A Wimp Front End for the Basic Editor
by Mike Summerton

Note: Before using this program you must copy BasicEdit from the Modules directory on Applications Disc 2 into the !BEdit directory on this disc.

This program provides easy access to the Basic editor via an icon on the icon bar which is installed when the program is run. Dragging a Basic program icon into the Basic editor will result in the program being loaded into the editor, while clicking on the icon bar icon enters the editor with a blank program. Alternatively, holding down Shift while dragging a file to the icon or clicking on the icon results in Basic being entered rather than the editor.

Two function keys are set up for use from within the editor. Ctrl-Shift-F4 returns to the Desktop, while Ctrl-Shift-F12 exits to Basic and runs the program. The modified program should be saved from within the editor; this may require the current directory to be changed.
