GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS


INTRODUCTION

ZIPSCRIPT II IS A COMPLETE WORD
PROCESSING SYSTEM THAT CONTAINS ALL THE
FEATURES REQUIRED TO HANDLE YOUR TEXT
PROCESSING NEEDS WITH EASE.  THE SYSTEM
FEATURES A FULL SCREEN EDITOR (WITH
HORIZONTAL SCROLLING), COMPLETE ON-LINE
INSTRUCTIONS AND A FORMATTING PROGRAM
THAT SUPPORTS VARIOUS DOT (.) COMMANDS
FOR SPECIFYING THE PRINTED FORMAT.

THE SYSTEM USES DOS 3.3 AND DOES NOT
REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT, SUCH
AS AN 80 COLUMN CARD, LOWER CASE
ADAPTER OR ADDITIONAL MEMORY, TO BE
USED ON THE APPLE II+.  IT WILL,
HOWEVER, EXECUTE JUST FINE ON THE APPLE
IIE/C IN THE 40 COLUMN MODE.

YOU MAY NOTICE THAT ZIPSCRIPT II IS
NEARLY AN EXACT CLONE OF ONE OF THE
MORE POPULAR WORD PROCESSSING SYSTEMS
THAT NORMALLY COSTS SEVERAL HUNDRED
DOLLARS.  IF YOU DON'T LIKE ANYTHING
ELSE ABOUT ZIPSCRIPT II, YOU WILL FIND
THE PRICE TO BE JUST RIGHT.

THE INSTALL PROGRAM ALLOWS YOU TO

CONFIGURATION AND MUST BE EXECUTED
BEFORE USING ANY OF THE OTHER
FUNCTIONS.  IF YOU FIND THAT YOUR
PARTICULAR BRAND OF PRINTER IS NOT ON
THE INSTALL MENU,  PLEASE COPY THE
PORTION OF YOUR PRINTER MANUAL THAT
CONTAINS THE ESCAPE OR CONTROL
SEQUENCES FOR THE SPECIAL PRINT
FUNCTIONS AND SEND TO THE AUTHOR ALONG
WITH YOUR DONATION (PLUS $4.00 FOR
POSTAGE AND HANDLING).  THE AUTHOR WILL
THEN INCLUDE YOUR PRINTER TYPE IN THE
INSTALL MENU AND SEND YOU AN UPDATED
DISKETTE.

IF YOU WISH TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT
MARGIN SETTINGS (LM=1, RM = 65), OPEN A
DOCUMENT IN ORDER TO ENTER THE EDITOR.
THEN USE CTL O M TO SET THE MARGINS AND
TAB STOPS TO THE DESIRED DEFAULT
SETTINGS.  THEN RETURN TO THE MAIN MENU
AND SELECT THE INSTALL OPTION.

THE HELP PROGRAM DISPLAYS THE HELP
BANNER WHILE IN THE EDITOR.

THE COMMON PROGRAM CONTAINS ROUTINES
THAT ARE USED BY ALL OF THE ABOVE
PROGRAMS.

NOTE:  THE ONLY PROGRAM THAT CAN BE
EXECUTED DIRECTLY IS ZSIIMENU.  TO DO
SO, ENTER "BRUN ZSIIMENU".

COMMANDS

ALL SELECTIONS FROM THE MENUS ARE MADE
BY ENTERING A SINGLE LETTER.  ALL
COMMANDS WITHIN THE EDITOR ARE MADE BY
ENTERING A SINGLE CONTROL CHARACTER, OR
A SINGLE CONTROL CHARACTER FOLLOWED BY
A SINGLE NORMAL CHARACTER.  FOR
EXAMPLE, "CONTROL X" WILL  MOVE THE
CURSOR DOWN ONE LINE.  "CONTROL Q G"
WILL WILL GIVE YOU A WORD COUNT OF YOUR
TEXT FILE.

DOCUMENT FORMATTING

THE ZIPSCRIPT II DEFAULT VALUES ARE SET
IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU CAN CREATE
DOCUMENTS WITHOUT RESORTING TO ANY
SPECIAL DOT (.) COMMANDS.  IN FACT YOU
ONLY GET WHAT YOU SEE.  FOR EXAMPLE, IF
YOU WANT A TOP AND BOTTOM MARGIN, YOU
MUST ENTER BLANK LINES.  IF YOU WANT
PAGE NUMBERS, YOU MUST ENTER THEM.

HOWEVER, THE MORE ADVANCED USER WILL
LEARN TO USE THE DOT COMMANDS TO HANDLE
THESE FUNCTIONS.

THE FORMATTING MENU WILL ALLOW YOU TO
SELECT A RANGE OF PAGES TO BE PRINTED
AND TO SPECIFY A PAUSE BEFORE EACH PAGE
TO ALLOW SINGLE SHEET PRINTING.

IF YOU DESIRE TO TERMINATE THE PRINTING
OF A DOCUMENT, DEPRESS "P".

HAPPY WORD PROCESSING!!
