The Text Editor
The text editor in Multicom is a powerful tool for creating and editing your own
text files. The text files you edit may be auto-router files (.RTR); parameter
configuration files (.PRM); one of the function buffer files (.FUN); or you may
wish to simply edit a packet or RTTY bulletin for later re-transmission. You can
edit or create a text file with any valid DOS filename with directory path
information. Use the keys shown below to make full use of the text editor:
<F10> Enters the text editor from terminal mode.
<Alt> +H From within the text editor, this brings up a screen of "help"
information; any key removes it from the screen.
<Alt> +B Moves up to 32,000 bytes of text from the terminal mode
transmit/receive buffer to the text editor for editing, saving,
printing, or transmitting to a connected station. The 32K is "live"
during all 1278B text activity, in both command and converse
modes.
<Alt> +C Clears the text editor screen.
<Alt> +L Loads a file from the default path/drive.
<INS> Toggles the insert/overtype mode ON or OFF.
<Pg-Up> Moves the cursor up, one page at a time.
<Pg-Dn> Moves the cursor down, one page at a time.
<Ctrl> + <Left Arrow> Moves the cursor to the left margin.
<Ctrl> + <Right Arrow> Moves the cursor to the right margin.
