()()()()¢ FIRST XLENT USER INFO¢ February, 1994 by J.E.Hicswa¢ Member JACG and OL' HACKERS¢¢ First XLENT WORD PROCESSOR permits the¢ format directives and text on same¢ TOP line when separated by semicolon¢ and one or two spaces.¢¢ I only experimented with left/right¢ margin directives.¢¢ FIRST XLENT USERS TYPE THIS ARTICLE¢ THEN ENTER PRINT MODE.¢ NOTE: F at beginning of lines is First¢ Xlent (OPTION F).¢¢ Fdv* [(RETURN) typical end of lines]¢¢ DEFAULT print margins are left¢ margin=10, right margin=70¢¢ Flm5¢ Left margin is now 5¢¢ Flm5; Add text preceded by 2 spaces¢¢ Flm10¢ Left margin is now 10¢¢ Flm10:rm37; Add text preceded by one¢ space. Right margin is now 37¢¢ Flm15¢ Left margin is now 15¢¢ Flm15:rm50; text preceded by one¢ space¢¢ Flm10:rm70; Margins returned to¢ default.¢¢ DEFAULT:¢ When left margin is one digit 0-9,¢ then two spaces separate semicolon and¢ text. ;__text¢¢ When left margin is two digits 10-nn,¢ only one separates semicolon and text.¢ ;_text¢¢ This was accidently discovered when¢ margin directives were separated with¢ semicolon instead of colon. Part of¢ directive following semicolon was¢ printed. It dawned on me this could¢ be text. I tried and it worked. A¢ little practice revealed necessary¢ spaces.¢¢ OPTION F followed by a space is like¢ REM in ATARI BASIC used for author¢ REMinder. Comments after F SPACE are¢ ignored during printing. Use it to¢ start a line/paragraph anywhere in the¢ document:¢ EG: As first line of document¢ F Filename, date, other information.¢¢ F SPACE before a paragraph prevents it¢ from being printed by printer while¢ still retained in the file.¢¢ If you develop this further, please be¢ good enough to share with me and/or¢ THE OL' HACKERS AUG, N.Y., and other¢ First XLENT users.¢ END¢ ()()()
