This is why I have arrived at the combination of euse (and now
`equery
uses`) to view USE descriptions and flagedit for setting them. I

that from a usability point of view these are easier than either ufed
or a text editor.
except that you obviously did not use ufed.
You can be very combative in debate, Volker.
I *have* used ufed, and I didn't like it. It's just a personal
preference, and not an insult to you. I'm sorry if you're the author.
If I offend you by having a preference for other software than ufed,
imagine how Microsoft's programmers must hurt, being shunned by all of
us on this list.
I didn't know that you could scroll the descriptions left and right. I
guess this is because I expect such a simple piece of interactive
software to be intuitive, so I never read the manual. I don't happen
to find ufed's other commands terribly intuitive, either - surely it's
just me, but I tend to find myself typing "q" then "Q" when I want to
quit it. In the space at the bottom of the window - where it tells me
the correct keys - there is room to add "<-, -> Scroll Description"; I
suggest you do so, if you are indeed ufed's author, so you don't have
to call anyone else a retard (or a liar) in the future. I happen to
find the description scrolls a little too slowly for my purposes, BTW.
Stroller.
