FILE BASICS

Operations

Shortcuts

OPERATIONS
..>fo
..>foc
F-Open/create a file
When you open a file, PC-Write reads it from disk into computer's memory.
You can type over name at prompt, or arrow past path to change just name. If
file does not exist, it is created (upon your confirmation). If you typed
name of file improperly, you can retype it. See Filenames. Opening a file
closes (exits) current file, unless you split window. See Window split

KEYS: Alt F O
  (F1 F6)
..>fob
Backups
Whenever you open a file, you can write a backup to keep in case you run
into problems while editing. You can set program to always or never backup,
or backup on exiting instead. See CUSTOMIZE

For file switching options after Alt F O, see SHORTCUTS.
Have PC-Write remember names of files you've been editing. See CUSTOMIZE
To set a permanent filename extension or location, see CUSTOMIZE.
..mfh
F-If your memory does not have enough free space to open the file specified,
PC-Write may ask to free the hold area to make more room. See Hold text
You may have to break a large file into smaller ones. See MAKING SUBFILES

..>fol
Read-only mode
You can read a locked file (e.g. on a network) on screen but cannot write
changes to it. See SHORTCUTS

..>fl
F-List & open
From the list of files, highlight one and press 
Enter
 to open it.
Highlighting a subdirectory name (ends with \) and pressing Enter displays
its files. Or, press F8 to type in name of directory not listed. F8 option
is also available at all filename prompts. See also List files

KEYS: Alt F L
 (F1 F6 F8 Enter).

..>fn
F-New name
Type over old name that appears at prompt, then press 
Enter
. Now when you
save or exit file, your text is written to new name. If you saved file when
it had the old name, the old file is still on your disk. See also Rename
If you haven't yet named your document, status line shows "<no name>".
You're asked to name it when PC-Write needs to write it to disk.

KEYS: Alt F N
 (F1 F5)

..>fs
..dfl
..cns
Save a file
When you make changes to a file on screen, the changes are only in your
computer's memory. Save changes to disk often, to prevent losing editing if
your computer loses power. If you've taken the floppy disk that contains
your file out of its original drive, you need to reinsert the correct disk.
If your disk is too full to save added text, you can save to a different,
less full disk.

KEYS: Alt F S
 (F1 F3)
PC-Write can periodically save or remind you to save. See CUSTOMIZE

..>fus
..>fue
..>fu
Undo changes
If you make a big mistake, reopen file as it was before you made changes.
This cancels only changes made since last time you saved. Once you've saved,
the only way to cancel changes is to start over, using your backup copy.

KEYS: Alt F U


S
 Since last save (F1 F9 F6 F10)

E
 Exit, no save (F1 F9 F2)

..>fe
Exit a file
You can exit a file by exiting PC-Write. If you have changed your document
since the last time you saved, the file is automatically saved.
To exit a file without saving it, undo changes first. See Undo changes

KEYS: Alt F E
 (F1 F2)
F-If you want to exit your current file but don't want to exit PC-Write, you
can open another file (which exits current file). See Open/create a file
Closing a window exits a file, too. See WINDOW SPLIT

..>fotb=
..>for
..>fotb
MAKING SUBFILES
If you try to open a file too big to fit in memory, PC-Write asks if you
want to break it into smaller files to edit separately. If subfile with same
name already exists, you can cancel overwriting that file.
To put subfiles back into one, use DOS COPY command:
A>COPY file1 + file2 + file3 bigfile
  copies "file1", "file2", and "file3" to a file named "bigfile"
See DOS commands

SHORTCUTS

F-Files in a series
Using 
F5
 or 
F7
 Quick switch following 
F1 F6
 (Alt F O) tells PC-Write you are
editing files in series. Series files have same name with incremental last
one or two digit number or letter (FILE1.DOC, FILE2.DOC). Search & replace,
spell scan, update references, renumbering, and printing can continue to
next file, once you've reached end of current file. Both Print and Update
references check for file series even if you haven't used F5/F7 once.
To permanently turn on/off files series option, see CUSTOMIZE.

..>fm
F=FILE MANAGE

These commands help with file housekeeping within PC-Write. Similar
functions and more are available when you exit to DOS. See DOS commands

..>fmr
..>fmr=
F=Rename

Alt F N
 (F1 F5) renames the file currently in memory. See New name

Alt F M R
 (Alt-F1 F5) renames a file on disk.
..foc
If you type the name of a file that already exists, you are asked if you
want to write over existing file.

..>fmc
..>fmc=
F=Copy

Alt F M C
 (Alt-F1 F6) writes a copy of your file to disk.
You can write it to a different name or location by typing at prompt.
To copy files other than current one, use DOS COPY. See DOS commands

..>fme
..>fme=
..>fme=c
F=Delete

Alt F M E
 (Alt-F1 F7) deletes a file on disk. You are always asked to

F=List files

Alt-F1 F8
 then 
Enter
 lists files in current directory. If there are
subdirectories, you can highlight one and press Enter to list its files. The
parent directory (indicated by '..\') can be selected to return to list
files in previous directory. To list files in a directory not listed, press

F8
 and type a different name at directory prompt. Listing files is available
at any filename prompt by pressing 
F8
. See also List & open
The listing displays file size, date, and time if room. Otherwise, just
filename displays. 
F4
 switches back and forth between listing types.
To set default listing type, see CUSTOMIZE.

..>fmd
..>fmd=
F≡DOS drive:dir
Changing the current DOS drive and/or directory (path) from within PC-Write
makes it easy to access files on a new path. Then you don't have to type a
path each time you open another file. See also Name prefix below.

KEYS: Alt F M D
 (Alt-F1 F3)

..>fmn
..>fmn=
F≡Name prefix
Prefix letters are inserted before every name typed at a file prompt. This
is handy for a series of files that all begin with the same name. Or, use it
to access files on another drive or directory, without changing DOS path.
To set a permanent prefix for names, see CUSTOMIZE.

KEYS: Alt F M N
 (Alt-F1 F2)

..>fmo
F≡Open notes
Opening directory notes switches to a file named ED.DIR in the current
directory (if it doesn't exist, it's created). The notes file contains a
directory listing with space for you to type comments. The file is updated
each time you open it, to show new (+) or deleted (-) files.
To exclude file size, date, or time for entries, see CUSTOMIZE.

KEYS: Alt F M O
 (Alt-F1 F9)

..>fd
..>fds
F=DOS SHELL
If your computer has enough memory you may temporarily exit PC-Write to run
another program or DOS command, keeping PC-Write and your file in memory.

Alt F D S
 (F1 F4 then Enter) shells to DOS. The screen shows a prompt
(A>) just like when you exit PC-Write. Now you can type DOS commands as
usual. See DOS commands
The shell is fine for most applications, but not for loading memory resident
programs that stay active. To load a resident program, exit PC-Write first.

..>fdr
F=
Alt F D R
 (F1 F4) runs a DOS command directly from PC-Write.
The top line reads:
  Command file (Esc:cancel F8:dir): "drive:\COMMAND.COM"
where "drive" is boot drive.
Type name of .COM or .EXE file to execute. PC-Write looks first for a .COM,
then for a .EXE file.

Exiting the Shell, Re-entering PC-Write
When you run a program directly from PC-Write, and the program finishes, you
are prompted with:
    To return to the edit program, press any key
Or, if at the DOS prompt in the shell, type
    C>
EXIT
then press Enter.

Shell is suitable for applications that are complete upon return to PC-Write
but not for loading a memory resident program that stays active upon return
to PC-Write. To load a resident program, exit PC-Write normally.

DOS commands
PC-Write can do these DOS operations: del, dir, ren. See FILE MANAGE
For commands below, "A>" is the DOS prompt.
A>FORMAT b:
  formats diskette in drive B
A>COPY fromfile tofile
  copies "fromfile" to "tofile"
A>SORT < infilename > outfilename
  sorts lines in "infilename" and puts them in "outfilename"
You can run DOS commands directly from PC-Write. See DOS SHELL

Filenames
DOS filenames are 1 to 8 characters, plus an extension of 0 to 3 letters.
The format is: FILENAME.EXT
You can use letters A-Z (upper and lower case are the same), numbers 0-9,
and the symbols   $ & # @ ! % ( ) { } - _ ~   in a filename.
Filenames can be preceded by a drive and/or a pathname, for example:
  C:\PCW\filename.ext
Think of drive and path as part of the full filename. With no drive and/or
path specified, DOS assumes the currently logged drive and subdirectory.


..>lf
G-FONTS

G-Fonts set look of characters when printed. They have three categories:

Typefaces
: shape of character, such as Courier and Times.

Sizes
: character width and height, such as 10 cpi or 12 point.

Effects
: special enhancements, such as underline and bold.
Typefaces and sizes set spacing of characters; only one of each can be
active at a time. Multiple effects can be active at once.

The Font menu inserts font characters or dot lines to set fonts. These are
visible only in Show mode. See Hide/Show codes You can also insert these
commands directly at cursor. See Inserting fonts directly

..>lfl
..>lfb
G-Location
Before setting a font, decide where you want it to apply.

KEYS: Alt L F
 then:  (R/Q dot lines)
G-
L
 sets look for next few words you type (or selected words).
Font characters will be inserted at start and end of lines.
..>lfc
G≡
C
 sets look for this column only, using ruler letters. If you column box
lines, font affects only selected lines in this column. Option not available
if you select more than one column. See next option.
G=
B
 sets look for this paragraph and onward, using dot lines. If you select a
block of lines, font begins with first line selected, stops after last line.
See SELECTING TEXT
G≡In column mode, font begins at first line of all columns across page,
(unless you select a block of lines, which works same as non-column mode).
..>lfd
..>lfh
..>lff
G-
D
 sets look of type for entire document (base font).
G=
H
 sets look of type for headers and footers. See HEAD/FOOTERS
G≡
F
 sets look of type for footnotes.  See FOOT/ENDNOTES
The Status line shows current font for text at cursor. See Status line

..>lft
G-Typeface
Current document font is indicated by a ≈, paragraph or body font by a ~.
There are two kinds of typefaces:

Fixed-width
 faces have letters/spaces all the same width, like a typewriter.
G=
Proportional
 typefaces have letters/spaces that are not all the same width.
PC-Write supports both, also downloaded (soft) fonts, if your printer does.

..>lfs
G-Size
Current document font is indicated by a ≈, paragraph or body font by a ~.
For many printers, size is not available; it is combined with typeface. Even
for printers that support sizes, some typefaces may not support sizes.
Usually, one size font sets a fixed size (in characters per inch, cpi) for
fixed-width typefaces, and another (in points) for proportional typefaces.
When available, the font letters assigned to sizes are:
          Fixed width

C
ompressed  15 cpi

E
lite       12 cpi

P
ica        10 cpi

D
ouble       5 cpi
G=       Proportional

C
ompressed   8.0 p

E
lite       10.0 p

P
ica        12.0 p

D
ouble      14.4 p

..>lfe
G-Effect
Multiple effects can be active at once (unlike typefaces or sizes).
Current paragraph or body font is indicated by a ~
G=Current document font is indicated by a ≈

Inserting fonts directly
PC-Write assigns font letters (first letter on menus) to each font.
Font characters are graphic symbols for these letters. To insert a font
character, press and hold the Alt key, then press font letter.
You may find it quicker to set fonts, especially effects, this way.
You must be in Show mode to see font characters. See Hide/Show codes
To view table of font characters, see Font characters.
Another way to set fonts (for whole lines) is with dot lines. They take
effect until you turn them off, or (for typefaces and sizes) you set a new
one. See DOT LINES
Important tips:
- Insert same font character before and after text to be enhanced.
  If you mark text, this can be automatically done. See CUSTOMIZE
- Font characters automatically stop at end of line. To enhance several
  lines, place font at start of each line (or use dot lines).
- Apply only one typeface and size to an area of text. You can apply
  multiple effects. 'Nest' multiple fonts, as you would parentheses.
- Enter font characters as you type, or insert them later. Auto-reformat
  mode is not recommended when inserting later.
- Delete or transpose font characters like normal characters. Best to do
  this in Show mode.
- In Auto-reformat mode, deleting first font character in pair deletes
  second automatically.

R=UPDATING NOTES
Updating moves endnotes to endnote area at end of file. Any notes already
there are replaced by new set. If you move endnote area somewhere else in
document, it stays there on subsequent updates. To have endnotes placed at
end of each chapter in document, see Endnotes. If there is an index list,
the endnote area is placed before it. If you have index or table of contents
entries in your document, these are updated at same time as endnotes.
See INDEX/CONTENTS

R≡Left/right headers  See also Paper use
If document is set to differentiate left and righthand pages, you can create
a header or footer for each kind of page. Use this to keep page numbers at
outside edge of page. Once you designate a header/footer to be left or right
pages only, all header/footers must have left or right page designation. Set
left or right before defining each line (lines for both left/right pages are
defined twice). If instead you choose 'All pages' for header/footer, but set
left/right pages for document, PC-Write prints them flush left on left pages
and flush right on right pages (unless space designator is used).

Menus create up to two header and two footer lines plus separator line(s).
Use dot lines to create more than two headers or footers (8 maximum for each
including blank lines). Include a blank line header last, and first for
footer, to separate lines from regular text on each page. See DOT LINES
These additional header/footer lines show on menu as 'More lines'. To remove
these lines via menus, see Removing headers or footers.

R≡INDEX/CONTENTS

Choosing words for the index can be done as document is created or after, or
both. It's usually placed at end of document. Table of contents (TOC) is
in page number order and placed at start of document. PC-Write compiles both
lists (and any endnotes) when you update references. If you edit files in
series, begin updating references in first file. Subsequent files will be
updated, and TOC placed in first file, index placed in final file.

KEYS: Alt L R U
  (Alt-F7 F2)
See UPDATING NOTES, Files in a series
Note: Designating words for index and TOC is done with a dot line. If you
edit in Hide mode, these can get moved or deleted inadvertantly. Keep dot
line near referenced word in document, to assure correct page number in
list. Use show mode to check placement. See Hide/Show codes, DOT LINES

Formatting index/contents list
Set fonts, spacing, and other formatting for lists after updating has
inserted list in document. Use same methods as for body text. Use formats
on the area with scopes bigger than the area (pages, paragraphs), because
formatting inside area is lost upon updating. One exception: fonts within
text of index entries are moved to the corresponding numbers in the list
upon updating. Use this to emphasize certain page numbers in index list. A
spring shape is often used for index or TOC lists. Updating puts spring
point (soft space) in automatically for each entry.
See Shape, FONTS, SPACING

Moving index/contents list
The first time you update references, TOC and index areas are created at
start and end of document. On next update, each area is replaced (if you
confirm) with new one, otherwise new one is added to start/end of document.
If you move the area along with its dot lines to another place, updating
occurs at new place (II/IJ for index; KI/KJ for TOC). See DOT LINES

..>lrct
R≡Table of contents entry

R≡Index word
Index a word at cursor, or a marked phrase. Use all lower case letters to
insure true alphabetic sorting. You can index the same word at several
places (by moving the cursor to each location) if you want several page
numbers to reference that word. After updating references, you may want to
edit the list to combine multiple references on a single line or capitalize
entries. If you have an index word list loaded, you can add a word at
cursor to list, so you can search for other occurrences of that word.
See Index scan

KEYS: Alt L R I T

..>lrin

R≡Index scan
Create a word list, named WORDS.INX, containing possible index words to find
in the document. Scan document and choose which locations to index.
PC-Write tells you when it finds any word in word list in the document.
If you scan in a file that's in a series, the scan continues to next file.
See Files in a series

KEYS: Alt L R I N

regular text search. See Status line           Si+      Se+

..>lrinm
Turn off scan
The first time you scan or load an index word list, PC-Write starts index
search mode. This makes the Grey+ key find index words instead of normal
search words or misspelled words. Turn off index search explicitly with

Alt-F6 F9 F8
. Setting a normal search or spelling search also turns off
index search. See Searching with Grey+

R≡Index word list
When you scan for words to index, PC-Write loads file WORDS.INX. You can
load an index file with another name instead. The list must be alphabetized
and contain no phrases. Only one list can be loaded at a time. If you add
words to list while indexing word at cursor, PC-Write asks on exit if you
want to save new words (or save anytime with Alt-F6 F9 F7). See Index word

AUTO-NUMBERING
Use automatic numbering for footnotes or endnotes, lines, and outlines.
You enter a number sequence that is translated into a sequential series of
numbers when you repage or renumber. For page numbering, see HEAD/FOOTERS.
First create a unique numbering sequence. Each sequence contains:
1. An Alt-N font character ( )
2. A number or letter (capital or lower case)
3. A symbol (anything but a digit or letter, including a space)
When you repage or update, the numbers or letters become sequential.
The symbol, which defines the sequence, remains the same.
Example    After renumber:
 1. Lions   1. Lions  (  is the Alt-N font character)
 3. Tigers  2. Tigers
 2. Bears   3. Bears

Multiple Levels
Create multiple sequences for outlines or section numbering.
   before entry uses number or letter shown as series start.
    before entry re-uses last value.
Example
 7. Chapter  1  (two sequences, one ending with dot, one with space)
    A. Lions    (another sequence using capital letters ends with dot)
 8. Chapter  2
    B. Tigers
    C. Bears
When renumbered is:
 1. Chapter 1
    A. Lions
 2. Chapter 2
    A. Tigers
    B. Bears

R=Footnote numbering   See FOOT/ENDNOTES
Start each entry with Alt-N and the number or letter and symbol for series.
Repage or update to resequence the current order of footnotes in document.
Here, footnote number ends with "." and footnote reference with "]":
This is the reference [ 1] to giraffes.
.DB
 9. This is footnote text about giraffes.
.DQ
A sequence in a footnote is treated separately from same sequence in body
text, so you can use same symbol for both.

..>lran
..>lraf
..>lrar
R=Auto numbering via menus
Before inserting a sequence, set its purpose.

KEYS: Alt L R A
 then:

F
 begins or resets start of number sequence.

 repeats a number, as for multiple level outlines.

..>lrai
..>lraib

..>lraip
..>lrais
R=Sequences
Up to five different sequences can be inserted in one document using menus.
Menus insert number 1 for each, then the distinguishing character. Examples:
1  Hawaii
1: Hawaii
1. Hawaii
(1) Hawaii
 1  Hawaii   (  is Alt-H, superscript font)

..>lrau
R=Renumbering

R≡PRINT-TIME ITEM
Insert a command that is processed only when printing your document.

R≡Print image
Insert a print image in a document when it prints. Use this to include
graphics or tables from other applications in your documents. When you
print, PC-Write prints normally till it reaches the place for the image;
then it sends the graphic file containing the print image to the printer
with no further processing, and resumes printing the document. Set file
length with TL or EL dot line for correct pagination. See DOT LINES

KEYS: Alt L R S P
  (TI dot line)
..>lrsu
..>lrsu=
..>lrsu=c
R≡User line entry
Type lines of text into a document as it's being printed.
Use this to make form letters. You enter a prompt to remind you what to type.
During printing, PC-Write pauses for you to type a line of text, then resumes
printing the document. You can only type a complete line of text, so you
can't use this to 'fill in a blank' mid-line. See also MERGE PRINT

KEYS: Alt L R S U
  (U dot line)
R≡Other file
Insert entire text of another file when document prints. Useful for putting
a heading (kept in separate file) on first page of letterhead. TP dot line
inserts lines of file (ignores any formatting). Set file length with TL or
EL dot line to assure accurate pagination. See DOT LINES
If you're using a master file to insert all files composing a document, use
TF dot line instead. This reads formatting in inserted file, and puts in
page breaks between the files. TF files only print when you Print All pages
(Print Range ignores TF files). Master file format is not recommended (use
series format instead). See Files in a series
