                  SO WHAT ALL IS IN THESE HERE UEDIT FILES?

A whole bunch of stuff, none of which will be any use unless you are a Uedit
user.  Some of it might find its way into the standard Uedit configuration;
I've sent it to the author.  All of the material is in the public domain. 
These files mostly contain both documentation and Uedit command language in
the same text.  There are also a few ARexx scripts.  The files are:

Abbrev          Word Abbrev Mode.  You type a short word and it gets replaced
                with a longer word or phrase as soon as you press a non-
                alphabetic key.  Handy for Modula-2 programming. 

BBSing          A few commands useful for using BBSes; one strips all ANSI
                sequences and backspaces, others are for quoting text with an
                identifying "Name> " thing in front of each line.  There's
                some for transferring text with Rexx between Uedit and
                BaudBandit or VLT, for online message editing.  Associated
                with this are several rexx files, in versions for use with
                BaudBandit and with VLT:  Cap2Uedit.baud, Cap2Uedit.vlt,
                MessageSend.vlt, and Shutup-Cap2Uedit.baud.

fonts directory A font called shortibm, size 8.  It is a variant of the font
                called cleanibm, which is missing the first four characters. 
                Uedit 2.6a cannot use a font that has actual printable
                characters for ascii values 1-3.  This font enables Uedit to
                (mostly) display IBM special characters.

Paging          New versions of the paging commands L-v, L-y, L-d, and L-r,
                which I think should become standard.  The new L-r can handle
                existing unnumbered formfeeds instead of breaking pages only
                by length.  The new L-d makes an educated guess as to when it
                should leave a blank line where the page break was.  The old
                versions of these commands were probably the lamest commands
                in the config.  Variables clobbered, values looked up and
                never used...  and the new L-r is smaller and simpler.  One
                feature some might object to is that L-d now moves upward
                instead of downward (deletes the previous page break).  I did
                this because sometimes deleting downward can cause a bunch of
                blank lines to be sucked upward past sForm, so they get left
                in when they should be erased.  You can make it go forward
                again if you really want to, but the backward version is much
                closer to being an accurate "undo" for L-v and L-r.

Ctl-Click       New version of ctl-buttondown and several related functions.
                Uses my fast directory listing program Dr instead of Dir. 
                Also a version that uses regular Dir.  That version may want
                to become standard.  You can drag the mouse over file and
                directory names with spaces in them, and using one common
                routine (virtual-y) for alt-z and ctl-click-whitespace-F2
                makes it smaller and more uniform.

U               This is a CLI / shell command for loading files into Uedit
Ue-load.rexx    using ARexx.  It starts Uedit if it's not running, loads the
U.doc           named files into it, and optionally makes them read-only or
                changes Uedit's current directory to that where the command
                is given.  U.doc explains how to set it up.

AutoTraffic     Contains a method of having save-on-idle and auto-traffic
                at the same time (a kludge) and a thing for processing rexx
                messages written in Uedit command language.  (At one time I
                used this as my complete auto-traffic handler, but now it's
                integrated with the Zimmerman interface so you go "COMPILE
		blah blah a bunch of Uedit CL blah blah", and it compiles and
                runs it.)

Match           Commands for ) and } which cause the matching ( or { to be
                displayed as invert until you press another key, if it's on
                the screen.  (Clobbers existing invert locations.)

Printing        A few little functions that I find useful in printing. 
                Intended as general suggestions only; the details are
                probably not suitable for the majority of users.

Indent.UEK      UEK versions of a few of the functions in Indent (see below)
                which are faster because they tweak the display flags to
                avoid setting PAGE_ when only the cursor line is changed.

Indent          New versions of old extras files.  The commands in Delete
Indent.doc      replace the standard scratch-delete cut and paste commands.
Delete          These new versions remember the last eight chunks of deleted
Delete.doc      text instead of just one, and are improved other ways.  Indent
                is a bunch of commands for changing the indentation of one
                line or several by amounts unrelated to your current tab
                stops, plus a collection of small miscellaneous commands.
