The flexible configuration lets you tailor any VEDIT Family editor to the
particulars of your computer and "customize" it to your applications, personal
preferences and keyboard layout.

The VEDIT editors have two levels of configuration.  Most configuration 
changes can be made inside the editor and can be made permanent by saving them 
directly into the "VEDIT.EXE" file.

Less common configuration changes, such as selecting hardware compatibility, 
are made with the configuration program VPCONFIG.

The {CONFIG} sub-menu lets you change the Tab positions, "Word Processing", 
"Programming", "File Handling", "Emulation" and "Misc" options.  You can also 
change the "Printing" and "Searching" options.  The {CONFIG, Save into VEDIT} 
function saves the current configuration settings and, optionally, any new 
keystroke macros into the "VEDIT.EXE" file.  Unlike other editors, VEDIT does 
NOT use separate configuration files which slow down invocation.

For example, you could select to have tab positions set to 10, 25 and 30, 
the "right margin" set to column 65 and "justification" enabled.  You can even 
select the character to be displayed at the end of lines (where the <CR><LF> 
is) and the "fill character" used to display Tab characters.  You can select 
the cursor type and cursor blink rate or a non-blinking cursor.

VEDIT can be configured to a wide variety of hardware.  Screen sizes up to 100 
lines and 250 columns are supported.  The colors (attributes) for the status 
line, menus, window borders and text can be selected.

An important feature is the ability to completely determine your own keyboard 
layout - what control or function key you will press to perform each edit 
function.  This demo asks you to press, for example, "<CTRL-F>" to format a 
paragraph.  However, you can assign the [FORMAT PARAGRAPH] function to any 
key.  You can even assign it to two different keys.  The same holds for all of 
the edit functions.

You can start with a keyboard layout we supply, such as the "default", 
WordStar (tm) or Word Perfect (tm) layouts, perhaps modifying them a little. 
Or you can create your own keyboard layout, perhaps using one you are already 
familiar with from another editing/word processing program.

At any time you can add new keystroke macros.  You can enter them directly 
using a special window or have VEDIT record your keystrokes while you edit.

VEDIT PLUS's powerful macro language lets you create your own editing 
functions and assign them to a key using keystroke macros.  A library of 
keystroke macros is supplied which includes "duplicate line", "open line", 
"transpose letters", "word count" and many others.

All configuration parameters, including new keystroke macros, can also be
transferred from one release of the editor to another.
