Well, here is NeuEdit v1.0. This is also, essentially, the help screen. It's very straightforward, and should present no difficulty to you.
First, let's go through those buttons on the top. The first button is the home button - click that, and you go .... home.
The next button deletes the card document that you are currently looking at. It will ask you if you want to do this first, and then it will do it. Unless, of course, you said no, and then it won't do it.
The round button thingy lets you create a new, blank card with a new, blank field for your document. It will also call the card
"Untitled", and put "Untitled" into the upper-left hand corner
(where, you will notice, you will find the document name to always be).
Next are the left and right arrow keys, each doing basically what all people who use HyperCard know they would do - they go left or right!
The Font button lets you select the font for the document you are currently viewing. Since the field that contains the document is not a background field, you can have different fonts for all of your documents.
The Help button does nothing. Sorry. OK,OK, it does something. You will just have to figure it out.
S/R --pull-down menu -- is your typical search and replace - it's very powerful. Search lets you search for any word or group of words. When it finds one, a little dialog in the upper-left hand corner lets you either "Continue" with the search, or "Stop" the search. Of course, this decision is left up to you. My next version of NeuEdit will have a special mind-reading feature that will automatically "know" when it has found the occurrence you were looking for. The Search and Replace feature lets you .... Search and replace. If you check off verify occurrences, it will ask you before replacing them. If you only want to replace one word, do a search and replace, and then check the verify box.
Finally, file is the file menu. It's a pull-down menu also. By choosing "NEW", you will clear the contents of your current document card and the card will have untitled in the upper-right corner. Also, you can do "Load Text File", which will ask you for the name of the text file and then load it up for you. "Save as Text File" will let you save what is currently in your document card to a text file.
Print will print the documents in the stack.
And that's not all! Click on the filename in the upper right hand corner, and you get another pull down menu. You can view the attributes of your file - # lines, # words, and # of characters. Just let it be known that if you don't push return at the end of every line you type, you won't get the proper number of lines, which makes the line feature pretty useless. I stuck it in 'cuz it looks neat, though. The other item in the pull-down menu is "Card Directory", which will give you a directory of the documents in your stack.
This stack is shareware! The next version will be available only to those who send in their fees, and the next version will support RTF Format, so you can transport your text files to Microsoft Word with complete formatting. Please send $7.50 and a disk or $10 and no disk to:
