- PWMENU.LBR MAKES PERFECT'S MENU BETTER
-
- I would like to describe a shareware program that has made my use
- of Perfect Writer easier. Shareware means that if you like the
- program and intend to use it, then you should send the author
- money. In this case, I think that the ten dollars is more than
- worthwhile. The program MENU.COM replaces the 22k menu that
- comes with your Kaypro, has more features, and only takes up 8k.
- That's good news for you Kaypro II owners, more disk space on A:.
- As far as I know, this program will work only on 83 II's or 4's.
-
- The directory option on the menu, @b[D], will show in addition to
- the file names, the size of each file and the amount of space
- left on the disk. No need for D or STAT to check disk space. In
- addition, if you hit the ESCAPE key, the directory stays up and
- you can select what to do next. This helps me because I
- sometimes have problems remembering exactly how I spelled a file
- name.
-
- On the @b[E] edit a file(s), you can specify more than one file
- to edit! The last file typed is the one that you will see on the
- screen and the others are assigned to buffers that can be changed
- to with Control X B <buffer>. The names of the buffers are
- displayed with a Control X Control B while in edit mode.
-
- I am really excited about the new @b[F] format a file option.
- When you format a file and get an error, the screen does not
- erase like with your old menu.com until you hit a key. Thus, you
- can see shat the error was. The biggest advantage is in
- formatting a file to the console. When you can select a device
- type, it will pop up a list from which you can select. When the
- formatting begins, you can see what the pages would look like on
- your printer!! Imagine that, pagebreaks with Perfect Writer!
-
- Does this convince you that this program is worth more than $10.
- How about that you can also change disk with the @b[L] log drive
- and not get BDOS errors. The program is on our bulletin board on
- b6: which can be reached by typing SECTION WORDPROC. The file is
- PWMENU.LBR which also contains a doc file. The author is Douglas
- Sears and his address is P. O. Box 5285, Eugene, OR 97405.
