for version 2.1


Description
-----------

The Windows(R) interface makes it possible to use cut/copy/paste between 
Smooth Editor and Windows applications, to use drag/drop from the file manager 
and to have Smooth Editor close down like other applications under Windows, 
with a save file query if necessary, when you exit Windows.


Using SEWIN
-----------
To use this interface you need the files SE.EXE, SEWIN.EXE and SE.PIF to be in 
the same directory. You can start up Smooth Editor with Windows interface by 
executing SEWIN.EXE from Windows. The command line options are the same as for 
SE.EXE, except for the /r command line option (see below). These can be viewed 
by using SE /? in DOS. If you have SEWIN running, don't start SE.EXE from a 
DOS-box or from another program (for instance from an email program). If you 
want to do this, see the section about the /r command line option below.

When SEWIN is active, you can copy or cut text in any Windows application and 
then paste in Smooth Editor. You can also copy or cut text in SE and paste it 
in a Windows application.

You can drag filenames of files you want to edit from Window's File Manager 
and drop them on the SEWIN icon.

If you want to you can start SEWIN up as an icon, for instance by clicking on 
the icon in Program Manager with the shift key down. When you drop filenames 
on the icon, SEWIN will start up with these files.


The /r command line option
--------------------------
This option is made to be able to start SE from another DOS program or from a 
DOS box. If you execute SEWIN with this option, the Windows interface will 
become resident. If a version of SE.EXE is started up it will recognize that 
SEWIN is active and it will be possible to cut/copy/paste from and to other 
Windows applications. This is useful if you want to start SE up from other DOS 
programs and still want the Windows interface. If you exit SE the SEWIN 
program will remain resident. Be careful not to start up more than one version 
of SE.
