                                WELCOME
                                -------

  Welcome  to GoldED, a new editor for your Amiga. I'm shure you'll
  like  this package: new look & feel of OS2/3.x, lots of functions
  and  last  but  not  least  a nice GUI. The documentation of this
  editor  is provided as AmigaGuide file. AmigaGuide is a hypertext
  reader by Commodore.

  This  is  a  pre-release  - especially as far as documentation is
  concerned:  partly  English,  partly German, partly not available
  ;-)
