a/  This file demonstrates some of the new commands/
a/  that have been added to Editor 2000 by Mark Knight./
a//
a/  The new Editor is even more powerful than the old, though/
a/  much of it remains the same./

t e/?// ba ce
a//
a/  Yes, Editor 2000 can add up columns of figures!/
a/  The command is the BA (Block Add) command which places/
a/  the total of the current column block at the cursor/
a/  position./
ap1"Press ENTER to continue"
btc t cs bs b ce be bd
a/  And just so you realise how flexible this command is.../

a/  Yes, that's ten figures, all accurate!/

a/  Another useful command that has been added is the/
a/  DM command, which deletes multiple instances of the/
a/  same text./
ap1"Press ENTER to continue"
btc t cs bs b ce be bd
a/  As an example, if you are building an index using a/
a/  command file you may end up with duplicate entries thus:/
a//
a/File Load/
a/File Save/
a/File Save/
a/File Save/
a/Help/
a/Invoke Macro/
a/Invoke Macro/
a//
a/  If we position the cursor on the first entry, "File Load"/
a/  and then execute the following command line:/
a//
a/  rp dm n/
ap1"Press ENTER to continue"
a//
a/  ...see what happens to the list!/
t rp dm n
ap1"Press ENTER to continue"
t cs bs b ce be btc bd
a/  The DM command can also be used to remove unwanted multiple/
a/  blank lines, sometimes obtained when using command files to/
a/  process "alien" files and make them into raw text files or/
a/  Editor document files./
a//
a//
a//
a//
ap1"Press ENTER to continue"
a/  Like this.../
a//
a//
a//
a//
a/  ...and this./
t rp ns dm
b a//
a/  That was done with the following command line:/
a//
a/  t rp ns dm/
ap1"Press ENTER to continue"
btc t cs bs b ce be bd
a/  The next area that has recieved attention is sorting./
a//
a/  Sorting data is always at least as fast as in Editor 2.05/
a/  and can be as much as 70% faster.  In addition, there are/
a/  now three sorting modes and commands to switch between/
a/  them./
t f/at least/ bs 2(cw) 2(cl) be
ap1"Press ENTER to continue"
btc t cs bs b ce be bd
a/  The OS command selects the default "Order System" mode/
a/  which is the same as Editor's only sort mode previously./
a/  This sorts strings into the default sort order given by/
a/  the operating system, which means it varies from one QL/
a/  ROM to another, again under Minerva, and yet again if/
a!  running under SMSQ/E.  It is, however, the fastest sort!
a/  mode./
ap1"Press ENTER to continue"
btc t cs bs b ce be bd
a/  The OC command selects "Order Codewise" mode which is a/
a/  bit slower, but always sorts in exactly the same order as/
a/  it compares the ASCII codes of the characters in the block/
a/  to determine the sort order./
a//
a/  Finally, the OA command selects "Order Alphabetical" mode,/
a/  which is like "Order System" except that the case of/
a/  characters is ignored./
ap1"Press ENTER to continue"
t cs bs b ce be bd
a/  To see these in action, the following routines will present/
a/  some data, then sort it using the three modes/
a/  in turn.  After each sort, the command line will be/
a/  displayed so you can see which mode was used./

a/  That was:/
a//

ap1"Press ENTER to continue"
a//
a/  Note that the order using OA may (and often will)/
a/  differ from OS as with OA the order of two strings/
a/  like "Alligator" and "alligator" is undefined/
a/  (effectvely random) after using OA but is fixed after OS./
a//
a/  For more details see the new manual or "Editor3_TXT"./

a/  Oh, and you can now sort in descending order using the/
a/  new "D" qualifier for the SQ command, e.g. "os sqd".

a/  You can also use a new filetype, "Structured" files,/
a/  with two new commands.  This is for editing/
a/  program files such as 'C', PASCAL, FORTH, Assembly/
a/  Language etc./
a//
a/  This is not something that can be demonstrated/
a/  in a command file, as it simply changes the/
a/  behavior of Editor when editing files from the/
a/  keyboard.  For details, read "Editor3_TXT" or the new/
a/  manual in the Editor document file "Editor_EDOC"./
