Everest is a easy to learn ASCII text editor. Listed below are just 
some of the tasks Everest is ideal for:

- HTML authoring
- Email editor
- Programming
- Text entry prior to further processing via other programs (e.g. TeX)
- Editing configuration files without changing the existing text format
- Writing batch files


Everest offers the following features:

- Runs with all TOS compatible computers and with all known hardware 
  extensions (apart from ST low resolution (320x200).
- Fast scrolling on all models.
- No cursor overrun (or similar annoying glitches)
- Standard GEM interface
- OLGA support for interactive connectivity with other OLGA aware 
  applications.
- Turbo C Editor compatible keyboard shortcuts
- Capable of loading large files without problems
- Almost every command can be controlled via the keyboard, drop down 
  menus or dialogs (including block marking!).
- Supports GDOS (monospaced) fonts, provided GDOS (or GDOS replacement 
  such as NVDI) is installed (The fonts supplied with Gemini
  are particularly recommended).
- No separate external RSC file, so Everest is well suited to residing 
  outside folders on the root directory.
- Everest employs dynamic memory allocation to leave the maximum 
  possible memory for other applications. Ideal for multitasking 
  environments and accessories.
- Hard tabs.
- GEM Clipboard support.
- Turbo-C Help Accessory and 1STGUIDE support.
- Up to 10 open files - although most TOS versions only support seven 
  open windows various utilities are available to increase this limit, 
  WINX is recommended for TOS. Most of the alternative operating 
  systems support more than ten windows).
- Wildcards
- File Lists
- Abbreviations (Krzels)


1.1 Files and file structure
============================

Everest is suited for editing standard ASCII files. The line ending is 
defined by the code 10 or the codes 13,10. Maximum line length is 300.
Unfortunately it is not possible to edit files that contain Null 
Characters, i.e. characters with ASCII Code 0. Everest allows an 
alternative character to be specified to replace the Null Character.

To use Everest only the file EVEREST.PRG is needed, however the 
following files make Everest even easier to use:

a) INF File: EVEREST.INF
   Everest creates or updates this file using the 'Save setup' option 
   from the 'Parameters' drop down menu. EVEREST.INF contains all 
   configurable parameters from the 'Parameters' drop down menu with 
   additional Search/Replace, printer and window position parameters. 
   After registration your name and key is can also be saved in the INF 
   file.
   
Important!
   Distribution of an INF file containing registered user details is 
   NOT allowed! Please be careful if you re-distribute your copy.
   
   If you want to return to Everest and find everything exactly as you 
   left it use 'Save setup' to create or update EVEREST.INF.

b) File lists: EVEREST.LIS by default
   A file list is a standard ASCII file that should have the extension 
   LIS.
   Each line has the following structure:
   
         
     =
   
   , , ,  are the window coordinates, 1000 is maximum 
   screen width/ height.
    is the number of the function key you have to press 
   to top the corresponding window. If the window number is zero the 
   file is loades as an Abbreviation File.
    is the number of the function key you have to press 
   to jump to this label.
    is the line number the label points to.
   = can to be repeated if there's more than 
   one label set for this file.
   
   These parameters may be omitted beginning from the right.
   If a file list is created with Everest, the names of all currently 
   loaded and named files and the window layout is written to this 
   list. So you can easily save and restore complete working layouts 
   with several file lists.

c) Abbreviation files: EVEREST.KRZ by default
   An Abbreviation file is a standard ASCII file in which contains each 
   line contains a definition of frequently used words. Abbreviations 
   files are case sensitive and defined as follows:

1) Commonly used text, entered directly:
   For example, a line 'Something to abbreviate' can be expanded by by 
   typing 'Som' or 'Someth' then pressing the [Esc] key.
   You only need to enter enough characters to uniquely identify your 
   desired expansion. If there are no other lines beginning with 'S' 
   then 'S[Esc]' would be enough to expand the abbreviation to 
   'Something to abbreviate'.
   Everest takes the word to the left of the cursor as the word to 
   search for an abbreviation. For example 'Something to[Esc]' will not 
   be expanded, because the word 'to' specifies the abbreviation. If 
   the abbreviation is too short this may have more than one possible 
   expansion, obviously this is more likely to happen when attempting 
   to expand a single character. Everest searchs in alphabetical order 
   and uses the first (legitimate) expansion it finds.

2) Abbreviations (Krzels) where the abbbreviation is different to the 
   expansion:
   In these cases the abbreviation and the expansion must be separated 
   using an '=' equals character. For example, if the Abbreviation file 
   contains the line 'stoa =Something to abbreviate' typing 'stoa[Esc]' 
   or 'st[Esc]' replaces the abbreviation with the expansion 'Something 
   to abbreviate'.

3) Auto-detected single character abbreviations:
   All single character abbreviations are expanded immediately without 
   typing [Esc].
   This is particularly useful for HTML or TeX authoring. For example 
   typing the pound sign 'œ' can be automatically expanded to the HTML 
   standard '£' - or anything else you like!

Using the '~' tilde character it's possible to determine the cursor 
position after expansion, here's an example: The Abbreviation file 
contains the line 'writeln(~);'. Type 'w[Esc]' to expand to 
'writeln();' and you will find the cursor positioned between the 2 
brackets.

Use the '=' equals character to define abbreviations with line feeds. 
Here's an example: The abbreviation file contains the following lines:

if=IF (~) THEN BEGIN
  = =END

After typing 'if[Esc]' you will get:

IF () THEN BEGIN
  
END

with the cursor positioned inside the brackets. Each abbreviation can 
contain up to a maximum of 1000 lines.

Word separator characters like "-.,:;_[} cannot be used within an 
abbreviation. But there's an exception: At the end of an abbreviation 
it is possible! So you can define the following abbreviations:

test.:.,)(
t{=test{~}

If you type 't{[Esc]' this will be expanded to test{} with the cursor 
between the two brackets. If you type 'test.:.,[Esc]' or 'test[Esc]' 
both will be expanded to 'test.:.,)('.

Abbreviations do not even have to be defined yet can still be used to 
expand commonly used words! Try hitting the [Esc] key after typing the 
start of a word and if this isn't defined in the abbreviation file 
Everest searches the current text for a word with the same beginning. 
If found this word is used as the defintion for the expansion.


1.2 Getting Started with EVEREST.PRG
====================================

If you are using an unregistered version, a dialog box appears, 
offering you a chance to enter your registration details. After 
registrating and saving the INF file this dialog will no longer appear 
on starting Everest.

Everest can be called from a command line or a shell. Additionally (for 
example using Thing, Gemini or NeoDesk) and multiple files can be 
'Drag&Dropped' onto the Everest icon for automatic opening and editing. 
Optionally the line or line/column position for the cursor can be 
passed as parameters. (The first line/column position has the number 
one, zero is interpreted as one).
To search for a file Everest uses the GEM function 'SHEL_FIND', and 
takes into account the actual entry in the 'PATH' environment variable.
If 'EVEREST' is defined as an environment variable Everest will search 
this path for its configuration file EVEREST.INF.
If 'EVEREST' is not defined as an environment variable Everest will 
search the path defined under the 'PATH' environment variable, using 
'SHEL_FIND', for its configuration file EVEREST.INF.
The file EVEREST.KRZ will also be searched for in the same directory as 
EVEREST.INF and if found will be used as default Abbreviation file.

If the command line does not specify a file to load EVEREST.LIS will be 
searched for and used as the standard file list.
If there is only one file with the extension LIS in the command line 
this file will be taken as the standard file list (instead of 
EVEREST.LIS).
If you quit Everest automatically saving the standard file list, then 
this file is used.

Problems:
If Everest cannot find its INF, LIS or KRZ files when the program is 
launched, TOS searches for these files (via SHEL_FIND). Some older TOS 
versions take drive A: as the boot device and not the hard disk - so a 
bad PATH environment for GEM is created. The problem is, 'SHEL_FIND' 
thnn looks at drive A, even if it doesn't contain a disk.
All these problems will vanish if you save EVEREST.INF and an (empty) 
file list (EVEREST.LIS) and an (empty) abbreviation file (EVEREST.KRZ) 
in the same directory as EVEREST.PRG. Another possibility would be to 
try an alternative hard disk driver or Auto folder program which 
installs a correct PATH evironment before GEM is installed.

Nearly all commands offer keyboard shortcuts. These are shown on the 
right in drop down menu commands and as underlined characters in dialog 
and alert boxes.

2.1 Everest
===========

- About Everest
  A dialog box appears containing the copyright message and version 
  number. Select 'Info' to display the registration dialog and your 
  personal key details. This dialog box is the same as the dialog 
  displayed after starting an unregistered version of Everest.
  After entering your registration details the file selector appears 
  which can be used to save your details in 'EVEREST.INF'. This 
  registration method means that (unless the INF file format is 
  changed) you can use your existing INF file with future Everest 
  releases.
  
  
2.2 File
========

- New ([Control]+N)
  A new untitled file is opened in memory. The first time an untitled 
  file is saved a proper filename must be entered via the file 
  selector.

- Open ([Control]+O)
  The file selector is appears and after selecting a filename the text 
  is loaded into memory. If the loaded file is not in ASCII format the 
  display may well contain garbage characters!

- Merge ([Control]+M)
  The file selector appears enabling an existing file to be selected 
  and merged into the existing text. If a block is marked, it's 
  replaced by the merged text.

- Close ([Control]+U)
  If the text has been changed a dialog box appears offering a last 
  chance to save the text before it is removed from memory. If the text 
  is unchanged the file is immediately closed and removed from memory.

- Save ([Control]+S)
  The text is saved under the filename and path shown in the window 
  title bar. The window remains open so that the file can be further 
  edited.

- Save as ([Control]+M)
  The file selector appears enabling a filename and path to be entered. 
  After saving a dialog box appears from which either the original or 
  the new filename and path can be chosen for the name of the file 
  being edited.
  If a block is marked a dialog box appears offering a choice between 
  saving the entire file or just the marked block.
  If the file already exists, a warning message appears and you can 
  decide whether to overwrite the existing file or cancel the 
  operation.

- Cycle windows ([Control]+W)
  Each window in turn becomes the topmost window.

- Save changes ([Shift]+[Control]+S)
  Saves every changed file. Untitled files are not affected.

- Close all ([Shift]+[Control]+U)
  Each window is closed. To define the handling of changed files, use 
  the Program exit parameters option.

- Print/Printer parameters ([Control]+P)
  Use this option to print the text in the active window. Before 
  printing or if no window active, you can change the printer 
  parameters:
  Convert Atari 'á' to IBM 'á'; when enabled (crossed) this option 
  enables the 'á' character to be printed in IBM compatible printer 
  modes.

  Send page break after specified number of lines; when enabled 
  (crossed) page breaks will be generated by Everest, many printers 
  with sheet feeders don't need this option.
  
  Send formfeed after end of text; when enabled the paper is ejected 
  after printing.

  Left margin width; by entering a number of space characters before 
  each line it is possible to move the left margin to the right as 
  desired.
  If a block is marked a dialog box appears offering a choice between 
  printing the entire file or the marked block only.
  
- Quit ([Control]+Q)
  If all open files are unchanged Everest will quit. Edited files are 
  handled according to the parameters set in the 'Program exit' menu 
  option.
  You can also quit the editor via [Control]+Numeric keypad. All 
  changed files will be saved and Everest sends the return code to the 
  program that invoked Everest.


2.3 Block
=========

The block function follows the widely adopted Cut, Copy, Paste 
principle. This works as follows, a text block is marked (block marking 
methods are explained later) and displayed in reverse video. Using the 
Cut or Copy options from the 'Block' menu places the marked text into 
block memory where it is stored until the next time the Cut or Copy 
command is used. Text stored in block memory can be inserted into the 
text at the cursor position using the Paste or Copy commands.

Block marking methods:

a) Using the mouse;
   Position the mouse over the desired starting point for the block 
   then click and hold down the left mouse button. Move the mouse to 
   the desired end point for the block and release the mouse button. 
   The marked block will be displayed in reverse video. If you move the 
   mouse over the window border the window will automatically scroll in 
   that direction.
  
   If a block is already marked the start/end positions of the block 
   can be easily changed. Hold down either [Shift] Key and click using 
   the mouse on the desired new block start/end position. The text 
   between the new position and the existing start/end position is now 
   shown marked in reverse video.
  
   Another method of marking a block is to position the cursor at the 
   desired start/end point and holding down either [Shift] Key click 
   the mouse on the other start/end point. The text between the cursor 
   and the mouse position will be marked and displayed in reverse 
   video.
  
   Double click on any bracket ({[]}) and the text between this bracket 
   and it's matching opening/closing bracket will be marked and 
   displayed in reverse video. If no matching bracket is found no text 
   will be marked and the error bell will sound.
  
   Double click on any word and the word will be marked and displayed 
   in reverse video.

   Important!
   If a line containing a configured error message (refer to Chapter 
   2.6 for a detailed explanation of error messages) is double clicked 
   on, it is not marked but instead the corresponding error location is 
   jumped to.
  
   Triple click to mark a paragraph. The paragraph's ending is defined 
   in the 'Formatting parameters' menu. You can also double click 
   whilst holding the [Control] key down instead of triple clicking.

b) Using the keyboard;
   Pressing [Control]+A positions the block start point at the cursor 
   position and enters block marking mode. The cursor is moved to mark 
   the desired text, which is displayed in reverse video. All the 
   commands which reposition the cursor are available, the arrow keys, 
   keyboard shortcuts and drop down menu options (eg. the 'Search', 'Go 
   to label' and 'Go to line' options). The window automatically 
   scrolls in the appropriate direction to display the cursor. Normal 
   text entry is temporarily suspended in this mode. Pressing 
   [Control]+A a second time exits block marking mode. [Control]+I also 
   selects the word at the actual cursor position.

c) Using the keyboard and mouse in combination.


Commands:

- Delete & Delete line ([Control]+Y)
  Deletes the marked block. If no block is marked, the line the cursor 
  is on is deleted.

- Cut & Cut line ([Control]+X)
  The marked text block is removed from the active window and stored in 
  the block memory. If no block is marked the line the cursor is on is 
  cut.

- Copy & Copy line ([Control]+C)
  The marked text is copied into the block memory. If no block is 
  marked the line the cursor the cursor is on is copied into block 
  memory.

- Paste ([Control]+V)
  The text stored in the block memory is inserted at the cursor 
  position. If a block is marked the contents of the marked block is 
  deleted and replaced with the text stored in the block memory. The 
  block end point is automatically adjusted and remains marked and 
  displayed in reverse video.

- Paragraph format ([Control]+Z)
  The marked block will be formatted as a paragraph. If no block is 
  marked then the paragraph at the actual cursor position is taken. The 
  right margin can be defined in the 'Formatting parameters' menu with 
  the option 'Word wrap/line length'. The second line of a paragraph 
  defines the left margin.

- Indent left/right ([Control]+J or K)
  Moves a marked block left or right. [Control] over indentation is 
  provided in the 'Formatting parameters' option in the 'Parameters' 
  menu. This option is of particular benefit to programmers and comms 
  users.

- Set block start ([Control]+A)
  Activates block marking using the keyboard. The cursor is moved to 
  mark the desired text, which is displayed in reverse video. All the 
  commands which reposition the cursor are available, the arrow keys, 
  keyboard shortcuts and drop down menu options (eg. the 'Search', 'Go 
  to label' and 'Go to line' options). The window automatically scrolls 
  in the appropriate direction to display the cursor. Normal text entry 
  is temporarily suspended in this mode. Pressing [Control]+A a second 
  time exits block marking mode.
  It's obviously not sensible to select this option using the mouse and 
  is only included for completeness. It does however, serve as a 
  reminder of the keyboard shortcut!

- Select word ([Control]+I)
  The word under the current cursor position is marked as a block. 
  Typing [Control]+I twice automatically opens the 'Search' dialog with 
  the selected word ready to use.


2.4 Search
==========

- Search ([Control]+F)
  Attempts to find a character string (maximum 43 characters) within 
  the active window. A dialog box appears into which the search 
  character string is entered.

  Parameters:
  Direction; the search direction can be either forwards or backwards 
  from the current cursor position. If the search fails and the 
  start/end of the text is reached the direction is automatically 
  reversed if the 'Auto reverse search direction' option in the 'Screen 
  elements' dialog is enabled.

  Match upper/lower case; when enabled (crossed) the case of the search 
  string will be matched, otherwise the case of the search string is 
  ignored.

  Whole words; this option is useful to find, for example, a variable 
  'i' within your program source code. Using this option Everest 
  ignores all occurrences of the letter 'i' within other words. If this 
  option is enabled it's not possible to find a string consisting of 
  two or more words. For example, 'test.test' will not be found, 
  because the '.' character is recognised as a word seperator.
 
  You can use the wildcards '*' and '?'.'*' represents any text string 
  (the string may even be empty), '?' represents any single character. 
  Example: If the 'Wildcard' option is enabled a search for 
  'Abc*defg?hi*jkl' finds 'Abcdefg1hi123jkl' and 
  'Abc123defg1hi123jk456jkl' but not 'Abcdefghijkl' or 
  'Abc123defg1hi123jk456jk'. In contrast to all other dialogs 'Cancel' 
  does NOT discard all the changes made in the dialog box. 'Cancel' in 
  this context means 'leave the dialog without searching'.

- Search again ([Control]+G)
  Attempts to find the character string previously entered and searched 
  for using the 'Search' option (above). The search proceeds from the 
  current cursor position using the 'Search' option parameters. The 
  search is halted when the start/end of the document is reached and if 
  the 'Auto reverse search direction' option in the 'Screen elements' 
  dialog is enabled the search direction is automatically reversed in 
  the 'Search' dialog. To continue the search in the opposite direction 
  re-select this option.

- Search selection ([Control]+I)
  Attempts to find the character string (50 significant characters) 
  marked using the mouse. The string must be contained on a single 
  line. The first 50 characters of the string are automatically entered 
  into the 'Search' option and the search proceeds from the current 
  cursor position using the 'Search' option parameters. The search 
  stops when the start/end of the document is reached and if the 'Auto 
  reverse search direction' option in the 'Screen elements' dialog is 
  enabled the search direction is automatically reversed in the 
  'Search' dialog. To continue the search in the opposite direction 
  re-select the 'Search again' option.
  If no block is marked [Control]+I can be used to mark the word under 
 the cursor. Typing [Control]+I a second time automatically opens the 
 'Search' dialog with the marked word entered ready for use.

- Replace ([Control]+R)
  Attempts to find the 'Search for' character string within the active 
  window and replace it with the 'replace with' character string. A 
  dialog box appears into which the search and replace strings are 
  entered. If a block less than one line is marked, [Control]+R 
  automatically enters the marked character string into the 'Replace' 
  dialog.
  You can search AND replace with wildcards. Example: Search for 
  'Abc*defg?hijkl' and replace it with 'Mnopqrstuvw*x?yz'. Then 
  'Abc123defg4hijkl' will be replaced with 'Mnopqrstuvw123x4yz' and 
  'Abcdefg1hijkl' will be replaced with 'Mnopqrstuvwx1yz'.
  The search stops when the start/end of the document is reached and if 
  the 'Auto reverse search direction' option in the 'Screen elements' 
  dialog is enabled the search direction is automatically reversed in 
  the 'Replace' dialog. To continue the replace in the opposite 
  direction re-select this option.
 
  Parameters:
  In addition to the parameters provided in the 'Search' option 
  (above):
 
  Replace all; when enabled (crossed) every occurrence of the search 
  character string will be replaced by the replace character string, 
  otherwise the first occurrence of the search character string only is 
  replaced by the replace character string.

  Prompt for each; as each occurrence of the search text it found the 
  text will be marked and a dialog will appear offering the option to 
  replace or not.

- Replace again ([Control]+T)
  Further occurrences of the 'Search for' character string are searched 
  for and replaced with the character string previously entered in the 
  'replace with' field (above). The search proceeds from the current 
  cursor position using the 'Replace' option parameters. The search is 
  halted when the start/end of the document is reached and if the 'Auto 
  reverse search direction' option in the 'Screen elements' dialog is 
  enabled the search direction is automatically reversed in the 
  'Replace' dialog. To continue searching in the opposite direction 
  re-select this option.

- Go to line ([Control]+L)
  A dialog box appears displaying the current line number. Enter the 
  desired number into the dialog box and the cursor moves to the start 
  of the line number entered.

- Matching bracket ([Control]+B)
  Position the cursor over any bracket character ([{}]) and select this 
  option to move the cursor to the matching bracket. If no matching 
  bracket is found the warning bell is sounded.

- Find Error ([Control]+E)
  The line containing the cursor is checked for 'Error messages' as 
  defined in the 'Error messages' option from the 'Parameters' menu. If 
  an error message is found the appropriate file is loaded and the 
  cursor is positioned on the appropriate line number. If the file is 
  already loaded the window is topped, and not loaded repeatedly. This 
  function can also be activated by double clicking on a line.

- Set label ([Control]+Function key)
  A popup menu appears displaying the 10 label fields. The current line 
  number and filename can be assigned to any field. Using the 'Go to 
  label' option (below) or the relevant key combination the cursor can 
  be quickly placed at the desired line number in any loaded file.

- Go to label ([Shift]+Function key)
  A popup menu appears displaying the 10 label fields. To move the 
  cursor to the desired line number within a loaded file select the 
  desired entry.


2.5 Window
==========

- Tile horizontally ([Alternate]+H)
  All windows are displayed across the full width of the screen one 
  above the other without overlap.

- Tile vertically ([Alternate]+V)
  All windows are displayed the full height of the screen in columns 
  adjacent to one another without overlap.

- Stack ([Alternate]+C)
  All windows are displayed overlapping each other.

- Toggle size ([Alternate]+X)
  This option performs the same function as the standard GEM window 
  gadget in the top right of the window and is included for 
  completeness only.


2.6 Parameters
==============

- Insert mode ([Insert])
  Characters typed at the keyboard are entered into the text at the 
  cursor position. If the cursor is positioned over an existing 
  character the characters to the right of the cursor are moved over to 
  make room for the new characters. If the maximum line length is 
  exceeded an error dialog will appear.

- Overwrite mode ([Insert])
  Characters typed at the keyboard are entered into the text at the 
  cursor position and overwrite any existing characters, which are 
  lost.

- GEM Clipboard On ([Alternate]+K)
  The GEM Clipboard will be used for all block operations. Before this 
  option can be used a CLIPBRD folder containing SCRAP.TXT must exist 
  (and be known to GEM) where Everest can find it. This can be set up 
  manually or more conveniently using a clipboard accessory such 
  CLIPBORD.CPX via Atari's XCONTROL.ACC. The advantage of using the GEM 
  Clipboard is its ability to exchange data with other GEM Clipboard 
  compatible programs.

- GEM Clipboard Off ([Alternate]+L)
  Memory is used to store text, this is quicker than using the GEM 
  Clipboard option which stores the text in a file on disk.

- Screen elements ([Alternate]+R)
 - Scroll bars; The scroll bars to the right and bottom of the active 
   window reflect the position of the text displayed in the active 
   window within the overall text. The scroll bars can be updated 
   either:
   While scrolling; reflects the current position of the window within 
   the text even during scrolling.
   After scrolling; offers a distinct speed advantage but the position 
   within the text is only displayed by pausing the scroll action.
  
 - Dialogs;  Dialog boxes may be displayed either centrally or at the 
   mouse position. Parameters:
   Screen centre; dialogs displayed at screen centre.
   At pointer; dialogs displayed at the mouse position.
  
 - Cursor parameters;
   Text dependent/Free position; if the 'Text dependent' option is 
   enabled, the cursor can't be moved over the line ending.
  
   Cursor Style; can be either a vertical line, a block or mode 
   dependent. Mode dependent sets the cursor to a vertical line in 
   Insert mode and a block in Overwrite mode. Flashing cursor; when 
   enabled (crossed) the cursor will flash, making it easier to find.
   Cursor position; when enabled (crossed) the line number and column 
   are displayed in the Window title bar. The current position is 
   updated during a typing pause (this method is used to avoid 
   adversely affecting the speed of Everest).
  
 - 'Failed search' dialog; when enabled an alert box will appear each 
   time a search string cannot be found, useful if you can't hear the 
   bell.
  
 - 'Auto-reverse search direction'; when enabled, the search direction 
   is automatically reversed, when a search/replace operation reaches 
   the start/end of the document.
  
 - Select block after paste; When disabled a pasted block is not marked 
   after pasting which is a fast way to work. When enabled the pasted 
   block is marked and can be simply indented using [Control]+J (or K).
  
 - 'Typing deletes selected block'; when enabled, typed characters 
   replace the selected block. You may only restore the block with undo 
   if you have typed only one character. So enabeling this option can 
   be dangerous.

- Typeface ([Alternate]+T)
  If GDOS (or equivalent) is installed GDOS fonts can be used instead 
  of the system font within Everest. The first time this option is 
  selected the available fonts are loaded into Everest, so the dialog 
  may take a longer than normal to appear. This approach minimises the 
  time taken to load Everest.
  Some GDOS fonts may cause display problems when displayed in reverse 
  video and others do not display correctly at all sizes. Use FONTFIX 
  or similar utility to correct these typefaces. The fonts supplied 
  with Gemini are especially recommended.
  The dialog box contains a preview display showing the currently 
  active typeface and size. The size and style can be changed using 
  scroll arrows or cursor keys and the changes are shown in the preview 
  display.
  If GDOS is not installed only the size of the system font can be 
  changed.

- Formatting ([Alternate]+W)
  'Word wrap', 'Line length' and 'Automatic indentation' can be defined 
  depending on the file extension.

  Tabs; The preset tab width for up to 10 different file extensions can 
  be set from this dialog. Wildcards are allowed. The tab width must be 
  between 1 and 20. If you type the [Tab] key and Real tabs is enabled, 
  the Tab character (Code 9) is inserted at the cursor position. If 
  Real tabs is disabled, the corresponding amount of spaces is 
  inserted.

  If 'Word wrap' is enabled then the cursor will jump into the next 
  line while typing if the right margin is reached. 'Line length' 
  defines the right margin.

  An option especially handy for programmers is:
  Automatic Indentation; when enabled (crossed) the Return key will 
  return the cursor to the position under the first column used in the 
  preceding line.


- Miscellaneous parameters ([Alternate]+M)
 - The 'Block indent' options allows you to determine how a block is 
   indented with the [Control]+J (or K) option. If 'Tabulator' is 
   activated then a tab is inserted at the beginning of every line each 
   time the block is indented right. Instead of tabs a number of spaces 
   or a text string can be used. This is especially handy for comms 
   users where existing mail can be copied and pasted into a reply with 
   the '>' character automatically inserted at the start of each line 
   for example.
  
 - If you want to reformat a paragraph the paragraph ending is 
   recognised by Everest with the following options:

   Additional Carriage Return; A additional CR at the end of the line 
   means that the paragraph ends here. You can create a CR by 
   [Shift]+[Return]. However this method is not very well supported by 
   Everest. The 'Blank line' or 'No trailing space' options are better.

   'Blank line'; An empty line acts as a paragraph seperater.
  
   'No trailing space'; This is the most common method. Every line 
   which is not the last line of a paragraph has a space character at 
   the end. Only the last line has no trailing space. If a paragraph is 
   formatted Everest automatically inserts the spaces according to this 
   method.

   Important: If you use this option it is suggested you do not delete 
   trailing spaces while saving a text. This option can be found in the 
   'Miscellaneous' dialog.
  
 - Save text; Line Feed at line end; may be useful for exchanging text 
   files with other systems. CR/LF at line end (default); most Atari 
   applications and printer drivers expect this combination.
   Delete trailing spaces; when enabled (crossed) any extra space 
   characters at the end of each line will be deleted. But be careful! 
   If you use Everest's word wrap all paragraph information will be 
   lost, because a space at the line ending means that the paragraph 
   continues to the next line.
   Backup file: *.BAK; When a text is saved it will normally replace 
   the existing file on the disk. When the Backup file option is 
   enabled the existing file extension is changed to BAK and then the 
   text is saved. This means you will always have two versions of a 
   text on your disk: the current one and the previous one. Of course 
   you may change the extension BAK if you prefer.
  
 - Null character code; Allows you to define a character to which a 
   Null character is changed while loading (default 32=Space) and a 
   character that is saved as a Null character (default 0).

- Error messages ([Alternate]+E)
  This option enable programmers to configure Everest to respond to 
  compiler specific error messages. Non-programmers can safely ignore 
  this menu entry! Compiler error messages are entered into the dialog 
  using the '%' marker for the filename, the '#' marker for the line 
  number and the '$' marker for the column number. Everest can now 
  search for these error messages, typically in the error file 
  generated by your compiler. Use the 'Find error' drop down menu 
  option, [Control]+E keyboard combination or double click on any line. 
  If a matching error message is found the file containing the error is 
  loaded, topped and displayed. If the error message contains a line 
  number the cursor will be placed at the start of the line containing 
  the error otherwise the cursor will be placed at the start of the 
  first line.
  If no filename is specified and it is the only file loaded then the 
  cursor will be positioned at the start of the line defined in the 
  Error message. If more than one file is loaded the cursor will be 
  positioned at the start of the line defined in the Error message of 
  the next available file (as if you had used the 'Cycle windows' menu 
  option (this only makes sense if two files are loaded)).

  Example Heat-and-Serve C error message entries for Everest:
  Error 1: error in % (#):
  Error 2: warning in % (#):

- Abbreviations ([Alternate]+A)
  The file selector appears. The actual active Abbreviation file is 
  selected as default. Now you can load another Abbreviation file. The 
  previous one will be forgotten. If you try to load an empty filename 
  then the memory used by the Abbreviaiton file is released and no 
  other Abbreviation file is loaded. More about Abbreviations is '1.1 
  Files and file structure'.

- File lists ([Alternate]+F)
  Save file list; select this option to save the filenames, cursor 
  line/column and window layout of all currently loaded and named files 
  to a file called EVEREST.LIS. This file will be automatically loaded 
  if found in the same directory as Everest. Other lists can easily be 
  created by saving the lists under a different path or filename.
 
  Load file list; a further dialog appears offering the following 
  options:
 
  Save all; all loaded files are closed and saved (named only). The 
  file selector appears for selection of a new file list.
 
  With Query; all loaded files will be closed. A dialog appears for 
  each changed file offering a last chance to save or discard the 
  changes. The file selector appears for selection of a new file list.
 
  Merge new; existing files remain loaded and the file selector appears 
  for selection of a further file list. An alert will inform you if the 
  maximum number of windows available is reached and subsequent files 
  on the file list will not be loaded.
 
  You can read more about File lists in '1.1 Files and file structure'.
 
- Program exit ([Alternate]+Q)
  Save edited/changed text; on selecting the 'Quit' menu option all 
  changed text is automatically saved. A dialog will still appear to 
  offer a last chance to save unnamed but changed files.

  Prompt for each; on selecting the 'Quit' menu option a dialog for 
  each file appears in turn offering a last chance to save the file.

  All-in inquiry; when you want to quit Everest a dialog appears where 
  all active texts are shown. There you can decide to save a text or 
  not.
  Save parameters to .INF file; when enabled (crossed) this option 
  saves the user defined parameters to a file called EVEREST.INF in the 
  current directory. If EVEREST.INF is present in the same directory as 
  Everest it is automatically loaded next time Everest is run.

  Save standard file list; when enabled (crossed) the standard file 
  list will be saved to the current directory. If no file list was 
  mentioned on the command line, EVEREST.LIS is the standard file list. 
  Otherwise the file list from the command line is the standard file 
  list.
  If EVEREST.LIS is present in the same directory as Everest it will be 
  automatically used next time Everest is run.
 
* A tip
  Enable both the last two options to return to Everest as if you 
  hadn't left it.

- Save set up ([Alternate]+S)
  Saves the parameters and window layout to EVEREST.INF in the current 
  directory. (See also chapter 1.1 Files and file structure.)


2.7 Info
========

- Loaded files ([Alternate]+I)
  Displays the current memory allocation for each file and the Block 
  memory used. Click on any filename to quit the dialog and top the 
  selected window. You may also press the corresponding function key 
  instead.

- Help ([Shift]+[Help])
  Help screens for the Keyboard and Mouse can be displayed.

- Help Acc ([Help])
  Only useful to programmers with the Turbo C Help Accessory or 
  1STGUIDE loaded.

3.1 How to change the shortcuts
===============================

There is no menu in Everest to change the keyboard shortcuts. If you 
want to do this you need a debugger or a (disk) monitor.
Behind the characters ALTTAB and behind CTLTAB are tables which define 
the keyboard shortcuts. The length of each entry is three words. The 
first word is the ASCII Code of the shortcut character in upper case. 
The next two words define the menu title and entry. Each table ends 
with 0 as ASCII Code. You may extend each table up to the characters 
END. It is possible to move an entry from one table to another. You 
also may change the ASCII Code of the shortcut characters. In the 
unchanged Everest the entries are in the order as they appear in the 
menu. This facility is provided for your convenience. Please do NOT 
distribute modified copies of Everest to anyone!


3.2 Keyboard commands

                                     number is topped. If there exists 
                                     no such window, the fileselector 
                                     is invoked and you can load a text 
                                     into the corresponding window.

All underlined buttons can be optionally selected by pressing the 
relevant key together with the [Alternate] key. The turned over corner 
displayed at the top right of all dialog boxes has two important 
advantages over normal GEM dialog boxes. Using the mouse, clicking and 
holding down over one of these corners reveals the text hidden behind 
the dialog. Holding down and moving the mouse enables any dialog box to 
be repositioned as desired. The [Esc] key will clear any data in a 
dialog text field. The [Undo] key is equivalent to selecting the Cancel 
button. [Shift]+[Undo] will restore a dialog text field to the entry it 
displayed when it was last called.
The [Shift]+left/right arrow keys will move the cursor to the start/end 
of any string entered in a dialog text field.

****************************************************************************

5.1 AV-Protocol
===============

Detailed information, in English, about the AV-Protocol can be found in 
the Thing alternative desktop documentation. Everest supports 
AV_SENDKEY, AV_OPENWIND and VA_START.
Another program can send keyboard events to Everest. 'mbuf' must 
contain the following entries:
  mbuf[0] = Message code AV_SENDKEY=0x4710
  mbuf[1] = ap_id of sending program
  mbuf[2] = 0
  mbuf[3] = Keyboard status
  mbuf[4] = Pressed key as it is provided by evnt_multi. (ASCII Code: 
            bit 0..7, Scancode: bit 8..15)
You may also open Everest's file selector with a predefined path.
  mbuf[0] = AV_OPENWIND=0x4720
  ... s.a.
  mbuf[3],mbuf[4] = Pointer to the path
  mbuf[5],mbuf[6] = Pointer to wildcard
This option is useful for Treeview

Another program can send a command line to Everest with VA_START:
  mbuf[0] = VA_START=0x4711
  ... s.a.
  mbuf[3],mbuf[4] = Pointer to command line
This is useful for multitasking shells. For example, under MagiC, it's 
possible to drag files onto the Everest icon which will be loaded into 
Everest even if Everest is already running.



5.2 SE-Protocol
===============

The SE-Protocol was developed by Dirk_Steins@k2.maus.de and 
Frank_Storm@ac2.maus.de.

The SE (Shell-Editor) protocol was invented for communication between 
an editor and a shell under a multitasking operating system like 
MagiC!. CHATWIN is a highly recommended programmable shell, that 
supports the SE-protocol.

The shell has to announce to Everest via the SE_INIT message. Everest 
asks via AV_PROTOKOLL if the shell understands AV_SENDKEY. If the shell 
understands AV_SENDKEY, it's possible with the EXTRAS/ SHELL option to 
strike a key that will be sent to the shell.

The options EXTRAS/ MAKE and EXTRAS/ COMPILE cause Everest to send 
ES_MAKE and ES_COMPILE:

 - MAKE: All changed texts are saved. If the option 'Close all texts 
   after make' in the PARAMETERS/ PROGRAM_EXIT menu is checked, all 
   texts are closed. Then Everest sends ES_MAKE with a NULL-parameter 
   for the makefile.
  
 - COMPILE: the actual text is saved and its filename is given to the 
   shell via the ES_COMPILE message.
   
Everest understands the following messages:

SE_OPEN    Everest loads the given file.

SE_ERROR   The given file is topped. If it's not loaded it will be 
           loaded. The cursor is moved to the desired position and the 
           given text will be shown in an alertbox.

SE_ERRFILE With this message it's possible to hand over two filenames. 
           One file can be regarded as the compiled file. This file 
           will be topped, if it's loaded, if not, it will be loaded. 
           The other file may be regarded as the error list. If this 
           file is already loaded, it will be closed and then reloaded.

SE_QUIT    The shell is terminated and gives Everest notice about this.

SE_TERMINATE The shell wants Everest to quit.

SE_CLOSE    Everest saves every changed file.

More detailed information about the SE-Protocol can be found in the 
file SEPROTO.H. Look also at the simple test program SE_TEST.PRG. Both 
files are in the folder SE_TEST.

  typing the [Insert] key.
- You may define abbreviations that have word separator characters at 
  their ending. For example t{=test{~}.
- It's now possible to use abbreviations that are not defined. If you 
  type the [Esc] key after typing the beginning of a word that is not a 
  defined abbreviation, Everest searches the actual text if there's a 
  word with the same beginning. If so, then this word is taken for 
  expansion.
- If the Help-Accessory is now invoked without any selection, then it's

  special Tab character. You can configure this in the Parameters/ 
  Formatting dialog.
 
Version 3.5  11-8-1995 and 18-8-1995
- Everest makes now all possible wind_get(WF_NEXTXYWH) calls after 
  wind_get(WF_FIRSTXYWH). Perhaps this will avoid an error within 
  Geneva (not tested!).
- Everest doesn't check all characters if an external font selector is 
  used.
- The handling of the Changes Flag after block saving has been 
  corrected.
- SE-Protocol (Make, Compile) implemented.
- New option 'Abandon' in the File menu.
- Error removed that caused Everest to crash when the TAB key is 
  pressed while no window is open.
- Everest understands now the message AP_TERM.
- It's now possible to delete a marked block with the Backspace key.
- Use Control '~' to swap the actual line with the previous line, 
  Alternate '~' to swap the actual line with the next line.
- Printing via GDOS is supported.
- Drag&Drop font selector protocol implemented (Message FONT_CHANGED).
- Scrolling with [Shift]+[Control] keeps the cursor in the same line.
- Use [Alternate]+- to swap the two characters immeditely left of the 
  cursor.
- It's now possible to drag an object from another program and drop it 
  in Everest's window. Everest demands ASCII files with the ".TXT" 
  Option in the Drag&Drop protocol. If the [Shift] key is pressed, 
  Everest demands the name of the dropped objects via 'ARGS'. Everest 
  merges the contents of the pipe. Gemini and Ease send only ARGS, so 
  with these Shell it's only possible to get the filenames of icons.
- Press [Shift] during Copy/Paste operations to append the marked text 
  to the clipboard.
- Mouseblanker implemented: The mouse arrow is switched off while text 
  is typed.
- MagiC/MultiTOS iconify implemented.
- In the file list the name of the abbreviation file is stored under 
  the window number 0.
- Everest now supports Freedom, the multitasking file selector which 
  supports long filenames (with spaces).
- Bug fixed in the path handling of the environment variable EVEREST.
- No message is overread any longer. This is important for the 
  SE-protocol. (18-8-1995)
- After SE_ERROR the ES_ACK message is send before the alertbox is 
  displayed. Everest sends ES_ACK as soon as it doesn't need the memory 
  the pointers in the 16 Byte Messagebuffer point to. (18-8-1995)
- After SE_CLOSE every changed file will be saved. No window is closed. 
  This proceeding is according to the SE-protocol documentation. 
  (18-8-1995)
- The displayed filename in iconified windows may now be longer then 12 
  characters. To see the whole filename it may be necessary to change 
  the width of the iconified windows. This is possible with the 
  ICFS-CPX. (18-8-1995)
- Distribution conditions changed. (18-8-1995)

Version 3.6á  (22-7-1997)
- Pdomain(1) call implemented, the MagiC file selector now recognises 
  Everest is able to handle long filenames.
- SE_OPEN only loads the file, if it is not loaded yet. Otherwise the 
  loaded file is topped.
- Filename quoting works now with ' and ".
- [Shift]+[Control]+W toggles to the window that was used last. This 
  option allows you to toggle between two windows without clicking 
  through all other windows.
- [Control]+W ignores iconified windows.
- After iconifying the top window the window that was topped last will 
  be topped.
- Everest now supports the MagiC file selector in a window.
- Everest supports the OLGA protocol as an OLGA server.
- It's now possible to display only the filename without path in the 
  window title - useful for very long paths.
- All one character abbreviations (krzels) are now expanded 
  immediately without typing [Esc].
  This is particularly useful for HTML or TeX authoring. For example 
  typing the pound sign 'œ' can be automatically expanded to the HTML 
  standard '£'
  Please do check through your abbreviation (krzel) files for any existing 
  single character expansions or they will be automatically expanded!
  If you want to use single character krzels without automatic expansion 
  you should append a dummy character, e.g. write 'a_=test' instead of 
  'a=test'. Typing 'a[Esc]' will then expand to 'test'.
- After saving a changed krzel file Everest automatically updates the 
  internal krzel table. (24-8-1997)
- Unfortunately there was some 68030 Code within the version of 22-7, which 
  has now been removed. (24-8-1997)

7.1 Distribution conditions

Everest is Shareware NOT public domain. Please feel free to evaluate 
Everest for up to six weeks. If at the end of this period you can't 
bring yourself to delete Everest you must register.

Everest may be freely distributed by PD/Shareware libraries and BBS's 
so long as Everest and its documentation always remain together and 
complete with all its files and documentation.

Changes to the program and/or documentation is forbidden. The software 
and documentation listed below constitute Everest and is protected 
under international Copyright law.

The EVEREST.INF file must NOT under any circumstances be distributed as 
the registered version contains your personal key details.


7.2 How to register

The shareware fee is only 20 DM. If you want to pay with cheque, please 
send only DM (EuroCheque preferred). If you want to pay cash, you can 
send the fee in any stable currency (e.g. $15 or œ10). PLEASE PAY CASH 
IF POSSIBLE!!!!

Alternatively you can register Everest in the UK through InterActive. 
Please read SUPPORT.TXT included in this distribution for more details.

After receiving the Shareware fee you will receive a personalised key. 
This key together with your name is entered into the Everest

saving the INF file with a key the registration dialog no longer 
appears when starting Everest.

Existing Registered users can request a free key.

The reward for paying the Shareware fee is Everest's continued 
development. The extent to which Everest is upgraded is largely 
dependent upon the Shareware response from users. On receiving your 
Shareware fee and address you automatically become a registered user 
and can at any time until informed otherwise send a stamped addressed 
envelope for a copy of the latest version, or send 5 DM instead

Everest undergoes continual development and as a registered user your

my best to remove bugs.
