1. GETTING STARTED
The instructions in this User's Guide are for a computer with two disk
drives. If your computer has only one disk drive, just change disks
when your computer tells you to. If you have a hard disk, modify the
instructions as appropriate. Whenever this User's Guide says "B:",
substitute "C:" (and a subdirectory name, if necessary).
The notation <Enter> means that you should press the Enter key after
you type the command. The Esc key is the universal cancel key; use it
to cancel Word Fugue commands.
If you have only one disk drive, you should load the program, then
change the disk to the data disk. Word Fugue is a memory editor, so it
loads all the file into memory. However, you will need to copy the
overlay file (WF.OVR) and your chosen Printer Definition File
(????.PDF) to the data disk. If you need help, you will have to copy
the help file (WF.HLP) from the program disk, or swap to the program
disk, before you press the Help key. Checking spelling can also be
done by swapping to the dictionary disk before you start checking
spelling. Remember to swap back to the data disk before you save your
file.
.tc Backup Your Disks ..................................#
Backup Your Disks
.lm3
Word Fugue comes on two disks. Look at the file READ.ME on the
Word Fugue program disk for any last minute changes.
To make backup Word Fugue disks:
1. Format two blank disks with the DOS FORMAT command.
2. Place the original Word Fugue program disk in drive A, and
the new, formatted disk in drive B. Copy all the original
Word Fugue files to the new disk by typing at the DOS
prompt:
COPY *.* B: <Enter>
3. Place the Word Fugue dictionary disk in drive A, and a new
formatted dosk in drive B. Copy the original files to the
new disk by typing at the Dos Prompt
COPY *.* B: <Enter>
4. Label the backup disks and store the originals in a safe
place.

Install On Floppy Disk

The disks are organized so that you can run the program on a floppy
system. If you have 2 floppy disks, you will have to swap disks if
you want to utilize the spelling checker, since the dictionary
requires a disk of its own. You should write your text files to
drive B, and put the dictionary in drive A when you want to utilize
it. The Overlay file is on both disks, so you can do this.
If you have only one floppy disk, you will need a data disk with the
overlay file (WF.OVR) on it, and the printer definition file
(???.PDF) on it, and swap this disk in whenever you want to save the
file or print it. (It must be saved to print). Since Word Fugue
works on the file in memory, once you have read in the file, you can
swap the data disk out and either the dictionary disk or the system
disk back in.
You may wish to configure your program to make it easier for you to
use. Refer to Chapter 2 for more information on this.
.tc Install on Hard Disk ...............................#
Install On Hard Disk
.lm3
To make a working directory on a hard disk:
1. Choose a directory to be your Word Fugue working directory.
MD C:\dirname
CD C:\dirname
2. Put the Word Fugue backup program disk in drive A. At the
DOS prompt, type:
COPY A:*.* C:
3. Put the word Fugue dictionary disk into drive A. At the DOS
prompt, type:
COPY *.* C:
You may wish to configure your program to make it easier for you to
use. Refer to Chapter 2 for more information on this.

About Word Fugue
As you edit, the top line of the screen normally displays the Status
Line. It looks like this:
>Z< ■MANUAL.DOC 53% Line 40 Col 37 Page 5 Ins Indent Wrap Just Cols >P<
Not all the fields will appear.
Z only shows if this window is Zoomed - that is, it is set
to cover the entire screen,regardless of the number of
windows open.
MANUAL.DOC This is the name of the file you are editing. You will
not see MANUAL.DOC unless you are editing a file called
that.
■ This only shows if the file has been modified.
Ins This shows that you are in INsert mode.
Ovr This shows when you are in overwrite mode.
Wrap This indicates that Word Wrap is on. Text you
Para type will be wrapped around to the next line when you
type beyond the boundaries of the current line. If this
status display is blank, the line will not wrap unless
you press return. If it shows PARA then the text will
automatically reformat as you type, while if it shows
WRAP, you will have to use the paragraph reformat
command if you wish to have the paragraph reformated.
Just This shows that the text you are typing will be right
justified, that is the right hand side will line up with
the right margin, and extra spaces will be inserted to
make the margins even. This paragraph is an example of
Right Justification, while all the other paragraphs are
not justified. If JUST does not show then text will not
be justified when it is wrapped or reformatted.
Page This indicates the page number of the document you are
processing. It will not show unless pagination is on
(refer to Page Breaks). When Page breaks are on, the
line number shown is the line number within the page,
otherwise it is the line number from the start of the
file.
Cols This shows whether or not you are in Column Mode or
C Rep Column replace mode. Refer to Column mode for more
information.
If Word Fugue needs information from you, it prompts you by opening a
window for you to enter information into. The information you provide
is the response. Prompts appear in response to certain editing
commands:
■ Some prompts require that you press a single key.
■ For other prompts, you respond by typing a file name or other text.
The first time most prompts of this type appear, there is a blank
response. When you change the response, it stays in the computer's
memory until you change it again or exit the edit program. There are
three ways to respond to this kind of prompt:
■ You can press the Enter key to use the current response if there
is one.
■ You can type a new response, then press Enter. The cursor is
located at the first character of the current response; as you
begin to type, the current response disappears. Press the Enter
key when you are done typing.
■ You can edit the current response. Move the cursor past the first
character in and begin to edit, or delete the first character
with the Del key, then edit. Press Enter when you're done.
You can enter editing commands directly from the keyboard, or use
one of Word Fugue's menus to help you. There are eight menus.
To bring up the Main Menu:
■ Press Shift and function key F1
You will see the ruler line and status line and first line of text
disappear, and the top level of the pull down menus will appear in
their place.
To bring up the Second Level Menu:
■ Press the letter corresponding to the Capital letter in the
keyword or use the arrow keys to hi-light the keyword, and press
enter
To select an option from one of the pulldown menus:
■ Press the letter corresponding to the Capital letter in the
keyword or use the arrow keys to hi-light the keyword, and press
enter
To return to the previous level Menu:
■ Press Esc.
To access the Help screens:
■ Press F1 once. This will work both from the main edit window and
from the pulldown menus. The help displayed is context sensitive.
■ Move through the help screens by means of the PgUp and PgDn keys.
To return to the previous level, press Esc.
You perform most of the Word Fugue editing commands by pressing
combinations or sequences of keys. If a command requires a combination
of keys, they are shown in this manual as a unit. For instance, Ctl F1
means you press the Ctl key and hold it while you press the F1 key. If
a command requires a sequence of keys, they are shown in this manual
following each other. For instance, Ctl Q then R means that you press
the Ctl key and hold it while pressing the Q key, let it up, then press
the R key.
Word Fugue edits entirely in memory. This makes for fast processing,
but it can restrict you if you have only a small amount of
memory. You can edit as large a file as will fit in memory, and
this has advantages if your disk becomes too full.
To save a file when the disk is full:
1. Remove the full disk and replace it with one that has enough
room.
2. Try the save again.
