Introduction
------------

This editor is in no way a professional effort. It is simply something
that suited my needs, and has proved useful, especially for programming
in a DOS/OS2/UNIX environment.

Features of interest are:

	- DOS and UNIX text file format support.
	- Word completion (invaluable once you get used to it).
	- Multiple edit buffers
	- Execute Shell commands with stdout to buffer (and stdin from
		selected text in buffer)
	- Indent/Unindent block of text
	- Pair matching (eg. finding correspong brace '{' ).
	- Split screen mode (vertical or horizontal).


If you find the key bindings annoying (which is likely with some people),
it is a relatively easy task to change them if you have the source code.

Special Tips
------------

Word completion:

	To complete a word that is already contained in the current text
	just type the first couple of letters (only enough to distinguish
	it from other words) and then press CTL+/ ; the completed word then
	gets inserted. If this is not the one you intended, just press
	CTL+/ again, until you've found it.

Shell commands:

	You can execute shell commands (F9) and have its output inserted
	at the current cursor position. If you select some text before you
	issue the command that text becomes the standard input to the
	command. Useful example, 'sort'.

Open Selected File:

	if you have a list of file names in a buffer, you can select one
	then press F5 and (if the file exists) it will be opened and put
	in a new buffer.

Pair matching:

	To find, for example, a matching brace, place the cursor just
	BEFORE the brace and hit CTL+[ or CTL+] (either will do the same
	thing). It will search forward or backwards depending on whether
	the next character is an opening character ( '(', '{', '[' or '<')
	or a closing character.
