A window is a bordered screen area that you can move, resize, zoom, rearrange, close, and open. 


You can have any number of windows open on the desktop (as long as there is enough memory), but only one window can be active at any time. The active window is the one that you're currently working in. It always has a double-lined border around it, and it always has these elements: ˆ

You can enter ASCII codes directly from the keyboard - hold down Alt key, enter ASCII code from the numeric keypad and release Alt key. d

You can enter characters in this way into an active edit window or into Search/Replace dialog box. W

Another method of entering ASCII codes into an active window is by using ASCII Table. ¶

In order to enter special characters (with ASCII codes < 32) into Search/Replace dialog box first press Ctrl-K and then a combination of keys corresponding to that character, e.g.: ² - Ctrl-K Ctrl-A gives character #1
- Ctrl-K Ctrl-B gives character #2

a range of characters. For example,
"[b-o]" matches any character from "b"
through "o".

â''< VGA Installation Procedure Ü
ßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß


If you have a VGA graphics card that supports other screen modes than the standard ones (e.g. 132 columns) Vision Edit is capable of using those screen modes. However, before other screen modes can be used, you have to install them by following the procedure described below: Ê


1) If you have one of the following graphic cards: ERGO-VGA, SPEEDSTAR, or TRIDENT go to step 3. If your VGA card manual lists all supported text modes go to step 2. Otherwise, run TESTMODE.EXE (provided with Vision Edit) and write down all useful text modes (note mode #, # lines, and # columns) from 0-255. TESTMODE.EXE displays all the necessary information to use it (to count the number of lines use down arrow key and go to the bottom of the screen). Ç

2) Run MAKEDRV.EXE program (provided with Vision Edit) and create a new driver for your card by selecting Driver|New menu function. Enter all screen modes identified in step 1 and exit the program. m

3) Copy a created (or selected) driver (*.DRV) to Vision Edit home directory and rename it to STANDARD.DRV. ”

4) Start Vision Edit and select Options|Change Screen Mode menu function. You should be able to see a dialog box containing all your screen modes. ,
