The Cobwebb Editor is used to enter text for a message or standard document (which may be included in a message).  The editor may be selected when sending a Fax or Email message, or when preparing Standard Text or revising a queue entry.

The maximum number of lines which the editor can process is 999.

Text is keyed, line-by-line, until the message is complete or the screen is full.  When the screen is full, press Enter to continue with the next screen.  When wordwrap is on, lines are adjusted following Enter being pressed.

In normal text mode the screen is 69 characters wide with word wrap occurring if the 69th character of a line is not blank.  If F19/20 are used to window to right of the 69th character or if line drawing characters are used, extended text mode is entered and word wrap will not function.

The top line of the edit display identifies the message or standard text you are editing.  Next to the word Edit there may be a B (denoting baudot character checking is on  see System Parameters for further details), followed by a W (denoting that wordwrap is on - use F7 to toggle this).  You may enter the following values on the second line of the edit display:
