1 There are only a few keys to work this editor. F1 will call a help screen
for the highlighted function. ESC will exit any menu and the program from
the MAIN MENU. ESC will also stop and exit any function at an entry point.
ENTER will select the highlighted function as will clicking mouse on a
highlighted function. All choices will default with ENTER or you can select
the function with mouse or cursor and click or ENTER.
Most entries are checked for validity and edited files are checked for
save on EXIT. Files are also checked for overwrite. The default extensions
(.WIN, .MEN, .PRN, .SCR, .SNG) should be kept because of record formating,
but .HLP can be used for help files (.men format).
All files of a type can be loaded at once, like (win and menu and screen)
so you can edit a scheme without reloading files. The desktop will keep all
edited windows, menus, and screens so you can seen your program scheme as
it is developed. You can all so build schemes with existing file to see how
they look. schemes can also be saved for use later.
Hints:
For screen edit layout the coordinates of your screen (X and Y)
before hand. The same for print forms. Also edit menus in the window
that they will display in for proper sizing. Lay out songs before
editing also, it makes it a lot easier.
File
All of the file utilities are here. These are used to maintain and save
the files. All work the same as the TURBO C compiler. The default extension
should be kept to denote the file format.
Edit
These are the editing functions for the files. They are used to make any
changes in any of the files and to create new ones. See the tutorial (simptut
.exe) for the the function parameters.
View
These functions are for viewing a file or record in a file and for to
create scheme files for use in editing.
Load
LOAD is used to load existing files into the editor. When called it
will ask for the file type, then give you the files with that extension
that are in the current directory. You can change the extension but I
again urge you not to do so because of the file formating. Once the file
is loaded you will return to main menu. Any unsaved file in the editor
will be checked and you will be asked to save it. If it already exists you
will be prompted to over write.
New
NEW is like load except no directory list appears. The name new is given
the file type (.win,.men,.prn,.scr,.sng) extension and created on disk.
A new name should be give to the file when saved with WRITE TO. As with
LOAD any unsaved edited file will be noticed and you will be asked to save
it.
Save
SAVE will save the file in editor with its existing name and extension.
If the file already exists you will be asked to overwrite it.
Write to
WRITE TO will ask for a new file name to save the file in editor to. It
will check for overwrite, save the file and return to main menu. Again the
default extensions should be kept.
New dir
NEW DIR is used to change the working directory. The old directory will
be displayed for edit or rewrite and the directory entered then becomes the
new working directory.
Exit
EXIT is to leave the program. It checks for unsaved files then asks if
you wish to quit.
Creat
CREAT will find the last record in the loaded file and begin edit at the
next record location.
Edit
EDIT will ask for a record number and edit that record. If the record
number is at or after end of file the E O F flag will display and you will
exit the function.
Edit menu and window file will load and display the current scheme in
the editor. The text editor or menu edit will conform to the dimensions
of the current window in the scheme display. If this is not desired just
load a scheme record that has the window current you wish.
Attr
ATTR is used to change the file attributes from read/write to read only
and back. Use this to write protect your program files.
Delete
DELETE is to delete or remove a specified record in a file. It will ask
for a record number to remove and step all proceeding records up by one.
Insert
INSERT is used to insert a record in a file. It will ask for a record
number and insert the new record there, changing all record numbers after by
one.
New Desk
This clears the desk top and allows you to build a new scheme to work
with.
Single
SINGLE views a single record in a file. It will ask for the record number
and display that record.
All
ALL views the whole file one record at a time. ESC will exit this at any
time. With songs it will play the whole song until you hit ESC.
Scheme
Scheme is a display function that allows you to call all the files for
your program buy record number. It will display your graphics scheme as it
will appear in your program and you can also save or recall your scheme at
any time buy record number.
Directories
Directories or both cursored and moused. Move the cursor or mouse to the
desired file and hit ENTER or left click. The input will take full names
or wildcards (*,?).

4056 byte long records that are used for call/uncall_window. The first or 0
