                            EDITING MULTIPLE FILES

    To edit more than one file at a time, all you have to do is move the
    cursor to the Command Line and type EDIT followed by the name and path
    specification of the file you want to edit.  Optionally at the end of
    this command, you may enter a line number and the number of lines you
    want to edit.  For example, let's edit the eleven lines 10 through 20
    of this file by going to the Command Line and typing the command:

    edit a:\pct_help\mult_fil.hlp  10 11

    (Obviously if you have moved these HELP panels to another location you
    will have to adjust the path accordingly.)

    Now press the Enter key.  You are now in a new copy of the original
    file.  Press Shift F1 a few times till you get back to the original
    HELP file.

                              Press the PgDn Key

                          MULTIPLE FILES (Continued)

    As you saw, Shift F1 moved you from file to file and the message on
    the Message Line told you which file (by number) you are currently in.
    Ctrl F1 will move you from file to file in the reverse direction.

    This feature of PC-TYPE+ is extremely powerful, for you can mark areas
    in one file, and copy or move them to other files at will.  As long as
    you have sufficient memory, you can edit up to 10 files
    simultaneously.

    When you QUIT or SAVE one file, you will return to the adjacent
    remaining file.

    If you have a number of files active at once and you want to get back
    to DOS, press the Ctrl Break key and answer Y to the question "Are you
    Sure?"

                              Press the PgDn Key

                          MULTIPLE FILES (Continued)

    When you request to edit a new file, PC-TYPE+ will check the file
    specification you provided in the edit command against the files which
    are currently active within PC-TYPE+.  If an EXACT match is found, you
    will be notified that that file is already active, and asked if you
    really want to edit another copy of it.  If you do, press Y, if not,
    press N.

    Try this out by moving to the Command Line and typing edit followed by
    the exact string of characters which appears in the current file
    identification box at the top of the PC-TYPE+ screen.  Then press N.

    Since you have an extra file active now, try moving and copying data
    from one file to another.
