MISCELLANEOUS COMMANDS
<DATE> (ALT D key) inserts today's date at the current cursor
position.
<VERSION> (the ALT V key) prints the current version of NYWord.
<REDRAW SCREEN> (ALT R key) clears the screen and draws a new copy of
the text on the screen. This is useful if you are not sure of what's
on the screen, or if funny characters appear on your screen due to
noise on communication lines.
<STATUS LINE> (ALT T key) toggles between the two types of status
lines. The default status line shows the row, column, number of lines,
mode, current format block, and current file name. The ruler status
line looks like the tab line in the format menu.
<OPERATING SYSTEM> (ALT X key) allows you to execute an operating sys-
tem command from within the word processor. Type the command, followed
by <RETURN>, and the command will be executed. After the command is
finished, you will be brought back to your editing screen. In DOS, you
can invoke a secondary command processor by typing "command". You will
then "leave" the word processor, and you can interact with DOS. When
you want to return to the editing session, type the DOS command
"exit".
<HELP> (the ALT H key) displays help information on the screen.
<TOGGLE EGA> (the CTRL E key) toggles between 43 and 25 line mode on
the EGA. Use this ONLY IF you have an Enhanced Graphics Adapter.
