following options:
- Show toolbar: When on, the toolbar (list of buttons at the
top of the edit window) is shown.
- Show cursor line number: When on, the current line number
is permanently displayed at the bottom of the screen.

- Make backup when saving: When on, Red will make a backup
of the original version of a file before overwriting it.
The backup file name consists of the original file
name with a ".~"-suffix.
- Always end file with Newline character: Some application
expect all their input files to end with a "NewLine" character.
(You get a "NewLine" character by typing "Enter" or "Return".)
If this option is on, Red will add a NewLine at the end of the
file whan saving if it does not have one.
- Automatically convert DOS files while loading: When on, and
a file is loaded that is found to be in DOS format (lines are
ended with CR/LF rather than the Unix standard LF only), the
CR is automatically stripped from the file.

when using the function
comment.

function from the Edit menu), you have the option of "quoting"

All settings apply to all edit windows. Preferences are saved
and remain the same in future sessions.
