Text File Editor for DX-FORTH
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TED is a resident text file editor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
INSTALLATION:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DX-FORTH for CP/M must be configured for your terminal before
|
||
|
|
using the text file editor. See DX-FORTH.TXT for further
|
||
|
|
details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Users who prefer working with text files can replace the
|
||
|
|
resident screen file editor in DX-Forth with TED. To do this
|
||
|
|
enter the following from the DOS command prompt:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A:FORTH-F - SYSTEM INCLUDE TED AKA TED EDIT SAVE DX BYE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
INVOKING:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The text editor is invoked by typing TED. If the editor is
|
||
|
|
not resident it is automatically loaded from disk file TED.F
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you mainly use text files you may want to add EDIT as a
|
||
|
|
synonym for TED as previously described.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TED ( "filename[.F]" -- )
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Load and edit the text file "filename". If no filename is
|
||
|
|
given use the file specified by LASTFILE and LOADLINE.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note: Specifying a filename with TED is only available once
|
||
|
|
TED has been loaded and the loader stub overwritten.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A "load/size error" is reported if the file cannot be found,
|
||
|
|
is write-protected or too large to fit in memory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Edits are confined to memory and only written to disk on
|
||
|
|
exit with ^U (S)ave or when writing to another filename with
|
||
|
|
^Z (W)rite.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lines can be up to 132 characters but only the leftmost are
|
||
|
|
displayed and directly editable. Tabs are converted to
|
||
|
|
single spaces.
