Features of Galaxy Pro-Lite.

Galaxy Pro-Lite is our commercial version and may not be distributed by any
entity  without  expressed  written  consent.  It  is  not to be considered
"shareware", or Evaluationware, and is only offered by authorized  dealers,
distributors and ourselves.

Galaxy  Pro-Lite  will  include a brand new, professionally written manual.
This new manual is  more  extensive,  and  will  not  only  give  you  more
information  but will make contacting us easier, and give you the basics of
word processing.  It is designed to lay flat and includes all  the  helpful
information you may require. Your new manual has a new registration system,
the  serial  number  is both on the card you send in and will remain in the
manual for easy reference. A new command reference card is also included in
the manual, it may be removed for placement next to your computer.

Galaxy Pro-Lite will now include a  new  more  complete  spelling  checker,
100,000 words.  The new checker uses a new compression method which allowed
us to add 30,000 more words and the disk file is only 354k in size.

Galaxy Pro-Lite allows you to import the date and time in to your document.
You set the new options from the default menu.  Time can be set to standard
or military or none, date can be set to US 01/31/99, January 31, 1999 or 31
/01/99  (European)  or  none.   Then every time you press the CTRL key & QT
keys the date and time or both will be placed where the cursor is  located.
The date & time options are saved to the GLITE.INI file.

Printing from memory just press the CTRL key & KP keys.  This allows you to
load a document, then edit the document and print it without disturbing the
original  file. You can even mark a block of text, just highlight the block
of text you wish to print, then press the CTRL key & KP keys.  A  sub  menu
will  pop  up  with  print a block, number of copies and device. The device
will also indicate the current PRD file associated with that device.

Single and double spacing within the same document. Now by pressing the ALT
key & D key within your text, the printing is shifted into double  spacing,
by  pressing  the  ALT key & D key again, the printer is returned to single
spacing.

Word Counter, by pressing the CTRL key & KN keys, or pulling down the block
menu, enables a scan of the document and the word count is displayed.

International characters can be added to your add-on dictionary.  Just  add
the  word  as you normally would with the spelling checker, or manually add
the words to the GALAUX.DIC file.  The GALAUX.DIC file is an ASCII file and
easily edited.

Automatic Backup this option located in the file menu, you can  set  Galaxy
Pro-Lite  to  automatically  save your current document every five minutes.
This option will be saved in the Galaxy Pro-Lite INI file, as a default.

Semi-Auto-Reformat, formatting of text is now semi-automatic. By  selecting
the 'on' option from the default menu, everytime you press the CTRL key & B
key  a  screen  will  appear  with  the options of 'P' for reformatting the
current paragraph, 'D' for reformatting the entire document, or option  'S'
for  skip the current paragraph.  Just type the letter P,D,or S for program
operation.  If the off position is selected, the reformatting will be as in
older versions, requiring you to press  the  CTRL-B  at  the  top  of  each
paragraph.



Features of Galaxy Pro-Lite

Colors  are  no longer set in the install program. Colors can now be set up
in the default menu, each option has its own color number list and displays
the current value.  This will make color selection even  easier.   Remember
to save the defaults to keep the colors set for your next program use.

Printing  is  now  easier, allowing you to have multiple printers attached,
and to simply switch from one to another, just change the device.  Now when
you install the new Galaxy Pro-Lite, the installation program will ask  you
for  how  many  printers  to  install  1-3, then assign a PRD file for each
device.  If you have more than one printer attached to your  computer,  for
example  you  have  an  HP(tm)  laser printer connected to LPT-1, you would
select PRD #16 for LPT-1, and you have  an  Epson(tm)  attached  to  LPT-2,
select  PRD  #11  to  device  LPT-2.   The PRD information will be saved in
Galaxy Pro-Lite's INI file.

Internal print attributes, Makeprd.com is no longer  required!   All  print
attributes  will be changed in the new print code menu, by either selecting
print codes from the print menu or by typing ^QP, which will bring  up  the
new  menu,  while  you  are  editing.  This will help you to remember which
attribute is assigned to which keys.  Now select Load the current  PRD  and
it's  device  will  be  listed  in the open PRD box, press enter or type in
another PRD filename you wish to edit.  A sub menu will  pop  up  with  the
keys  listed,  ALT-B  through ALT-F8, and the current value assigned to the
key, Bold, Condensed, etc.  using the arrow keys, select the attribute  you
wish  to  change.   You can also overwrite the current attribute name.  The
next step is to enter the print codes for that attribute.  You  will  start
in  the  on  selection  box enter the print codes from your manual, use the
arrow key to switch to the off selection box.  The codes are still  entered
as in the past, separated by a backslash.  Galaxy Pro-Lite now allows up to
eight print attributes for any special printer codes, such as proportional,
condensed, elongated, and font changes, anything your printer is capable of
accomplishing.   When  finished press save.  Galaxy Pro-Lite will write the
new PRD with the current name.

NOTE: The Wordstar(tm) conversion key ALT-F3 has been changed to ^QW.

(Marking Blocks) Galaxy Pro-Lite now highlights the  first  character  when
selecting  a  block, making it easier to remember the beginning of the text
block you're moving.

(LPT3) Galaxy Pro-Lite now supports LPT 3 in the device window.

(Formfeeds) A new final formfeed is now available to you.  This is required
to send form letters to some laser printers.
