FAMILY TREE JOURNAL TEXT EDITOR
Data entry with the editor defaults to insert mode. You may
move the cursor with the <LEFT-ARROW> and <RIGHT-ARROW> keys
to any place on the line without disturbing anything.
In the insert mode, the <HOME> and <END> keys move the cur-
sor to the beginning or end of the current line if it is not
already at that respective position. Typing the <HOME> or
<END> keys when the cursor is already at the beginning or
the end of the line will move to the first or last line on
the screen. If the cursor is positioned at the first
character of the first line, the <HOME> key will display the
first screen in the file. If the cursor is at the last
character of the last line, the <END> key will display the
last screen in the file.
Typed characters will be inserted into the text and all
characters to the right of the cursor will shift towards the
end of the line. The <DELETE> key will erase the character
under the cursor and the <INSERT> key toggle the mode from
insert to normal mode. (Normal mode requires that you retype
the entire line when you wish to make changes).
This editor does not support word-wrap so anything that is
forced off of the right end of the line is lost.
You may enter foreign characters by holding the ALT key
while typing the decimal code (IBM extended ASCII) for the
character. This will work for most of the extended charac-
ters except those between the values 200 and 219 (some line
drawing characters).
The <UP-ARROW> and <DOWN-ARROW> keys will scroll the cursor
up and down.
The <PAGE-UP> and <PAGE-DOWN> keys will display the pre-
vious or next page of text, except that you will not be able
to go forward past any large area of blank lines (usually
the end of text).
FUNCTION KEYS
F1 HELP - Displays help information.
F2 NAMES - Display and edit your name list.
F3 SEARCH - Search all data files for information.
F4 CENTER - Center the text on the current line.
F5 INSERT - Inserts a blank line at the cursor.
F6 DELETE - Deletes the current line.
F8 SAVE - Saves the information for this individual.
The <ESC> key will exit the editor. You must save the in-
formation (F8) before you exit or the changes that you have
made will be lost.
NOTE: You may prefer to use your own editor or word proces-
sor to edit this information. The miscellaneous utilities
section of the program provides ways to import and export
files that may be used by other programs. FAMILY TREE
JOURNAL was not intended to be a word processor so this
editor only provides minimal flexibility. The only real ad-
vantage to using this selection is that it can
(theoretically) handle files as large as 1000 Megabytes!
Most word processors would choke on a file that big!
