EDITOR

     CP's built-in editor requires only a small amount of memory and there
is the possibility to edit files in both text and hex modes. It allows you
to edit files regardless of their length. This is achieved due to the fact
that only a part of the file to be edited is loaded into the built-in editor
at a time. As you move along the file additional portions are loaded. The
message "Working..." is often displayed when editing large files, which
notifies you that CP is busy loading another portion of the file.

    To invoke the built-in editor press the keys [F4] or [Shift-F4] (See
sections "Edit" and "Edit named").

                         Editor's panel and menu

     The editor panel looks like follows:

     The upper left corner displays the current position of the cursor in
the decimal and (hexadecimal) formats. The position displayed changes as you
move the cursor. The figure to the right of the cursor position is the
percentage of the file already edited. Next the letters showing the status
of the editor are displayed (M, I or R, B). We will explain the meaning of
these letters a bit later. The upper right corner shows the name of the file
being edited, the current time, and the indicator of the state of
case-sensitive searching.

     CP's built-in editor works in two modes: text and hexadecimal. See
Section "Other features" of this Chapter on how to switch between the editor
modes. While the editor is in hexadecimal mode the screen is split into two
uneven parts. The right part shows the file contents in ASCII-codes while
the left part displays the same text, but in hexadecimal format. The
position of the cursor in the right part corresponds to the position of
another cursor in the left part.

     There are two ways to invoke the editor menu:

1) Press the key [F9].
2) Place the mouse cursor onto the uppermost line of the screen and press
   the mouse left button.

     The editor menu is displayed in the upper line of the screen
and contains four items:

    Movement
    Deleting
    Search
    Other - General management
