TECO EDT There is a new TECO program which is able to emulate ED2 and provides some handy capabilities. These are: * Drawing boxes on the screen * Editing with overprint rather than insert (to allow filling in the boxes without worry over how the rest of the code looks. Note that where there is no text in existence, the overprint mode is smart enough to insert it. To use: Type as in the following, where $ means ESCAPE, not the dollar sign: >TEC/NOM *EILB:[1,1]edt$$ Editing macro loaded into Q-register I *EByourfile.ext$$ ;if the file already exists, or *EWnewfile.ext$$ ;if the file is a new one *Y$MI$$ The screen will now clear and display the start of the file. ED2 type screen commands may now be used to edit the file. Where it is desired to simply overwrite the text in place, you can toggle the edit mode to permit this by typing control R. Width is set up by gold, where count over 25 is the width. This controls the Fill action. To enter DRAW mode, type GOLD twice. The screen will announce "Draw mode" at the bottom. Now you begin to fill in boxes. The editor then draws characters wherever you move the cursor with the direction keys. The character used is initially "*" but may be changed at any time by typing Control G and then entering the desired character. To exit this mode, type GOLD twice again. Once you create your boxes, you need to enter overprint mode editing to edit inside them. Do so with control R and use search or cursor control to position yourself. Don't type carriage return or use the DELete key; they insert the return character or delete a character respectively. Instead backspace over errors and type over them. To go to the start of a line inside a box, using the cursor control to go down a column and then using the space reverse one word, then forward a character, gets you there reasonably easily. Exiting is done by control Z. TECO/EDT will close the file and exit automatically. If you didn't give a filename, it will ask for one. It also occasionally autosaves the file to prevent mistakes or crashes from losing your work; this happens every page or so.
