(This is really to Tandy but I can't find the original msg).  When
you type ESC with Qedit 2.10 you get a (reverse video) pull down
menu.  Typing F1 give you a (again, reverse video) help screen.  To
save a file with the default Qedit keyboard setup, type Alt-X and a
small window will pop up someplace in the body of the file and ask
if you want t save Yes/No with the Yes line in reverse video.  This
little window pops up in different places on the screen each time.
Tandy, the first time you run Qedit, you might want to unzip the
qconfig exc and also pick up the WordPerfect Keyboard and help file
(or WordStar if you prefer).  You can edit the keyboard and help
files so that the keys will do whatever you want them to (you edit
it with q.exe).  Run the qconfig and tell it to install the new
keyboard file and then the help file.  While you are in qconfig, if
your synthesizer does not like reverise video, you might want to go
into the advanced options and change the colors for the different
windows and help screen.  You also may want to tell it not to start
in Insert and AutoIndent mode, not to end the files with Ctrl-Z,
not to End-Of-File logo and, if you're short space, not to create
*.bak files.  Once you get q.exe configured the way you want you
can delete qconfig and the keyboard file.
