                  Version 4.4 of the CHEF editor
                  ==============================

    The  latest  version  of the CHEF editor contains a number of
new features, and one or two minor changes.  The machine-readable
user documents have been updated, as  has  the  help  information
available  from  CHEF  itself.   This  document  provides a brief
summary of those new features and changes.

    A new operator F (Fold) is available for splitting lines into
two; it complements the M (Merge) operator.

    The operator A (Alter) provides a  method  of  editing  lines
using  templates typed in at the console or read from a file.  It
is of particular use when the line to be edited contains a lot of
special characters such as *, / etc.

    There  are  two  new  modifiers  to  the  X operator.  The XC
command re-executes the last non-trivial command which was given;
the XA command also does this, after giving you an opportunity to
correct or change the command using the  facilities  provided  by
the A operator.

    There  is  an  additional modifier to the P operator.  The PM
command is followed by a pattern; it gives you details  of  every
'match' of that pattern in the specified range of lines.

    There  is one change to the RI command which should be noted;
to confirm that a replacement is to be actioned,  you  must  type
'y'  or 'Y'; the character '.' is no longer accepted.  This is to
preserve  orthogonality  with  the  meaning  of   '.'   elsewhere
(e.g. within the A operator).
