SysEdit is designed to feel like a word processor while in SCREEN mode and feel like a mainframe or mini-computer command based line editor while in EDIT mode.

Along with standard cursor movement, SysEdit provides a simple interface to perform word, block and column manipulation. Auto-indentation, tab to space conversion and record and playback functions are also provided.
Create and customize your own Keystroke Macros from combinations of key functions, edit commands and text. You can then bind them to any desired key.
Key functions from the list below can be bound to any desired key on your keyboard as long as the key puts out an escape sequence. Bind only the key functions you need for your environment to simplify new user transition. You can easily bind more later.

As an example, the find command will find a string in a specific column. The following command will find the next line in the file with the Bellevue, Washington Zip code (98005) in column 120.
find(120) 98005
The delete command will delete 1 or more lines. (1 is default).
delete
The following macro will delete all lines in the file with 98005 in
column 120.
f(120) 98005;d;*
Note: Both commands were abbreviated! (Why type all that extra stuff?)
The commands were separated by a semi-colon (;). The final command *
was added to tell SysEdit to repeat the previous commands until the
end of the file.
As you can see, Edit commands can be combined into Macros. They can also can be saved into and executed from external files.
Following is a list of commands available. Each can be abbreviated to the upper case characters beginning the command. This powerful "USER FRIENDLY" set of commands allows complex file modification without the need for knowledge of high level languages like C or LISP. Compiling, spooling and other external shell commands can also be executed while in a session.

Keyboard mapping is also done using this setup program. There are over 50 key functions that can be mapped to your favorite key or combined to make "key-macros" to save time.
You can set up individual key-maps for each user or use one standard key-map for your whole site.
Because of this flexibility, SysEdit can be made to feel like your favorite word processor or like a mainframe editor you have used before.
Information Systems Technologies also sends out email to registered users about new functionality and "tricks of the trade".
On site classes are available for customers who want to really get the most out of configuring and using SysEdit.
Please call if you need SysEdit for another platform.
SysEdit will run on:
ASCII terminals
PC terminal emulators
Xwindow's xterms
Openwindow's xterm, shelltool and cmdtool windows
