1 RED
! This HELP file written by Roger Hauck

RED is a VT100-oriented text editor.

It divides the VT100 screen into two areas: a text window and a command
area.  The text window always displays a cursor and a section of the
file being edited to either side of the cursor.  The command area
shows the command line currently being entered or executed.

Please report any favorable comments, difficulties, and bugs to
Roger Hauck or Jonathan Mark.  These reports may be made in person
or by "MAIL" to GPVAX::JONATHAN.

See the subtopics below for information on how to obtain a MANUAL and how to
IMPLEMENT RED for yourself.  NOTES gives the latest
information on new features and fixed and unfixed problems.

Version 3.0 of RED became effective today at 1pm.  It is a shared
image and therefore more efficient during heavy system loading.  There are
no new user features.  The old version of RED will be available for a
limited time under the name OLDRED.

NOVEMBER 2 1979

REPORTED BUGS & PROBLEMS:
 1)  If an illegal filename is used when issuing a GW command,
the error will not be noted until the W or J command is issued.
If this happens, issue the command FOfilename~~ with a legal
filename and then GX~~.
