G--Æ1,G ENABLES AND DISABLES THE ÓPECIAL ÇRAPHICS MODE.

Ç--Æ1,Ç SELECTS THE TYPE OF PRINTER AND DETERMINES HOW ÒÕÎàÓCRIPT ÐLUS WILL PRINT DOT-GRAPHICS CHARACTERS. ÉF YOU HAVE AN ÍÐÓ-803 OR COMPATIBLE, ÍÐÓ-801, 1525 OR ÍÐÓ-1000 (ÃOMMODORE MODE), YOU ANSWER YES AT THE PROMPT. ÁNSWER NO IF YOU DON'T.

Ã--Æ1,Ã SELECTS THE SECONDARY ADDRESS USED TO PRINT DOT GRAPHICS AND SENDS MACRO COMMAND STRINGS TO THE PRINTER. ÕNLIKE THE .CA DOT COMMAND, THIS FUNCTION CHANGES THE PERMANENT SECONDARY ADDRESS INSIDE ÒÕÎ ÓCRIPT ÐLUS.

Ó--Æ1,Ó SPLITS THE TEXT DISPLAY INTO TWO SEPARATE AREAS. ÉF YOU SPECIFY ONE TEXT AREA, ÒÕÎ ÓCRIPT ÐLUS WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED. ÉF YOU SPECIFY TWO, THE PROMPT "SIZE OF AREA TWO ?" WILL APPEAR. ÙOU MAY CHOOSE ANY NUMBER FROM 1 TO 18 TO DETERMINE HOW MANY KILOBYTES OF MEMORY TEXT AREA 2 WILL BE ALLOCATED. ÉF YOU ANSWER YES TO THE "ERASE TEXT?" PROMPT, THE TEXT AREA WILL SPLIT, AND THE CURSOR WILL APPEAR AT THE START OF TEXT AREA 1.

Á--Æ1,Á SWITCHES BETWEEN THE TWO TEXT AREAS.

Ô--Æ1,Ô SELECTS THE SECONDARY ADDRESS USED TO PRINT TEXT TO THE PRINTER. ÕNLIKE THE .TA DOT COMMAND, THIS FUNCTION CHANGES THE PERMANENT SECONDARY ADDRESS INSIDE ÒÕÎ ÓCRIPT ÐLUS.

Ì--Æ1,Ì SPECIFIES WHETHER A LINE-FEED CHARACTER SHOULD BE PRINTED AFTER EACH CARRIAGE-RETURN CHARACTER. ÕNLIKE THE .LF DOT COMMAND, THIS FUNCTION CHANGES A PERMANENT FLAG INSIDE OF ÒÕÎ ÓCRIPT ÐLUS.

Q--Æ1,Q SAVES A COPY OF ÒÕÎ ÓCRIPT ÐLUS, INCLUDING ANY PRINTER MACROS, THE CURRENT COLOR SETTINGS AND THE CURRENT SETTINGS FROM VARIOUS COMMANDS.

ÒÕÎ ÓCRIPT ÐLUS IS A POST-FORMATTED WORD PROCESSOR, THAT IS, TEXT IS NOT FORMATTED UNTIL IT'S PRINTED, SO YOUR SCREEN DISPLAY WILL VARY FROM YOUR PRINTOUT. ÔO SPECIFY OUTPUT FORMAT, ÒÕÎ ÓCRIPT ÐLUS HAS ABOUT 40 DOT COMMANDS, SO-CALLED BECAUSE EACH COMMAND MUST BE PRECEDED BY A DOT (A PERIOD). ÔHESE COMMANDS ARE EMBEDDED IN THE TEXT TO SPECIFY MARGIN WIDTHS, DEFINE HEADERS AND FOOTERS, AND SO FORTH.

Á DOT COMMAND IS EXECUTED WHEN TEXT IS PRINTED, AND ONLY TEXT FOLLOWING THE DOT COMMAND IS AFFECTED. ÆOUR STEPS MUST BE MET FOR DOT COMMANDS TO OCCUR. ÆIRST, THE LINE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DOT COMMAND MUST END WITH A RETURN. ÓECOND, THE DOT COMMAND MUST START IN THE FIRST SCREEN COLUMN. ÔHIRD, MULTIPLE DOT COMMANDS IN A STRING MUST NOT BE SEPARATED BY SPACES. ÆOURTH, EACH STRING OF DOT COMMANDS MUST END WITH A CARRIAGE RETURN. ÔHE DOT COMMANDS (WITHOUT THE BRACKETS) ARE:

[.LJ]--ÌEFT-JUSTIFIES PRINTED TEXT.

[.RJ]--ÒIGHT-JUSTIFIES PRINTED TEXT.

[.CN]--ÃENTERS PRINTED TEXT BETWEEN THE LEFT AND RIGHT MARGINS. ÙOUR TEXT MUST BEGIN ON THE NEXT LINE BELOW THE .CN COMMAND.

[.PL]--ÓETS THE PAGE LENGTH. ÔHIS COMMAND MUST BE FOLLOWED BY A NUMBER FROM 1 TO 240.

[.PW]--ÓETS THE PAGE WIDTH, DEFINED AS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CHARACTERS PRINTED ON ONE LINE.

[.LM]--ÓETS THE LEFT-MARGIN WIDTH, AS DETERMINED BY A NUMBER FROM 1 TO 240.

[.RM]--ÓETS THE RIGHT-MARGIN WIDTH (FROM 1 TO 240).

[.TM]--ÓETS THE TOP-MARGIN DEPTH (FROM 1 TO 240).

[.BM]--ÓETS THE BOTTOM-MARGIN DEPTH (FROM 1 TO 240).

[.HD]--ÄEFINES A HEADER TO BE PRINTED AT THE TOP OF EVERY PAGE. ÔHE COMMAND MAY BE FOLLOWED BY UP TO 255 CHARACTERS AND MUST END WITH A CARRIAGE RETURN. ÎO DOT COMMANDS CAN FOLLOW THE .HD DIRECTIVE. É RECOMMEND THAT THE .HD AND .FT (SEE BELOW) DOT COMMANDS APPEAR ON LINES BY THEMSELVES. ÅNTERED JUST ONCE AT THE BEGINNING OF A DOCUMENT, .HD# AUTOMATICALLY PRINTS THE PAGE NUMBER OF EACH PAGE.

ÔHE ABOVE DOT COMMANDS HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE HEADER, WHICH IS PRINTED EXACTLY AS DEFINED, STARTING IN THE FIRST COLUMN ON THE PAGE. ÉF YOU WISH TO CENTER A TITLE, THE TITLE MUST BE PRECEDED BY THE CORRECT NUMBER OF SPACES.

ÙOU MAY EMBED MACRO CHARACTERS (SEE DISCUSSION ABOVE) IN THE HEADER STRING IF YOU WISH. ÔHE HEADER WILL BE PRINTED AT THE LINE POSITION EQUAL TO THE .TM SETTING PLUS 1.

[.FT]--ÄEFINES A FOOTER TO BE PRINTED AT THE BOTTOM OF EVERY PAGE. ÉT WORKS EXACTLY LIKE THE HEADER. ÔHE FOOTER WILL BE PRINTED AT THE LINE POSITION EQUAL TO THE .PL SETTING MINUS THE .BM SETTING MINUS 1.

[.HS]--ÄEFINES THE NUMBER OF LINES TO BE LEFT BETWEEN THE HEADER AND THE MAIN BODY OF TEXT. ÔHE COMMAND MUST BE FOLLOWED BY A NUMBER.

[.FS]--ÄEFINES THE NUMBER OF LINES TO BE LEFT BETWEEN THE FOOTER AND THE MAIN BODY OF TEXT.

[.LS]--ÓETS THE LINE SPACING. ÆOR DOUBLE-SPACING (ONE BLANK LINE BETWEEN LINES OF TEXT), SET .LS TO 1.

[.1+]--ÉNDENTS TEXT FROM THE CURRENT LEFT-MARGIN SETTING. ÆOR EXAMPLE, IF THE LEFT MARGIN IS SET WITH .LM8 AND YOU EXECUTE .L+3, TEXT WILL BE INDENTED AS THOUGH YOU'D SET .LM AT 11. ÔO CANCEL AN INDENT, USE .L+0 OR .L-0.

[.1-]--"ÏUTDENTS" TEXT, SUCH AS A SUBHEADING, TO THE LEFT OF THE LEFT MARGIN. ÆOR EXAMPLE, IF THE LEFT MARGIN SETTING IS .LM8 AND .L-3 IS EXECUTED, TEXT WILL BEGIN PRINTING AT THE SIXTH COLUMN, JUST AS THOUGH .LM HAD BEEN SET AT 5. ÏUTDENTS ARE CANCELED WITH .L-0 OR .L+0.

[.FP]--ÆORCES A NEW PAGE. ×HEN EXECUTED, NO MORE TEXT WILL BE OUTPUT TO THE CURRENT PAGE.

[.FL]--ÌINKS FILES TO BE PRINTED. ÔHE COMMAND MUST BE FOLLOWED BY A DEVICE NUMBER AND A FILENAME, SEPARATED BY A COMMA.

[.P#]--ÓETS THE PAGE NUMBER OF THE NEXT PAGE TO BE OUTPUT.

[.LF]--ÐRINTS A LINE-FEED CHARACTER AFTER EVERY CARRIAGE RETURN (.LF1 ENABLES LINE FEEDS; .LF0 DISABLES THEM).

[.CM]--ÌETS YOU LEAVE A COMMENT FOR YOURSELF THAT WON'T BE PRINTED.

[.R+]--ÉNDENTS THE RIGHT MARGIN (FROM 0 TO 255).

[.R-]--ÍAKES A RIGHT OUTDENT (FROM 0 TO 255).

[.BJ]--ÓTANDS FOR "BOTH JUSTIFY" AND PRINTS THE ENSUING TEXT WITH BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT MARGINS JUSTIFIED.

[.PR]--ÓENDS A SEQUENCE OF UP TO 98 BYTES TO THE PRINTER USING A SPECIFIED SECONDARY ADDRESS, WHICH MUST IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW THE COMMAND; THEN THE BYTES TO BE SENT TO THE PRINTER, SEPARATED BY COMMAS, MUST FOLLOW.

[.TA]--ÓTANDS FOR "TEXT ADDRESS" AND MUST BE FOLLOWED BY A NUMBER FROM 0 TO 31. ÔHE NUMBER IS THE SECONDARY ADDRESS THAT WILL BE USED TO PRINT THE ENSUING TEXT, AND IT LASTS FOR ONLY ONE PRINTOUT. ÙOU CAN SET THE DEFAULT (PERMANENT) TEXT SECONDARY ADDRESS WITH THE Æ1,Ô COMMAND.

[.CA]--ÄEFINES A NEW, TEMPORARY SECONDARY ADDRESS, WHICH WILL BE USED TO SEND MACRO STRINGS TO THE PRINTER AND TO PRINT DOT-GRAPHICS CHARACTERS. ÓET THE DEFAULT (PERMANENT) SECONDARY ADDRESS WITH THE Æ1,Ã COMMAND.

[.DC]--ÓTANDS FOR "DEFINE CHARACTER" AND LETS YOU REDEFINE ANY CHARACTER ON THE KEYBOARD EXCEPT @, TO A TOTAL OF 127 CHARACTERS, AND THEN UNDEFINE THEM.

[.LR]--ÓTANDS FOR "LOAD REDEFINED CHARACTERS" AND IS USED ONLY AFTER YOU'VE PERFORMED THREE STEPS. ÆIRST, YOU MUST DEFINE A NUMBER OF CHARACTERS WITH .DC COMMANDS. ÓECOND, YOU MUST PRINT THE CURRENT DOCUMENT. ÔHIRD, YOU MUST SAVE THE TABLE OF REDEFINED CHARACTERS TO DISK WITH THE Æ1,Ò COMMAND. ÔHEN YOU CAN USE .LR TO LOAD THE SAVED CHARACTERS DURING A LATER PRINTOUT. ÔHE .LR COMMAND MUST BE FOLLOWED BY A DEVICE NUMBER, A COMMA AND A FILENAME.

[.LC]--ÓTANDS FOR "LOAD CHARACTERS" AND LETS YOU LOAD A NEW CHARACTER SET OR A NEW PRINT SET DURING PRINTOUT. ÔHE .LC COMMAND MUST BE FOLLOWED BY A NUMBER FROM 0 TO 9 (0 TO 6, FOR A Ã-64) THAT SPECIFIES THE SET TO BE LOADED. Á 0 LOADS A NEW SET ONTO THE SCREEN; 1 THROUGH 9 LOAD A NEW SET INTO THE PRINTER. ÁFTER THE NUMBER COMES A COMMA, FOLLOWED BY THE DEVICE NUMBER FROM WHICH THE SET IS TO BE LOADED, THEN ANOTHER COMMA AND THE FILENAME OF THE CHARACTER OR PRINT SET.

[.EL]--ÓTANDS FOR "EMPTY LINES" AND PRINTS THE SPECIFIED NUMBER OF CARRIAGE RETURNS.

[.ST]--ÓTANDS FOR "STOP" AND WORKS ONLY WITH THE PRINTER OR THE MONITOR, NOT THE DISK DRIVE.
