MANUAL FOR WINEDIT (BBC BASIC) This file describes the program WINEDIT which is a function that gives a standardised method of text entry to any BBC BASIC program.The useage is supposed to look like the text entry boxes present in RISC OS.These allow cursor editing of the entered text,which is also centred in the box,and scrolled from right to left. The manual and software is (C)1997 SPROW INSTRUCTIONS- At the BASIC prompt,type CHAIN"WINEDIT" The program has tacked onto it an example call - to isolate just the routine itself,simply delete the first few lines. The parameters passed when calling the function allow the setting of: 1)Default string - eg."TextFile" 2)Window width - odd numbers will work best 3)Max length - a beep (VDU7) is emitted if the string is too long 4)Window position - where on the screen the box is to appear. 5)Background colour - your choice. 6)A string of characters to reject - eg."#* " for filenames The cursor editing status,using *FX4 is preserved during the FN. You'll need to reset any windows you had,and also the background text colour. KNOWN PROBLEMS/FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS- No known problems HISTORY- V1.00 See REM statements at the start of the file.
