     unmarks a block in the active text window. In this mode, a block can

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSION 1.02     14 September 1995
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW: "Window Monitor" dialog displays the names of all opened files.
     You can keep this dialog open during an editing session, so you
     will always have a quick overview of opened files. The list is updated
     in case a new file is loaded or a file has been closed.
     You can also use the dialog to switch to a file.
     Savable configuration options: keep resident
                                    size
                                    position
                                    font
                                    filename display mode (with/without path)


NEW: a dialog is displayed when you have requested to exit Mr.Ed
     but there are files with unsaved changes. This dialog allows you to
     choose the files you wish to save before the editor exits. You can save
     all the displayed files, select those you wish to save, or save none.

NEW: print text/block function. An optional header can be printed on each page
     containing the file name, date, time and pagenumber.

NEW: wordwrap function. Wordwrapping is performed dynamically during you
     type in new text. Also a text or a selected block may be reformatted
     on demand.

NEW: line centering function

NEW: backtab function (SHIFT+Tab)

NEW: a popup menu (right mouse button)

NEW: configuration option "Use one program instance". If this option
     is enabled, only the first instance of Mr.Ed is loaded into memory.
     As long as this instance runs, the parameters of following calls to
     Mr.Ed will be passed to that first instance. In other words, you can
     start Mr.Ed via commandline/icon several times and pass the names
     of files to be opened, but all files are loaded into new text windows
     in the same Mr.Ed main window.
     This helps to save memory and desktop space.

NEW: configuration option "Open file in active text window". If this option
     is enabled, a new file is loaded (via Open...) into the active text
     window. Else a new text window is created before a file is opened.

NEW: a block is automatically unmarked before a new block is marked

NEW: Import function (menu "File") inserts a file at the current
     cursor position

FIX: changing the shortcut of a disabled menu option works now if you
     press [CNTRL] before you pull down the menu.
