 Command:  Options/Loom/Weave                     < OLW >
 Purpose:  Commence weaving with the CAW loom interface        
 Information:
     This provides a dual window display showing the current 
     weaving and a weaving pointer in a second window.  
     Arrow keys, a mouse, and activating the CAW device switches 
     controls the weaving pointer and the lifting of harnesses. 

     Available keys and CAW inputs are given on the help screen 
     when you press the help key <?> during weaving. 
 Comments:
     In simulation mode, you can use the CAW Recorder to create a 
     new weft pattern sequence, and then a new weft, whether or 
     not you have a CAW interface to the loom.

 Command:  Options/Loom/CAWeave Editor            < OLC > 
 Purpose:  SWITCH--control availability of CAW window        
 Information:
     With this switch ON, the CAW control window appears in the 
     editor when you request Edit/Weaving or Edit/Weft/Edit.

     This allows you to edit the weaving design concurrently with 
     weaving it to the loom.

     Available keys and CAW inputs are given on the help screen 
     when you press the help key <?> during weaving. 
 Comments:
     Simulation mode works with the integrated CAWeaver window as 
     well as Options/Loom/Weave.

 Command:  Options/Loom/Begin with Row            < OLB > 
 Purpose:  SETTING--maintains record of next row to weave    
 Information:
     You can reset your starting row with this option.  

     You can also select which row to begin with simply by moving 
     the pointer with the arrow keys and/or scrolling the CAW 
     window.
 Comments:
     The last row woven is stored in the weaving file.  By 
     resaving your weaving after each weaving session, this value 
     can be updated.

 Command:  Options/Loom/Direction                 < OLD >
 Purpose:  SETTING--Control current "Gear" of CAWeaving      
 Information:
     Three gears are available: Forward, Reverse, and Neutral.

     As you might think, Forward causes the pointer to advance 
     after weaving each row; Reverse moves the pointer backwards; 
     and Neutral leaves the pointer stationary.
 Comments:
     The Direction is controlled during CAWeaving by the CAW 
     device Gear switch.

     During Simulation, the Gear switch is the keyboard Shift 
     Key.

 Command:  Options/Loom/Record Rows               < OLR >
 Purpose:  SWITCH--Control CAW Recorder of Weft Seqence      
 Information:
     When the switch is ON, the CAW Recorder stores the sequence 
     of weft rows woven to the Loom or in Simulation.

     If OFF, no rows are recorded.

     By saving and reloading the .PSQ file of the recorded weft 
     sequence, you can create a revised Pattern draft of what was 
     actually woven to the loom.  Simply use File/Save/Recording 
     at the end of each weaving session, and File/Load/Recording 
     when you resume weaving.  
     
     To create the revised draft when the weaving is complete, 
     use File/Save/Loom Weft followed by File/Load/Weft with the 
     same name--then File/Save/Weaving to resave the revised 
     pattern as a whole weaving file with a new name.
 Comments:
     To create a revised weft pattern with Simulation mode, the
     process is identical to the above.  You create a new 
     weft pattern by simulating weaving a sequence of rows you 
     select, then save the sequence as a Recording and as Loom 
     Weft.  Reload the Loom Weft file with File/Load/Weft and a 
     new weaving is created.

 Command:  Options/Loom/New Record                < OLN > 
 Purpose:  Reset and erase the CAW Recorder      
 Information:
     The only way to undo this is to save the sequence with 
     File/Save/Recording BEFORE selecting New Record.
 Comments:
     The last row recorded is shown on the menu, but you cannot
     adjust this value except by starting over.

 Command:  Options/Loom/Setup                     < OLS > 
 Purpose:  MENU--Configure the CAW device and Simulation
 Information:
     This menu provides access to the Simulation switch as well 
     as the various configuration options for the loom interface.
 Comments:
     Leave Simulation mode ON if you don't have a CAW device.  
     Turning simulation OFF can hang up the program without a CAW 
     device; usually disconnecting the printer cable will return 
     you to the menu--or you can reboot.

 Command:  Options/Loom/Setup/Parallel Port       < OLSP > 
 Purpose:  SETTING--Select port for CAW device cable
 Information:
     IBM compatible computers can have up to three parallel 
     ports.  If you have two ports, you can use one for your 
     printer and LPT2 for the CAW device.  
 Comments:
     If you have only one port, leave this set for LPT1. 

     An additional parallel port can be purchased for well under 
     50 dollars.

 Command:  Options/Loom/Setup/CAW Harnesses       < OLSC >
 Purpose:  SETTING--Select maximum harnesses for CAW device
 Information:
     The CAW device is available in models capable of controlling 
     8, 16, 24, or 32 harnesses.
 Comments:
     You must set the configuration correctly for your interface 
     or it will not work.

     The CAW harnesses setting is different from the current 
     harness limit for any particular weaving.

 Command:  Options/Loom/Setup/Negative CAW bits   < OLSN > 
 Purpose:  SWITCH--Reverse the harness lifting signals
 Information:
     Some mechanical CAW configurations require that all UNlifted
     harnesses be signaled as opposed to Lifted harnesses.

     With this switch ON, CAW interface reverses all data bit 
     signals for this type of loom mechanics.

 Command:  Options/Loom/Setup/Simulation with Sound < WLSS > 
 Purpose:  SWITCH--Select Simulation or CAW weaving
 Information:
     WARNING:  Leave Simulation ON UNLESS you have a CAW 
     interface attached.  In this mode, the space bar or mouse 
     button "weave" the row, and the Shift key is the direction 
     Gear switch.  As each row is weave simulated by pressing
     the space bar, the computer makes a sound pattern determined 
     by the harness combinations for the row.

     Turning Simulation OFF activates the CAW interface.  Control
     of the CAW pointer's Lift and Shift functions must come from 
     the CAW device.  Weft rows to weave can be selected with the 
     keyboard arrows.  In this state, Patternland MUST interact 
     correctly through the parallel port with the CAW device or 
     the program will hang up.  Disconnecting the printer cable 
     or rebooting are the only options if Simulation is turned 
     OFF without a CAW device. 
 Comments:
     Simulation with Sound ON is the program default.

 Command:  Options/Loom/Setup/BIOS Test of LPT Port < WLSB >
 Purpose:  TESTING--Report current status of parallel port
 Information:
     This facility continuously monitors the status of six
     parallel port pins and allows you to fire the eight data
     pins individually or by sending a bit pattern as a byte.

     The currently configured CAW parallel port is used.
 Comments:
     This is a feedback testing feature designed to provide
     diagnostic information on the functioning of the CAW device.

 Command:  Options/Loom/Setup/Frequency or Time< OLSF or OLST >
 Purpose:  SETTINGS--control pitch and duration of beeps
 Information:
     Patternland warns you when you are nearing the end of a
     screen of weaving while controlling the loom.  These
     settings allow you to control the pitch and duration
     of the warning beep.
 Comments:
     Frequency in Hertz=Setting X 10. Except: 0=Bell.
     Time in milliseconds=Setting X 10.  Except: 0=50ms
