DESCRIPTION

	FrexxEd is probably the most configurable/programmable text editor made
	for the Amiga. It uses the one-window concept, where a multiple of
	views are displayed in the same window.

	The main mission with FrexxEd has been to create an editor which is
        capable of doing whatever *YOU* want it to. To enable *very* much
        reprogramming/configuration for those who feel the need.

	Some of FrexxEd's features are:

	o 100% recursive undo, changeable undobuffer size and on/off toggle
	o unlimited number of buffers/blocks/macros in memory
	o unlimited line lengths and buffer sizes
	o 100% programmable, everything can be done by a script instead of
	  interactive
	o *very* C-like programming language (FPL)
	o clipboard support, export to/import from any unit
	o uses V39-style memory pools
	o V39 aware, uses V39 functions when available
	o AppIcon/AppWindow support
	o Window/Screen/Backdrop
	o file name extension aware icon usage
	o supports locale library, 7 languages are supported at the moment
	o easy macro record/edit/view/play/save/load
	o customizeable look of any ASCII character (to i.e enable the inverse
	  CED-look or the \xxx Emacs-look or...)
	o programmable keyassigns, make any key do anything
	o programmable mouseactions, make any mouse action perform whatever
	  you want it to
	o rectangular/column style block marks and block pastes
	o programmable menustrip, make it contain whatever you please!
	o supports XPK and PowerPacker compression/decompression and
	  encryption/decryption.
	o startup-script that loads any file into a running editor
	o >400K documentation in amigaguide format
	o works just as good used with gfx hardware like Retina, GVP Spectrum,
	  Piccolo, Picasso II, A2024, AGA, ECS or OCS...
	o of course useable on any screenmode
	o ARexx port, capable of reading and writing ARexx variables!
	o A *LOT* of additional scripts that perform a multitude of different
	  things. From mousedragging-style blockmarking, archive-flag removal
	  when saving, center line, binary editor, snake game, incremental
	  search, interactive C indenting and word wrap to generic assembler
	  filters, bookmarks, backup, autosave and programs that easy
	  interfaces RCS...
	o Supports file comments
	o Custom keymap support
	o optional "safe save", save with temp name and then rename
	o easily exchangeable images for icon creations/usage
	o binary loading/editing/saving
	o unlimited key sequence lengths
	o ability to clone the public screen when opened as a window on such
	o font sensitive GUI
	o line number mode supported, start each line with the line number
	o ability to replace/change the workings of any internal function
	  through an advanced hooking procedure
	o mailing list and other eletronic mail support
        o runs smoothly with virtual memory managers like VMM
        o search/replace history

NEW FEATURES (since 1.0)

	o Lots of bugs removed.
	o FPL execute path
	o Iconify()/Deiconify() uses appicon
	o CursorActive() controls the cursor visibility
	o 'FileChanged' is a new exception
	o Write protected files can't be modified with the 'rwed_sensitive'
	  flag set.
	o Now runs with/uses overscan.
	o A lot of New and updated FPL programs
        o Doubleclick on appicon generates an exception which does a
          WindowToFront() by default.
        o Full regular expression search/replace, Emacs/UNIX style.
        o RequstWindow() supports listviews sent as string arrays from FPL
        o Smaller and faster executable
        o fpl.library v10 with lots of new features (100% ANSI C style when
          dealing with the &&, || and ?: operators, built-in sprintf() and
          more).
        o Now supports backwards replace.
        o Time controlled function invokes! Once or repeated.
        o "YankBuffer" is now viewable/editable/controllable like any other
          named block buffer.
        o KeyPress() receives the FPL program assigned to a key sequence.
        o Sort() sorts the items in a string array.
        o ReplaceMatch() performs a sort of manual replace substitution.
        o Bsearch() binary searches in a sorted string array
        o Stcgfn() and Stcgfp() returns the file or path part from a specified
          file name string.
        o and much, much more...
