This beta is provided as is. The author can not be held
responsible for any lost data, or other damage occuring
directly or indirecly from the use of iEdit. However,
this beta is considered SAFE in use as the author has
personally it used for about a year now.


No documentation is provided at this stage, other than
a small summary of the REXX commands available. The file
and edit menus work 100%, statistics in the special menu
is currently not implemented. Configure should work, and
help does nothing. Settings are saved in IEDIT.INI in the
same directoy as you put iEdit.


Features that may and may no be implemented:
--------------------------------------------

-REXX command for filerequester
-REXX command for YES/NO/CANCEL dialog
-REXX command for search
-REXX command for text input requester
-REXX command for writing in the statline (bottom left)

-statistics (words, chars, lines, etc. in document)
-TAB config. Currently it defaults to 4 char/tab
-Read only mode for file viewing
-multitreading for reading/writing. I know the current
 version is NOT following guidlines when loading/saving files
-Ability to add rexx scripts to menu
-Wordstar similar shortcuts

REXX command summary:
---------------------

rc      = edMessageBox("messagebox")	* Messagebox popup
min_sel = edQuerySelMin()				* Returns min selection point (top/leftmost)
max_sel = edQuerySelMax()				* Returns min selection point (bottom/rightmost)
cur_pos = edQueryCursorPos()			* Returns cursor position
anc_pos = edQueryAnchorPos()			* Returns anchor position
tex_len = edQueryTextLength()			* Returns text length
lin_len = edQueryLineLength(linenum)	* Returns line length
lin_cnt = edQueryLineCount()			* Returns line count
sel_tex = edQuerySelText()				* Returns selected text
all_tex = edQueryText()					* Returns entire text
fil_nam = edQueryFilename()				* Returns filename
fil_nam = edSetFilename("filename")		* Sets the filename
cur_chr = edQueryCurrentChar()			* Returns character at cursor
cur_lin = edQueryCurrentLine()			* Returns text at current line
rc      = edLoadFile("filename")		* Load file
rc      = edSaveFile("filename")		* Save file
rc      = edImport("filename")			* Import at cursor position
rc      = edExport("filename")			* Export selected text
rc      = edInsertText("text")			* Insert text at curs position
rc      = edSetText("text")				* Replace all contents with "text"
rc      = edSetCurrentChar("char")		* Replace char at cursor position
rc      = edSetCurrentLine("line")		* Replace current line with "line"

Known bugs:

edSetCurrentLine()	* Note: Does not preserve selection!
					* Bug: Does not work correctly on last line!

General:			* There is currently no way to easily goto a specific line or
                      return the current line number. I realize edQueryLineLength()
                      is pretty useless as it is (unless you know what line your'e on)




That's ALL folks! Enjoy!
