oa = open or closed apple key cntrl = control key
For IIGS:CLEAR key = cntrl-X OPTION key=closed-apple
The word entry lines are set for an "Insert mode". Pressing
OpenApple "E" will change to the overstrike mode. If you
are editing a list the word to edit will appear instead of a
blank line.
You may use the keyboard, mouse, or arrow keys for many
selections. During item selection from lists:
Open Apple + "1" = List top
Open Apple + "9" = List bottom
Files are assumed to be on the PATHNAME you start the
program with. Fifty LISTS are allowed per PATHNAME. Use
"Set Prefix" under the DISK menu to change this.
NOTE FileDump Prints the puzzle to a diskfile
under two names: KEY.filename and
PUZ.filename. See Main menu, options.
SIZE reset can be tricky. This redefines the absolute
limits of the puzzle size. If you force the MEMORY to low
the program will reject it or Clear EVERYTHING and start
again.You can do things like set for a list of 100 words,
10 character wide and 150 lines long. Or limit everything
to 10 words, 10 characters wide and 10 lines long.
Character size selection will adjust the print WIDTH of each
character within the limits of a standard 8 1/2" printer
and your printer. For example the STAR printer will print
double high, double long characters at 5 CPI which is
good for younger children. If you want to make them
blind then select 17 CPI and a large puzzle.
Good Luck
