              The Editing Screen
              ──────────────────


  The Editing Screen is used when editing mail
  in your Outgoing Mailbox, and when Replying
  to mail in your Incoming Mailbox.


             Editing Screen Elements
             ───────────────────────

 The Editing Screen is made up of four elements;

╒══════ 1 ══════╕   1 = Title line
│┌──────2──────┐│
│├─────────────┤│   2 = Mail Header
││      3      ││
│└─────────────┘│   3 = Mail Text
└────── 4 ──────┘
                    4 = Mail Text Menu


 1 - Title Line
 ──────────────
 The top line on the screen, or Title Line,
 displays the program name and version number.


 2 - Mail Header
 ───────────────
 This section of the screen displays the
 Received From name, Sent To name, Subject, and
 Date & Time Sent for the mail being edited.  If
 this mail is being created, then the Sent To
 name and Date & Time Sent will be blank.


 3 - Mail Text
 ─────────────
 This section of the screen contains the text of
 your mail.  The text will word wrap
 automatically and is limited to 64,000
 characters.  When the cursor is in this area,
 an indicator appears which displays the
 Insert/Overstrike status, and the Mail Text
 Menu appears.


 4 - Mail Text Menu
 ──────────────────
 When the cursor is in the Mail Text area, the
 Mail Text Menu appears.  This menu lists some
 of the actions available while editing.  A full
 list of keystrokes and their actions appears
 near the end of this Help Screen.


             Editing Screen Notes
             ────────────────────


 Editing the Subject
 ───────────────────
 You may edit the Subject when you are editing
 mail you created in your Outgoing Mailbox.
 (The Subject is not available for editing when
 you with the Reply option in the Incoming
 Mailbox.)  When you press <Enter>, or if you
 fill out the Subject completely, the cursor
 will jump down to the Mail Text area.


 Editing the Mail Text
 ─────────────────────
 The Mail Text area displays 15 lines at a time
 of up to 72 characters.  It word wraps
 automatically and has a limitation of 64,000
 characters per mail item.  If there are more
 than 15 lines in a given item, arrows appear on
 the left and right side of the Mail Text area,
 near the bottom.  These arrows indicate that
 you will need to move the cursor to see the
 rest of the text.  See page four of this
 section for a listing and explanation of the
 Editing Screen keystrokes.


 Creating blank lines
 ────────────────────
 Blank lines can be created in two ways;

 1. Put the cursor at the end of the line above
    the desired location for the blank line.
    Press <Enter>.

 2. Put the cursor at the beginning of the line
    where you want a new blank line.  Press
    <Enter>.


 Reformatting paragraphs
 ───────────────────────
 Pressing the <Enter> key is the same as a
 carriage return.  A paragraph is any text
 between two carriage returns or between the
 beginning of the text and the first carriage
 return.  When reformatting text with the
 <Alt-P>, remember that the reformatting takes
 place FROM THE POSITION OF THE CURSOR TO THE
 END OF THE PARAGRAPH.  If you wish to reformat
 an entire paragraph, the cursor must be at the
 beginning of the paragraph


 Aborting
 ────────
 When you press <Esc> to abort editing, one of
 two things will happen.  If you have made no
 changes, you will immediately be returned to
 the Mailbox Screen from whence you came.  If
 you have made changes, you will be asked to
 verify that you indeed wish to abort and lose
 the changes.  If you answer 'No', you will be
 placed back in the Mail Text.  If you answer
 'Yes' the changes will be lost and you will be
 returned to the Mailbox Screen from whence you
 came.
