+== f
+* Requires version 0.7.2 and above.
+    f
+This command shows the ''filename''.
+    f file.txt
+This command sets ''filename'' to file.txt. You can choose your own ''filename'' or use file.txt if you are bored.
+== w
+* Requires version 0.7.2 and above.
+    w
+This command writes the buffer to ''filename'' (see ''f'' above).
+Always remember to save your work before quitting.
+== e, E
+    e
+''e'' with no argument reloads the current ''filename'' as set by ''f'' or a previous ''e''.
+    e myfile.txt
+This clears the entire buffer, loads the file into the buffer, sets the ''filename''. Any unsaved changes are lost.
+If the buffer is dirty, e warns with ? (like q). E forces it without warning.
