TITLE
A2osX Edit Help
The edit command allows the user to interactively read and edit standard text
files in A2osX. If you do not specify a file name on the command line, you
will be prompted to enter one when you save your work (control-S). Consult
the help screen below for a list of the special keys that can be used while
editing a file.
A note for the touch typists!: While edit is not a word processor, it still is
one of the most complex programs included in A2osX. It does a lot! A side
affect of this, and due to the lack of a keyboard buffer in the Apple //e, if
you try to speed type while using EDIT some keystrokes may be dropped. This
is most noticeable when using the AppleWin emulator set to 1.0 speed.
Changing the emulator speed to at least 2.0 will significantly reduce or
eliminate the dropped keys.
