A beginner's guide to aXe
*************************

aXe's primary aim is to provide an easy introduction to text editing,
but it is hoped that it is also sufficiently flexible to continue to
meet most users' needs as their editing skills develop.

aXe can be used to edit several files at once, with each file being
allocated to an editing buffer. An aXe window may support multiple
buffers, but only one will be visible at any given time. The user
determines the allocation of files to buffers, and hence to windows.
