DME
A Programmer's Editor
Matthew Dillon
First Time DME users: READ THE DOCUMENTATION. There is no online help
for DME. The editor is designed for programmers
like me.
Place DME wherever. place SAMPLE.EDRC as S:.EDRC .. DME automatically
sources S:.EDRC, and the .EDRC in the current directory on startup.
Seasoned DME users: The end of the documentation contains changes and
bug fixes to this version. Review the command list.

Last Revision 4 Sept 1988, Matthew Dillon
-SAVEMAP, does not output (s- ) properly.
BUGS:
- Word Wrap (actually reformat). hold 1 down ... can freeze up due
to word being too long.
- Can get behind keyboard when key repeating.
- Fix case-ignore
TODO:
- wordwrap mode reformat should put two spaces after punctuation
.?!:; instead of 1.
- ascii numeric variable support and ENV: support
- exception handling
- string kill vector
- character oriented blocks
- stackable search/replace strings
- a way to cancel all user keymaps
- clipboard support
- anchored search
- provision to show mapping for a single key. Allow $map .. $c-a...
- Allow different current directory for each window
- Add scroll gadgets
- Formatted Save
fsave (formatted save)
When it encounters one linefeed with the next character not whitespace,
it writes a space. If the next character is whitespace it leaves it
alone (write one linefeed). If the next character is a linefeed, write
one linefeed then copy linefeeds up to the next non-linefeed.
This will almost allow "word-processor" output... with columns! Very
simple, very small, and it will save me from the horrors of
PageSetter's editor. You may want to do funky things to the name like
"fsaveas" or "fbsave" or whatever.
SUGGESTIONS FOR NOT SO IMMEDIATE FUTURE:
Add some user-accessible variables, like for current x/y position,
total text length, insert mode, modification status, window size and
position, current line length, last operation status, etc.
Add an array of user integer variables to go along with the array
of toggles.
Add a command to evaluate simple arithmetic expressions and store
the result in user variables.
Teach the condition evaluator (for "if" and "when") to do comparisons
on integers and maybe also on strings ("if $scanf=`something'" ?).
Have you considered porting the guts of DME into a machine-independent
environment (curses?). I know, this is pretty far fetched, it's just that
I miss the power of DME at work...
