>>>**<<<› CREATING A QUICK GUIDE TEMPLATE FOR   › THE 1st XLEnt WORD PROCESSOR› by Ron Fetzer of OL' HACKERS AUG, N.Y.›› THE PROBLEM››      If  you  use  the  1st XLEnt Word› Processor you  know  it  has  so  many› commands  and  features  that  it   is› impossible to remember them all. It is› a pain to go and look them up all  the› time. There is an easier way!›› AH, THE SOLUTION››      Now  there is an easy solution to› this problem. I have written  a  quick› guide  template  of  all the 1st XLEnt› docs, that will fit over the  keyboard› of  the  130 XE. Although this program› is   written  to  fit  the  130XE  the› template can be adjusted  to  fit  the› 800XL.  For the 800XL cut out only the› keyboard space. You will have to  trim› a  little bit on the right side of the› template to get complete access to the› console keys of the 800XL.›› THE INFO BEFORE YOU››      You  now have everything right in› front of you on the keyboard.  You  do› not have to go to the manual anymore.›› ABOUT THE PROGRAM››      The  program is self explanatory.› The mounting instructions are  on  the› print  out.  The  program prints a two› page  template  that  you  paste  with› rubber cement on a piece of  cardboard› or styrofoam board›› WHAT YOU NEED››      You  will  need  a piece of stiff› cardboard or styrofoam board that is 9› X  14  inches or 23 X 35.5 centimeters› wide.   An   ideal   backboard   is  a› corrugated piece of cardboard  from  a› large  box.  I was a little more fancy› and went  to  a  large  office  supply› house  and bought a 1/8 inch thick red› styrofaom board. I cut the  board  1/2› inch  larger  than 9 X 14 to give me a› red border. You will also need a large› rubber  band  or  you  may have to tie› several together to hold the  template› in place, over the computer. Since the› template will be used  a  lot  I  also› bought  clear  laminating plastic that› you   glue  over  the  template.  W.T.› Rogers makes them and they are  called› PLAIN-VU.  You  remove  them  from the› backing and glue them to the  finished› template. ›› HOW TO, STEP BY STEP››      After  you have printed sheet [A]› and   [B].  Glue  them  together  with› rubber cement at the  place  indicated› and cut off the mounting instructions.› You now have a 9 X 14 or 23 X 35.5  cm› printed  sheet. Apply rubber cement to› the back of this sheet. Glue it to the› cardboard  or  stryfoam  board.  Then,› with  a  razor  blade or utility knife› cut out the openings for the keyboard,› the  console keys and the power light.› Each cut out is clearly marked.›      The next  step  is  to  turn  the› template  over   and   cut   out   the› laminating  plastic  from the keyboard› and console key openings.›      The last step is  to  attach  the› rubber  band.  Near  the  edges in the› middle of the template  make  a  small› hole  and  tie  on one side the rubber› band. Put the template ovr the 130  XE› keyboard  and tightend the rubber band› and then tie it to the other hole.›› FINI››      That is  all  there  is  to  this› project.  You  now  have  all the docs› right in front of you all the time. No› more  going  to the manual and hunting› for  a  command.  An  additional  side› benefit is that now  the  keyboard  is› larger and you have a better hand rest› for your wrists, and arm.›› LEAVE IT ON››      You can keep this template on all› the  time  since it does not interfere› with any function of the computer  and› it  makes  the  computer   look   much› better.›› HOW TO GET IT››      This  program  is  available from› the OL' HACKERS ATARI  U.G.
