This is a brief description of how to work this wordprocessor.
On the line below 1 stands for function key 1. If you press that key you reset
the left margin.
On the line below 3 stands for function key 3. If you press that key you reset
the right margin.
Similarly LINEi means insert a line, LINEd means delete a line, SAVE means save
a what you have typed, QUIT means quit without saving, ALT gives you all the
characters you normally can not type form the keyboard, REFORM reforms small
paragraphs, and PRINT prints text.
The numbers in the middle stand for the cursor row and column position.
If this program bombs out on you try pushing F1 just after seeing the error
message, usually you will go right back into the letter you were working on.
All the keys on the keyboard such as Home, End, Pg UP, Pg DN, Ins, Del, Tab,
backspace delete, tab and shift backtab work as you would expect.
To move text eat the letters up with the backspace delete key, then move cursor
where you want the text to appear and press the tab key. You can repeat this
process. To get the tab key acting normally, type in any usual character of
the alphabet.
To center text on a line type the 1 while holding down the ALT key.
To get the cursor moving slowly wait one second between times you touch the
arrow keys. To get the cursor moving quickly, touch the arrow keys as quick as
you can.
For those of you with 48 K, change line 50 so that variable AMAP=66 instead of
AMAP=133. For some of you, calling FORMGEN with trash still in your memory,
will not work because it takes up every square bit, yet fits all
the way in there!
This program creates a Backup file of the previous letter. You can activate it
through BASIC or DOS by renaming it with the extension TXT.
