╘HE PRINTER-MACRO FEATURE LETS YOU CUSTOMIZE YOUR COPY OF THIS WORD PROCESSOR SO YOU CAN TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF YOUR PRINTER'S CAPABILITIES. ╔F ╥╒╬ ╙CRIPT ╨LUS EVER SEEMS TO "HANG UP" MYSTERIOUSLY DURING A PRINTOUT, CHECK YOUR PRINTER, WHICH MUST BE ON WHEN OUTPUT TO THE SCREEN OCCURS.
┘OU MAY SELECT ANY UPPER- OR LOWERCASE ALPHABETIC CHARACTER TO BE A MACRO CHARACTER. ╞OR EXAMPLE, LET'S SAY YOU OWN A PRINTER THAT REQUIRES THE SEQUENCE ┼╙├ ╪ (DECIMAL VALUES 27 AND 88) TO START PRINTING DOUBLE-WIDTH CHARACTERS. ╫ITH THE ─EFINE ═ACRO PROGRAM, YOU CAN SELECT A CHARACTER--─, FOR INSTANCE--TO REPRESENT THIS TWO-CHARACTER STRING. ╘HEN, WHEN ─ IS ENCOUNTERED DURING PRINTING, THE DECIMAL SEQUENCE 27,88 WILL BE SENT TO THE PRINTER TO PRODUCE DOUBLE-WIDTH CHARACTERS. ┘OU COULD DEFINE ANOTHER CHARACTER, PERHAPS D, TO CANCEL PRINTING DOUBLE-WIDTH CHARACTERS.
╘O CREATE A DOUBLE-WIDTH HEADING, FIRST PLACE THE CURSOR IN FRONT OF THE HEADING, THEN PRESS THE ╞3 KEY. ┴ "*MAC*" MESSAGE WILL APPEAR ON THE STATUS LINE. ╬EXT, PRESS THE UPPER- OR LOWERCASE ALPHABETIC CHARACTER YOU'VE CHOSEN TO ACTIVATE THE DOUBLE-WIDTH CAPABILITY (IN MY EXAMPLE, ─). ╞INALLY, MOVE THE CURSOR TO THE END OF THE HEADING, PRESS ╞3 AGAIN, AND PRESS THE KEY YOU'VE CHOSEN TO DEACTIVATE THE DOUBLE-WIDTH FEATURE (D, IN MY EXAMPLE).
┘OU CAN CREATE A TABLE OF 52 DIFFERENT MACRO DEFINITIONS, EACH OF WHICH CAN BE FROM ONE TO 20 CHARACTERS LONG.
═--╞1,═ SELECTS THE MACRO CHARACTERS THAT SHOULD BE TURNED OFF BEFORE PRINTING THE LEFT MARGIN, A HEADER OR A FOOTER. ╥╒╬ ╙CRIPT ╨LUS EXPECTS THE SAME MACRO LETTER TO BE USED TO ACTIVATE AND DEACTIVATE PRINTER FUNCTIONS. ╞OR EXAMPLE, IF UNDERLINING IS TURNED ON WITH UPPERCASE ╒, A LOWERCASE U IS NEEDED TO CANCEL IT, AND VICE VERSA.
M--╞1,M LOADS A SET OF MACROS AS DEFINED WITH THE ─EFINE ═ACROS PROGRAM (SEE DISCUSSION BELOW). ╔F YOU ARE USING A ├-128, YOU MUST RUN ─EFINE ═ACROS IN 64 MODE, NOT 128 MODE. ╚OWEVER, THE MACRO TABLE IT CREATES CAN BE USED WITH THE ├-128 VERSION OF ╥╒╬ ╙CRIPT ╨LUS.
