Files:
Menu choices are for the standard file operations,
Open, Save, and Save As. They work as expected. Note that AirEd can be
made the editor of choice by selecting "Set AirEd for AIR files". Then
AirEd will come up automatically when you click on an AIR file in File
Manager or Explorer or IE or whatever it is this week.
The List:
Once a file is open, there will be a list of
records presented. This list is similar to the one for directories in File
Manager. There will be icons that show kind of data the record contains,
and a brief text description. Some records contain only one item of data.
If so, the type of data is shown in the icon. You can get a Description
Of Data Types.
If the record contains more than one item of
data, the icon will be
This means that when you click on it, it will
expand to show all of the data items in that record.
NOTE: Single clicks are used in AirEd. Double clicking is not needed or recognized!
Editing Items:
To edit an item, simply single click the left
mouse button over it.
The way you edit an item depends on what type
of data it contains.
At the bottom of the window is a bar with
text. If you are editing a number, that text will show you the ranges of
numbers you can enter.
More advanced users can edit the ini file, which
is where just about everything you see is specified. Explanations of the
entries are in the file.
NOTE: Don't edit AirEd.ini unless
you know what you are doing! The program won't function right if the file
gets botched.
If you have found out the function of an entry, please e-mail me with the information, including the steps you took to verify it and I will include it in the next update. All entries MUST be verified in the sim. It isn't enough to just find out what got changed by some other editor!
My web page is gone for a while. My old ISP moved the files, breaking the links I included with these files for over 10,000 users. I summarily dumped them when they wouldn't restore the files. I have a new ISP, and I will get around to putting up a web page soon.
Please DON'T e-mail me asking where some thing or another is. If it's been found, it's in there.
