Windows(R) interface.

Troubleshooting:
----------------
If you have a slow system and you're experiencing trouble with smooth 
scrolling, you should start Smooth Editor up with the /1 command-line option. 
This should solve the problem.


Uninstalling Smooth Editor
--------------------------
If you want to remove Smooth Editor from your computer, you can just delete 
the directory it's in. Smooth Editor leaves no data or code in other parts of 
the system.


Whatsnew
--------
Version 2.0:
-Complete Windows(R) interface
	If you execute the SEWIN.EXE program from Windows, Smooth Editor can 
	copy/cut/paste from and to Windows Applications, you can drag and drop 
	filenames from the File Manager and when you exit Windows, Smooth 
	Editor will close down like other Windows applications, with a Save 
	File query if necessary.
-Macro's
	You can record, name, save and play back ten different macros.
-True Tabs
	Tabs keep their position also when the text in front of them is 
	changed.
-Smart Word Wrapping
	Wrapping also works with Delete, if there is no 'hard return' words 
	will be wrapped back when there is enough space.
-Justify function
	This function joins lines within paragraphs to make neatly wrapped 
	text.
-Command line switches
	Use SE/? for more details.
-Text viewing mode
	Because of Smooth Scrolling, SE is very well suited as a text viewer.
-Improved color customization
	There new are separate choices for the colors in the palette and the 
	usage of these colors in the program.
-Startup options
	The SE.INI now has options to set startup modes.
-Immediate interpretation of SE.INI
	When SE.INI is saved, the program can execute the settings 
	immediately, making it easier to customize the program.
-Replace function
-Bookmarks
-A large number of small improvements and a couple of bugfixes.
-The file COLORS.TXT is included with Smooth Editor. This file contains a
	couple of premade color configurations.

Version 2.1:
-Fixed Smooth Editor to work under Windows95
-Smooth Editor only needs 370 kB of conventional memory for any file size
-Improved task switching under Windows 3.1 and Windows95
-Fixed a couple of minor bugs

Upgrading
---------
This version will not work together with the old SE.INI file. The old SE.INI 
must be deleted or renamed. Sorry.


Demo:
-----
To see the demonstration, make sure the SE.INI is not in the path or in the 
program directory. If it is you can just delete it, since SE will create a new 
one with all the default values. When you now start SE, it will ask you if you 
want to see the demo.

versions):
