It depends which editor you've got, as there are about seven
available now. If it's John Elliott's JSWED (which from the sound of
things, I think it is), it's not too difficult to figure out. What

There are indeed two versions. The Software Projects release is
actually the later release, the first and slightly different version
is from Bug Byte software
""But at the time all these computers were popular, there were very
few female users.""
I've noticed. Up until the mid-nineties I think, women were pretty
much written off as gamers. I've mentioned before in this club that
the first game I ever saw targetted at a female audience was "Barbie
Goes Shopping"
