+SciTE is a SCIntilla based Text Editor. Originally built to demonstrate
+Scintilla, it has grown to be a generally useful editor with facilities 
+for building and running programs. It is best used for jobs with simple 
+configurations. 
+
+There is an example configuration file (SciTEUser.properties) provided 
+with the tarball. If you'd like to use it (at your own risk), learn the
+different options, rename it to .SciTEUser.properties and place it under
+your user's home directory.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
