\E \V2=INTRODUCTION TO PC-FOIL \L \c{^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} \c| INTRODUCTION TO PC-FOIL ` \c[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] \n PC-FOIL is the program that allows you to print files that have been created with FOIL-EDIT. When you completed the tutorial, you saw how the two programs work together to produce high quality output. If you have not yet read the "TUTORIAL" or the chapter titled "USING FOIL-EDIT", it is probably better to read them first because we will be referring to information in those chapters. PC-FOIL reads a document file from the disk. This file has commands in it to tell PC-FOIL how to print the document. These commands control spacing, print size, centering, boxes, and many other features that give you attractive documents. See the chapter on PC-FOIL COMMANDS for information on how to use the commands. To start PC-FOIL, put the program disk in drive A and a data disk in drive B. Then enter the following: A>PC-FOIL (enter) (program name on disk) (or) A>F (enter) (a short cut) You can also get to PC-FOIL directly from FOIL-EDIT by entering an F on the FOIL-EDIT menu screen. You should now see the PC-FOIL menu screen (Figure 2). Take a closer look at the menu screen for PC-FOIL. It looks similar to the FOIL-EDIT menu screen that we have already looked at, but if you look closely, you can see some differences. There is a list of commands, an information line, a list of the files on the data disk, and a command line. SELECTION ==> This is where you enter the commands. Let's look in more detail at the commands that you can enter. Here is what you see at the top of the menu: {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | ` | * Filename to be queued * P to Print queued files ` | * D to specify output Device * ! to specify emphasized print ` | * O to turn overflow on/off * V to specify Variables ` | * A:-D: to change data disk * # for selective page range ` | * Q to clear foil queue * .xxx to change ext. & profile ` | * * to display all files * S for single,double,triple Space` | * C to specify multiple Copies * L to specify Letter size ` | * E to invoke FOIL-EDIT * X to exit to DOS ` | ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] \e {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Building the Print Queue ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] One of the first things that we have to do is to name the files that we want to print. We can print one file or several files. Just enter the file name on the selection line. SELECTION ==>test (enter) (select file for printing) This will name a file B:TEST.FOI for printing. If you look at the information line, you should see: QUEUE:B:test.FOI This is the document that we created with FOIL-EDIT earlier. Several documents can be printed at one time. To print another document with it, just enter another name now. You should next determine where you want to print your output. Enter the following: SELECTION ==>d (enter) (select output Device) You will then get the following message asking where to print the document: OUTPUT DEVICE: P=Printer S=Screen D=Disk You can print to the printer, a screen, or to a disk file. The screen is normally used to preview the information so you don't have to waste a lot of paper. Printing to a disk is used if you would like to save the final document for further processing (e.g. DOS 2.0 PRINT Command) or for sending it to someone over a telephone line. Now to print the document, enter a P. SELECTION ==>P (enter) (print the document) The document will now print. There are two important function keys that you can use while the document is printing. If you decide that you want to cancel the entire printing job, just press the F9 key. It will stop printing and go back to the menu. If you have several documents in the queue and want to just cancel the one that is printing now, press F10. It will go on to the next document. Let's look at some of the other options on the command screen. Several of the commands change defaults that have been set in the PROFILE file. These are changed temporarily here. The next time that you load the program, these options will be set by the profile. To change them permanently, see the PROFILE chapter. You can change the default disk drive and extension as we did with FOIL-EDIT. SELECTION ==>c: (enter) (change default drive to C:) SELECTION ==>.txt (enter) (change extension to .TXT) Here are some others things you can do from the primary menu. SELECTION ==>! (enter) (use double strike on prt) SELECTION ==>L (enter) (change default Letter size) SELECTION ==>S (enter) (single double or triple space) SELECTION ==>C (enter) (how many copies do I want?) SELECTION ==>O (enter) (turn overflow on/off) SELECTION ==>Q (enter) (clear the print QUEUE) SELECTION ==>* (enter) (show all files on the diskette) SELECTION ==>E (enter) (go to FOIL-EDIT) SELECTION ==>X (enter) (go back to DOS) SELECTION ==>V (enter) (type in a variable) Variables allow you to specify a value to be substituted for each printing of a document. For example, a form letter could be sent to multiple people if the name and address were set up as variables. This command allows you to enter the variable values from the keyboard, thereby changing the name and address for each letter. For additional information on variables see the PC-FOIL COMMANDS chapter. SELECTION ==># (enter) (selective page range) Sometimes you might just want to print out a page or a few pages of a document instead of the entire document. This command allows you to select the pages you want printed. SELECTION ==>\\keyword= (enter) (override profile) The profile assigns start-up default values to many things. This command allows you to change any of those values here just by entering the keyword just like it is in the profile. See the PROFILE chapter. \e {^^^^^^^^^^} | OVERFLOW ` [~~~~~~~~~~] Overflow is a very powerful concept. If overflow is on, PC-FOIL will keep track of the page format for you and will skip over the perforation. If overflow is off, you have complete control over where information is printed. The following figure helps to explain the concept. Top of Page {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | | TMARGIN ` (default = 3) | |-------------------` | | TITLES ` (optional) | |-------------------` | | ` | | ` PAGELEN | ` (default=66) | ` | | BODY ` | | ` | | ` | | ` | | ` | | ` | |-------------------` | | FOOTINGS ` (optional) | |-------------------` | | BMARGIN ` (default = 3) End of Page [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] If overflow is turned on, the printer will skip to the top of the first page. It will space the number of spaces to provide a top margin. Then it will print any title lines that you have provided. After the title lines, it will begin printing data until it reaches the end of the body. This is calculated by subtracting the bottom margin and footings from the page length. When it reaches the end of the body, it will print the footings (if any), skip past the bottom margin, and get ready for the next page by repeating the process. You may set the PAGELEN, TMARGIN, and BMARGIN in the profile or with a \\keyword= on the PC-FOIL menu or as a command in the document. NOTE: If there is a place in the document where you don't like what PC-FOIL has done, you can override the overflow by putting a \E command in the document to force a new page. Titles and footings will still be printed. NOTE: There is a mark on the printer to line up the document with the first line of the page. Another good way is to mark a line on the plastic paper guide to line up the sheet in front. \S1 \E \L \s2 \C{^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} \C| PC-FOIL MENU ` \C[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] \S3 \N {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | P C - F O I L ` | ` | ENTER ONE OF FOLLOWING ` | ` | * Filename to be queued * P to Print queued files ` | * D to specify output Device * ! to specify emphasized print ` | * O to turn overflow on/off * V to specify Variables ` | * A:-D: to change data disk * # for selective page range ` | * Q to clear foil queue * .xxx to change ext. & profile ` | * * to display all files * S for single,double,triple Space` | * C to specify multiple Copies * L to specify Letter size ` | * E to invoke FOIL-EDIT * X to exit to DOS ` | ` | DEVICE=GP DISK=B EXT=FOI !=OFF OVERFLOW=ON SIZE=L COPIES=1 SPACE=1 ` | ` | QUEUE:B:PC-FOIL.FOI ` | ` |---------------------- .FOI FILES ON B: --------------------------- ` | PC-FOIL .FOI FOILDOC .FOI TEST .FOI ` | ` |------------------------------------------------------------------- ` | ` | ` | ` | ` | ` | ` | SELECTION ==> ` | ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] NOTES: The QUEUE is a list of files that you would like to have printed. You can continue to enter file names and when you press the P key, they will be printed in the order that you entered them. Valid output devices are Screen (S), IBM Graphics Printer (GP), IBM non-graphics Matrix Printer (MP), Letter non-graphics printer (LP), and Disk spool (GD, MD, and LD for the 3 printer types). The printer type is set in the PROFILE. \cFIGURE 2 \e \V2=DRAWING BOXES \L \C{^^^^^^^^^^^^^} \C|Drawing Boxes` \C[~~~~~~~~~~~~~] \N Drawing boxes is fun! You can draw big boxes, little boxes, boxes within boxes, boxes that overlap other boxes, and boxes connected to each other. Example follows: \\BOXL=219,219,219,219,219,219,219,219 {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | ` | {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} ` {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | | ` ` | ` | | {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} ` ` | {^^^^^^^^^`^^^^^^^^^^^} | | | PC-FOIL ` ` `~~~~~~~| | ` ` | | | ` ` ` | | ` ` | | [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] ` ` [~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~] ` | | ` ` | ` | [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] ` | ` | ` | ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] \\BOXL=196,205,186,186,201,191,211,217 /*G PRT Small Lines (\L) Special characters are used to make the box characters. PC-FOIL translates these characters to the appropriate printer codes to create the box effect. The boxes above were made as follows: \x off {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | ` | {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} ` {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | | ` ` | ` | | {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} ` ` | {^^^^^^^^^`^^^^^^^^^^^} | | | PC-FOIL ` ` `~~~~~~~| | ` ` | | | ` ` ` | | ` ` | | [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] ` ` [~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~] ` | | ` ` | ` | [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] ` | ` | ` | ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] \x on If, for some reason, you need these characters printed (like I just did), you can turn the box translation on and off with the \X command. The FOIL-EDIT editor has a special feature that allows you to draw boxes easily. Use the Alt-B command to mark a block and then use the Alt-F command (fill) to draw a box. NOTE: The box characters may be different for different printers. By changing the PROFILE, you can specify any ASCII character you like for box characters. (See chapter on PROFILE). For example if you would like to use an "*" for a box character on the screen, the profile would look like this. \\BOXS=042,042,042,042,042,042,042,042 \E \V2=FOIL-EDIT COMMANDS \L \C{^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} \C| FOIL-EDIT COMMANDS ` \C[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] \N \S1 {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-A Align text ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] The align command is used to line up text between margins. Sometimes after you have made modifications to a document, it begins to look ragged. The align command will straighten it up nicely. The left edge will be straight and the right edge will be aligned to the nearest word. It removes extra spaces and moves the text that follows up to fill in the lines. First, it is important to set the margins. This can be done with the Alt-W (Wordwrap command), in the profile, or with the keywords (\\LM and \\RM). The command works differently depending on whether or not you have a marked area. If you have no marked area, aligning starts from the line that the cursor is on and continues until it finds a blank line. This works nicely for aligning a paragraph. Aligning is done between the margins. The second way is to mark a block of lines with the Alt-L commands. You would do this if you wanted to align several paragraphs at a time. This one works very similarly to the first example with the exception that all of the text that is marked is aligned. Blank lines are ignored; therefore, if you have blank lines between paragraphs, they will remain intact. All other text will be flowed together. There is a third way. You can mark a block with the Alt-B commands. All of the information on the lines contained within the marked block will be aligned within the block. This one ignores the margins that you set and uses the edges of the marked block as the margins. It will also take information outside of the block and flow it within the block. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-B Block command ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] This command is used to mark a block. First you put the cursor at one corner of the area that you want to block and enter the Alt-B command. You then put it on the opposite corner and enter the Alt-B command again. The area designated by the block will be highlighted on the screen. Now that you have an area blocked, there are many things that you can do with the block. A few of these are: 1. Copy it (Alt-C) 2. Move it (Alt-M) 3. Delete it (Alt-D) 4. Shift it left or right (Ctl-arrows) 5. Fill it with any characters (Alt-F,C) 6. Fill it with a box (Alt-F,B) 7. Get rid of the box (Alt-F,U) 8. Fill it with a phrase (Alt-F,P) 9. Align Text within the marked block (Alt-A) To unmark a block, use the Alt-U command. NOTE: There are some differences between a marked block and marked lines. These are explained in the chapter "INTRODUCTION TO FOIL-EDIT". {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-C Copy command ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] The copy command is used to copy information from one part of a document to another part of the document. The original information is left intact. The copy command can be used to copy a group of marked lines or a marked block. Marked line and marked blocks are handled slightly differently. To copy a group of marked lines, first mark the line or group of lines with the Alt-L commands. Then put the cursor on the line above where you want the lines to go and press the Alt-C command. The other lines will be moved down to make room for the copied lines. The original lines stay where they were and can be copied somewhere else until the unmark command (Alt-U) is given. You can also copy a marked block. First mark the block with the Alt-B commands. Then put the cursor where you want the upper left hand corner of the block to be copied to. Now press Alt-C and the information will be copied, replacing any information in that area. The original block stays marked and the cursor can be moved and the block copied to another location. If you do not wish to write over the existing text, simply press the INS key prior to pressing Alt-C. This will cause the new block to be inserted into the document and the existing text will be scooted to the right making room for the new block of information. The move command (Alt-M) works just like the copy command except that the original information no longer exists after the move. NOTE the difference between copying marked lines and a marked block. The new marked lines are inserted in place and the rest of the document is scooted down to make room. No additional lines are added when you move or copy a marked block. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-D Delete command ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] The delete command is used to delete a line, a group of marked lines, or a marked block. It is easy to use and very dangerous. To delete a line, just put the cursor on the line that you want deleted (anywhere on the line will be fine) and press the Alt-D command. The line will be deleted and the rest of the document will be moved up to replace the deleted information. To delete a group of lines, simply mark the lines with Alt-L commands. Then press the Alt-D command. A question will be asked: DELETE MARKED LINES/BLOCK: Y/N ? This question is asked to prevent you from inadvertently deleting some marked lines that you had forgotten about. If you really want the lines deleted, just answer Y and the rest of the information will be moved up to replace the deleted information. To delete a marked block, mark the block with Alt-B commands; then use the Alt-D command. As with marked lines, you will be prompted to be sure you want to delete the marked area. The marked block will be squeezed out and any information to the right of the block will be moved left to fill in the deleted area. For convenience, the Shift-F8 key may also be used as a delete key. It works exactly the same as Alt-D. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-E End command ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] This key simply moves the cursor to the far right hand side of the screen. It is used when you want to get the cursor to the far right side and don't want to hold down the arrow key. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-F Fill command ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] The fill command is used to fill a marked block or a group of marked lines. You can fill the area with a character or a phrase, draw a box around the area, or get rid of a box. Just enter Alt-F and follow instructions. It is a great way to draw a box around an area. It also works nicely to fill an area with blanks. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-G Global search and replace ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] The Alt-G command is use to search for information in a document and replace it if desired. It will ask you the following question: CHANGE ALL, SELECT, OR EXIT: A/S/X If you select all (A), then every time the text is found, it will be changed in the document. It will not stop at each occurence of the text, but continue until it has reached the end of the document. At that time, it will display the total occurences found and changed. If you enter S for SELECT, FOIL-EDIT will pause each time it finds the text, highlight it and ask you if you really want to change it. This is used if you are not sure if you want to change it in all places. You will then be prompted for the find string and the new information that you want to change it to. The new information can be longer or shorter than the original string and the text will be adjusted for the new length. NOTE: If you have blanks in the text that you are looking for, then you should put slashes around the text and the spaces that you are looking for (exp. /Personal Computer/) NOTE: Characters to be found may be upper or lower case or mixed. Replacement characters will be used exactly as entered. NOTE: Strings within words will also be found. For example, if you are searching for the string THE, it will be found in the words THE, THEY, and OTHER. If you only want the word THE then enter it like this: / THE / \S2 {^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-H Help ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~] This command expands the information line at the bottom of the screen to give you additional information about the commands that you can use. When you first use FOIL-EDIT, you might want to leave this information on the screen all the time. If you want to get rid of the help information, just press the Alt-H command again and it will toggle off the help lines. For additional help, use F1 and F2. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-I Insert ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] Insert is used to add a blank line anywhere you want. Just put the cursor on the line above where you want the new line and press Alt-I. A blank line will be added and the rest of the information in the document will be shifted down. For convenience, the F9 key does exactly the same thing. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-J Justify column ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] This command places the current cursor column of the data at the left edge of the screen. This can be very useful when working with columns of data. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-K Key command ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] Sometimes you may find that you are typing the same thing over and over again. If so, you may find that the Alt-K command can simplify things for you. You can assign a string of text to any of the Alt-Fn keys. Then whenever you press the key, the text will appear on the screen. I assigned Alt-F10 to "PC-FOIL" for typing this document. Anytime I wanted to insert the word PC-FOIL in the document, I just pressed Alt-F10. In replace mode (REP at bottom of screen) the assigned text will overlay any existing text on the line. In Insert mode (INS at bottom of screen) the text will be inserted and the current text moved to the right to make room. \s1 {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-L mark Lines ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] The Alt-L command is used to mark a line or a group of lines. Simply move the cursor to a line and press Alt-L. The line will be highlighted. If you only want to mark one line, you are finished. If you want to mark a group of lines, then move the cursor either up or down and press the Alt-L key again. The group of lines will be highlighted. There are a number of things you can do to marked lines. Here are some of them: 1. Delete them (Alt-D) * 2. Move them (Alt-M) * 3. Copy them (Alt-M) * 4. Fill with a character or phrase (Alt-F) 5. Repeat them (Alt-R) * 6. Align text within the marked lines (Alt-A) * 7. Unmark Lines (Alt-U) NOTE: There are differences between marked lines and marked blocks. The items marked with an * work differently with marked blocks. The repeat command (Alt-R) has no meaning with marked blocks. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-M Move Command ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] The move command is used to move a single line, a group of marked lines, or a marked block from one part of the document to another. To move a line, first mark the line with an Alt-L command. Now put the cursor where you want the line to appear and press Alt-M. The rest of the information in the document is moved down to make room for the new line. The original line is gone. Moving a group of lines is similar. First mark the first and last line with Alt-L commands. Now place the cursor where you want them inserted and press the Alt-M key. The entire group of lines will be inserted below the line that the cursor is on. The rest of the lines in the document will be moved down to make room for the new lines. The original lines are gone. To move a block, first mark the block with Alt-B commands. Then place the cursor where you want it to be moved. The cursor points to the upper left hand corner of the new block. Now press the Alt-M key. The new block will be moved to the new area, writing over any information that was there. If you instead, prefered to keep the information, simply press the INS key just prior to pressing the Alt-M key. Instead of overlaying the old data, it will be moved to the right to make room for the new block. The original block will disappear and information scooted into the area that it had occupied. The copy command (Alt-C) can be used to make a copy of information somewhere else in the document. It works just like the Alt-M command except that the original information is still there. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-N Nullify tab stops ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] This command is used to remove all tab stops. To add or remove a single tab setting, use the Alt-T command. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-P change scroll value ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] This command allows you to change the scroll amount. The vertical scroll is the number of lines that you skip forward or backward when you press the PgDn or PgUp key. This is normally set in the profile as 23 lines, which is one page. Sometimes, it is handy to set at 1/2 page or 11 lines. Since the maximum line length is 255 and it is only possible to view 80 characters at time on the screen, the F3 and F4 keys allow you to move the screen across the line. With the Alt-P command, you can change the horizontal scroll amount. The default is 80. NOTE: The default scroll amount can be set in the PROFILE. \s2 {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-R Repeat command ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] The repeat command is used to duplicate a line or a group of marked lines. Place the cursor on the line to be duplicated and press the Alt-R command. The line will be duplicated and the new line will be added right below it. To duplicate a group of lines, mark the lines to be repeated with the Alt-L command, then enter the repeat command (Alt-R). The new lines will be right below the marked lines and the rest of the information in the document will be moved down to make room for the new lines. If there are marked lines, you will always be asked if you really want to repeat in case you have forgotten about them. For convenience, the F8 key has been assigned the same function as the repeat key. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-S Split line ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] The split command is used to split a line at the cursor position. It is normally used when you want to add text at that point. A new line is created and all the information to the right of the cursor is moved to the new line. Normally, you can use the Alt-A command to fix the text after a split command. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-T set Tab ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] The Alt-T command is used to set or delete a single tab position. Just put the cursor at the tab stop column location and press Alt-T. If no tab currently exists in that column one will be set. If one does exist, it will be deleted. A diamond appears below the information line to let you know where the tab stops are located. The Alt-N command (nullify tabs) is used to remove all tab stops. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-U Unmark command ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] The unmark command is used to unmark a block or a group of marked lines. It will also remove the highlight from the screen. It is a good idea to enter this command before doing anything new with marked blocks or lines. If there is nothing marked, the command does nothing. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-W WordWrap command ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] Wordwrap is a word processing term. It allows you to type without looking at the screen, and the information that you are typing will remain between your margins. It will not break a word, but if you have gone past the margin, it will move the entire word down to the next line and insert a line for you. These margins are also used when you align text (see Alt-A command). If wordwrap is not already on when invoked, it will be turned on and the left margin and the right margin values will be requested. If previously set or profile defaults are to be used, just press enter to the requests for new values. If wordwrap is on when you press Alt-W, it will be turned off. {^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^} | Alt-X Box Translate ` [~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] With the Alt-X command, the boxes are translated to boxes that appear on the screen. This is a toggle to turn the translate feature on and off. Screen display will be slightly slower when box characters are translated. the translate feat
