ME myfile.txt
When starting, myfile.txt gets opened.
If the filename contains spaces, type "file name" or 'file name'.
ME let you set the cursor position from the commandline:
ME myfile.txt;5
filename;paragraph number
ME myfile.txt;5:30
filename;paragraph number:column number
ME filename1.txt filename2.txt filename3.txt
The following parameters are passed to additional instances of ME.EXE.
ME filen*.txt
If only one single file fits the wildcard expression, it gets opened immediately. If more than one file fits the expression, the file-open dialog will be opened and you will see a list of files matching the expression.
ME batch.cmd
Entering a filename ending with .CMD and without backslash will execute the specific file which is part of the first directory in the PATH environment variable. So you can edit valid CMD files from everywhere.
Showing stdin - a substitute for the "MORE" command
dir *.* | ME IN
opens ME in multi-threading mode and reads the stdin. That means "ME IN" is a substitute for "MORE". You can use the editor while the stdin data gets appended to the end of the text (You'll see the vertical scrollbar getting updated continously). If ME has been started in Stdin-Mode, you won't get queried to save the file when leaving ME !
There are three different kinds of stdin functionality:
dir *.* | ME IN
the first page is shown, the cursor rests at the beginning
dir *.* | ME INS
scroll mode. Always shows the last page
dir *.* | ME INP
if one page is full, it is switched to next page without scrolling (like Page Down)
