155 ├OLLEGE ╙T.,
╘ORONTO, ╧NTARIO, ├ANADA.
═5╘ 1╨6
┴TT'N: ─ON ╫HITEWOOD
╘HIS PROGRAM IS ├OPYRIGHT BUT HAS
BEEN PUT INTO THE ╨UBLIC ─OMAIN AND MAY
BE DUPLICATED FOR EDUCATIONAL NON-PROFIT
USE. ╔T MAY BE PURCHASED AT COST FROM
VARIOUS SOURCES, TWO OF WHICH ARE LISTED
AT THE END OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
╟┼╬┼╥┴╠ ╔╬╞╧╥═┴╘╔╧╬
╙╘╧╥┘ ╫╥╔╘┼╥ IS A LIMITED WORD
PROCESSOR DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR
PRIMARY GRADE STUDENTS AND IS INTENDED
TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A SOUND
CLASSROOM WRITING PROGRAM. ╔T IS NOT
INTENDED THAT EVERYTHING CHILDREN WRITE
SHOULD BE DONE ON A WORDPROCESSOR.
╘HE PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED TO WORK ON
A ├OMMODORE ├64 COMPUTER FROM EITHER
TAPE OR DISK. ╙TORIES CAN BE SAVED ON
TAPE OR DISK AND PRINTED OUT ON EITHER
AN ┼PSON PRINTER OR A ├OMMODORE
PRINTER. ╔T SHOULD WORK WITH OTHER
PRINTERS BUT SOME EXPERIMENTING MAY BE
NECESSARY TO SEE WHAT PRINTOUT SUITS
THE STUDENT BEST.
╙INCE THE PROGRAM IS ═┼╬╒ DRIVEN,
ITS OPERATION IS STRAIGHT FORWARD.
╨RESSING THE ╥╒╬/╙╘╧╨ KEY OR IN SOME
CASES THE ╥┼╘╒╥╬ KEY WILL BRING YOU
BACK TO THE MENU BUT THE STORY IS NEVER
LOST.
╙╘╧╥┘ ╫╥╔╘┼╥
1. ╫╥╔╘┼ ╧╥ ┼─╔╘ ┘╧╒╥ ╙╘╧╥┘
2. ╨╥╔╬╘ ┘╧╒╥ ╙╘╧╥┘
3. ╙┴╓┼ ┘╧╒╥ ╙╘╧╥┘
4. ╠╧┴─ ┘╧╒╥ ╙╘╧╥┘
5. ┼╥┴╙┼ ┘╧╒╥ ╙╘╧╥┘
6. ╠┼┴╓┼ ╙╘╧╥┘ ╫╥╔╘┼╥
╧PTION #1: ╫╥╔╘┼ ╧╥ ┼─╔╘ ┘╧╒╥ ╙╘╧╥┘
╧NE FEATURE OF ╙╘╧╥┘ ╫╥╔╘┼╥ IS THAT
WORDS ARE NOT SPLIT ON THE SCREEN. ─ON'T
WORRY ABOUT THE END OF THE LINE AS YOU
TYPE, JUST KEEP TYPING AND WHERE
NECESSARY WORDS WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE
PLACED ON THE NEXT LINE.
╔NSERTING AND ─ELETING OF TEXT IS
EASY, SIMPLY MOVE THE CURSOR TO THE
POSITION WHERE YOU WISH TO INSERT OR
DELETE THEN USE EITHER THE ╙╚╔╞╘ AND
╔╬╙╘ KEY OR THE ─┼╠ KEY TO PERFORM THE
APPROPRIATE OPERATION.
╘O INSERT WHOLE BLANK LINES BETWEEN
EXISTING LINES, CREATE A COMPLETE BLANK
LINE BY PLACING THE CURSOR IN THE LEFT
MOST COLUMN OF THE LINE WHERE THE BLANK
LINE IS TO APPEAR, THEN HOLD THE ╙╚╔╞╘
AND ╔╬╙╘ KEYS DOWN UNTIL THE LINE IS
BLANK. ╞URTHER PRESSING OF THE ╙╚╔╞╘
AND ╔╬╙╘ KEYS WILL PRODUCE FURTHER BLANK
LINES.
╘O DELETE WHOLE BLANK LINES, PLACE
THE CURSOR SEVERAL SPACES IN FROM THE
LEFT MARGIN ON A BLANK LINE, ABOVE THE
BLANK LINES TO BE DELETED, AND PRESS
THE ─┼╠ KEY.
╘HE SPACE BAR DOES NOT NORMALLY
REPEAT BUT CAN BE MADE TO DO SO BY
HOLDING DOWN THE ╙╚╔╞╘ KEY AT THE SAME
TIME. ╘HIS IS HANDY WHEN YOU WANT TO
DELETE (BLANK) A LOT OF TEXT.
╘HE ├╠╥/╚╧═┼ CAN BE PRESSED TO MOVE
THE CURSOR TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE
SCREEN AND PRESSING IT AGAIN WILL
RE-DISPLAY THE TEXT STARTING AT THE
BEGINNING WITH THE CURSOR STILL AT THE
TOP LEFT CORNER.
╔N ORDER TO KNOW WHERE THE PAGE
WOULD END WHEN PRINTED OUT, ╙TORY
╫RITER ├╞ PUTS THE ╠ (UPPER RIGHT OF
SCREEN) INTO REVERSE FIELD WHEN THE
CURSOR IS ON THE LAST LINE OF A PAGE.
╘HIS ENABLES THE WRITER TO TELL WHERE
PAGES WILL BE BROKEN ON PRINTOUT SO THAT
BLANK LINES CAN BE LEFT FOR LATER
INSERTION OF PICTURES OR STUDENT
DRAWINGS. ╞OR EXAMPLE, THE ╠ WILL LIGHT
UP AS THE CURSOR IS MOVED DOWN THE
SCREEN AT ╠=25 (BOTTOM OF FIRST PAGE)
AND AGAIN AT ╠=54 (BOTTOM OF SECOND
PAGE), ETC. THUS WHEN THE WRITER GETS TO
THE NEXT LINE (E.G. ╠=26 OR ╠=55, ETC.)
IT WILL BE THE TOP OF THE NEXT PAGE
WHEN LATER THE STORY IS PRINTED OUT.

CHILDREN, IT ONLY IS POSSIBLE TO PRINT
OUT 40 COLUMNS IN EXPANDED LETTERS AND

HOWEVER, THE OTHER PRINTER MODE IS
PICKED THEN THE 40 COLUMNS ARE PRINTED
IN REGULAR SIZED LETTERS. ╫HEN THE STORY

TO THE TOP OF A NEW PAGE SO THAT THE
PERFORATION ON THE SHEET IS JUST VISIBLE
ABOVE THE PRINT HEAD OF THE PRINTER.
