This batch file loads TECH Help! as a TSR, setting its hot keys to
Ctrl+F1 and Ctrl+F2 (/K=CF1,CF2) to avoid conflict with keys used by the
MS-DOS Edit program. It then runs Edit, passing it a filename to edit.
When you exit from Edit, the batch file then unloads TECH Help! from
memory. Example...
ed myprog.asm
...will edit MYPROG.ASM and let you use Ctrl+F1 to popup TECH Help!
while editing.
