NEWSEDIT.PPE ReadMe File

OK, don't expect great docs, This is being whipped up in about an hour.

The PPE must reside in the same directory as your NEWSFLSH.PPE and CFG files. 
You can install it as a Function Key replacement, in the CMD.LST, or  run  it 
from the command line via the /PPE: switch for PCBoard.

The PPE can take one optional parameter, the name of the newsfile to edit (no 
extensions,  or  paths).  It  will  default  to  the  file  specified  in the 
NEWSFLSH.CFG file.

The program will let you enter a news entry line by line, and place the entry
with today's date at the top of the news file in the proper format.  It  will 
prompt you for the subject of the entry before prompting for the text.
 
You can't go back to a previous line, but  you  have  the option to abort the
entry once you are done, in case you make an error.

Another note,  each line is limited to 77 characters in the editor, INCLUDING
@X codes, and will word-wrap to the next line. If you want longer lines which
contain multiple  @X  color  codes  or macros, use another editor. Any plain-
ascii editor will work as long as you use the correct format for each entry:


~~DD/MM/YYSubject Text (30 char max)
Entry Text - as many lines as you want
~~DD/MM/YYSubject Text (30 char max)
Entry Text
