There is a status & input line, where you can enter filenames, blocknames, find-texts and line numbers. The editor commands are similary the families of <I>Wordstar</I>-like or <I>Emacs</I> or <I>Pico</I> or <I>vi</I> or <I>Nedit</I> editors. For online help press ESC:h in vi mode, else Alt-H.

There is no predefined UNDO level count. You can expect to UNDO at least <I>one</I> last insert-, delete-, overwrite- or sed_pipe-operation, but in most cases there are <I>lots</I> of UNDO stages available. e3 has a fixed size undo buffer and will use an external helper file if some deleted data is bigger sized than the undo buffer. This buffer is organized as a ring, overwriting older UNDO information if neccessary. So one never can say exactly how many UNDO operations are possible. For using the UNDO press one of: <DL> <DT><B>^U </B></DT> <DD>in Wordstar mode </DD> <DT><B>^QU </B></DT> <DD>in Pico mode </DD> <DT><B>^_ </B></DT> <DD>in Emacs mode </DD> <DT><B>u </B></DT> <DD>in vi command mode </DD> <DT><B>^U </B></DT> <DD>in Nedit mode <P> </DD> </DL> <H2><A NAME="sect5" HREF="#toc5">Built in Calculator</A></H2> <P> <I>e3</I> has an arithmetic calculator built in for some simple arithmetic calculations inside your text.

Use the values between -999999999999.999999 ... 999999999999.999999 with up to 6 decimal digits and the operators +-*/ and parenthesis ( ). Also available are p for constant <P> PI and r for accessing the result of last calculation <P> <P> <H2><A NAME="sect6" HREF="#toc6">Runtime Mode Switching</A></H2> <P> You can switch to other editor mode by pressing one of: <DL> <DT><B>^KM </B></DT> <DD>in Wordstar mode </DD> <DT><B>^QM </B></DT> <DD>in Pico mode </DD> <DT><B>altX </B></DT> <DD>in Emacs mode </DD> <DT><B><ESC>; </B></DT> <DD>in vi command mode </DD> <DT><B>^E </B></DT> <DD>in Nedit mode </DD> </DL> <P> e3 will set a prompt <I>SET MODE</I> .
