         tde, the Thomson-Davis Editor
                  Version 1.3


 Usage:
  At the command line (OUTSIDE GUN, but under 
  Utilities within GUN) type:

        tde [file name(s)]

  For example:

        tde
        tde foo.bar
        tde c:\c60\tde\main.c
        tde *.c  \qc25\tde\*.h
        tde foo.bar  foobar  f*  foo.*  f??b??

  tde will handle files as large 470k.  If you try 
  to edit a file larger than 470k, only the first 
  portion of the file is loaded into tde.  With
  DOS 5.0, you can edit files as large as 520k if 
  you load DOS high. tde will handle lines as long
  as 255 characters. Only the first 255 characters 
  of long lines are handled - long lines are not 
  truncated.
