- OpED: The Full-Screen Editor for Opus
-
- OPed uses a mixture of commands. Some will be familiar to WordStar
- users. Others are a kind of generic VT-100 (or ANSI) command set.

- OpED: Quoting replies
- ---------------------
-
- If your message is a reply, you can quote from the original message.
-
- You can look at four lines at a time and optionally copy those four
- lines into the message you are writing.
-
- You can page through the original but only in a forward direction.
- To go backwards in the original, you have to quit the Read-In mode
- and start it again.

- OpED: Technical notes
- ---------------------
-
- All VT-100 keys begin with "<esc>O" or "<esc>[". Opus treats the two
- as being the same key. That opening sequence is followed by one of
- the following characters...
-
- <F1> ... P <UP> ... A <HOME> ... H
- <F2> ... Q <DOWN> ... B <END> ... K
- <F3> ... R or w <RIGHT> ... C
- <F4> ... S or x <LEFT> ... D
-
- Please note that Opus does not currently use all these keys. They are
- given for reference purposes only.
-

- OpED: Notes
- -----------
-
- HINT: If your special keys (eg "<up>") don't work, make sure you
- are emulating ANSI or VT-100.
