What's new in Editor Plus?



What is EDITOR PLUS?

    Editor Plus is a clone of the HP49G File Manager, also it's a Text Editor/Viewer with an all purpose Viewer with word wrap and Picture handling,  Editor Plus has a Powerful File Browser that lets you handle all the files inside your HP.

    It is very easy to use, with it's All New! File Browser with Scroll Bar! You can see up to 8 Files on screen including it's properties (if you want to) and with the soft keys you will be able to: VIEW, EDIT, CREATE, DELETE or SEND them!.
 
 

Main Features:

With the [UP] and [DOWN] keys you can select the file that you want,  The Keys are enabled with Key Auto-Repeat for faster access and to prevent key damage!
 

The following is the listing of the available key functions in EDITOR PLUS:
 

VIEW

    This is the all purpose viewer, you can just VIEW any file in the browser, if it's a grob you will see it in screen, if it's a text file you will also see it in screen.

NOTE: If the file is quite big, You will be able to see the rest of your file quickly by scrolling the screen using the arrow keys: [UP], [DOWN], [LEFT] and [RIGHT].  You can increase the scrolling speed with the [ + ] key, or decrease it with the [ - ] key.  [ON] key quits.

TREE

    This is the directory tree, you will see in screen a selection box, showing you the existing directories in your HP48, the directory in which you currently are will appear selected; then you can go into other directory.  Please refer to the [ENTER] and [Left-Shift] keys for more information.

[PRG]
    Shows the "info" screen with all my Credits…
 

Warning
    If you didn't know, there is a hidden directory inside HOME, well with my Browser you can access this hidden directory, I just have to say that whatever you do DO NOT DELETE any files inside this directory because you can get a Memory Clear, or don't try to move the directory itself to other place because the HP always checks for the hidden directory and if it isn't there the HP takes this as a Fatal thing so it displays the annoying message "Try to Recover Memory?", you've been Warned!
