     ╔ HAVE TRIED TO PUT INTO THIS EDITOR THE THINGS ╔ PERSONALLY LOOK FOR
IN THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM, BUT HAVE FOUND LACKING IN OTHER EDITORS.  ╘HE
╚ORIZON ╘EXT ╟RAPHICS ┼DITOR HAS THE ADVANTAGES OF POP-DOWN MENUS, THAT IS,
IT IS MENU DRIVEN.  ╔T ALSO HAS A CURSOR THROUGH FUNCTION THAT ALLOWS YOU
TO EXPLORE THE MENUS.  ╔T ALSO ALLOWS ACCESS TO ALL BUILT-IN BASIC SCREEN
EDITOR FUNCTIONS.  ╔T ALLOWS YOU ACCESS TO FULL 80 COLUMN AS WELL AS 40
COLUMN SCREENS.  ╞INALLY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BLOCK COPY FONT LETTERS,  AND
IT RUNS ON ANY DRIVE.  ╚AVE FUN AND EXPERIMENT WITH THE PROGRAM.  ╔F YOU
HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ANY FEATURE OF THE PROGRAM, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT THE
ADDRESS BELOW.  ╔ WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THE FUNCTIONS OF
THE PROGRAM.

TELL YOU TO PRESS ANY KEY AFTER THE FONTS HAVE LOADED.

SCREEN, PRESS ┴╠╘ AND ╥┼╘╒╥╬ KEY.  ╘HIS WILL ACCESS THE POP-DOWN WINDOW AND
YOU CAN SELECT ┼─╔╘ OR ANOTHER DESIRED FUNCTION.  ╚ITTING THE "╚╧═┼" KEY

TO LINE 19 AND PRESS ┼╙├ ┬.  ┘OU HAVE NOW REESTABLISHED THE EDITOR WINDOW

┬).
     ╘O ACCESS THE PROGRAM'S POP-DOWN MENU, PRESS ┴╠╘ AND ╥┼╘╒╥╬ KEY ONCE.
├URSOR DOWN TO THE "╠╧┴─" ├OMMAND.  ╘HE COMPUTER WILL ASK YOU IF YOU WANT

AN 80 COLUMN SCREEN TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE EDITOR SCREEN.  ╔F YOU CHOOSE

╚ORIZON ┼DITOR                     ╨AGE 1                    ╙EPTEMBER 1989

ARROW KEY LOCATED UNDER THE ┼╙├ KEY TO ABORT A LOAD OPERATION.  ╞OR THE
PURPOSE OF DEMONSTRATION, TYPE IN ╘IGER AND HIT ╥┼╘╒╥╬.  ╔NCLUDED WITH THE
PROGRAM ARE SEVERAL GRAPHICS FOR YOU TO EXPERIMENT WITH.  ╘HE COMPUTER WILL
SHOW YOU A DRIVE STATUS LINE AFTER THE FILE LOADS OR DOESN'T LOAD.  ╘HIS
WILL TELL YOU IF THE FILE LOADED OKAY OR NOT.
     ╬OW, PRESS ┴╠╘ AND ╥┼╘╒╥╬ AGAIN, AND CURSOR DOWN TO THE "╙┴╓┼"
FUNCTION.  ╘HE PROGRAM ASKS YOU FOR AN ENDING LINE NUMBER.  ╟O DOWN THE
RIGHT-HAND ROW OF THE EDITOR AND FIND THE LAST LINE OF THE GRAPHIC AND
ENTER IT (FOR EXAMPLE: LINE 19).  ╘HE PROGRAM THEN ASKS YOU TO NAME THE
FILE.  ┼NTER THE NAME YOU WANT FOR THE FILE AND HIT RETURN.  ┘OU MAY PRESS
THE ARROW KEY UNDER THE ┼╙├ KEY TO ABORT THE SAVE.  ┘OU WILL SEE AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN THE PROGRAM CONVERT SCREEN CODES TO ┴╙├╔╔.  ┴FTER THIS
IS COMPLETED THE FILE IS SAVED TO YOUR DISK.
     ╬OW WE COME TO THE REALLY FUN PART.  ╔F YOU SAVED THE TIGER DURING THE
EXPLANATION ON THE SAVE COMMAND, LOAD THE GRAPHIC AGAIN.  ┴ BIG ADVANTAGE
OF THE EDITOR IS THAT IS ALLOWS YOU COPY A SECTION OF THE SCREEN TO ANOTHER
PART OF THE SCREEN.  ╘HIS IS DONE BY GOING TO THE MENU (┴╠╘ & ╥┼╘╒╥╬) AND
CURSORING TO THE COPY COMMAND.  ┘OU WILL SEE A BLINKING ARROW IN THE UPPER
LEFT HAND CORNER.  ═OVE THE ARROW, BY USING THE CURSOR KEYS, TO THE
LOCATION WHERE YOU WANT TO ┬┼╟╔╬ COPYING AND HIT ╥┼╘╒╥╬ ONCE.  ╘HIS SETS
THE TOP LEFT PART OF THE COPY WINDOW.  ╬OW, CURSOR OVER TO WHERE YOU WANT
THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TO ┼╬─ AND PRESS ╥┼╘╒╥╬ ONCE.  ╬OW CURSOR OVER TO
THE PART OF THE SCREEN YOU WANT TO COPY THE BLOCK TO AND PRESS ╥┼╘╒╥╬.  ╘HE
PROGRAM MAY TELL YOU THAT THE COPY EXCEEDS SOME SCREEN LIMIT, EITHER
RIGHT, OR BOTTOM.  ╘HIS MEANS THAT YOUR COPY HAS GONE OUTSIDE THE EDITING
WINDOW AND THE POSITION TO WHERE THE COPY IS TO BE MADE MUST BE RESET.
╓OILA!  ┘OU HAVE THE BLOCK COPIED TO THAT PART OF THE SCREEN.  ╘HE PROGRAM
WILL NOW ASK YOU ONE OF THREE THINGS.  ╘HE FIRST IS, IS THE ═╧╓┼/├╧╨┘ ╧╦┴┘.
╔F IT IS, JUST HIT RETURN AND THE COPY BECOMES PERMANENT.  ╔F NOT, CURSOR
DOWN TO ╘╥┘ ┴╟┴╔╬ AND REPEAT THE ABOVE PROCESS.  ╞INALLY, THE EXIT COMMAND
ON THE MENU WILL GET YOU OUT OF COPY/MOVE MODE AND BACK TO THE REGULAR
EDITOR.
     ╟O TO THE POP-DOWN MENU AGAIN AND CURSOR DOWN TO THE ═╧╓┼ FUNCTION.
╘O PRECLUDE A LENGTHY EXPLANATION, THIS FUNCTION WORKS EXACTLY THE SAME AS
THE ├╧╨┘ FUNCTION, EXCEPT THAT THE DEFINED BLOCK IS PHYSICALLY MOVED FROM
ONE PART OF THE SCREEN TO ANOTHER.
     ╘HE ┼DIT FUNCTION ON THE POP-DOWN MENU ALLOWS YOU TO RETURN TO THE
EDITOR IF YOU HAVE MISTAKENLY GOTTEN INTO THE MENU, OR ARE RESETTING THE
SCREEN WINDOW AFTER A BLOCK ERASE.
     ╘HE NEXT FUNCTIONS WE WILL EXPLORE ARE THE ╞ONTS.  ╘HE FONTS ARE
PROGRAMMED SO THAT ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS CHOOSE A FONT AND THEN TYPE THE
LETTER YOU WANT.  ╘HE LETTER WILL APPEAR IN THE CHOSEN FONT.  ╘HIS
ELIMINATES THE NEED TO BLOCK COPY FONT LETTERS AS IS THE CASE WITH MOST
TEXT GRAPHIC EDITORS.
     ╟O TO THE MENU AND SELECT ╞ONT 1.  ┘OU WILL GET A FLASHING ARROW.
╨OSITION THE ARROW WHERE YOU WANT THE FONT TO APPEAR AND PRESS ANY LETTER.
╘HE LETTER YOU TYPED WILL APPEAR IN ╞ONT 1.  ╘HE CURSOR DOES NOT MOVE OVER
A SPACE FOR EVERY LETTER YOU TYPE, SO YOU MUST MANUALLY CURSOR OVER TO TYPE
ANOTHER LETTER.  ╘HIS ALLOWS THE USER THE OPTION OF POSITIONING THE LETTERS
ANYWHERE ON THE SCREEN. ╘O LEAVE THE FONT MODE AND RETURN TO BASIC EDITOR,
JUST HIT ╥┼╘╒╥╬.  ╞ONT 2 WORKS THE SAME WAY.
     ╞ONTS USE WHATEVER COLOR IS IN COLOR MEMORY.  ╘O CHANGE CHARACTER
COLOR, PRESS THE ┼╙├ KEY AND THE LETTER ╥.  ╘HIS REVERSES THE SCREEN AND
YOU MAY VIEW WHAT COLOR THE FONTS WILL USE.  ├HANGE THE CURSOR TO THE
DESIRED COLOR AND USE SPACE BAR TO PAINT FOUR OR FIVE LINES THAT COLOR.  ╔F
YOU PRESS ┼╙├ @ THE SCREEN WILL CHANGE TO THE CURRENT COLOR OF THE CURSOR

UP TO WHERE THE CURSOR IS AT.  ┬E CAREFUL WITH THIS ┼╙├ SEQUENCE.  ╔T ALSO
ERASES ANYTHING THAT IS ON THE SCREEN IN ITS PATH.  ┴N ┼╙├ ╬ WILL TAKE YOU
BACK TO NORMAL VIDEO.  ╞OR AN EXAMPLE OF THIS PROCESS, LOAD THE GRAPHIC ╒╙┴

THIS POINT USE THE ├╧╬╘╥╧╠ KEY OR ├╧══╧─╧╥┼ KEY AND SELECT THE COLOR YOU TO
WANT WORK WITH.  ┘OU MAY ALSO PRESS ├╧╬╘╥╧╠ ╧ TO TURN FLASH ON, OR ├╧╬╘╥╧╠
┬ TO TURN UNDERLINE ON, OR BOTH.  ╧NCE THE ATTRIBUTE (COLOR, FLASH,
UNDERLINE) IS SELECTED, PRESS ┴╠╘ AND ╥┼╘╒╥╬ KEY ONCE.
     ╬OW SELECT ═╧─╔╞┘ ┴╥┼┴.  ┘OU WILL FIND A FLASHING ARROW IN THE TOP
LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE EDITOR WINDOW.  ═OVE IT WITH THE CURSOR KEYS TO THE
LOCATION WHERE YOU WANT TO START CHANGING THE ATTRIBUTE(S), AND PRESS
RETURN.  ╞ROM THIS POINT ON USE THE CURSOR KEYS TO MOVE AROUND. ┼VERY
