
WORD400 is a mini-text editor which operates as a desk accessary written in
Personel Pascal by OSS. It served as an excuse for me to learn something about
both GEM and Pascal (to keep up with my sixteen year old's obsession with the
language). I hope it will prove useful.


Special Keys:

Help        : Open Help Window.
Insert      : Toggles between insert and replace mode
Shift-Insert: Inserts a line at the curor position
Delete      : Deletes the character at the cursor position
Backspace   : Deletes the chacacter preceeding the cursor.
CNTRL-D     : Deletes the current line.
F1          : Displays stack/heap available memory.
F2          : Choose between English, Pascal capitalization modes.
              1) English mode caplitizes all letters after sentence
                 ending puctuation and then skips an extra space.
              2) Pascal mode capitalizes after underscores, colons,
                 parenthesis, etc.
F3          : Clear file from Memory.
F6          : Split line at cursor.
F7          : Splice line at cursor.
F8          : Print file.
F9          : Load file.
F10         : Save file.


Notes and Warnings:

    1) Word wrapping only takes place in REPLACE mode (open box cursor)
    2) Do not try to load non-exisatant files or save files to invalid
       drives -- The system tends to generate a RESET!
    3) Current maximum file size is 400 lines. I will make a larger
       version availible later.
    4) WORD400 uses appox. 73K of ST memory.
    5) All the window pariphalia work (to some extent).  They are
       much easier to use than relying on cursor scrolling.
    6) I have used this mainly in Medium resolution,but it should
       Low res as well.  The last line number will be truncated.
