- The WAMPUM Text File Editing System is completely menu-driven. Hence, as
- they say in the trade, this software is self-documenting.
-
- The syntax for invoking the editor is as follows: EDIT filename or EDIT.
- The file extension need not be specified. If no file name is specified,
- the editor will prompt for a file name. Pressing <RETURN> at the prompt
- will provide a directory listing of WAMPUM text files in the default directory.
-
- An initial form letter file MUST be created using WAMPUM. Once the file
- has been created, it can be edited with this editor which permits string
- searching as well as inserting records into the middle of an existing file.
-
- The string search function allows you to find the record numbers for records
- containing a particular string. The widcard * is supported. Thus, searching
- for THE would find the words "the" and "THE" but would not find "THEN". If
- you search for THE*, you would find "the" and "THE" plus "THEN" and "THERE".
-
- If you DELETE records, remember to run the FileFix option which PACKS the file
- and removes all records marked for deletion.
-
- When running the string search and list functions in display mode rather than
- print mode, you may ESCape back to the Main Menu from any screen pause.
-
- Yes, we still are accepting $20 donations for those using EDIT and liking it.
- In case you've forgotten, the mailing address is listed below. Your donation
- encourages the development of reasonably-priced software.
