   NTS is the same basic program as  NT 4.6  except that a  full screen editor
has been  substituted  for  NT's  line  editor.   The NTS editor is limited in
function,  consistent with NTS's limited aspirations.   It does include  right
margin set, word wrap, and rudimentary reformat to new margins (as long as you
don't get fancy).  For Z3PLUS, ZCPR3.0+ with Extended TCAP.

 Syntax   NTS [DIR:][FILE][.TYP]

   Save note to specified file.   If the file already exists, the text entered
will be appended to it.   If the file extension is omitted,  a default type is
automatically inserted.

   If no file is specified on the command line, NTS will prompt the user for a
filespec on exit.   If no filename is given, a default file name,  drive,  and
user area are used for output [these are configurable].


         IMPORTANT:  A filename with a blank .TYP cannot be opened by 
         NT unless the default file type has been patched to '   '.  
         (Such a file would have been created with another program.)

 Patches 

   ZCNFG.COM, available publicly  at  no  charge, is  highly recommended.  Put
ZCNFG and NTS.CFG in the same drive and user area and type

      ZCNFG NTS

   ZCNFG will guide you through  a menu-driven installation session, including
online help.

   If you wish to configure the NTS  command  set,  edit the file  NTSOVL.Z80,
assemble it to a HEX file and overlay NTS.COM.
