Each is described in detail. As discussed in Chapters One through Eight, many of these function are not assigned to keys. Galahad itself is actually two seperate programs integrated together to form a word processor. One program is an editor. The other is a text formatter. The editor is available to be used independently, and is called Percival (PER.COM). In the description below the first set of function described are the known to Percival; the secons set to Galahad. .st3,14,1 &dDEFINITIONS .jr .st3,11,1 .x-5 A few terms need to be discussed before the functions are defined. The &itext%buffer holds a copy of the file being edited. The &ipoint is the place at which everything happens in the text buffer. The &iscreen contains one or two &iwindows into one or two text buffers. The &icursor shows on the screen where the point is in the text buffer. Some more terms are discussed in the following paragraphs: &iConfirming&s, &iLine%Input&s, &iPrompting&s, &iPosition&s, and &iSearch%Strings&s. .n &oConfirming A confirmation is a special prompt that ends in a question mark. A single character response is needed. A confirmation expects one of a small set of characters. You may respond by typing the first letter of one of the choices (case is insignificant), you may type Control-C (^C), or you may type Return (^M). In all cases, Control-C cancels the confirmation, and Return picks the most usual response. If you do not type one of the above characters, the bell is rung and you must wait one second while the typeahead buffer is cleared. This protects you when you don't realize that the question will be asked, and you have started to type the next command. .n &oPrompting The last line on the screen is used for several purposes: to ask you for a line of text, to ask you for confirmation of some action, to warn you of some error that has occurred, and to give advisory messages. You can very easily determine which is occurring by looking at the last character of the message. A line input prompt ends in a colon (:), a confirmation or any other message that expects a single key response ends in a question (?), an error ends in an exclaim (!), and advice ends in a dot (.). (Never give advice; wise men won't need it, fools won't heed it, and everyone else will tell you what's wrong with it.) An error message is different from an advisory message in that it results from an undesired effect of some action that you have taken. To ensure that you pay attention to the message, if you have typed ahead, then the typeahead buffer is cleared. In any case the bell is rung. .n &oLine%Input A line input message is prompting you to input a line of text, which will then be interpreted appropriately. You are placed into a special mode, in which some of the keys are interpreted differently. The prompt may contain a proposed response enclosed in square brackets. Typing just a return will accept the proposed response. In the general case, you will type several printable characters, followed by the Return key to cause your input to be accepted. You may wish to cancel the action that would ordinarily take place by pressing the Control-C key. A mistakenly input character may be removed using the Delete, Back Space or Control-H keys. Some other keys are recognized, but will be used less often. The shift Break key causes the proposed response to be brought in for editing. The Control-O (^O) key causes the next word in the text to be brought in for editing. The Enter key is synonymous with Return. Pressing any key that is assigned to a string only will cause that string to be brought in for editing. Pressing any key that is assigned to a function will cancel the input line operation and execute the function. The InsertControl function allows you to input a control character. Pressing the Control-Return key (producting the Line Feed character) in command mode causes the function(s) assigned to the CmdLF. key to be executed. The various searching commands assign special meaning to some characters, namely *[]<>$~ and ?. These characters, as well as control characters, are included in the search string using InsertControl, which accepts those characters and shows them on the screen in inverse video. The bindings given above may be changed. When Galahad is &ireading%a%line (&ireading%a &iline means when Galahad is asking for input on the command line), it looks first for meta keys prefixed with '?'. By changing the assignments in the INI file for the meta '?' keys, you can change the meanings of keys. All of the functions that deal with reading a line start with 'Read...'. .n &oPosition There are several functions that deal with the position of the point in the text. All of these functions manipulate a stack of positions. The examples following each function show a stack that is four positions long, while the real stack is sixteen positions long. .g .n &oSearch%Strings Search strings may contain special characters. These special characters do not literally match themselves but instead match other zero or more normal characters. Special characters must be included in the search string by prefixing them with &dInsertControl command (cF10). The special characters are: .i16 .u8 < .t16 Matches the left hand edge of a line. .b .u8 > .t16 Matches the right hand edge of a line. .b .u8 ? .t16 Matches any single character except newline. .b .u8 ~" .t16 Matches, for example, any single character but double quote. .b .u8 [.;!] .t16 Matches, for example, any one of dot, semi, or exclaim. .b .u8 [a-z] .t16 Matches, for example, any lowercase letter. .b .u8 [a-] .t16 Matches, for example, lowercase a and dash. .b .u8 [-z] .t16 Matches, for example, dash and lowercase z. .b .u8 [~xyz] .t16 Matches, for example, any single character execpt lowercase x, lowercase y, or lowercase z. .b .u8 a* .t16 Matches, for example, zero or more occurrences of lowercase a. .b .u8 ?* .t16 Matches, for example, zero or more occurrences of anything. This has the effect of matching an entire line. .i0 .n4 .st3,14,1 &dTHE%PERCIVAL%FUNCTIONS .jr .st3,11,1 (Text Editing) .jr .x-5 .n &dAppendFile Prompts for a filename, whose contents are appended to the &icurrent buffer (i.e., the buffer being displayed). .n &dAsciiFile Causes &iLoadFile to stop loading the file when the terminating Control-Z character is found, and removes the Control-Z from the end of file. Causes &iSaveFile to put the Control-Z back, if there was one. This action is required by Standard ASCII files. It is the normal way to handle text files. When Percival is running under Galahad, a few control characters are translated to provide special marks for editing functions. When Percival is running stand alone &ino charcater translation is done. .n &dBinaryFile Files are loaded and saved as is. .n &dBlockCursor The cursor is set to a square block. &iUnderscoreCursor will set the cursor to an underscore. .n &dBufferList The list of buffers, and the files contained in the buffers, is shown on the screen (along with some technical data about the buffer contents). .n &dBye If no text buffers have been modified, and you are in command mode, then you are returned to MS-DOS. If you are not in command mode, you are asked if you really want to quit. Otherwise, you are asked what to do with each modified text buffer: save, scratch, or cancel the entire operation and start editing again. .n &dCDirectory .n &dChDirectory You are prompted for a new directory string. This function is exactly identical to the MS-DOS command chdir. .n &dCenter The cursor is centered in the window. .n &dChangeCase The character to the right of the cursor is changed from uppercase to lowercase or vice versa. Non-letters are not changed. The cursor position is moved one character to the right. .n &dChangeHighBit The character to the right of the cursor has its high bit changed. The cursor position is moved one character to the right. .n &dCommand Prompts for a function name, and executes the first matching function. Gives an error if no function name is matched. .n &dCommandMode Causes the Command function to be repeatedly executed until the &iEditMode function is executed. Has no effect if in command mode. .n &dCompareWindow The buffers being shown in both windows are compared character by character, starting at the cursor position in each buffer. The comparison stops at the first mismatch or end of file. No effect if in OneWindow mode. .n &dCutText The text showing in inverse video (see &iShowSelect) is removed and placed in the insert buffer. .n &dDefaultExtension If you do not supply an extension when giving a filename, the default extension will be used. This function sets the default extension. 'GAL' is the initial default extension. .n &dDeleteFile Prompts for the name of a file to delete. .n &dDeleteLeft The character to the left of the cursor position is deleted. .n &dDeleteUnder The character under the cursor (to the right of the point) is deleted. .n &dDelToEnd All the characters between the cursor and the end of the current line are deleted. .n &dDelWordLeft The word to the left of the cursor is deleted. A word boundary appears wherever a boundary is formed between the set of characters: 0-9, A-Z, a-z, and the set of characters consisting of everything else. .n &dDelWordRight The word to the right of the cursor position is deleted. .n &dDirectory Prompts for a file specifier and lists all the files matching it. If no disk drive is given, the default disk is used. If no extension is given, the default extension is used. .n &dDisplayString The following string is displayed on the screen. This is most useful in the definition of the "Init." key to show the use of different INI files. .n &dEditFile .n &dEditMode Exits command mode and prompts you for a filename to edit. If no filename is entered, then the current file is edited. .n &dExecuteCommand ExecuteCommand clears the screen and then runs ExecuteProgram. .n &dExecuteFilter MS-DOS comes with several programs that read their input, modify it, and write it. These programs are called filters. Galahad has the ability to send part of your text file through one of these filters. You can select the part to be filtered by executing &iStorePosition at the top of the text, and positioning the cursor at the bottom of the text to be "filtered", and executing &iExecuteFilter followed by the name of the filter and any required parameters. .n &dExecuteKey ExecuteKey takes the string supplied as an argument, determines a key name from it, and executes the functions assigned to the key as if the key had been pressed. .n &dExecuteProgram The editor sends the remainder of the line (after ExecuteProgram -- the argument) to MS-DOS for execution. Any command recognized by COMMAND.COM may be given. .n &dExternalCommand ExecuteCommand takes the string supplied as an argument and interprets it as a command to be passed to an external program (such as Galahad) so that the external program can execute them. If the external program does not execute the command (or if there is no external program), then the command is interpreted as a Percival command. If the command is not a valid Percival command, Percival will report "Unknown Command.". .n &dFileInfo Various information about the current buffer is displayed. .n &dFormatIndented The current paragraph is filled so that each line is no longer than the line length specified by the options function. Unlike FormatPara, you must position the cursor at the first line of the paragraph, and the column that the paragraph is to be indented to. The end is either an empty line or a line beginning with whitespace or a period. The ending line is considered to be part of the next paragraph. .n &dFormatPara The current paragraph is filled so that each line is no longer than the line length specified by the options function. A paragraph is bounded at beginning and end by an empty line or a line beginning with whitespace or a period. The ending line is considered to be part of the next paragraph. .n &dGiveHelp Prompts you for a key, and gives you as much help as it can when that key is pressed. Help is provided for only the function and keypad keys. .n &dGotoLine Prompts you for a line number where the cursor is to be placed in the text. .n &dGrowWindow The current window (in the two window mode) is expanded by one line. No action occurs if there is only one window. If the other window is reduced to zero lines, then it becomes invisible and only one window is used. .n &dHelpMode A synonym for &iGiveHelp, which prompts you for a key, and gives you as much help as it can when the key is pressed. .n &dHideSelect All text between the cursor position and the most recently saved position is no longer shown in inverse video. No action occurs if &iShowSelect has not been executed first. .n &dHistoryEnable If you have a string of the form 'History:' in the first three lines of your file, presumably on a line with =.CL or inside a programming language comment, AND you have executed HistoryEnable, Galahad will store the current line after the colon. When a file containing 'History:' is loaded by &dLoadFile, the cursor is positioned in the file on the line where it was when the file was saved. .n &dInsertControl Prompts for a control character to insert into the text, or to insert into the command string of a function (e.g. SearchForNext). Press the desired control key. Some other non-control keys are recognized by &dInsertControl. The 0 key (not keypad) inserts the "start eighth bit" special character, the 1 key inserts the "stop eighth bit" special character, the 2 key inserts the "alternate character" special character, and the 3 key inserts the "spelling check" special character which is placed in the text by Guenevere. The following characters cause the equivalent character with the high bit set to be inserted: <>[]*~$? (used in search strings -- discussed above). Any other key rings the bell. Note that most control characters are represented on the screen by special characters. These representations are shown in most IBM compatible printer manuals. .n &dInsertFile Prompts for a filename, whose contents are inserted into the buffer at the cursor position. .n &dInsertNewline Inserts a new line at the cursor position. .n &dInsertText The insert buffer is inserted after the cursor position. The insert buffer if filled by the SelectText and CutText commands. .n &dInsertTextLeft The insert buffer is inserted before the cursor position. The insert buffer if filled by the SelectText and CutText commands. .n &dListText The current buffer is listed to a given device or file, for which you are prompted. The device defaults to the screen. Legal devices are: PRN:, LST:, COM1, COM2, or any file name. .n &dLoadBuffer Searches for an empty buffer to load a file into. If there is none, a new buffer is created. Prompts you for a file to load. If you cancel without giving a filename, you will be in an empty buffer with a filename of NONAME and the default extension (either GAL or as set by DefaultExtension). .n &dLoadCommand The file(s) mentioned in the MS-DOS command line when you executed either GAL2 or PER is loaded. If you are in Command Mode and a file is loaded then you are placed in Edit Mode, otherwise you are left in Command Mode. If you are in EditMode, then you are always left in &iEditMode. If you mention more than one file, the first file mentioned is left in the top window, and the last file mentioned is left in the bottom window. .n &dLoadFile Prompts you for a file name to load into the current text buffer. If the current text has been modified, you are given a chance to &iSave it, &iDiscard it (i.e. not save it), or &iCancel the LoadFile command. .n &dLowerCase The character to the right of the cursor position is changed from uppercase to lowercase. Non-uppercase letters are not changed. The cursor is moved one character to the right. .n &dMakeBufferUnmodified Galahad remembers whether or not you have modified a buffer. Executing &iMakeBufferUnmodified causes Galahad to forget that the buffer has been modified. .n &dMetaKey When &iMetaKey is assigned to a key, that key when pressed causes the next key pressed to take on special meaning. This is similar to the pressing Control and another key at the same time, except this is a two key sequence: the meta key and the next key. Call this second key a "metaized" key. When the key to be a meta key is defined using the &iMetaKey function, a string is specified. The first character specifies the meta code character and the remainder of the string is printed on the command line when the meta key is pressed. The following example should help to see how the metaized key takes on special meaning. Assume the following definitions: Escape==MetaKey "1Meta Active - Press Companion Key"; ^R==SearchForPrev; M1^R==ReplaceQuery; The Esc key is the meta key, its code is 1. When Control-R is pressed it executes SearchForPrev, but when Esc then Control-R are pressed the ReplaceQuery function is executed. The lead in M1 to ^R defines its action in the metaized state. There can be more than one meta key defined. See GAL101.INI, Esc and ^X are both meta keys. Help for metaized keys is available by pressing a metaized key that executes &iGiveHelp or by pressing the key that is mapped to the desired &iMetaKey prior to pressing your key. .n &dMoveDown The cursor is moved down by one line, keeping the cursor as near to the same column as possible. .n &dMoveLeft The cursor is moved one character to the left. Nothing happens if you try to move past the beginning of the file. .n &dMoveRight The cursor is moved one character to the right. Nothing happens if you try to move past the end of the file. .n &dMoveToBottom Moves the cursor to the bottom of the file. .n &dMoveToLeft Moves the cursor to the left margin. .n &dMoveToMouse This command is normally executed by pressing a mouse key. In that event the cursor is moved to the character that the mouse cursor is pointing to. This action is repeated until any key is pressed. (This causes the text cursor to follow the mouse cursor.) Typically that key is either LeftUp or RightUp, the mouse button release codes. .n &dMoveToRight Moves the cursor to the right end of the line. .n &dMoveToTop Moves the cursor to the top of the file. .n &dMoveUp The cursor is moved up by one line, keeping the cursor as near to the same column as possible. .n &dMoveWordLeft The cursor is moved to the end of the word to the left, or if on a white space character (Space of Tab) the cursor is moved to the beginning of the next word. .n &dMoveWordRight The cursor is moved to the beginning of the word to the right, or if on a white space character (Space of Tab) the cursor is moved to the end of the previous word. .n &dNameText Prompts you for a new name for the current text. Caution must be observed when using this function in an Init. definition because both the filename and extension default to the current filename and extension. When Init. executes, there is no current filename and extension, so be sure to mention both filename and extension. A good choice for the filename is "NONAME" .n &dNewBuffer Creates an empty buffer and puts the cursor at the beginning of the new buffer. .n &dNextBuffer The buffers are arranged as a ring of buffers. &iNextBuffer takes you to the next one. Empty buffers are skipped. .n &dOneWindow The current window is expanded to fill the entire screen. No action occurs if there is only one window. .n &dOptions Prompts you for some options whose prompts are self-explanatory, and refer to the printer actions when the ListText command is used, and the length of the text line in the Edit mode. .n &dOtherWindow The buffer shown in the other window is selected as the current buffer, and the cursor is move to its position in that buffer. No action occurs if there is only one window. .n &dPageDown Prompts you for a percentage of the screen to move down. The default is the same as the previous value. This parameter will most often be supplied in the key definition. .n &dPageUp Similar to PageDown, but the cursor is moved up, not down. .n &dQuit If no text buffers have been modified, then you are returned to MS-DOS. Otherwise, you are asked what to do with each modified text buffer: Save (save the file), Discard (do not save the file), or Cancel the entire operation and start editing again. Pressing either S, D or C causes the action. .n &dReadAccept Used only while reading a line on the Command Line. The line as shown will be accepted. .n &dReadCancel Used only while reading a line on the Command Line. The current line will be discarded, and the prompt will go away. .n &dReadChar Used only while reading a line on the Command Line. The next character in the text buffer gets placed at the end of the input line. .n &dReadDelete Used only while reading a line on the Command Line. The last character is removed from the input line. .n &dReadHelp Used only while reading a line on the Command Line. The help string assigned to the current key being executed will get printed on the screen. .n &dReadInitBuffer The current buffer is treated as an INI file. Very useful for creating temporary key definitions to do some complicated sequence of functions. .n &dReadOld Used only while reading a line on the Command Line. The "old" string, given inside square brackets, is appended to the end of the input line. .n &dReadWord Used only while reading a line on the Command Line. The next word in the text buffer is appended to the end of the input line. .n &dRecordKey You are prompted for a key name. All functions executed until the next time you execute &iRecordKey with the same name are assigned to that key. .n &dReferWindow The current line is examined for an occurrence of the string "Refer:". If such a string is found, decimal digits immediately following the colon are converted into a line number, and the &iother window is positioned to that line number. Using this function you can a simplistic form of hypertext. .n &dRenameFile Prompts for two filenames. The first file is renamed to the second. .n &dReplaceInAllBufs Exactly like &iReplaceQuery, but the replacement operation is performed for every text buffer in memory. Very handy for changing multiple chapters, or multiple source files. .n &dReplaceQuery Prompts you for a string to search for, and a replace string. The buffer is searched from the top to the bottom for the string. When a match is found, you are given several choices. You can confirm this replacement with &dY&tes; deny this replacement with &dN&to or Return; confirm all the remaining replacements with &dC&thange every match; or deny this and all remaining replacements with &dQ&tuit replace or Control-C. The replace string may contain a special character represented by a special dollar sign ($). When a replacement occurs, the entire matched string (i.e., the search string) is substituted for the $. The $ is included in the replace string using Control-F10 (NOT the normal $ character). .n &dReplaceToBottom Identical to &iReplaceQuery but the search starts at the character following the cursor position. .n &dRestorePosition The point (i.e., cursor position) and top of "point" stack are swapped, and the point stack is rolled. .i16 Point .t40 becomes Top of stack Top of stack .t40 becomes 2nd on stack 2nd on stack .t40 becomes 3rd on stack .t40 last on stack becomes Point .i0 .n &dSavePosition The point (i.e., cursor position) is pushed onto the top of the "point" stack. .n5 .i16 Point .t40 stays the same Top of stack .t40 becomes Point 2nd on stack .t40 becomes Top of stack 3rd on stack .t40 becomes 2nd on stack etc. .i0 .n &dSaveText Prompts you for a name to save the current buffer into. Defaults to the name that you loaded the file with. If the file already exists then you are given a choice of &dR&teplacing the old file or making it into a &dB&tackup, or &dC&tancelling the operation (do nothing and return to Edit or Command mode). Pressing Return will also &ireplace the old file. .n &dScratchText If the current text has been modified, you are given a chance to &dS&tave it, &dS&tcratch it (empty the buffer, i.e., discard the text), or &dC&tancel the scratch command (do nothing). Sets the filename to NONAME, and the extension is set to the default. .n &dScreenColor You will be prompted for a foreground and background color. You may choose from: white, yellow, magenta, red, cyan, green, blue, black. .n &dSearchForNext Prompts you for a string for which to search. The buffer is searched for the string from the first character following the cursor to end of the text. If the string is not found, then a message to that effect is printed out. .n &dSearchForPrev Prompts you for a string for which to search. The buffer is searched for the string from the character preceding the cursor position to the beginning of the text. If the string is not found, then a message to that effect is printed out. .n &dSearchFromTop Prompts you for a string for which to search. The buffer is searched for the string from beginning to end of the text. If the string is not found, then a message to that effect is printed out. .n &dSelectText The first time that you execute this function, a special mark character is inserted into the buffer. The mark character appears as a "squiggle" similar to that used to mark footnotes in printed texts; call it the mark character. The second time that you execute this function, all text between the cursor position and the mark character is removed (cut) from the buffer and placed into the special insert buffer. (See InsertText.) If you wish to change your mind and move the mark after you have placed it (but before you have cut the text), you may do so by deleting the mark character, as any other character, and continuing as though you hadn't executed this function. Strings longer than an arbitrary size are treated specially, and take longer to cut. Be patient. .n &dShowSelect All text between the cursor position and the most recently saved position (see SavePosition) is shown in inverse video. This continues until the &iHideSelect function is executed. .n &dSpellCheck The word &ipreceding the cursor position will be spell checked (if the command SpellerOn has been executed). If the word is misspelled the bell will ring. The function is dependent upon the Clarkson Speller being installed before running Galahad (See Appendix H). .n &dSpellerOff Causes &iSpellCheck to have no effect. .n &dSpellerOn Causes &iSpellCheck to spell check words. .n8 &dSwapPosition The point (cursor position) and the most recently saved position are swapped. .n5 .i16 Point .t40 becomes Top of stack Top of stack .t40 becomes Point 2nd on stack .t40 stays the same 3rd on stack .t40 stays the same etc. .i0 .n &dTabToPrev If the current line is empty then it is tabbed out to the same column as the previous line. .n &dTieWindows The two windows are tied together so that they scroll in unison. .n &dToggleReplace The insert/replace flag is toggled (changed from on to off, or vise versa). The flag is initially off, which means that all characters entered from the keyboard are inserted into the text at the cursor position. When the flag is on, all characters entered from the keyboard replace the characters under the cursor, if there are any. .n &dToggleShowBlanks The show blanks flag is toggled (changed from on to off, or vise versa). The flag is intially off, which means that trailing blanks and tabs are not visible. When the flag is on, trailing blanks and tabs are displayed visibly on the screen using special characters. .n &dToggleSplit The split/nosplit flag is toggled (changed from on to off, or vise versa). The flag is initially off, which means that inserting a character into a line which exceeds a given line length causes the paragraph containing the line to be re-formatted starting at the cursor position. When the flag is on, lines may be any length and will never be split. .n5 &dTransposeChars The two characters to the right of the cursor position are transposed. If either of the characters is the end of line, no action occurs. .n &dTwoWindow The screen is split horizontally into two screens, equal in size. The current buffer is shown in the both windows. .n &dUnderscoreCursor The cursor is set to an underscore. &iBlockCursor will set the cursor to a block. .n &dUndoChange Any changes made to the current line, including deleting it, may be undone as long as the cursor remains on the line. .n &dUntieWindows The action of &iTieWindows is undone. .n &dUpperCase The character to the right of the cursor position is changed from lowercase to uppercase. Non-letters and uppercase letters are not changed. The cursor is moved one character to the right. .n &dUserPhrase You are prompted for a key name, and then a phrase to be assigned to that key. .n &dWindowMargin Prompts you for the top and bottom margins of the screen. The cursor will not enter the margin but instead the screen will scroll. The margin numbers are expressed as a percentage of the size of the screen. .n &dWriteInitBuffer The INI file that was used to configure your Galahad is reconstructed and inserted into the current buffer. .st3,14,1 &dTHE%GALAHAD%FUNCTIONS .jr .st3,11,1 (Text Printing) .jr .x-5 .n &dImmediate The &iImmediate command allow the user to supply a set of Dot-A command which will override the value of Dot-A commands in the text, or supply new values for those not in the text. This command is normally entered on the command line before printing. For example: imm al==y lp==10 .n &dConfigurePrinter This command causes the Printer Configuration Menu to pop up. This is the command which is bound key Esc P in the supplied default GAL101.INI or GAL83.INI files. Once Galahad is configured for a printer, it remains configured for that printer until change by this command. .n &dGalahadHelp This command causes the Galahad Help Menu to pop up. The same as executing the keys Shift Return H G. .n &dPrintText The command to cause Galahad to format the current buffer and send it to a device or file. The default device is the screen. Legal devices are the MS-DOS devices LPT, PRN, COM1, etc. A file may be any legal file name. In addition to a device of file name the command takes three optional numbers: 1) the page to start printing, 2) the page to end printing, and 3) the number of files to process if the Galahad Dot-F (.F) command is used. .i34 Examples: .u26 print prn .t30 - Print to the prn device (the printer). .u26 print prn 1,2 .t30 - Print to the printer pages 1 and 2. .u26 print myfile.txt .t30 - Print all pages to the file myfile.txt. .u26 print myfile 4,10,2 .t30 - Print only pages 4 thorugh 10, which will be in two file for Galahad to process. .u26 print com1 ,4 .t30 - Print to the COM1 device pages 1 through 4. NOTE: Be sure that Galahad must first be configured, using &iConfigurePrinter, for your printer.
