Fixed the last thing that seems to really bug people - and I must admit that after looking around the non-modal find and replace dialogs are more common. I was influenced by my development tool (Sibyl/Delphi).

1.8.3
Find/Replace dialogs now non-modal like old E.
First time position is screen center.
Own help file can now be language-specific, as for interface.
Also look in %OSDIR%lang and %ULSPATH% for language files.
AE is a simple text editor, designed to replace IBM's original OS/2 E.EXE. It mostly behaves the same, except for where behaviour has become annoying, irrelevant or inconsistent with other systems/programs.
Features
--------
Fixes these Stupid Things About E:
- "Type of file" dialog.
- EOF byte (Hex 1A, Dec 26) added at end of files
- Shift + Page up/down does not select
- Ctrl + Page up/down does something useless
- Refusal to save file if it thinks it isn't changed.
- Requirement for Extended Attribute support when saving
- No File - Exit
- Find combined with replace
- Word wrap switch is peculiar
- No shortcuts for file open etc
- No display of line, column or mode
- Task list entry does not show filename
- Vertical scrollbar blank space at end
- Silly horizontal scrollbar when wrapping
Enhancements (intended to be minimal!):
- Timed autosave as well as "number of changes"
- Print
- If file is read-only, text is (initially) read-only
