### WHAT IT IS ###############################################################

1366 mateusz.vi 8
The SvarDOS editor (SVED) is designed for basic editing of configuration files
9
and such. It is NOT meant to be a full-featured text editor. On the pro side,
10
it has a low memory footprint and is only a couple kilobytes big, which makes
1411 mateusz.vi 11
it a good fit for bootdisks and systems with extremely limited resources.

### USAGE AND KEY BINDINGS ###################################################
33
 
34
Navigation within the text file is achieved through the usual, standard keys:
35
 - up, down, right and left arrows
36
 - PageUp / PageDown
37
 - Home / End
38
 
1410 mateusz.vi 39
On top of these, the following key bindings are available:
1354 mateusz.vi 40
 
1410 mateusz.vi 41
ESC        = access the program's menu
42
CTRL+RIGHT = jump to next word
43
CTRL+LEFT  = jump to previous word
44
CTRL+C     = copy the current line to clipboard
45
CTRL+X     = cut the current line and move it to clipboard
46
CTRL+V     = paste the clipboard content to current location
1354 mateusz.vi 47
 
1366 mateusz.vi 48
SVED can load up to 10 files simultaneously. To switch from one file to
1410 mateusz.vi 49
another use the F1..F10 function keys (F1 = file 1, F2 = file 2, etc).

### MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT #####################################################
53
 
1397 mateusz.vi 54
The LNG file contains non-english strings. It should be placed in the same
55
directory where the program's executable resides. The UI language is
1366 mateusz.vi 56
controlled by the LANG environment variable, for example SET LANG=PL would
57
make it display polish strings.
58
 
1397 mateusz.vi 59
If you rename the SVED.COM executable (for example to EDIT.COM), then you need
60
to rename the LNG file accordingly (for example to EDIT.LNG).
1366 mateusz.vi 61
 
1397 mateusz.vi 62
You can safely delete the LNG file if you do not need non-english UI and wish
63
to free some disk space.
