  The following mapping is done :

When the command mode is activated (L+Select) then a ':' is prompted in bottom
left corner. 
You can then use the following "VI like" commands :

- '/pattern' to search forward for a pattern in the file from current cursor
  position.  If you press X or <ENTER> then you will go to next occurence.
  IF you want to escape the command mode then press <ESCAPE> or L+Select.

- '?pattern' to search backward for a pattern in the file from current cursor
  position.  If you press X or <ENTER> then you will go to next occurence.
  IF you want to escape the command mode then press <ESCAPE> or L+Select.

- 'number_line' to go directly to 'number_line' position.

In command mode you can use the left/rigth pad in first position to select 
the command you want and then use 'space' to select that command.
You can also use up/down pad to go in command history.


4. SETTINGS
   ------------

  The editor menu let you change colors and some other options.
  If you want to change the background or foreground color in 
  the editor window or to toggle between DOS mode (with \r\n 
  characters for cariage return), to expand tabulations etc ...
 
  WARNING: This editor will replace all tabulation by spaces when
  the expand tab option is set. You can specify the number of 
  spaces in options menu.

  You can use the virtual keyboard in the file requester menu 
  to choose the first letter of the file you search.

5. SYNTAX
   ------------

Depending of the file extention, PSPWrite will use the syntax.cfg
configuration file to automatically colorised keywords etc ... 
For now it supports only Lua and C/C++ syntax, but you can add your 
own in syntax.cfg file, taken C/C++ as an example. 


6. RECENT FILES 
   ------------

All previously loaded files should appear in the Recent files menu. 
It might help to go directly to the position you where when 
you last edit that file.
  

7. COMPILATION
   ------------

It has been developped under Linux using gcc with PSPSDK. 
To rebuild the homebrew run the Makefile in the src archive.
