Usage:

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

</code>

__//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.

====== Text navigation ======
|<key>↓</key>, <key>↑</key>, <key>→</key>, <key>←</key>|move cursor to the desired spot|
|<key>CTRL + ↓</key>, <key>CTRL + ↑</key>|page flipping|
|<key>CTRL + →</key>, <key>CTRL + ←</key>|move cursor to next/previous word|
|<key>CTRL + v</key>|move to the beginning of text|
|<key>SHIFT + CTRL + V</key>|move to end of text|

====== Editing ======
The following keys can be used for editing a text:

|<key>DEL</key>|delete current character|
|<key>BS</key>|delete character to the left from the cursor|
|<key>INS</key>|insert mode (on/off)|
|<key>CTRL+DEL</key> \\ or \\ <key>CTRL+k</key>|delete line|
|<key>CTRL+INS</key>|insert line|
|<key>CTRL+e</key>|delete the line to the right from the cursor|
|<key>CTRL + Enter ⏎</key>|insert empty line|

If you press <key>DEL</key> at the end of a line, the previous line will be merged with the current one.

====== Search ======

Press <key>CTRL+s</key> to search, the editor will ask you to enter the text to search:
<code>
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                     YOUR TEXT IS                        │
~                         HERE                            ~
~                                                         ~
~                                                         ~
│                                                         │
│  Search:▊────────────────────────────────────────────── │
│  [D:filename.ext]  00000: 00000:00000 [00] 00:00 *      │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
</code>

After the search character or string is input and <key>Enter ⏎</key> is pressed, the search will be performed from the beginning to the end of the text. If the match is found, it will be located at the top of the screen.

To continue searching using the same pattern press <key>CTRL+q</key>.
====== Exit and write file ======

Pressing the <key>ESC</key> key will display the output or exiting options:
<code>
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                     YOUR TEXT IS                        │
~                         HERE                            ~
~                                                         ~
~                                                         ~
│                                                         │
│  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────── │
│  [D:filename.ext]  Select: [S]ave [Q]uit [ESC]-continue │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
</code>
To save current text into a file, press <key>s</key>, and the cursor will go to the filename editing field. Type the desired name and press <key>Enter ⏎</key>. The file will be saved with the specified name.

__//Note://__
\\ File name editing will ignore certain keys: <key>INS</key>, <key>DEL</key>, <key>BS</key>
\\ The corrections are made by <key>Space</key> and cursor keys <key>→</key> and <key>←</key>.

To exit the editor, press the <key>q</key> key.

To quickly exit the editor and save the currently edited file, press the <key>F10</key> key.

__//Note://__
\\ When exiting with <key>F10</key>, there is no request to save the file and to confirm exiting the editor.

====== Notifications and error messages ======

When there's not enough memory to edit the opened text file, the following message is displayed:
<code>
Buffer full
</code>
In this case only the partially loaded file can be edited after pressing any key. And only a part of the file will be saved, so it's advised to choose a different name when saving the edited file.

__//Note://__
\\ When the buffer is full, further editing will not be possible!

In case of disk errors, the editor displays the following message:
<code>
Disk I/O error: ([A]bort,[R]etry,[I]gnore)
</code>
Using ''Abort'' will return to the editing mode. You can also retry saving or loading the file by selecting ''Retry''. Using ''Ingore'' will ignore the error, but may lead to corrupted file being saved or loaded.

__//Note for the experienced programmers://__
\\ The editor disconnects the classroom network (if there is one) and sets (38h):=0C9h; upon exit. Network is not enabled upon exit and the 38h vector is not restored.
