             modify it.

          *  Open  file,Browse also opens a Qedit workfile, but prevents you
             from editing it.

          *  Browse mode protects you from making  unplanned  changes  to  a
             file and does not update the Mod-Date of the file.


   Edit Several Files at Once

          *  Qedit can supply up to eight extra scratch files.

          *  Do  Text filename,New or TJ filename to create an extra scratch
             file for a file you are Texting.

          *  The New command without parameters  creates  an  extra  scratch
             file  for  a  new  document  that does not yet have anything to
             Text.


   Improvements to the Open Command

          *  Set Open Defer On  enables  "deferred  write  access"  on  Open

             your choice.

          *  When you do an Open command from the Home line in  Screen  mode
             or  from  the  Next command? prompt, Qedit immediately displays
             the current screen of the new file.

             buffer.

          *  Qedit detects when Set Suspend should be Off.


   Compatibility

          We  have  made  two  changes  that  are  incompatible with earlier
          versions of Qedit.


   Now Assume You Don't Have a Type Ahead Engine

          To make Qedit Screen mode work with Telamon's Type  Ahead  Engine,
          you  must  now  do  Set  Vis Tae On (the default is now Off).  The
          default in Qedit used to be Set Vis Tae On, which meant that Qedit
          assumed  you  had  a  Telamon TAE.  Set Vis Tae On causes Qedit to
          send ^A "V" on entry to Screen mode and  ^A  "A"  on  exit.   Some
          non-TAE users saw the "V" or "A" on their screens.  The default is
          now Off, since many users have terminal emulators with type  ahead
          capability.


   Automatic Renumber

          In  the Add command Qedit now automatically renumbers to make room
          for lines, unless Set  Vis  Renum  is  Off.   In  the  past  Qedit
          generated  an error if there were not enough line numbers.  If you
          need the old logic in some batch job  or  command  file,  you  can
          disable automatic renumber by doing set vis renum off.




   Known Problems

          None.


   Documentation

          If you wish to print copies of the revised user  manual,  use  the
          file  Qedit.Doc.Robelle.   To  print  it  on your printer, whether
          LaserJet or line printer, run the Printdoc program.

               :run printdoc.pub.robelle

          Printdoc is menu-driven and very easy to use.  Printdoc  asks  you
          for  information,  and  if you are not sure of the answer, you can
          ask for help by typing a question mark (?).  Printdoc supports all
          types of LaserJet printers and regular line printers.

          You  can  also print documentation other than user manuals, if you
          know the filename.  If you wish, you can include the  filename  in
          the :Run command.  For example, to print this change notice, type

               :run printdoc.pub.robelle;info="qedit.docchg.robelle"


   Documentation in WinHelp Format

          The  Qedit  and  Qedit for HP-UX user manuals are now available in
          the  popular   Microsoft   Windows   WinHelp   file   format.    A
          self-extracting  file  that  includes  the  Help files and a Setup
          program  has  been  put  on  your  tape.   Use  the   installation
          instructions to install the WinHelp files on your PC.
