Characters typed on the alphanumeric keyboard (including tab) are inserted at
the cursor, pushing the rest of the text on the line to the right. Inserting a
RETURN splits a line; deleting a RETURN joins two lines.

Additional help is available whenever DREDIX prompts you for additional
information (for example, a file name).  You may press Alt-h at any time,
and DREDIX will give the help that you need.
.M default
.K Pattern
Type a pattern to be searched for followed by a RETURN. If you want to cancel
this command, press Alt-x after pressing the space bar.

Simple patterns consist of letters, numbers and most special symbols. Upper
and lower case letters are different. Special characters can be used to build
more complex patterns.  If you don't want a character to be special, precede
it with Ø (backslash).


CHAR	SPECIAL MEANING

*	Matches any string of zero or more characters.
?	Matches any single character except end-of-line.
Ø	Makes next character (*, ? or Ø) non-special.
.K Replacemen
Type text to replace text that the pattern matches, followed by a RETURN. The
RETURN isn't part of the replacement text.

If and when a match is found, you will be prompted to enter one of three
responses:

RESPONSE	ACTION

Alt-x		Terminate the translation process. Translations that were
		already made will remain made.

l		(local) Perform this translation, and go on to the next match.

g		(global) Perform this translation and all other translations.

Æspace barÅ	Skip this translation, but go on to the next match. Hitting any
		other key is equivalent to hitting the space bar.

If you want to cancel this command, press Alt-x after the space bar.
.K treply
DREDIX is ready to make the translation you requested, but first it wants your
approval.  You must respond with one of the following:

RESPONSE	ACTION

Alt-x		Terminate the translation process. Translations that were
		already made will remain made.

l		(local) Perform this translation, and go on to the next match.

g		(global) Perform this translation and all other translations.

Æspace barÅ	Skip this translation, but go on to the next match. Hitting any
		other key is equivalent to hitting the space bar.

(The most likely response is pressing "l" or "g".)
.K File
Type a file name followed by a RETURN.

If you want to cancel this command, press Alt-x after pressing the space bar.
.K Line
Type a line number (from 1 to the number of lines in the buffer) followed by a
RETURN.

If you omit the line number or use a line number of zero, you will go to the
first line of the marked block.

If you want to cancel this command, press Alt-x after pressing the space
bar.
.K Buffer num
Type a buffer number or file name followed by a RETURN.

The buffer you specify will be brought into the current window.  If the buffer
was previously associated with some other window, then the two windows will
exchange buffers.  Otherwise, the old buffer will not be associated with any
window.  In any event, the old buffer will remain undisturbed, and you can
change back to it later.

If you specify a file name and there is a buffer associated with that name,
then that buffer's number will be used.

If the file you specify isn't associated with any buffer, then an error
message will be given.

If you want to cancel this command, press Alt-x after the space bar.
.K OK to lose
If you just issued an edit (Alt-e) command, then the problem is that you
haven't yet written out the changes you made to the current buffer. If you
respond with "y" followed by a RETURN, then you will lose the changes.

To get a chance to write out the changes with a write (Alt-w) command,
respond with "n" or any character other than "y".

If you just tried to exit (Alt-x), then the problem is that some buffer
(not necessarily the one associated with the current window) hasn't been
written out.  If you're not sure which buffer it is, type "n" followed by a
RETURN and use the Alt-p command to get a status display.
.K memfull
Memory to store text is full!

No more text can be read in, and no more editing can be done.

You should exit from DREDIX immediately and start over.  If you have made
changes that you want to save, you may issue a write command.  If you haven't
made any changes, just exit.
