-
- COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- To run EdWord from a Shell/CLI, use the following command line format where
- all text within {..} brackets are optional parameters, uppercase letters
- depict actual text which you type and lowercase letters represent a param-
- eter which you can supply (e.g. a filename or number).
-
-
- Usage : EdWord {filename} {-C configdir} {-NTSC} {-WB} {-LACE} {-VI}
- {-NODIR} {-MEM size} {-T title} {-F fontname} {-D} {-REQ}
- {-ZOOM} {-COLS number} {-H height} {-Y ycoord} {-L line}
- {-UL size} {-AREXX script} {-MOD text} {-RT} {-ASL} {-NOC}
- {-PUB pubscreenname} {-PCOFF} {-CDIR directory} {?}
-
- Where,
-
- -C = specifies a directory to search for the EdWord.config file
- (by default the current directory and ENV: will be searched)
- -WB = forces EdWord to use the WorkBench screen.
- -NTSC = forces EdWord into an NTSC screen mode on start up.
- -NODIR = file requester will initially list all mounted devices.
- -LACE = forces EdWord to use an interlaced screen.
- -MEM = specifies the memory buffer size in bytes (default=60000).
- -T = changes the program title (default EdWord V5.6).
- -F = uses the specified 8x8 point font (default topaz 80).
- -D = disables checks for viruses in RAM - best left on !
- -UL = specifies the size of the underscore cursor (1 or 2)
- -REQ = forces a file requester on start up.
- -ASL = makes EdWord use the asl.library file requester
- -RT = makes EdWord use the reqtools.library file requester
- -COLS = defines the number of colours for the screen (2,4 or 8)
- -AREXX = runs an ARexx script file on start up.
- -PCOFF = forces case dependant pattern matching for EdWord's file req.
- -CDIR = tells EdWord where to look for the EdCalc program
- -CDIR = specifies directory to search for the EdCalc program
- -NOC = do not load any configuration files (use defaults)
- -MOD = The text to append to an updated filename on title bar
- -H = the height of the initial window/screen (in pixels)
- -Y = the y-coordinate of the top edge of window (in pixels)
- -L = specifies a line no. to jump to after loading the initial file
- -ZOOM = forces editor window to zoom (if on WorkBench & under WB2.0)
- -VI = turns on emulation for the Unix editor VI :-)
- -DOSMSG = enables all AmigaDOS requesters (e.g. device not found alerts)
-
- e.g. EdWord -ASL -REQ -MOD "+" -T "My Editor"
-

- EDITOR KEYS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Cursor Left = Move left one character
- Cursor Right = Move right one character
- Cursor Up = Move up one line
- Cursor Down = Move down one line
-
- SHIFT + Cursor Left = Move to start of next word
- SHIFT + Cursor Right = Move to start of previous word
- SHIFT + Cursor Up = Move up one page
- SHIFT + Cursor Down = Move down one page
-
- ALT + Cursor Left = Move to start of current line
- ALT + Cursor Right = Move to end of current line
- ALT + Cursor Up = Move to the start of document
- ALT + Cursor Down = Move to the end of document
-
- CTRL + Cursor Left = Move to left most edge of screen
- CTRL + Cursor Right = Move to right most edge of screen
- CTRL + Cursor Up = Move to top of the screen
- CTRL + Cursor Down = Move to bottom of the screen
-
- (Note, all of these can be redefined via the Prefs/Keys facility)
-
-
- N.B. It is also possible to use the numeric keypad for cursor movement. You
- can use the NumL key on the keypad to switch the operation of the keypad
- between a cursor pad or a numeric pad. A flag will appear on the status bar
- when NumL is on (Obviously this facility is of no use to you if you have an
- A600 because they don't have a numeric keypad!). Whilst NumL is off, the
- keypad will perform as:
-
- Numeric 4 = Move left one character
- Numeric 6 = Move right one character
- Numeric 8 = Move up one line
- Numeric 2 = Move down one line
- Numeric 9 = Move up one page
- Numeric 3 = Move down one page
- Numeric 7 = Move to top of file
- Numeric 1 = Move to bottom of file
- Numeric 0 = Toggle Insert/Destroy mode
- Numeric . = Delete character under cursor
-
-
- CONTROL KEYS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- CTRL + T = Move to top of the file
- CTRL + B = Move to bottom of the file
- CTRL + G = Delete character (Del)
- CTRL + H = Delete character (Backspace)
- CTRL + I = Insert a tab character
- CTRL + Y = Delete current line
- CTRL + U = Undelete last deleted line
- CTRL + Q = Delete to end of line
- CTRL + V = Delete current word
- CTRL + M = Split current line at cursor
- CTRL + S = Move left one character
- CTRL + D = Move right one character
- CTRL + E = Move up one line
- CTRL + X = Move down one line
- CTRL + R = Move up one page
- CTRL + C = Move down one page
- CTRL + K = Erase specified block
- CTRL + L = Print current block
- CTRL + N = Repeat Text function
- CTRL + O = Delete a file from disk

-
-
- OTHER KEYS
- ~~~~~~~~~~
-
- SHIFT + DEL = Delete to end of line / Delete Word
- SHIFT + BACKSPACE = Delete to beginning of line
- SHIFT + TAB = un-indents a tab character (deletes tabs)
- ALT + ESC = Iconify EdWord to icon
-
-
-
- THE UNDO KEY
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The RightAmiga+U key is the EdWord Undo key. If you press this key then the
- current line will revert to its original state when you first moved onto
- it. This can be useful if make some kind of modification to a line which
- you decide not to keep. (N.B. in earlier versions of EdWord the HELP key was
- used for this purpose. The "HELP" key now displays the contents on-line Help
- page.)
-
-
-
- THE F-KEYS
- ~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The ten F-Keys (F1,F2...F10) at the top of the keyboard can be programmed
- to insert any text that you define into the current document, or to run a
- prescribed number of EdWord's ARexx commands. To program these keys, select
- Define F-Keys from the Utilities menu.
-
- By using SHIFT + F-Key, you can access EdWord's Bookmark facility. This
- lets you mark a certain position within a file so that you can quickly
- return to it at any time. SHIFT+F1 to F3 set a Bookmark and SHIFT+F6 to F8,
- return to the corresponding mark.
-
-
-
- DIRECT ASCII VALUE ENTRY
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- It is possible to enter ANY character into the EdWord editor. You can use
- the ALT keys with various combinations to produce some of these characters
- (as you would do from AmigaDOS or most other text editors). But a much more
- powerful method is to use the Direct ASCII Entry facility of EdWord.
-
- What this entails is that you depress the LEFT AMIGA key and (keeping it
- depressed) type in the (decimal) ASCII value of the character you require.
- Then when you release the LEFT AMIGA key, the character with that ASCII
- value will be inserted into the current text. This facility can be used at
- any time, whether entering data directly into the editor or into a string
- gadget (e.g. for searching or occurrence counts etc.)
-
- This facility can come in extremely handy. For example, it allows you to
- convert the End-Of-Line character to any standard - The Amiga uses a line
- feed character (#10) to symbolise End-Of-Line whereas, for example, the IBM-
- PC's use a carriage return + line feed (#13,#10). Therefore, to convert
- Amiga to IBM format ASCII text, you simply search for all characters with
- ASCII code 10 and replace them with an ASCII code 13 and 10 by using the
- Direct Ascii Entry facilty in the Find/Replace window.

- tell you what they do :-)
