subject: EDITING / GETTING ANOTHER FILE overview: Up to 10 files can be active simultaneously within PC-Type II as long as sufficient memory exists to hold them. These files are loaded via the EDIT command within PC-Type II. The GET command inserts a specified file into the current file being edited just below the cursor. With both the EDIT and GET commands, you can load all or part of a file. If you load part of a file, you can specify the part by the beginning line number and the number of lines or by the beginning page number and the number of pages. Power users would normally edit or get another file by moving to the Command Line and entering an EDIT or GET command. (See the Command Line section). If you forget the format of the EDIT or GET command, or prefer to use the menus, then you can EDIT or GET all or parts of files by using the "(E)dit/Get" option of the Main Menu. In the discussion which follows, this option will be described. loading: The first question asks you if the file is to be edited as a separate file or inserted into the current file. The window below is displayed to make this determination: 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 쿜uestion: � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴孤 � (E)dit as separate file or � � (G)et as part of this file � � Press E or G � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 selecting: PC-Type II next asks you to identify the file to be loaded. In the field provided, type the filespec of the desired file and then press the Enter key. The filespec may contain a drive and path as well as a filename and file extension. If neither a drive nor path is entered, the default directory is assumed. The filename and file extension may contain the wildcard characters * and ? just as if you were performing a DOS DIR command. If no wildcards are present, then the single file requested is found and the session moves on to the next question. If wildcards are present, then all the matching files are presented in a menu from which you may choose the file you want. 152 In the example below, the filespec "docm*.pct" was entered. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 쿏efault Directory � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴孤 쿏OCMAC.PCT � 쿏OCMM.PCT � 쿏OCMVMT.PCT � 쿐XIT � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 You may exit by pressing Esc or by moving the highlight bar to the "EXIT" entry and pressing the Enter key. Next the amount of the file to be loaded must be defined with the help of the following window: 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 쿜uestion: � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴孤 쿗oad (T)otal file or (P)art?� 쿛ress T or P � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 If you press T, no more questions will be asked and the file will be loaded immediately. If you answer P above, PC-Type II needs to know what part of the file to load. Defining the loading methodology with the help of the window below begins the process of defining the portion of the file to load. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 쿜uestion: � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴孤 쿗oad by (L)ine # or (P)age # ?� 쿛ress L or P � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 The next request, "Enter Beginning Line/Page number" expects you to enter the starting position in the file. The final request, "Enter number of Line(s)/Page(s)" defines the length of the portion of the file to be loaded. If the final request is left blank, then the file will be loaded from the beginning line or page specified to the end of the file. The file is now loaded into memory. If you specified the (G)et option, then the file, or portion of the file will be inserted into the current file between the line the cursor is currently on and the next lower line. If you specified the (E)dit option, then the file, or portion of the file will be loaded as a unique file in memory. This file just loaded will become the current file being edited. To switch between files in memory press Shift F1 or go to the "Screen Options" menu by selecting the "(S)creen" option in the Main Menu. 153
