MISCELLANEOUS COMMANDS
<DATE> inserts today's date at the current cursor position.
<REDRAW SCREEN> 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> 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.
<SHELL> allows you to execute an operating system 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 second-
ary 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> displays help information on the screen.
