            Ed (1.3, 2.x, 3.x located in C:)


	SYNOPSIS
            The Amiga's built in full-screen text editor.
        
            Ed is a complete text editor. Due to the huge scope 
        of the available commands you should consult your Amiga 
        System manual on how to exactly use Ed.

            If enough people contact me to include a full 
        tutorial in DOSMan, I will write one.
		

            FORMAT
		1.3:
			ED FROM (name) [SIZE (numchars)]

		2.x/3.x:
			ED [FROM] name] [SIZE numchars] [WITH comfile] 
			   [TABS interval] [WINDOW device] [WIDTH columns]
			   [HEIGHT rows]

	

	KEYWORDS
		FROM
			This is the name of the file you wish to edit.
		If the file does not exist, Ed will create it. This keyword
	    is optional as long as it is the first arguement in the
		Ed statement.

		SIZE
			This sets the size of the buffer which ED uses. If
		this is the second arguement in the command line, then
		the keyword is optional, you only need to type the number.
		SIZE defaults to 40,000 bytes. If your buffer is not big
		enough to hold the file you are editing, then you will
		get a warning message informing you of this from Ed.

		WITH
			2.x/3.x Only: This lets you make an Ed command file
		to execute automatically. This is a command file that
		contains a list of extended instructions for Ed that
		will execute when the file is run. This exists in the 
		form of a script. See your Amiga's manual on how to set
		up this command script.			

		TABS
			2.x/3.x Only: This lets you set how many spaces will
	    be skipped when	you hit the Tab key. The default Tab is
	    three spaces.

		WINDOW, WIDTH, HEIGHT
			2.x/3.x Only: The combination of these three commands
		would allow you to open Ed on a remote terminal. Window
		lets you specify this device (for example, AUX:). The
		Width and Height lets you set the demensions of the new
		window.

			2.x/3.x Only: You can also edit binary files, not just
		plain ASCI text.

	EXAMPLE

            1. To edit a text file called ThisText in the 
        Work:TextFiles directory.

			Ed Work:TextFiles/ThisText


            2. To edit a really big file of 75,000 kbytes in the 
        Work:TextFiles

			Ed Work:TextFiles/ReallyBig.txt SIZE 80000
