joe

Joe's Own Editor joe is a WordStar clone with all the features found in

that ancient piece of CP/M code. The control K sequences are the same as

in the original, so anyone familiar with WordStar can just use joe without

thinking about learning new commands. For those not familiar with this word

processor the following will be a good start:

 K H

Toggle the help screen on and off.

 K D

Save the current edit session.

 K X

Save the current edit session and exit.

 K Z

Suspend the editor for the shell.

 C

Abort the current edit session. (don't save the file)

With the help screen you can find out how to select a block of text, move or

copy the block. Word search and replace are also available along with a spell

checker.

When a file is saved with joe it automatically moves the original file to original 

file name . The makes it easy to identify the backup edit session, but it only

reflects the last edit session, so older contents will be lost.
