Fixed the last thing that seems to really bug people - and I must  admit 
that after looking around the non-modal find and replace dialogs are  more
common. I was influenced by my development tool (Sibyl/Delphi).

1.8.3
  Find/Replace dialogs now non-modal like old E.
  First time position is screen center.
  Own help file can now be language-specific, as for interface.
  Also look in %OSDIR%\lang and %ULSPATH% for language files.


AE is a simple text editor, designed to replace IBM's original OS/2 
E.EXE. It mostly behaves the same, except for where behaviour has  become 
annoying, irrelevant or inconsistent with other systems/programs.

Features
--------

Fixes these Stupid Things About E:
 - "Type of file" dialog.
 - EOF byte (Hex 1A, Dec 26) added at end of files
 - Shift + Page up/down does not select
 - Ctrl + Page up/down does something useless
 - Refusal to save file if it thinks it isn't changed.
 - Requirement for Extended Attribute support when saving
 - No File - Exit
 - Find combined with replace
 - Word wrap switch is peculiar
 - No shortcuts for file open etc
 - No display of line, column or mode
 - Task list entry does not show filename
 - Vertical scrollbar blank space at end
 - Silly horizontal scrollbar when wrapping

Enhancements (intended to be minimal!):
 - Timed autosave as well as "number of changes"
 - Print
 - If file is read-only, text is (initially) read-only
