\chapter{Rawtext: A text object that doesn't save styles

}
\section{What rawtext is

}\leftindent{
Rawtext was designed for editing files such as \italic{.login}, 
\italic{.cshrc}, \italic{.ezinit}, \italic{preferences}, and other files that 
the operating system expects to be plain, "raw" text, with no style 
information or ATK datastream tokens (\\begindata, etc) in them.

}
\section{Starting rawtext

}\leftindent{
Rawtext will be used whenever you \bold{ez} a file that has been specified in 
\italic{.ezinit} or \italic{global.ezinit} as being "rawtext".  For example:


	addfiletype .cshrc rawtext

}
\section{Special keys

}
\leftindent{Rawtext remaps certain keys to perform certain functions.  They 
are:


\bold{The Insert key.}


\leftindent{[Ins] toggles between the normal "insert" mode, and "overstrike 
mode".  Overstrike mode makes new characters type over existing characters, 
except for tabs and newlines.

}
}\section{Customizing rawtext in your preferences file

}
\leftindent{For more information, see the help text for 
 \helptopic{preferences} .  Rawtext allows you to specify certain preferences, 
listed below.  Default values are shown in italic.


\bold{rawtext.NewlineAtEOF:} \italic{no}

This preference specifies whether a newline character should be added to the 
end of the saved file if there isn't one there already.  This preference sets 
the "default" for \underline{all} rawtext editing, but its value can be 
overridden for certain file extensions with the "newline-at-eof" ezinit 
option, below.

}
\section{Customizing rawtext in your .ezinit file

}
\leftindent{For more information, see the help text for  \helptopic{initfiles} 
.


\leftindent{\bold{newline-at-eof \italic{<see note>}}

If non-zero, will add a carriage return to the end of the saved file if there 
isn't one there already.  \italic{<note: the default value is whatever the 
\bold{rawtext.NewlineAtEOF} preference is set to.>}


\bold{overstrike \italic{0}}

If non-zero, the editor will be in overstrike mode at startup.

}}
\section{Warnings

}\leftindent{
It \italic{is} still possible to paste in styled text, or even add templates. 
 However, these styles will \underline{NOT} be saved with the file.
