                           []  pEDIT  Version 2.01  []
                           []=======================[]


                                  New Features
                                  ------------

         File 'pick' lists; enter a wildcard file specification such
         as "GET FILE *.BAS" and pick from a list of all matching
         file names

         Disk macros; these let you automate repetitive tasks and
         extend (customize) the editor, i.e. give it some capability
         it doesn't have built-in

         On-line help for every pEDIT command; the help file is user-
         customizable

         Trim Buffer; this new command 'trims' each line of the
         current buffer, i.e. sets the length to zero if the line is
         composed entirely of blanks

         Limited wild-card search capablility; search for beginning
         or end of line

         A default keyboard configuration is defined at startup if
         no INI file is found. The labelled keys such as Home, PgUp,
         Del, etc. are set to their normal function and Esc is the
         DoCommand key. In the past you had to reboot as there was
         no way to "talk to" the editor

         Telephone support for registered users


                                  Just Improved
                                  -------------

         Keyboard macros can now contain ANY keystroke as keys are
         bound to a full command string rather than just a procedure
         name

         Improved error handling; pEDIT now checks for sufficient
         disk space before saving a file

         Improved editing in prompting mode; use the keys you're
         already used to - a subset of your defined keys

         Smaller size; pEDIT 2 contains much new functionality yet
         the executable is over 10k smaller than version 1.75!

         Improved performance in several areas;

           - Get File averages 10% faster
           - Write File is up to twice as fast
           - Fill Paragraph is 40-50% faster

         Improved internal compile support; with disk macros it is
         now possible to loop through errors in your source code one-
         at-a-time!


                            Some Things Have Changed
                            ------------------------

         Single DOS environment variable 'PEDIT' saves valuable
         environment space; replaces 'PEDITHLP' and 'PEDITINI'

         Two sample init files are now provided:

           - Standard; tries to follow the so-called PC standard
             with <F01> = Help, <Del> = EraseChar, etc.

           - Alternate; corresponds to what came with previous
             versions of pEDIT

         A template for the old 84-key keyboard is no longer
         provided

         FillParagraph now reformats starting at the current line
         instead of at the top of the paragraph

         'FIND NEXT' has been replaced by 'FINDNEXT' as 'FIND NEXT'
         is now interpreted as "search for the string "NEXT"'


                           []=======================[]
                           []  pEDIT  Version 2.10  []
                           []=======================[]


                                  New Features
                                  ------------

         Multi-key commands; this major enhancement allows two-key
         commands and permits emulation of WordStar, Emacs and many
         other editors

         Abort; the abort key is now user definable and is not 'hard-
         wired' to Ctrl-C

         Define Shift; used to define shift (lead in) keys for the
         new multi-key commands

         Rename File; the name of the disk file can now be changed
         so a file being edited can be saved under a different name

         Ruler; toggles a status line ruler on and off

         Set PIndent; paragraph indent lets you automatically indent
         the first line of a paragraph

         Set Scope Local|Global; when the scope is Global, all Find
         and Replace operations operate on ALL user buffers - you can
         now search for text anywhere in memory


                                  Just Improved
                                  -------------

         Smaller size; pEDIT 2.10 is now only 72k in size (on disk)
         after being compressed by the marvelous LZEXE utility

         An elusive bug that would rarely insert nulls into the text
         has been fixed.

         Overall performance has again been improved

         The number of user buffers has been increased from 4 to 6

         Replace now permits the same wildcards that can be used
         with Find to match beginning/end of line


                            Some Things Have Changed
                            ------------------------

         Four sample initialization files are now provided:

           - WordStar

           - Emacs; the famous UNIX programmer's editor

           - Standard; tries to follow the so-called PC standard
             with <F01> = Help, <Del> = EraseChar, etc.

           - Alternate; the original pEDIT configuration

         Switching to the COMMAND buffer is no longer permitted;
         there is no reason for anyone to do so

         Trim Buffer now trims all lines of the buffer, not just
         empty lines

         Any Help or File pick list selection can be cancelled by
         pressing the defined Abort key
