SYMPTOMS
========
If an option is added to the TOOLS.INI file under the PWB tag to read either
"Edit:yes" or "Edit:no", PWB returns the following error message:
Edit is not an editor switch.
CAUSE
=====
The edit switch for the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB), documented on page 79 of
the Microsoft C version 6.0 "Microsoft C Reference" manual, is not implemented
in PWB versions 1.0 and 1.1. The documentation is incorrect.
RESOLUTION
==========
To open a file as read only, invoke PWB with the /r option.
