contents there.  Start Hexedit on the command line  with a filename, for
example:

Or, start Hexedit without specifiying  any command line and start at the
file box menu,  navigate using cursor keys,  selecting with <enter>, and
switch windows with <tab>, and Shift-<tab>.  Exits to editor or DOS with
<escape>. Select files, directories, and drives with left mouse click.

After entering the editor,  use editing functions and use cursor keys or
mouse to move through the hex values,  while changing them with <enter>,
<delete>, or <insert> as you edit.  Use the mouse to position over bytes
and select them  with left mouse click or  select them for  editing with
right mouse click.

list of keys.  Edit  HEXEDIT.CFG  for customizing.  Read HEXEDIT.DOC for

Use the drop down menu selections with Escape,  moving through them with
Left/Right/Up/Down cursor keys.  Select a menu selection with Enter, and
exit the menus with Escape.

Hilight areas with Shift-<key>  and mouse drag.  Copy areas to clipboard
with  Control-C and paste  into any loaded  file  with Control-V,  using
Control-X to undo paste, and Control-Z to undo all pastes.
