Abstract: When you run this program on a appropriate terminal, then the 
          screen is erased and a prompt ask you for your login-password. 
          You can't do anything on this terminal until you gave the correct 
          password. The SYSGEN-parameters LGI_BRK_LIM and LGI_HID_TIM are 
          considered for granting access to the teminalsession. Failures 
          are logged on OPCOM.
	  This Version is only for VMS Versions 5.4 and higher!

The VTEDIT Editing Interface for VAXTPU

  The Video Terminal Editor VTEDIT is an editing interface for  the  VAX  Text
  Processing  Utility  VAXTPU available under VAX/VMS. The VTEDIT interface is
  an efficient,  keypad  driven  editor  allowing  multi  window  editing  and
  providing   semi   automatic,  context  dependent  text  formatting.  VTEDIT
  implements, among others, the following features:

    -  support for multi file and multi buffer editing with optional selection
       of files and buffers via wildcards;

    -  support for split screen editing using an optional second  window  into
       the same or another text buffer;

    -  selection of insert and overstrike mode of editing;

    -  selection of free and bound cursor movement;

    -  many additional editor functions, like:

        +  (search and) replace operations,
        +  global search and replace on all buffers,
        +  rectangular cut, paste, and delete operations,
        +  pattern-directed replacement operations,
        +  operations to remember and retrieve buffer positions,
        +  insertion of date, time, file and buffer names,
        +  case and position control for searches,
        +  case conversion and capitalization of words,
        +  center line and fill paragraph operations,
        +  control of tabulator setting and margins via a ruler,
        +  operations to replace Tabs with spaces and vice versa,
        +  deletion of trailing blanks,
        +  sorting of buffers and ranges,
        +  wildcard filename search and selection with semi-automatic  loading
           of the next file(s) or all remaining files,
        +  selection of user and system buffers from a list;

    -  support for pattern-directed search based on:

        +  TECO match control constructs,
        +  VAXTPU pattern built-in procedures,
        +  EVE-like VMS search patterns ("wildcards"),
        +  ULTRIX-like regular expressions;

    -  journaling the editing session in order to protect against loss of work
       in case of a crash:

        +  as keystroke journaling,
        +  as journaling of changes to the individual buffers;

    -  access to the VMS operating system via DCL, Spawn and Attach commands;

    -  access to  VAXTPU  with  possiblities  to  extend  the  VTEDIT  editing
       interface;

    -  an extensible interface to the VMS programming facilities;

    -  optional semi automatic, context dependent  text  formatting  providing
       the following functions:
        +  case conversion / automatic case control,
        +  automatic indentation,
        +  manual correction of indentation,
        +  automatic word wrap (possibly context-dependent),
        +  automatic line justification,
        +  optional automatic insertion  of  closing  parentheses  and  string
           delimiters,
        +  optional highlighting  of  the  matching  opening  parenthesis  and
           string delimiter;

    -  no (practical) restrictions as to the  maximum  size  of  texts  to  be
       edited;

    -  command driven line mode editing, available also on non-ANSI  terminals
       and from batch files;

    -  menu selection of editor commands;

    -  optional EDT keypad emulation;

    -  use of the mouse as positioning and command input device;

    -  extensive online help;

    -  optional access to the features of the  Language-Sensitive  Editor  VAX
       LSE, providing operations to:

        +  fill and align program comments,
        +  specify a directory search list,
        +  retrieve sources from a CMS library,
        +  protect buffers against modification,
        +  control the LSE code elision features,
        +  move to and/or delete placeholders,
        +  expand tokens, routines, placeholders, and aliases,
        +  define aliases for use in later expansions,
        +  insert and use pseudocode and overviews,
        +  compile sources and review errors,
        +  locate errors and retrieve the corresponding source text,
        +  load language definitions and environments at run time,
        +  access the LSE command interpreter directly;

    -  optional access to the features of the Source Code  Analyzer  VAX  SCA,
       providing operations to:

        +  find declarations of symbols,
        +  list positions of variable declarations and/or references,
        +  retrieve corresponding sources,
        +  access the SCA command interpreter directly.
