		WS-6 - Enhanced WordStar 6.0 Emulation for VEDIT
		------------------------------------------------

The supplied WS-6.* files emulate WordStar 6.0 much more closely than the
simple WORDSTAR.KEY file.

WS-6 sets up an extensive {USER} menu with hot-keys that perform many block
functions. This is necessary because many of WordStar's block functions are
subtly different from VEDIT.

Many thanks to Peter Freed of Data Base Management Systems, Inc. for creating
this WordStar emulation package.

==> To use the WS-6 emulation files, perform the following steps:

1.  In DOS, change to your VEDIT Home Directory, e.g. "c:\vedit".

2.  Copy the WS-6.* files from the "WS-6" subdirectory to the current
    directory. E.g. give the command:

	copy \vedit\ws-6\ws-6.* \vedit

3.  Run VEDIT and select {MISC, Keyboard layout, Load from disk}. Select
    the filename "WS-6.KEY".

    (This loads the WordStar keyboard layout.)

4.  Select {CONFIG, Save into VEDIT} to make the keyboard layout permanent.

5.  Edit the STARTUP.VDM file.

    Delete any existing "Reg_Load(119,...)" and "Reg_Load(124,...)" commands.

    Paste the following two lines into STARTUP.VDM. Placement is not
    important, but they must appear before the typical last line of
    "Reg_Empty(100)".

	Reg_Load(119,"WS-6.CMD",APPEND+EXTRA+NOERR)
	Reg_Load(124,"WS-6.MNU",APPEND+EXTRA+NOERR)

    (This sets up the {USER} menu. Text register 119 is set up with a library
    of subroutine macros accessed by the new {USER} menu.)

6.  Save the STARTUP.VDM file and exit VEDIT.
    
Each time you run VEDIT, the WS-6 WordStar emulation files are automatically
loaded.  Be sure to examine the {USER} menu on the main menu bar.


Notes:
------

The file WS-6.SRC is the commented source for WS-6.CMD. WS-6.SRC is supplied
for your reference, should you desire the modify this emulation package.

WS-6.CMD is created from WS-6.SRC with the CMD-CONV.VDM macro, and selecting
menu item "[4]".
