%%
.1
ESC
Exit; leave EE. EE will ask if you wish to update the environment with the
displayed information. Use the "Y" or "N" keys to select an answer, or press
the space bar to toggle. If you select "Yes" and the displayed environment
exceeds the maximum space available in the table, EE will beep and refuse to
exit. The program may still be terminated by selecting "No", or by using the
ALT-Q "Quit" command. EE will remove all leading and trailing blanks and
blank lines from the edited environment before updating the master table.
.2
ALT-X
Exit; leave EE. Automatically updates the environment. If the displayed
environment exceeds the maximum space available in the table, EE will beep
and refuse to exit. The program may still be terminated by selecting "No",
or by using the ALT-Q "Quit" command. EE will remove all leading and trailing
blanks and blank lines from the edited environment before updating the master
table.
.3
ALT-Q
Quit; leave EE. Does not update environment table.
.4
ALT-C
Syntax check; check environment syntax. EE will check the current environment
for syntactic and symantic mistakes.
.5
ALT-M
Toggle marking mode; turn the highlight on or off.
.6
ALT-O
Copy; moves the marked region into the cut buffer, but does not remove it
from the environment.
.7
ALT-U
Cut; removes the marked region from the environment, moving the text into the
cut buffer. Stops marking mode.
.8
DEL
Delete; if marking is on, removes the marked region from the environment, but
does not move the text into the cut buffer. If marking is not on, deletes the
character at the current cursor location.
.9
ALT-A
Paste; moves the contents of the cut buffer into the environment at the
location of the cursor.
.10
CTL-Y
Delete line; removes the line where the cursor is currently positioned. The
cut line is placed in the cut buffer, and can be pasted with ALT-A.
.11
ALT-S
Search; searches for the specified string. Searches forward through the
environment from the current cursor location, and places the cursor at the
beginning of the first occurrence of the search string.
.12
ALT-R
Replace; replaces the search string with the replacement string. Searches
forward through the environment from the current cursor location. When the
first occurrence is located, EE will place the "Replace? Yes, No, Global : "
prompt in the window border. Pressing "Y" will replace the string, "N" will
skip the occurrence, and "G" will cause all further occurrences to be
replaced without prompting. The function will search through the end of the
environment.
.13
ALT-G
Get; loads the environment from a file. The current contents of the
environment are replaced by the file contents. Files must be in a format
consistent with that created by the Put function.
.14
ALT-I
Include; loads the environment from a file. The current contents of the
environment are maintained, and the contents of the file are inserted before
the current line.  Files must be in a format consistent with that created by
the Put function.
.15
ALT-P
Put; writes to a file. If a region is marked, only that region is written to 
the specified file, otherwise, the entire environment is written. Files are 
written with carriage return/line feed terminators separating each entry. If 
a region is written, an additional carriage return/line feed is appended, and
the text is also copied to the cut buffer. The current contents of the 
environment are not changed.
.16
APPEND
May contain a list of valid directories separated by semicolons.
This entry is created by the APPEND command, and should not be modified or
removed from the environment. EE cannot determine if APPEND is resident, and
will not display an error message if this entry is not found. This entry is
the only one that EE considers valid if it has no value to the right of the
equals sign. Consult your DOS manual for the method of APPEND's operation and
it relationship to this environment table entry.
.17
COMPSPEC
Must point to an existing .COM file. THIS ENTRY MUST EXIST.
The COMSPEC entry in the environment is created by DOS during the boot
process. Removing or altering the value of this entry can cause erratic
behavior or system lock-up. In general, this entry should not be altered or
removed. Specifically, you should not change the value to point to a location
where a copy of the command interpreter cannot be found.
.18
DIRCMD
Must contain valid DIR command options.
This entry contains options that will be passed automatically to every DOS
DIR command. You can override these defaults on the DIR command line, but
DIR will still attempt to interpret this line to establish it's default
action. Consult your DOS Manual for valid DIR options and switches.
.19
PATH
Must contain a list of valid directories separated by semicolons.
Modification of entries in the environment that specify locations on disk
such as the PATH entry, will take effect immediately on EE's termination. If
DOS or application programs are unable to successfully parse the modified
entries, erratic behavior, data loss and system lock-up may result.
.20
PROMPT
May contain character combinations representing operating system information.
Changes to the PROMPT entry will take effect immediately upon EE's
termination. Caution should be used in modifying this value, as erroneous
values can cause system lock-up. Consult the DOS Manual for valid forms of
this entry.
.21
TEMP
Must contain a list of valid directories separated by semicolons.
Modification of entries in the environment that specify locations on disk
such as the TEMP entry, will take effect immediately on EE's termination. If
DOS or application programs are unable to successfully parse the modified
entries, erratic behavior, data loss and system lock-up may result.
.22
TMP
Must contain a list of valid directories separated by semicolons.
Modification of entries in the environment that specify locations on disk
such as the TMP entry, will take effect immediately on EE's termination. If
DOS or application programs are unable to successfully parse the modified
entries, erratic behavior, data loss and system lock-up may result. TMP is
only used by versions of DOS before 2.0, though some applications still check
for its existence.
.23
Directory List Entry
Might contain a list of valid directories separated by semicolons.
If EE finds a line that contains semicolons after the equals sign, it will
assume the line is a list of directory names, and attempt to validate their
existence. If it cannot, it will display an error message, but will not
abandon the check, and will process the rest of the environment.
.24
Too many keywords
Only a single word may appear on the left side of the equals sign. DOS will
still be able to parse the entry, but you will not be able to update it
successfully with the SET command.
.25
No value for equate
A keyword must be equated to a value. DOS will still be able to parse the
entry, but you will not be able to update it successfully with the SET
command.
.26
windir
Supplied by Windows in a DOS shell, this entry contains the name of the
directory from which the current copy of Windows was started. You should not
modify or remove this entry.
.27
OTHER KEYS
The Ctrl-HOME and Ctrl-END keys move to the top and bottom of the
environment. The INS key toggles between INSert and overstrike mode.
.28
ALT-L
Colors; Allows the colors of the display and pop ups to be altered. When
selected, this command displays a pop up containing the foreground and
background colors of the editable text, highlighted (marked region) text and
pop up text.
.29
Out of space
EE could not load the file you requested because it ran out of space in the
edit buffer. EE only allows editing of test to twice the size of the current
maximum environment.
.30
Environment too large
EE cannot update the environment because it will not fit in the current table
allocated by DOS. Reduce the number of entries in your edited environment and
try again. The program may still be terminated by selecting "No", or by using
the ALT-Q "Quit" command.
.31
No equal found
Environment entries take the form KEYWORD=VALUE, and must contain an equals
sign to separate the two textural elements.
.32
ALT-D
Dictionary; displays the meaning (to EE) of the current environment keyword.
If EE does not understand the environment keyword, or if the current line
does not contain a valid assignment, EE will display a menu of keywords to
select from.
