<font color="#ff0000">(Only for DosFBB, WinFBB has another editor)</font>
</p>
<pre> The editor is validated for answering messages, with Alt-F6.<br> <br> The Tiny-Edit is started with the Alt-F5 command. Normal operation of the<br>BBS is maintained, the editing takes place in the console window, above the<br>monitoring area of the display.<br><br> Most of the text files can be edited with this editor despite of its<br>simplicity. The most concerning drawback is the fact that the line length can<br>not be longer than 79 characters. The language files (xxxx.TXT) therefore<br>cannot be edited.<br><br> Tabs are not generated and are presented on the display with a special<br>character.<br><br> During the editing, the usual BBS command set are no longer available, they<br>are replaced by the tiny-edit commands.<br><br> Upon activation of the editor, a dialog window ask for the filename to edit.<br><br> The default directory is the directory "SYSTEM" as defined in INIT.SRV.<br><br> Examples: FORWARD.SYS will edit SYSTEM\FORWARD.SYS<br> FWD\F6FBB will edit SYSTEM\FWD\F6FBB<br><br> It will be necessary to specify the full path for a file outside of the<br>default directory root or located on another disk drive. If only the drive<br>name is specified, the current directory on this drive is searched for the<br>filename.<br><br> Example: C:INIT.SRV will edit C:\FBB\INIT.SRV (while the current directory<br>is c:\FBB).<br><br> To edit a message, one should give the message number with a leading pound<br>sign ('#').<br><br> Example : #42645 will edit the message number 42645.<br><br> In case the edited file is a compiled one (I.E. FORWARD.SYS) it will be<br>compiled again after the termination of tiny-edit<br><br><br><big><b>Function-keys :</b></big>
