Chapter 12 - ED Editor

A text editor or word processing program is necessary for creating or editing text files and script files. Amiga Workbench software comes with the ED text editor, which has the basic functionality of a word processor. However, ED does not support style formatting options, such as italics, page numbering, or different fonts. This chapter describes how to use ED, including the following:

ED is a full screen ASCII text editor that uses menus and function keys to access its features. It is easy to use and is suitable for editing scripts, startup files, MountLists, and other simple files. Use either a mouse or the keyboard to perform operations with ED. Although ED's menus are preprogrammed, when you are familiar with the program, you can reconfigure them as needed.
