   SREN is  a full screen file renaming utility.   It uses VLIB4D and its TCAP
for some simple line drawing and cursor on/off, if available.

   SRENINST is the install program  for  setting  up  control key bindings and
default flags to your preference.

    Syntax   SREN [dir:]<mask>


The mask is automatically wild-carded,  and all matching directory entries are
loaded into SREN's internal table.


     Examples:

          SREN           All files in current directory.
          SREN SYS:Z     Load SYS:Z*.*

 Usage 

   Filenames are edited in  Insert or Overwrite mode.   Illegal filename chars
are not accepted.   (The list of excluded characters may be patched.)   On CR,
the file is renamed if changed.   When moving the cursor to another line,  any
file renaming must take place first.   A configuration byte determines whether
you are asked about it first.

   The attributes are edited in a separate field.   <TAB> switches between the 
filename field and the attribute field.   To change  attributes  individually, 
use cursor control or  <SP> then  press  S(et),  R(eset),  or  (T)oggle.   For 
convenience, an attribute setting macro may be defined.   Executing  the macro 
then sets the attributes of the current file - from either editing field.  The
macro has three modes:

     1.  Set   - set specified attributes, reset all others.
     2.  Mask  - set specified attributes, leave others alone.
     3.  Reset - reset specified attributes, leave others alone.

   SREN displays a command summary on the right side of the screen.  ^J cycles
the help screen through several sub-screens.
