1.0 - Introduction

This mini-utility allows the SysOp to have multiple full-screen editors on
his/her BBS so each user may use his favourite one, rather than the SysOp's
favourite one. ;)  It has been tested with RemoteAccess 2.0x but should work
with any QuickBBS compatible system.


2.0 - Installation

Installation takes a few steps, but I have tried to make it as easy as
possible to install MultEdit.  Firstly, you must make sure that RemoteAccess
runs the MSG.BAT file that is included in the package.  This can be done by
entering "*C /C MSG.BAT *M" in RACONFIG> Options> Messages> External Editor.
After this, run MEConfig.Exe and enter in the names of the editors that you
will be using.  Next edit MSG.BAT and have it execute these editors.  MultEdit
will return an errorlevel corresponding to the editor that the user has
chosen.  Therefore, if editor #1 is IceEdit and the user selects this editor,
MultEdit.Exe will return an errorlevel of 1.  MSG.BAT checks this and then
runs the appropriate program.  You must also edit MultEdit.Cfg and enter the
required information.

When a user posts a message, he will be asked which editor to use.  After
the first query, MultEdit will always run that editor without any further
prompts.  To allow the user to change his default editor, a type 7 menu
option must be created with "C:\<Whatever Directory>\MULTEDIT.EXE /X" in the
OptData field.  The "/X" parameter tells MultEdit that the user wants to
select a new message editor.


2.1 - Sysop keys

  F1    - Shows the Sysop keys on the status bar.
  AltùC - Invokes the chat mode (with line wrapping :).
  AltùT - "Twit user".  Returns the user back to the BBS.
  PgUp  - Adds 5 minutes to the user's time.
  PgDn  - Subtracts 5 minutes from the user's time.
