===== NORTON EDITOR NO STOP PATCH =====

This script will remove the request to "Press any key to begin."
when the Norto Editor is started.

This debug script will remove the added stop by writing a series
of NOP's where the normal subroutine request for a keystroke is
done in the code.

The following script could be keyed in by hand or put into a file
and a redirection of the script into debug will exchange the
subroutine request with the NOP's.


To put the patch with file redirection, key the following lines
into a file NE.SCR. The comments at the right need not be
keyed into the script file.

A 015D ;Assemble new code here
NO ;Enter a No Operation code
NO ;Enter a No Operation code
NO ;Enter a No Operation code
;This blank line is needed
;Write the file back to disk
;Quit script file.
;One extra blank on bottom.
;End of file NE.SCR is here.



Before appling the patch make a backup copy of NE.COM.

To apply the patch type at the DOS prompt,

C:\ DEBUG NE.COM


Now when the program is started, the Loggin screen will just
flash past and you will be at the top of the document.
