-
- --------------------------
-
- Useful things to know about JTEDIT
-
- Ending program:
-
- ^KD Quit
-
- Moving around:
-
- Arrows The Cursor arrow keys take you up and down 1 line.
- Pg keys Up and Down a page at a time.
- ^Pg Control PgUp to top of file, Control PgDn to bottom.
- End To end of line
- Home To start of line
- Ctrl-Arrow Skip over word at a time (forward or backward)
- Ins Toggle the Insert ON/OFF. When ON, the ENTER key
- inserts a line.
- Tab Will tab over to the next column, as defined by the
- line above. If no line above, the Tab key is inoperative.
-
- Interrupting an operation (like specifications of file names, etc):
-
- ^U User interrupt
-
- File Read/Write:
-
- ^KR Read a file from disk, insert at current location
- ^KW Write a block to disk
-
- Line Editing:
-
- ^QY Delete to End of Line
- ^T Delete to end of word and following spaces.
- This will also "glue" split lines by deleting the
- Newline character at the end of a line.
-
- Block Specification and operations:
-
- ^KB Begin block (Mark start of block of lines)
- ^KK End a block (it will be highlighted)
- ^KY Delete the block
- ^KV Move the block to cursor location
- ^KC Copy a block
-
- Search (& Replace):
-
- ^QF Find a block, it will ask you what to look for.
- ^QA Find and Alter (replace)
-
- Options G - Global
- B - Search backwards
- N - Don't ask for any confirmation
- W - Search for whole words. If you are looking for
- the word LET but don't want to have it find things
- like LETTER or OUTLET, you would search for LET
- and include the W option.
- U - Ignore case. It shifts everything (internally)
- to Upper case and then searches.
- n - Put some number in the options string, and it will
- do the command "n" times. E.g. GN5 will search
- globally (start at the top), not ask for any confir-
- mation, and do the operation 5 times.
-
- Note: During a Find and Replace operation, you can see it doing
- the steps (even though it's fast). If you want to speed
- it up even faster, hit any key, like the space bar. It
- will proceed without writing results to the screen.
- It is MUCH faster this way.
-
- Literal Next (Useful to insert Control Commands, like the Bell char):
-
- ^P The next thing you type will be entered as you type it.
- ^P followed by Control-G will insert a "G" in low video
- which means it's a control character.
-
- Simple usage:
-
- JTEDIT JTEDIT.DOC will edit this file
-
- Now that you've gotten this far, you can hit CONTROL-KD (see the
- status line below) to QUIT/SAVE. If you made no changes to this
- file, it will just exit. If you started this program using the
- HELP command (which is running help.bat) you will be taken to the
- PKTGOLD.DOC file, then exit from there to get to the README file.
-
- Good luck. 73, Jeff
