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     RainEdit 1.3 was written by David Nye (c) 1991.
     The Help Screen was corrected by W.R.Janzen 1997.
     To get a hard copy of the Help Screen:
     while in RainEdit, press keys F1 then PrintScrn.
This DOC file was also written by WRJ, Port Alberni BC, 1997jan18.

RED.COM is a simple small (6886 bytes) Text Editor but it does word
wrap. So one can set left and right margins. It is handy for writing
messages to upload to BBSs, the Internet, and Fax Modems.

MARGINS: They appear as black narrow blocks in the top Status Line.
Move cursor to position and press an Fkey twice to reset a margin:
     F4 for Left,   F3 for Right.       Yes F4 for L.

KEYS: Many of the Command Keys are the same as WordStar Keys.
So few (hard to remember) F keys are used. This also makes RainEdit
easy to use on an IBM PCjunior keyboard. Press F1 to see them.

PRINTING: There is no print command. To get a print-out you must
save the document then use DOS to copy the file to a printer. If you
do not wish to exit RainEdit, do the following:  PRESS Alt+S
PRESS Shift+F7  TYPE copy filename prn <Enter>  TYPE  exit <Enter>
You can also use the DOS print command instead of copy.

FILES: You must supply a filename when you start RED, and you cannot
change it when you save it. If you wish to load an existing file,
first use DOS dir to list them, then type:  red filename.
   If you load a file then edit and save it, the old version will be
kept with its suffix changed to BAK.
   If you wish to Import a File (Shift+F5) and cannot remember its
name, first Shell to DOS (Shift+F7), use the  dir  command to find it,
Type "exit", and continue.
   If you wish to edit a file and save it with a new name, Start RED
giving it "newfilename" then Import the old text file.

EXIT/SAVE: To save your file and exit RainEdit press Alt+X or Esc or
F10. If you wish to exit without saving, press Alt+K then Alt+X. The
status line shows a C to the right of the insert indicator (I/O) when
you are writing (Changing) a file. Alt+K turns C off (kills save).

WORD PROCESSING: The word wrap feature makes RainEdit a simple Word
Processor. You can even Insert (Alt+=) printer control characters.
   For example to start Emphasized print in Epson compatibles:
press  Alt+=  then  Esc  then  Shift+E. To turn this off press
Alt+=  Esc  Shift+F.     Be careful, Esc alone exits RainEdit.
RainEdit will count these characters as part of the line and also will
not compensate if you change the width of characters printed. So if
you turn on wide print, you must cut the line length - press Enter.
   If you have a printer like the Panasonic KX-P1080 Roland PR-1011
twins, you can use their built in Word Processing Commands. For
example: characters  Esc a 1  turn On "Auto Centering". The printer
assumes an 8 inch line length unless you tell it otherwise.
