- ST-PAGE
-
-
- Cut out those typing terrors with
- Robert Warnestam's friendly text editor
-
-
- ST-Page is an ultra-fast editor written in 100% machine code using Fast BASIC's
- built-in assembler. It produces pure ASCII files which makes it ideal for
- entering C, Pascal, assembly language and even BASIC source code. Or if you
- simply want to type out a few notes or a letter. Its very compact size means
- that it takes up very little space on your utility disk and it's quick to
- load.
-
- After booting up the program (in medium resolution only), you'll see the
- menu bar at the top of the screen and the first item will be highlighted. To
- highlight a different option hold down the Control key and press cursor left or
- right.
-
- To change the menu bar ink colours press Control+cursor right until the
- "COLOURS" option is highlighted. Press Control+cursor down to pull down the
- menu and Control+cursor down again to highlight "Block Ink". Hit Return and
- another menu will pop up with a list of possible colours which you can
- highlight with Control+cursor up and down. Press Return after selecting your
- colour and the ink will change.
-
- You can change the "Block Paper" option too - this is the menu paper
- colour. The text ink and paper colours are on the same "COLOUR" menu and can be
- changed in the same way as the menu ink and paper.
-
- You can type in text just like any other text editor, but remember to hit
- Return at the end of the line as there is no word wrap facility. The editor
- features automatic indent, which is useful when entering lines of source code
- when programming.
-
- To load a text file use Control+cursor left or right to highlight the
- "FILE" menu option then press Control+cursor down. Highlight "Load File" and
- hit Return to display the standard GEM file selector. Select the file to load
- as usual and click on the OK button.
-
- There is a built in Help screen which is accessed via the "Help" option on
- the "INFO" menu. Take a quick peek at this if you're not sure of a command or
- function.
