Program Description:
Writer's Heaven is a customization program that transforms the popular word
processing program PC-Write into the fastest and most efficient editing tool
today. Most word processing programs are designed by programmers for
secretaries, and require memorization of a lot of different key sequences to
perform editing commands. Writer's Heaven, using PC-Write's own macro feature,
grafts onto PC-Write a unique keyboard command structure. The result is a word
processor that combines speed, power, simplicity, and ease of learning--a word
processor that brings on-screen editing significantly closer to the speed of
thought. What Writer's heaven does is that it redefines the PC-Write control
file, thus adding its own set of commands while leaving most of the principal
PC-Write command keys intact as an alternate command set. Like any other PC-
Write control file, Writer's Heaven can be modified by the user. All Writer's
Heaven commands are executed on the main portion of the keyboard, using only
the typewriter keys with the keys "Ctrl" and "Alt." No command requires
moving either hand away from its place on the keyboard, which allows for quick
typing and easy editing execution. Without leaving your hands from the
typewriter position, one can move the cursor by space or by word, go to the
left margin or end of text, move the cursor by paragraph, go forward and back
by sentences, scroll the screen up and down, go to the beginning and end of
the document, perform marking and block operations, perform swap and
transposition functions, reformat the text, plus much more. In addition,
Writer's Heaven has a reverse video for better viewing, but this can be
changed if desired. The documentation states that this will work on a
monochrome or single-color CRT moniter, but it also works with an EGA moniter.
Writer's heaven requires the program PC-Write version 2.6 or 2.7, and may work
on later versions but will not work on earlier versions. Writer's heaven also
provides a help screen that can be grafted on to the regular PC-Write help
file, but all the keys are logically placed and easy to learn for any user.
