[vcf-midatlantic] Needed: KEdit for DOS manual

[Dan FitzGerald]

I was able to turn the prefix area on, using some of the settings from
its' "VM" sample file (which sets a lot of common VM/CMS defaults).
 Whats killing me though is that it doesn't seem to support prefix area
macros.  Traditionally on VM, you'll delete a block of text by putting
DD in the prefix area of the start line and another DD in the prefix
area of an end line and the block will be deleted.  Same thing for
copy.  I feel like I'm using XEDIT but with one hand tied behind my
back (;_;)

Yes but won't have time to scan it until the end of the month. Email me
if you haven't found a copy by then. I think you can turn on prefix
area but I didn't use it. This with its rexx language was quite
powerful for automated text manipulation.

DOS manual I'm a long-time VM/CMS XEDIT user and am trying to use the
DOS port of KEdit 5.0, an XEDIT clone.  When I try to find a copy of
the KEdit for DOS manuals online, the only thing I can find is the
KEdit for Windows manual.  Unfortunately, KEdit for DOS isn't exactly
like XEDIT -- I can't use any prefix macros so I don't know how to do
block copy and deletion.Does anybody here have a copy of the manual for
KEdit for DOS?-- Regards,Dan FitzGeraldThey/Them or She/HerClassical
