>EdSharp 1.0
>Released August 3, 2007
>
>EdSharp is a free, open source, and highly productive text editor that
>works on almost any version of Windows.  It is rich in features, quick in
>performance, and accessible by design.  User benefits include the
>following:
>
>*  Open multiple text files of any size.  Other formats may be imported as
>text.  A file may also be opened from a list of those recently used, a
>list that you designate as favorites, or a list containing text you
>specify.
>
>*  Search forward or backward and automatically hear the matching line if
>operating with a screen reader.  Use a flexible "regular expression" to
>replace, extract, or count patterns.
>
>*  Identify the current line, column, and percent position  of the cursor.
>Query the number of characters, words, and lines in a document.
>
>*  Select any amount of text without having to hold down the Shift key.
>Instead, mark the starting point of a selection,  navigate to the ending
>point by whatever means, and then complete the selection.  Copy the entire
>document to the clipboard with a single command, or copy its full path
>with another one.
>
>*  Conveniently copy or cut the current line to the clipboard if no text
>is selected.  Append to the clipboard rather than replacing it.  Check
>what the clipboard currently contains.
>
>*  Navigate by paragraph, sentence, or chunk of non-blank characters.
>Delete various segments, including the current line, to the end of the
>line, to the start of the line, to the bottom of the document, or to the
>top of the document.
>
>*  Trim extra blank spaces.  Repeat the current line with a quick copy
>immediately below.  Insert the time.  Calculate and insert the day of week
>that a date occurs, or the date of, say, the third Thursday of November
>(Thanksgiving).
>
>*  Prepare a "structured text document" with a table of contents,
>headings, and sections.  Navigate by section, search by topic, or toggle
>between the table of contents and the body.  Convert a list of files in
>other formats to text versions, or combine them into a single, ordered
>text document.  Produce HTML format from regular text.
>
>*  Jump to a line number, or go to a percent point in the document.  Set
>or go to a bookmark.  Adjust whether long lines are wrapped, or whether a
>document is protected against accidental modification.  These settings are
>restored the next time a file is opened.
>
>*  Run a spell check or thesaurus lookup.  Change the case of selected
>text.  Clean up quoted email.  Start a new message with the current
>document as its body or as an attachment.
>
>*  Configure the font and color of text to enhance its visual readability.
>Sort lines, eliminate duplicates, or compare blocks, extracting lines that
>are either different or the same.
>
>Every EdSharp command is available by menu selection or hot key.  All are
>discussed in the documentation.  Tips to get started include the
>following:
>
>By default, the installer sets Alt+Control+E as a hot key to load EdSharp
>(though this option may be unchecked).  The HTML documentation is
>presented at the end of installation, and is also available from the
>EdSharp program group of the Start Menu or by pressing F1 when the program
>is loaded.  Alt+Shift+H presents a hot key summary.  Alt+F10 presents an
>alternate menu of every command in a single, alphabetized list.  F11
>elevates to the latest version on the web.  The status line gives ongoing
>messages, which EdSharp speaks selectively through the JAWS or Window-Eyes
>screen readers if detected in memory.
>
>Be text smart with EdSharp!
