power window ]i[
#787# #7887# #7#
power window is a 200 line by 39
character screen editor. this also
supports setup for darkterm's color
usage. by using the f1 key, you set
the default startup colors for the
border and the background. the
character color is whatever you choose.
the clr/home asks you if you are sure
you want to erase the screen.
shift run/stop records/decodes the
screen into a seq "1 time read" format
so that it may then be saved to disk.
[saving doesn't scratch any old files.]
home will return you to the top of the
screen. if at the top, it will go to
the top of the screen (row 0).
the delete key has 2 modes, use f7 to
toggle them. one is the normal mode
and the other is a held delete.
the quote is allowed to be toggled as
a normal quote or an '.
some systems do not allow for quotes
to be used in their system files, so
this program will not allow quotes to
enter from keyboard or loading if you
say quotes are not allowed when you
run power window.
display bar
#78"87# #7#
<u> row: 000 rvs column: 00 <d>
" 1
rvs will reverse when at anytime
reverse mode is entered. (kinda nice!)
<u> will reverse when in uppercase
mode.
<d> will reverse when in hold delete
mode.
shows your current cursor color!
"1 these two tell you the following:
"=commodore key "=ctrl key
1=numeric color key.
this informs you of what color is
under the cursor, so you can
reproduce it using the keyboard.
another noticable improvement over
power window 1, 2 & 3 is the cursor
turbo's after 20 key repeats and
is more controllable. scrolling is
also faster and more controllable.
the entire system is 20% faster than
power window 3!
range editing
#787# #78"87#
the range is set using the f3 for the
top and f5 for the bottom.
ctrl-c will cut the range from the
screen. this will also move everything
else up, incase you want to delete a
mass range out of your screen.
ctrl-d will delete 1 line at the
current cursor row.
ctrl-i will insert 1 line at the
current cursor row.
ctrl-m will allow you to move your
range around the screen using cursor
keys and return to finish.
ctrl-u will swap between upper/lower
cases. and when decoding (shift
run/stop) it will flag the uppercase
mode inside the file, so that darkterm
will accept it. (sends ctrl-u &
ctrl-i)
ctrl-x will re-run the program. the
text is untouched incase you made a
mistake, the run/stop restore will
always return you to edit mode from
anywhere in the program. including
load/save.
diskette command area
#7#7#7#7#7#7#7#7#7#7#
this area can be entered using the
command prefixes "@", "$", ">" when
asked for a file name or you can press
f2 during the screen editor.
@ will give current disk status
$ will give current disk directory
> will send text to the error channel.
the commands only affect device 8.
note: once used, the diskette command
area will always return you to
the screen editor.
special options menu
7878787 7878787 7887
to enter this menu, press f8 when in
the screen editor.
the following options are available:
append file from disk appends a file
from disk to the current one in memory.
terminal mode allows you to call a bbs
or act as a bbs. no modem operations
are carried out at all during this
terminal mode (ie: auto-dial/answer).
send file over modem sends the current
text in memory over the modem via the
terminal mode. you are again asked
if you are the bbs and if you want
asc][ or not. if you do not want
asc][, then colour is used.
record segment of text to disk. using
the range pointers, you can save that
range to disk for later appending.
print text to a 1525 printer. this
will discard any ctrl code that will
mess up the printer. plus, you can
see what your pic looks like on paper!
return alone exits menu.
run/stop stops output of the "send file
over modem" option.
commodore-ctrl exits terminal mode.
a transmitting file will stop when
terminal mode has been exited, so you
must stay in terminal mode to
completely send the file.
to toggle online buffer/edit mode
use ctrl-_. run/stop also terminates.
if edit mode hits 200 lines during any
extra edit mode, it will stop.
run/stop should stop most options. if
that fails, press run/stop & restore
to return you to the editor. all disk
files are closed when this is done.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
i'm terribly sorry for the
inconvenience that power window 1 - 3
have caused. i'm sorry about the lack
of testing, but i tried everything that
i could think of, but obviously, i
didn't think hard enough. anyhow, i
believe that this one is bug free.
if there are any comments, let me know!
ah - bbi soft
