if there is no file name in the command line, the following message appears:

When you start the editor, you will see its editing window:

              (hexadecimal)             

Notes:

• Numbering of lines and cursor position coordinates starts from zero.
• Tab (code 9) is not displayed in the character code field, but is considered a space (code 20h), although the tab is written to the text.

Editing is carried out using the keys:

If you take a position in the line after the last character and press DEL, then the lines will be glued together.

To search, press CTRL+S, and the following will appear:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                     YOUR TEXT IS                        │

│  [D:filename.ext]  00000: 00000:00000 [00] 00:00 *      │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

After that, a search pattern is typed (character or string) and Enter⏎ is pressed. Search is performed from top to bottom from the beginning of the text. The sample found is located at the top of the screen.

Continuation of the search: CTRL+Q.

When you press the ESC key, you will see:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                     YOUR TEXT IS                        │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

To write a file, press S, and the cursor will go to the file name editing field. After pressing Enter⏎, the file is recorded.

Note:
Editing does not work in the file name field (i.e., INS, DEL, BS)
Corrections are made by space and arrows → and ←.

Exit the editor by pressing the Q key.

Exit the editor with saving file by pressing the F10 key.

Note:
When exiting, there is no request to save and confirm the exit.

When the buffer overflows in file loading mode, the following message is displayed:

Buffer full

and any key is expected to be pressed, after which it switches to edit mode with the part of the text that fits in the buffer.

Note:
When the buffer is full, the insertion of characters and lines does not occur!

In case of disk exchange errors, the editor displays a message:

Disk I/O error: ([A]bort,[R]etry,[I]gnore)

response to it, as in MSX-DOS. (only for Abort — return to edit mode).

Note for the system programmer:
The editor disconnects the network (if there is one) and sets (38h):=0C9h; upon exit, these states are saved.
