1. Copy SLED.COM, SLHED.COM to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

GETTING STARTED

        You run the editor by entering the name of the editor at the DOS
        prompt, followed by the files to be edited and the options to be
        used.  An MS-DOS machine that is not a close copy of an IBM PC may
        require use of the "slow" option.  Refer to using /S on the
        command line in the "SCREEN COLORS" section.  You will also want
        to look at the "OPTIONS" and "SCREEN COLORS" sections for all the
        ways in which the editor can be configured.

        To start with, here are three essential commands:

        Alt-H   Display a list of all the commands.  You can return to
                editing by using the escape key, or enter any command
                or text character while still viewing the help page.

        Alt-Q   Discard from memory all files being edited, terminate the
                editor, and return to DOS.  See F7 for a less drastic exit.

        Esc     The escape key will always terminate the current
                operation.  If you are being prompted for a file name or a
                search string, Esc will get you out of it.  It is always
                safe to press Esc, as it doesn't do anything itself.

                Move the cursor up 22 lines.

        PgDn
                Move the cursor down 22 lines.

        Del
                Delete the character under the cursor, or if at the
                end of a line, join the line with the cursor on it with
                the one following.

        Backspace
