The EDITLI.SYS program donated to AMUS allows VUE-like editing to
be used on any line-orented keyboard input on the AMOS/L operating system.
EDITLI.SYS requires a CRT with cursor forward, backward and
clear-to-end-of-line capabilities.

To install it on your system, add the command:

	SYSTEM EDITLI.SYS/N

to the system initialization file.

The recognized editing characters are:

	^A - back word
	^C - Interrupt
	^D - Delete character
	^F - Insert space
	^H - cursor left
	^I - insert TAB
	^J - terminate input with linefeed
	^K - Recall previous line.  Works only when entered as the first
	     character of a line.
	^L - Cursor right
	^M - terminate input with carraige return.
	^N - move cursor to end of line
	^Q - toggle insert mode
	^R - retype line
	^U - move cursor to beginning of line
	^V - Delete word
	^W - Move cursor forward word
	^Y - Delete to end of line
	DEL- Delete previous character

Differences to other line editors on the market:

	1. There is no provision for disabling the line edit mode.
	   Since all input characters are available, including
	   the TAB character, I did not feel this was necessary.

The following are known bugs:

	1. The move cursor backward/forward a word do not work exactly the
	   same as an VUE.

	2. The Partial-Input mode (:P) in a command file will not work.
	   I have never used this, and as far as I know, it is not
	   documented.

If you feel ambitious enough to try and fix these bugs, go ahead, but
let me know what you did.  My address is:
