DESCRIPTION:
___________________________________________________________________________________________

WEB-ED is a dual editor, primarily for HTML and VBScript. These are really two separate
editors that share the same window. There are various functions for each
language and each has a double row of auto-insert buttons for common code.
For HTML there's a color picker and color sampler (to get the hex code for a spot in 
a graphic image.) There's also a  toggling browser window to view changes as you write them.
 In the scripting window there are line and column numbers, debugging and a
quick-reference list of message box constants. The program Help contains full info.
There's also a VBScript Help section with example code and some listed sources
for further VBScript information.

CHANGES AND BUG FIXES:

CHANGES FROM v. 2.8:
 (These are explained in the new Help file.)
____________________________________

WEB-ED 2.85 is a 'housecleaning' edition. The whole program has been gone over
to make improvements in functioning.

 Browsing windows; cut, copy and paste functions; the View Image function;
the Color Finder; VBScript colorcoding; available settings; VBScript auto-insert function;
the Help file, line numbers in the script editor...
these and many minor things have been improved.

_____________
New in v. 2.85:

* Multi-file Replace - Replace text across any number of files simultaneously.

* Debugging - There is now a debugging function for VBScript. It works by line
to look for format and spacing errors. Also, the whole file can be debugged, in which case
it will also look for missing pairs (If-End If, Do-Loop, etc) and methods that lack
a needed object reference (ex.: fso.deleteFile).

* Autosave - Automatically saves the text to file at a predetermined interval.
     It will also save a copy of new work - in the event of a crash that work can then
     be recovered.

* Extended function in the Color Finder.

* More filetypes opened. 

* A popup menu for the FileSystemObject in VBScript - offers auto-insertion of most
 FSO methods when "fso." is typed (if the FSO has been dimensioned and set). 
____________________________________________________________

Changes from v. 2.7 to 2.8 (January, 2000) :

* Optional colorcoding for both HTML and VBScript

* 'Clipping Pad' : an extra editor window for pasting text temporarily-
   essentially, a means to edit the Clipboard.

* Find and Replace function : find and/or replace one or all occurences 
 of given text; also count the number of occurences.

* The editor window and clipping Pad both 'remember' their last position.

* The color sampling function is still on the menu but the other graphic
  functions have been incorporated into the auto-insert buttons.

* Various interface changes made in an attempt to make the general
  operation more intuitive.

* Wordwrap - I read a review lamenting the lack of wordwrap! This function 
  would seem to me as much a problem as a help in a code editor, where
  a carriage return affects the code. On the other hand, it can be useful. 
  the solution presented here is to provide wordwrap on a per-time basis.
 In other words, you can choose it at any time but it won't be set the next time 
 you start the editor.
_________________________________________________________
 
  Bug Fixes in v. 2.85 :
  
 * WEB-ED would crash if script editor was open with text entered, the insertion point 
was at 0 (top left) and Return was hit. - FIXED

 * If the program was closed with the Clipping Pad minimized that position
would be remembered at next startup, effectively losing the clipping Pad. - FIXED

 * 32 KB file size limit with colorcoding. - FIXED : there is now no practical filesize limit.

  Known Issue : The text window component has its own printing functions
  that don't seem to always work properly. You may find that if printing
  goes to 2 pages then a few lines get clipped between pages 1 and 2.
  This may depend on your brand of printer.
  The solution is to select one page worth, print it, then select the rest
  to print. 
   There is a potential issue, known to Microsoft, whereby in occasional
  cases the print function could be incompatible with the printer and not
  work at a
