Disclaimer:  These Wordperfect 5.1 macros are released in an AS IS condition.
No warranty is provided that they will work for you or be what you want or
need.  Use them at your own risk.  I wrote these macros to make things easy
for myself; if they do the same for you then fine - I accept no responsibility
for any document on which any of these macros were used and for which you may
claim damage as a result of said use.

Disclaimer #2:  No Government time, equipment, or resources were involved in
the development of this macro suite.  However, the Government has benefited
from their use.

Updates.  These macros are periodically updated as I add to, improve, or
enhance them.  Improvements are always in the works. To date, several of these
macros have been completely replaced or substantially improved/modified over
their original state.

Recommended Machine.  The faster the machine the better the performance.  I
have run these macros on an 8MHz AT and, though SLOW, they worked fine.
However, nothing less than 12MHz is recommended (and even they may be a tad
slow...). However, if you don't know any better (aren't addicted to speed like
some of us) most of these macros should prove more than adequate.  Some will
seem just TOO SLOW on a slow machine to be useful.

Recommended WordPerfect Interim Release Version.  31 May 91 or later. The
reason for this is that ALTF (FILES) and ALTX (EXIT) rely on a feature added
to interim release dated 31 May 91. This feature allows easy detection of the
use of Long Document Names.  If you aren't using Long Document Names and you
have interim release 30 Dec 90 or earlier, you can, if you can do some macro
programming, route the macro around the long document name test.  Your best
bet, though, is to upgrade to the latest interim release of Wordperfect for
DOS.  For registered users this means about $15. Contact the WordPerfect
Orders Desk at [phone].

What's Provided.
I.  The following macros are provided. Some are found within a WordPerfect
keyboard definition file (WPK). Included below is a brief description of each
macro.
    Notes:
    a)  ENV.WPM needs the file called ENVELOPE.REF placed in your WP51
    directory before it works correctly (also, these files are separate and
    not in the keyboard definition file).  Additionally, you'll need to
    modify ENVELOPE.REF for your particular printer.
    b) ALTH, the Help macro is too large for inclusion into the WPK.
II. The following macros are provided:                                                       MNEMONIC BASIS

NOTES:
1. Macros provided in the WPK, but not mentioned here are considered
temporary.
2. These macros are powerful augmentations to WordPerfect's native
abilities.  However, on slow machines, these macros will likewise seem slow.
On faster machines though, they'll just whiz by.  Recommended machines are
those with clock speeds of 12 MHz or faster.
3. These macros have a tendency of being constantly revised, updated, and/or
improved.Macro Descriptions:
ALT A     Essentially the same as the Shf F8, (O)ther, (A)dvance menu
          selection.  However, this macro requires far fewer keystrokes to
          access.  Additionally, being menu driven makes it easier to use.

ALT B     This is an extremely feature filled, highly useful macro.
          a. Combines the features of MOVE (CTRL F4) with a few other
          enhancements.  Allows the user to block the following types of
          text:  character(s), word(s), sentence, paragraph, page or a
          specified block.  It then allows the addition of various
          enhancements (font size or attribute),  super/subscripts, quotes,
          delete the block (a sort of enhancement...), upper/lowercase, or to
          keep it blocked.
          b. Text in the move buffer may also be retrieved.  Duplicates and
          improves upon WordPerfect's block retrieve feature (CTRL F4 4 1,
          also known as CTRL F4 RB)
          c. You can also move, copy or delete the defined block of text.
          Note:  Text deleted with this macro is placed in the Move block
          temporary storage area and not in the delete holding area.
          Retrieve it using ALTR or the retrieve block option in menu 1.
          d. Lowercasing a sentence will capitalize the first letter of it's
          first word.
          e. Lowercasing a PARAGRAPH will recapitalize the first letter of
          every sentence's first word within the paragraph
          f. If you've already blocked some text when you run this macro it
          will automatically go to the Menu 2. This menu provides for
          operation upon blocks of text
          g. Two true quotes is placed in the document by hitting ALT-B O Q
          (access the BLOCKing macro, ■O■ for Options menu and ■Q■ for
          Quotes).  If the character at the cursor is a space the two quote
          characters are entered and the cursor placed between them
          otherwise, the character at the cursor is quoted.  However, if
          there is a blocked region, that region is quoted.
          h. Menu 3. Essentially the same as hitting Ctrl F8 (A)ppearance or
          (S)ize and then the appropriate menu item.  What this macro does is
          put these options in the same menu.  This macro is sensitive to
          active blocks.  If a menu choice is made without text being
          blocked, the character on which the cursor rests will take on the
          attribute chosen from the menu.  However, if a block is active, all
          text within that block takes on the attribute of the chosen menu
          item.  NOTE:  Normally part the (S)ize option of CTRL F8 menu,
          Super/Subscripts are not within this section of the macro.
          Sub/Superscripts exits at the previous level of this macro
          i. If Menu 2 is chosen from Menu 1 (with no active block), the
          chosen option acts as if a single character was chosen; exception:
          Move and Copy which will not work without an active block of text
          chosen.
          j. You may uppercase the first character of a word or the first
          word of each sentence without lowercasing the sentence or paragraph
          first.
          k. Spell check a defined block or the current word.
          ■Limitation■:  1) Character blocks only recognize the following as
          valid characters:  0-9, a-z and A-Z Use the Wordperfect BLOCK
          feature (ALT F4, or, on extended keyboards F12) for other
          characters. 2) When moving or copying text to the end of a document
          ensure that at least two spaces exist at the location to which you
          are moving/copying the text.  If you don't, the moved/copied text
          won't appear automatically.  The problem lies with WordPerfect
          somehow and I haven't figured a way around it yet.  If the text
          doesn't appear as expected hit the retrieve macro (ALT-R) to obtain
          it.  3)  Block copies and moves may not work as expected when those
          copies/moves cover more than one column (block or block protect
          columns) or more than one table cell.

ALT C     Adds a Drop Cap to your paragraph.  Allows you to specify the
          desired character or, if a character is blocked will convert that
          character to a Drop Cap.  You may also specify a new size for the
          base font.  Requires scalable font capability.  DON'T USE WITHIN
          TABLES!

ALT D     An extension to the LIST (F5) key in that this macro is
          customizable to include the subdirectories or drives used often.
          This means they are only one or two keystrokes away rather than
          many. You may want to customize it for your particular subdirectory
          structure.  (ALT D).

          NOTES:
          1.  The WordPerfect files directory is assumed to be called WPDOC.
          You may change it though by changing the contents of the variable
          DOCDIR. This variable is located at the beginning of the macro for
          easy modification, if necessary.
          2. The WordPerfect subdirectory is assumed to be called WP51.  You
          may change the contents of the variable called WPDIR to reflect
          your WordPerfect subdirectory.
          3.  This macro is designed for use with LONG or SHORT file names.
          However, unless you have a Jun 90 or later WordPerfect 5.1 interim
          release the use of long filenames will not correctly be detected
          and the macro may not work correctly.

ALT F     Saves a file or retrieves a file depending upon the status of the
          document. There is also an option to provide a document summary or
          print the file (or a portion of it).  The primary purpose for this
          file though, are the features described below.
          Save File.  If the current document window has a file in it (or has
          been modified in any way) this macro displays a menu which has a
          number of options for saving the current file. The macro detects
          files with no names and prompts the user to supply one.
          Retrieve File.  If the current document is BLANK the macro
          retrieves information from a special file concerning the last
          file(s) edited.  This information was obtained during an exit from
          WordPerfect using the Exit macro (ALTX)). This information is then
          displayed to the user.  Depending upon the information displayed,
          one or more files may be retrieved.  During the process of
          retrieving the file(s) the cursor relocated to the last edited
          position.  LIMITATIONS: 1) If page renumbering was used then the
          cursor may not return to the exact same spot.  However, the macro
          attempts to place the cursor at an ■equivalent■ spot of matching
          the page, line and position on the line locations. 2) You'll need
          Jun 90 or later WordPerfect interim release if you use long
          document names.

          NOTE: If you are upgrading from a version of these macros which is
          prior to late October 91 you'll need to run the CONVERT macro to
          auto-retrieve your files (as described above).

ALT H     Provides a brief description of all macros provided. Completely
          menu driven.

ALT L     Provides an easy method of switching between Long and Short (DOS)
          Document names when Saving and/or listing files.  All legal options
          are provided:
          a. Long names when saving: long names or short names in display
          listing
          b. Short names when saving: long names or short names in display
          listing.

ALT N     There are a number of chosen characters in many different
          categories. Nominally organized by category choose the character(s)
          by number. If your printer doesn't recognize the character chosen
          WP51 sends it as a graphic (provided your printer is not a daisy
          wheel printer).  LIMITATION:  There are three symbols which use
          user defined character specifications (Character set 12).  They are
          #'s 54, 59, and 61.  They may or may not print.  If they do print,
          there is no telling how they'll print unless you use ITC Zapf
          Dingbats (I'm currently using the Postscript cartridge for a
          LaserJet II).  Redefine as necessary.  NOTE:  alphabetic characters
          entered with numbers will show up as bad options but will not
          interfere with any other chosen options.

ALT P     Print a page, specified pages, the entire document, initialize the
          printer, or go to the WordPerfect print menu (SHF F7).  During
          print operation the macro identifies whether a page or the document
          is being printed. This macro also reports the page number on which
          the cursor rests.  Just prior to exiting, the macro reports that it
          is exiting.  This is a helpful feature for slower machines which
          may take some time before being able to actually exit.

ALT V     The same as Shf F7, (V)iew

ALT X■    Exit from WP or the document.  Sensitive to whether the current
          document has been modified.  Calls ALTF for file save operations.
          Detects blank files and automatically exits from either WP or the
          document when called.  If called, and printing is on-going. this
          macro provides the option of continuing with the exit or returning
          to the document to continue printing.  Additionally, on an exit
          from WordPerfect this macro saves the information on the current
          file(s) for later automatic retrieval. This information is used by
          ALTF for automatic file retrieval.

CTRL A    Stores a file as ASCII text.  Takes current filename, removes
          extension, and supplies a specific extension for the ASCII save --
          as supplied that extension is "TXT".  User may redefine extension
          by changing variable contents at beginning of macro.  User may
          store file with a different file name and/or path by supplying the
          appropriate information.  The default ASCII file extension may also
          be overridden to force storage of file with a specific filename and
          extension.  Existing files with same name are detected.  Files
          without names when macro is executed are detected.  Original
          filename is restored at the completion of an ASCII store.  A file
          with same name when the ASCII extension is added is detected and
          taken care of during an ASCII save (ASCII saves will not be
          overwritten by a WP51 format document inadvertently)

CTRL D    Provides options to chose a date format for inserting into a
          document.  These formats include Standard (mm dd, yy), Military (dd
          mm yy), and Contracting (yy mm dd).  Additionally, the name of the
          month may be a three letter abbreviation or fully written out.  The
          year may be the last two digits (e.g. 91) or the entire year (e.g.
          1991).

CTRL S    Places a superscripted value over a subscripted value.  Example:
          Eab.  The macro places a space directly after the last value so the
          user can continue typing.  Also, the macro is independent of font
          size and uses no position sensitive codes.  Spacing adjustment is
          automatically calculated for proper placement of text.  CAVEAT:  If
          the size of text is changed AFTER this character set is created you
          may need to make proper adjustment for the superscripted value (or
          redo the equation). However, a variance of two points, larger or
          smaller, does not significantly alter the appearance of the printed
          result.  If the typeface is  changed (say from Times Roman to
          Century Schoolbook) chances are the equation WILL need to be
          redone.

ALT -     Provides for paragraph numbering. Executing this macro and hitting
          ■A■ or ■ENTER■ will create an automatic paragraph numbering based
          upon the number of tabs/indents the cursor is from the left margin.
          Hitting a number between 1 and 8 will chose a specific level of
          paragraph numbering. The Option ■N■ will reset the new paragraph
          number to 1. The ■S■, setup, option will send you to the paragraph
          numbering setup menu provided by WordPerfect.

ALT [     Takes the character at the cursor and transposes it left by one
          position. Characters include formatting characters as well. See ALT
          ].

ALT ]     Takes the character at the cursor and transposes it right by one
          position.  Characters include formatting characters as well.  If
          the character at the cursor is one which is not paired (as in
          {BOLD}{bold} it may be transposed.  If the character is paired, the
          cursor is moved until a transposable character is found- it is then
          transposed.

ALT Enh Right Arrow
          Right/LeftPlaces cursor at next column or table cell

ALT Enh Left Arrow
          Places cursor at previous column or table cell

CRTL Enh Left Arrow
          Places cursor at the end of the word to the left of the current
          word.  Moves past all formatting code until cursor reaches the
          actual text

CTRL Enh Right Arrow
          Places cursor at the end of the current word.  Moves through the
          word until it reaches the end of the word (or formatting code
          whichever comes first)

Shift Enh Right Arrow
          Move cursor to the beginning of the next sentence

Shift Enh Left Arrow
          Move cursor to the beginning of the previous sentence

CTRL PgDn Retrieve the contents of a memory variable. (RXMEM) To use, the
          memory variable must exist (otherwise there's nothing to retrieve
          and you get an error message).  To assign a memory variable from
          the keyboard, block the text desired (up to 127 characters) and hit
          Ctrl PageUp.  At the variable prompt, provide a name and hit enter.
          Or, hit Ctrl PageUp, and at the variable prompt, provide a name and
          hit enter.  Then, at the value prompt, enter the desired text.  To
          retrieve the contents of this variable hit Ctrl Pageup and provide
          the name of that variable.  The retrieved text is placed directly
          into your document.  This macro is assigned to the PgDn key of
          extended keyboards.

CTRL Del  Delete a block of text or, if block isn't active, the current word

ENV       Creates the text to place on an envelope which is then placed on a
          page defined by ENVELOPE.REF.  Menu options allow editing your
          info, viewing the document, exiting to the document, deleting the
          current page or adding another record.  You may want to rename this
          to ENV.

FN        This file is used by ALTF and ALTX to handle the manipulation of a
          filename and it's path. This macro takes a file's name and path and
          allows you to replace, insert and or add characters to the file
          specification. It then returns the result to the calling macro.  It
          has NO direct user utility.

CTRL M    (MEMO) The macro will prompt for the type of Memorandum it is (i.e.
          Memo for...).  It also prompts for the subject of the memo and from
          whom.  The macro then places the Memo text on the first line flush
          left, the Date is placed flush right and then a graphic line is
          inserted under which is placed the subject and from.  All tabs and
          margins are automatically setup.

CTRL L    (LTRHD) Prompts for REPLY TO ATTN OF, SUBJECT, and TO for placement
          on Military preprinted letterhead.  Variables are created such that
          it is easy to change the placement of these inputs to compensate
          for actual placement of these prompts between different batches of
          letterhead.  Note: this letterhead is usually ¼" narrower than
          normal 8.5"x11" paper.  This means that if you measure a one inch
          left margin (about two spaces to the right of the semi-colon) you
          will actually need about a 1.17" left margin (for example).  All
          document initialization's are placed at the top of the macro.
          Useful tool for non-military as well - modify as appropriate to
          your organizational letterhead (or your own).Replaced Macros.  These are macros which, as others matured, had their
          abilities taken over by another (i.e. were superseded).

REMOVED
.
ALT S  Search (forward/reverse), Spell, subscript/superscript.  Everything
       but search transferred to the Blocking macro (ALTB). The search
       capability provided no real value added over the native WP search
       capabilities.

REPLACED by ALT B.  This macro now has all of the functionality of these
macros, including ease of use, such that they are now longer necessary as
standalone macros:

ALT C  Upper or lower cases a character or, if the block is active,
       upper/lower case all text within the block
ALT E  Enhance Text:  Size and Appearance
ALT I  Italicize a character or a block of characters
ALT L  Lowercase a character or a block of characters
ALT Q  True quotes of a block of text or if no active block, placement of the
       cursor between two true quotes
ALT R  Retrieve text from WordPerfect buffer
ALT S  The Spell Check option of this macro was revised, extended and
       improved by inclusion into ALTB
ALT S  Subscript and Superscript capability transferred into ALTB.
ALT U  Uppercase a character or a block of characters
ALT W  1.  Blocks a word. This macro is punctuation sensitive.
       2.  Transposes a word forward or reverse of its present position

Notes.
■  If ALTX recognizes that a document was modified it calls the SAVE macro,
ALTF, to save it.  If you execute ALTX and ALTF resides in a keyboard
definition file an error is generated because WordPerfect can't find ALTF.
The problem is that a WP51 macro cannot call (and therefore execute) another
macro which exists only in a keyboard definition file.  Macros (within a
keyboard definition file or standalone) can only call standalone macros.
■  The HP Laser Jet Series II appears to be off by 0.2c (too much) when
advancing.  The letterhead macro is the one place I've noticed this ■problem.■
Measurements are made to place the text at specific places used by the
military pre-printed letterhead and the measurement for the left margin may
need appropriate adjustments for your printer. These macros are currently
setup for the Apple LaserWriter IINTX (or HP Series II with a Postscript
Cartridge).Macro Dependencies:

(1) ALT F - ALT P, ALT X, ALTD, DP, FN, ASCII(2)ALT X - ALT F, DP, FN
(3) ALT [ - TR                           (4)  Env - ALT P
(5) ALT D - DP, FN                       (6)  ALT L - ALT D, ALT F
(7) ASCII - DP, FN, ALT F

NOTES:
1. All WordPerfect (DOS) standalone macro files have WPM as their extension.
Other macro files are found in WordPerfect keyboard file (which have WPK
extensions).
2. Any macro which is depended upon by another macro for certain features must
remain as a standalone macro.
3. ALTF relies on information supplied by ALTX (when WP51 is exited) to retrieve
the last file(s) edited.
4. Macros which call other macros CANNOT call a macro in the same or different
keyboard definition file.  This means, if such an event happens, and the called
macro is not found in the macro directory (a .WPM file) it is reported as missing
or non-existent.
5. Neither FN nor DP have any user capability.  They provide features for the
macros which call them.
6. The DOS filename for ALT], the TRANSPOSE RIGHT macro is TR.  DOS won't accept
the "]" character as part of a filename so ALT] isn't a viable name. TR is the
standalone version of the ALT] macro which is in the WPK file.
7. This macro, ASCII, was assigned to the CTRL A key. ASCII is no longer
embedded within the keyboard definition file.

Improvement History (by macro):
ALTA
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 3.7e)

ALTB
21 Sep1 Printing of any block is now allowed now.  This includes a character,
        word, or sentence (previously disallowed).  This macro allows printing
        a block at it's current location.  WordPerfect will get the line correct
        but if you printed the blocked region which exists in the middle of a
        paragraph, it'll print beginning at the left margin.  This macro has it
        start printing at the line position reported by WordPerfect.  NOTE
        (important):  WordPerfect does microjustification.  Therefore, if you
        use other than left justification in your documents the true location
        on the page may not accurately reported (for some reason) by
        WordPerfect.  Also, the blocked region will have it's own
        microjustification independent of the text surrounding it so, a sentence
        in the middle of the paragraph may print differently from what you might
        expect (less tight kerning for instance).  With this in mind, happy
        printing! The macro also identifies what type of block you are printing
        (character, word, etc). (Version 3.33)

22 Sep1 The two methods I've used to test for end/begin of document don't always
        work correctly between different interim releases of WP. This might
        evidence itself by a tilde (~) appearing in your document.  I started
        seeing this with interim release 5/31/91 when blocking sentences at the
        end of a document. I had to rewrite the sentence blocking section to
        avoid this problem.  If no sentence is recognized an error message is
        generated before returning to menu 1.  This is possible if there is
        nothing to block or, you are at the bottom of the document and
        formatting codes exist after the last sentence but before the end of the
        document.

        I also reworked all four menus slightly.  These menus are now one line
        higher than before. Menu 3 is now wrapped onto the lowest line instead
        of going to the end of first line. In multiple mode the only line which
        gets rewritten now is the lowest line.  This line identifies those
        enhancements being added to the document.  This is especially beneficial
        to those with slower systems since the entire menu needn't be rewritten
        now. If you attempt to go to menu 4 without first blocking something the
        error message is displayed in the lowest line.
        An entire screen refresh is no longer performed between menus as was a
        previous practice.

        Formerly, during an index, if you made an index entry for the primary
        index but didn't want a subindex you got one anyway. This is fixed.
        Now, to accept a subindex you either hit the "=" key (and hit enter to
        accept the default subindex) or type in another subindex.  Hitting the
        enter key without an entry will default to NO subindex.  (Version 3.34)

23 Sep1 Fixed a problem with a sentence being blocked such that the blocking
        would end with the cursor on one or more lines below the block start but
        at the left margin.  This would cause a "No Sentence Found" error (which
        was bogus). (Version 3.34a)

23 Sep1 Abbreviated the menus to allow quicker screen writing on slower
        machines.  Improved menu 3 to write only the necessary changes when
        going between the Multiple and non-multiple modes.  This substantially
        improves the speed at which the menu modes switches. (Version 3.34b)

23 Sep1 Menu 4 now includes options to go directly to Menus 1, 2 or 3.  Hitting
        the enter key in any of the menus takes you to the previous menu level.
        One minor difference is that if menu 4 was called from menu 2, hitting
        the enter key in menu 4 will return you to menu 2.  Returning to menu
        1 from any of the other menus will still turn off the active blocking
        but will also return the cursor to the beginning of that block rather
        than leaving it at the end of the block as was the case. (Version 3.34c)

23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 3.34d)

13 Oct1 A minor bug caused menu 3 to display when a sentence was blocked.
        However, menu 2's options were active (not menu 3's).  This no longer
        occurs. Another fix involved words which contained soft hyphens (the one
        you get directly from the keyboard).  WordPerfect would have now problem
        blocking the entire word containing hyphens.  However, the macro would
        block a word up to the hphen.  This was fixed to perform similarly to
        the way WordPerfect's word block performs. (Version 3.34e)

11 Dec1 Minor change to Quotes.  Added checking for a hard return at the current
        cursor location. Now, if a space OR a hard return is found, the quotes
        are placed next to each other and the cursor moved between them.
        Without this check for the hard return I found that the close quote
        would often end up on the next line (after the hard return). (Version
        3.34f)

11 Dec1 Minor change made to Multiple Enhancements.  Added a prompt to show
        which options being added. As each option is added to the document it
        is stripped from the displayed list options chosen. This display is
        particularly useful for slower systems and provides feedback that
        something is actually being done.  Fast machines'll probably see a quick
        blip of info...  (Version 3.34g)

ALTC
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 2.60a)

ALTD
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 3.70o)

2 Oct1  If an error occurs the WordPerfect is reset to used the default document
        directory to be on the save side of things. (Version 3.70p)

10 Nov1 Removed directory menu information and placed it into a separate file,
        DIRPATH.  This file is then used by all other macros needing access to
        that same menu information (ALTF, for instance). Options are now case
        sensitive (they are no longer converted to uppercase from lowercase).
        (Version 3.8)

12 Nov1 Made a few changes to make it easier to make changes to drives and
        directories. All directory and drive information is now in DP (formerly
        called DIRPATH). (Version 3.8a)

13 Nov1 Fixed the macro so that it works more closely to WordPerfect's
        operation. So, if you chose to do a directory on drive A (with ALTD) and
        later you hit LIST (F5) you'll get a default directory of drive A.
        Previous to this you'd get a default directory listing of your WP51
        Document directory.  An error handling routine was reactivated. After
        displaying its menu the error routine will return to the directory menu.
        (Version 3.8b)

14 Nov1 Added a routine to assist, in certain cases, accessing drives.  It does
        this by reminding WP what the default drive is.  To perform ONLY this
        reset, execute ALTD and then exit the macro. (Version 3.8c)

17 Nov1 Let's say you chose the OTHER option.  Then, you decided that's not what
        you wanted to do and hit CANCEL. The 2nd menu line which identified the
        current path wasn't restored.  This was fixed. (Version 3.8d)

21 Nov1 Variables were being cleared which were needed for proper saving of the
        autoretrieve file.  This was a holdover from the time when this was a
        self-contained file.  These variables no longer need to be cleared at
        the end of this macro any longer. (Version 3.8d1)

12 Dec1 Moved an identifier variable to earlier in the macro to allow proper
        menu display under certain circumstances. (Version 3.8d2)

ALTF
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 3.35a)

29 Sep1 Substantially enhanced AutoRetrieve capability.  Macro now retrieves one
        or more files depending on the information stored in the data file.
        Senses status of files currently loaded and adjusts the menu
        accordingly.  For instance, if information on two files is stored in the
        data file and one file is already being edited then you may retrieve one
        files indicated and not both.  Macro added the option of NOSAVE to the
        menu line.  Normally this option isn't needed.  However, it might be
        needed when this macro is called by the EXIT macro (ALT X). (Version
        3.4)

29 Sep1 It used to be that you had to provide a name for files without names.
        This has changed. The user is now asked if he/she wants to provide a
        name.  If the answer is yes the macro proceeds as usual.  If the answer
        is no then the macro is exited.  This is not normally an issue unless
        the EXIT Macro (ALT X) has called this macro. (version 3.40a)

30 Sep1 A bug in the program wouldn't allow the retrieve menu to display under
        some conditions.  This was fixed.  The macro was also modified so that
        when called by the EXIT macro (ALT X) with a blank file the user may
        exit the macro (by using the cancel key and thereby the exit operation),
        provide the file with a name, or exit the file. Prior to this an exit
        from an unnamed file using the ALT X macro wasn't directly possible.
        (Version 3.40b)

1 Oct1  Fixed a problem which occurred when making a choice not provided - the
        macro would end up exiting after a short while. Made some changes to
        allow proper operation of the EXIT macro (ALT X) when the ALL and both
        document options called this macro and the file had no name. What
        happens is that a return code is returned based upon an option made in
        this macro.  Part of this change was the modification of the menu used
        for unnamed files to include a CANCEL option.  (Version 3.41)

2 Oct1  Made some programmatic changes to improve user control under certain
        circumstances (primarily in providing answers to prompts.  Some prompts
        looked only for a "Y" answer with all other responses, rightly or
        wrongly, all grouped together. These changes stop that practice.)
        (Version 3.41a)

4 Oct1  Macro was doing a name check of the file being saved via a system call
        rather than a variable call.  This was providing improper results at
        times. (Version 3.41b)

6 Oct1  Gave a more flexible rename capability.  When a file is given a name a
        path may or may not be specified. Once the name is supplied return is
        made to the main menu. From here, you may store to any drive or
        subdirectory listed with a simple keystroke.  For drives, the name you
        supplied is used along with the drive specified.  For subdirectories,
        these take direct control and store immediately to that subdirectory.
        If you've renamed a file and you've specified the root directory and you
        want to store that file to a subdirectory, forget it with this version
        unless you store the file first.  This will be fixed in a future
        version.  The Rename menu for use with long document names has been
        slightly modified to be less confusing and more direct.  (Version 3.51)

7 Oct1  Improved auto-recall error handling.  If one or the other file doesn't
        exist the one which does exist is retrieved into document #1 and the
        user left in document #1. If neither exist nothing is retrieved!
        (Version 3.51a)

7 Oct1  Fixed the root directory problem identified by the 6th of Oct change.
        Choosing a root directory as part of the name of a file is no longer a
        problem.  Now, the new name is parsed and separated from the path
        regardless of length.  (Version 3.51b)

13 Oct1 Changed the routine which gives/changes filenames to a subroutine
        module. Portions of this macro which rely on this subroutines' functions
        must now CALL (as opposed to GO to) it. Portions of this macro which
        merely went to this routine were modified to reflect that change.
        (Version 3.52)

27 Oct1 Modified the macro to rely on a routine which specifically handles the
        full path specification of a file during a file save.  See FN for a
        description of the full functionality. (Version 3.6)

3 Nov1  Added OTHER option to the menu.  This allows the user to specify a
        destination not identified by the menu when saving a file. (Version
        3.6a)

3 Nov1  Provided a multiple save option.  This allows more than one save
        location during a save operation.  NOTES: (1) Only provided drives
        and/or subdirectories are valid options (OTHER isn't provided at this
        time). (2) A RESET to the original subdirectory or drive is performed
        after all save operations (including multiple operations and all single
        drive operations, excluding single subdirectory saves). (Version 3.7)

6 Nov1  a) Fixed a tendency the macro had with saving the file to the original
        path three times during a multiple save (the original path is the path
        the file had when the macro was first run).  b) Changed the "save to a
        drive path" option to act like a save to a subdirectory path (i.e., that
        option BECOMES the path).  This doesn't happen during multiple saves
        though.  After multiple saves the path is reset to the original path.
        c) Long document names weren't being saved during a file save (i.e.,
        during Rename or providing a nameless file a name). Fixed this problem.
        (Version 3.71)

7 Nov1  Added several options: SUMMARY and PRINT. Also added additional
        identification for the OTHER option for clarification of its use.
        SUMMARY puts the user into the document summary screen -- ALTF
        terminates. The PRINT option executes and passes control to the PRINT
        macro (ALTP) -- ALTF terminates. Minor changes were made to the SAVE
        menu. (Version 3.72)

10 Oct1 Took the menu of options out of this macro and placed it in a macro file
        called "DIRPATH".  This macro file is reponsible for all menu options.
        The advantage of this is that this file is also used by all files
        needing access to this same menu (ALTD, for instance). Options are now
        case sensitive (they are no longer converted to uppercase from
        lowercase). (Version 3.73)

12 Nov1 Made some changes to make it easier to add/delete/modify directories
        and/or drives.  All drive and/or directory information is now contained
        in DP (formerly DIRPATH).  DP is called to initialize some variables
        used by ALTF. (Version 3.73a)

14 Nov1 Added a routine to assist, in certain cases, accessing drives.  It does
        this by reminding WP what the default drive is.  To perform ONLY this
        reset, execute ALTF and then exit the macro. (Version 3.73b)

17 Nov1 Let's say you chose the OTHER option.  Then, you decided that's not what
        you wanted to do and hit CANCEL. The 2nd menu line which identified the
        current path specification wasn't restored.  This was fixed. (Version
        3.73c)

19 Nov1 Suppose you decided to rename a file. If you get all the way to the full
        path specification and then  decide you don't want to rename the file
        after all. You hit CANCEL twice (to get back to the main FILE menu) only
        to discover that the path specification had TWO copies of the path to
        the file - no longer. (Version 3.73d)

21 Nov1 The document identification line in the menu was changed so that a file
        with no name was a tad more unambiguously identified.  Variables
        initialization is now performed prior to checking for a blank document.
        (Version 3.74)

22 Nov1 Minor menu modifications. (Version 3.74a)

23 Nov1 In the rename menu, where you were providing the new filename, the
        current filename (and/or path) wasn't being displayed. (Version 3.74b)

24 Nov1 If a file with the same name already exists as the newly named or
        renamed file a message to that effect is created.  You may accept the
        new name (and overwrite the "original" file) or provide another name.
        (Version 3.75)

24 Nov1 The capability provided with the previous revision has been extended for
        the EXIT macro (ALTX). When a file is renamed at the EXIT menu of the
        EXIT macro the existence of a file of the same name is checked prior to
        the actual file save. (Version 3.75a)

26 Nov1 When CANCEL was hit before reaching the filename there was no longer any
        way (really) to give the file a name without going completely out of the
        macro and reentering it. This is no longer the case. (Version 3.75b)

26 Nov1 Added an option to save file as ASCII.  This option transfers control
        over to the ASCII macro. Also removed some code which caused spurious
        "FILE EXIST" operation (when it shouldn't do so). (Version 3.76)

27 Nov1 Modified to display the EXIT menu header if ALTX (exit document option)
        calls this macro. (Version 3.76a)

1 Dec1  Initial version capable of retrieving up to two documents out of a
        maximum total of 4 of the most recently edited documents.  User must
        identify the document(s) to retrieve, in any order, up to 2 in quantity.
        If both document screens are empty the user may request 2 documents,
        otherwise only 1 may be retrieved. (Version 4.00)

5 Dec1  Revised the retrieve algorithm for better efficiency.  Order of document
        request is order of retrieval (in other words, the numbers 31 will
        retrieve document #3 to document screen 1 and document #1 to document
        screen #2).  Added the ability to remove 1 or more files from the
        autoretrieve data file.  Removing all files causes macro termination
        after informing that there are no files to retrieve.  (Version 4.01)

10 Dec1 If Multiple Save was called immediately after a file rename, the process
        of returning to the "original path and file name" would result in a
        reset of the file to its original and not the newly provided name.
        (Version 4.01a)

11 Dec1 If you don't want to choose from the AutoRetrieve file selections hit
        the EXIT key and you'll enter the DIRECTORY macro (ALTD). (Version
        4.01b)

12 Dec1 Made a few minor changes so that when ASCII is called just after a file
        rename (and before it has actually been saved) it knows that the current
        file does indeed have a name. (Version 4.02)

13 Dec1 Made some minor changes to support a call from ALTX during a document
        exit. This change basically involved moving document exit responsibility
        from ALTF to ALTX if EXIT was chosen at the ALTF menu requesting the
        user to provide a file name (for a file without a name). (Version 4.02a)

13 Dec1 Made some minor changes to allow the normal ALTF message line above the
        main menu when called by ALTX during a document exit. (Version 4.02b)

ALTH
21 Sep1 Updated for changes to ALTN. (Version 2.03c)

11 Nov1 Broke the macro into four (4) sections. The first section is the master
        menu (ALT H). The other sections are for each type of macro key: ALT,
        CTRL, and Shift.  These macros are named ALTKEY, CTRLKEY, and SHFKEY
        respectively.  Operation of the macro is essentially the same. (Version
        2.1)

14 Dec1 Finally placed a less terse menu in the main help menu.  Added the space
        bar to the options which'll quit the help macro.

ALTL
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 2.00c)

ALTN
21 Sep1 Added a new category: Technical.  Added several characters too. Angstrom
        (Å) was placed in Technical and degree (■) was moved there. The square
        root sign and hi-bar were added to Math.  These two together make a
        decent looking square root sign (√■). ) (Version 2.92)

23 Sep1 Sometimes, the macro wouldn't accept the first character.  A guess is
        that the bad option flag was set when the macro was run resulting in a
        bogus error indication.  This flag is now reset upon running the macro.
        Hopefully this fixes the problem. (Version 2.91a)

ALTP
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 2.41a)

2 Oct1  Made a message change to the menu for allowing the printing of odd or
        even pages from a range of user supplied page numbers.  Also, provided
        an extension to the "print from current page to end" and the "print from
        start to current page" so that only odd or even pages are printed.  The
        user only selects "e" or "o" with a "+" or "-" to do so.  At this time
        the options "oe", "eo", "+-" and "-+" will print ALL pages (it's
        equivalent to Print Entire Document).  (Version 2.50)

3 Oct1  Redid the main menu.  Renamed "Specific Page(s)" to "Multiple Page(s)".
        Renamed "Document" to "File" Option.  Rearranged the menu to read "This
        Page/File". Cleaned up a few minor bugs. (Version 2.50a)

ALTV    No change since 12 Jan 91

ALTX
21 Sep1 If not at the main editing screen (for example, while in a page preview
        or directory list), hitting ALT X will exit to it.  (Version 2.13a)

23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 2.13b)

29 Sep1 Major Revision.  Macro now stores information on both documents so one
        or the other may be retrieved by the FILE macro (ALT F).  Information
        is obtained on only non-empty files.  Information on all available files
        is displayed to the user, to rename or accept, before an actual file
        save is completed.  During a file rename the user may give the file a
        new name to store the file by or tell the macro not to save the file.
        Accept will save the files, store the file information (path, name,
        cursor position), and exit WordPerfect. The data file has a different
        structure than previous versions.  A macro (Convert.wpm ) has been
        provided to convert from the old to the new structure. (Version 3.00)

30 Sep1 Exit ALL documents is now provided.  This procedure is functionally the
        same as the WordPerfect exit except that the user remains in WordPerfect
        after all documents are exited. Also, through changes to the FILE macro
        (ALT F), the current unnamed document may be exited under control of the
        macro.  Prior to this such an action wasn't directly possible. (Version
        3.00a)

1 Oct1  Fixed a problem in which an improper call to the FILE macro (ALT F)
        disabled proper macro execution. Fixed some minor problems with making
        choices which weren't on the menu. Fixed a problem with the option ALL.
        When there were files with no names both files might or might not be
        exited. Either that or there'd be an error of some sort. Modifications
        to the FILE macro (ALT F) and the EXIT (ALT X) macro together now allow
        proper operation on unnamed files. Now the files aren't arbitrarily
        exited when the options ALL, document or DOCUMENT are chosen. (Version
        3.01)

4 Oct1  Gave direct access to available files (modified or unmodified) for
        renaming (a shortcut to the renaming a file). The saving of a renamed
        file didn't work correctly in the previous version but has been fixed
        in this one. If a file has been given a new name it is saved under that
        new name (whether or not the original was modified) along with the
        appropriate cursor location information.  Note: in this version it is
        important for the user to supply the file's full path as part of its new
        name.  This is particularly important for later automatic retrieval of
        the file.  If you use C: instead of C:\, for instance, the macro will
        look in the current directory instead of the root directory.  If the
        current directory is not the root directory the file won't be found...
        Also, disabled the use of the ENTER key at the RENAME ACCEPT menu. The
        user is now forced to respond appropriately (it was nice to respond with
        the ENTER key to save the files and exit WordPerfect but it easily
        caused problems) (Version 3.02)

6 Oct1  This change provides checking for paths in filenames provided during
        WordPerfect exits.  This rename facility is performed at the exit menu.
        Now, if you give a file a name the macro will check the supplied name
        for a path.  If no path is provided in the new name it is given the
        default path.  If a path is provided it is separated from the filename
        (the filename and path are now in separate variables). If the root
        directory is specified, the root directory of the default drive is used
        (this is currently defined by the macro as the root directory of drive
        C).  On blank files, WordPerfect has no method for determining a default
        drive.  However, it will use the default document directory for document
        storage.  Unfortunately, there's no direct way to get to that directory
        specification without first saving a file (without specifying a path
        during the save).  This isn't sufficient for file autoretrieve, however.
        Therefore, the default drive is specifically identified.  New names are
        now correctly identified, along with path names, during a WordPerfect
        exit for inclusion in the retrieve file data file.  Prior to this, the
        user supplied names weren't checked.  If you supplied no name, the file
        was stored on a default drive (whatever it was).  If you supplied a root
        directory, the root drive of whatever drive was used.  However, in this
        case, no drive name was supplied.  This made it difficult to
        autoretrieve some files. (Version 3.10a)

7 Oct1  Fixed a problem with exit ALL option.  Now all files are exited
        correctly.  The only difference between the exit ALL and the EXIT
        WordPerfect options is that the ALL option does not store file
        information on the files exited and leaves the user in WordPerfect,
        document #1. (Version 3.10b)

13 Oct1 If a user was exiting WordPerfect and accepted a file which was modified
        but which had no name ALTF would catch it. However, the filename
        wouldn't get recorded in the autoretrieve information file.  This
        problem was fixed. (Version 3.11)

27 Oct1 Modified the macro to rely on a routine which specifically handles the
        full path specification of a file during a file or WordPerfect exit.
        The functions which use this operation are exit ALL files or exit
        WordPerfect.  This macro, FN, is called from ALTX through the RENAME
        function.  See FN for a description of the full functionality. (Version
        3.12)

12 Nov1 The macro was modified to rely upon DP (Drives and Paths) to intialize
        the variables used by ALTX.  (Version 3.12a)

17 Nov1 Modified the macro to allow proper operation of a CANCEL while in a file
        rename situation during a WordPerfect exit.  The CANCEL action rewrites
        the EXIT menu after exiting the rename facility.  The file being renamed
        is reset to it's original name and all references to the "new" file name
        removed is from the system. (Version 3.12b)

19 Nov1 Modified the macro to rewrite the screen (and get rid of the Rename File
        instructions) at the conclusion of a file rename at the Exit WordPerfect
        menu (the menu which is displayed when the WordPerfect option is chose
        at the initial EXIT menu).  A test is now made on file names of three
        characters or less.  This test looks for and disallows filenames of the
        following type:  ":", "\", "A:", "A\", or "A:\". Other illegal filenames
        are, for the most part, caught during the exit procedure. It's the
        user's responsibilty to ensure the filenames are correctly specified.
        (Version 3.13)

21 Nov1 In a WordPerfect exit the Rename function wasn't working correctly with
        files which hadn't been named and an ACCEPT option was selected. Now,
        ALTX forces a file rename before the WordPerfect EXIT is performed.
        (Version 3.14)

22 Nov1 After a forced rename, the EXIT menu is returned to so the user has
        another chance at accepting or revising the filenames. (Version 3.14a)

22 Nov1 If both document screens were empty and the EXIT ALL option was chosen
        an EXIT WordPerfect would occur.  No longer...it works as intended
        (stays in WordPerfect). (Version 3.14b)

23 Nov1 The macro tries to insist you name a blank file before a save occurs.
        This happens when either of the document screens is non-blank. (Version
        3.14c)

23 Nov1 Minor change. When exiting WP51 the EXIT options were remaining on the
        screen while saving modified files. Now, those options are removed from
        the screen. (A Purely cosmetic change...) (Version 3.1d)

24 Nov1 Added a routine to prevent exiting WP51 before the autoretrieve
        information get saved. I discovered that if document #1 was blank and
        document #2 wasn't (or vice-versa), the EXIT macro would exit
        WordPerfect without getting a chance to save the autoretrieve
        information. (Version 3.1e)

24 Nov1 Made a minor change to allow checking for an existing file of the same
        name during a WP51 exit. This is important only with a file rename.
        (Version 3.1f)

1 Dec1  Initial version which updates the autoretrieve file. A maximum of four
        filenames are stored in the autoretrieve file.  Files with the same file
        specification have their cursor location information updated. Files with
        the same name but different path are considered "new" and are added to
        the autoretrieve file. New files are added to the bottom of the file and
        removed from the top of the file. The number of files indicator located
        within the AutoRetrieve file is also updated. (Version 4.00)

5 Dec1  Added handling for a file with 0 records and the handling for a non-
        existent autoretrieve file. (Version 4.01)

13 Dec1 Made a change in how an exit from document was performed.  If the file
        had no name and EXIT was chosen from the ALTF submenu (asking the user
        to provide a file name) the document might be exited.  Additionally, it
        the ALTX option chosen was "D" no document switch (from document screen
        1 to document screen 2, for instance) would occur. This was fixed.
        (Version 4.01a)

15 Dec1 A WordPerfect exit message is now displayed during the exit procedure.
        (Version 4.01b)

ALT-
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 3.10g)

CTRL A (ASCII)
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. Removed the message concerning the enter and cancel
        keys. (Version 1.2c)

5 Oct1  Added the ability to save as a generic wordprocessing file (with tabs)
        or as simple ASCII text (no tabs).  Note: indents are converted to tabs
        in the generic save. (Version 1.2d)

23 Nov1 If you want to save your ASCII file with the same name as the original
        document file you may now hit "=" at the filename request line followed
        by the enter key.  The "=" must be the ONLY character entered prior to
        hitting the enter key. This way you avoid alot of needless typing.
        (Version 1.2e)

26 Nov1 Modified macro to rely on DP for initialization and FN for providing a
        filename. This simplifies certain things in providing filenames. For
        instance, the user no longer needs to type the entire name, just modify
        the existing one. Additionally, if the user wants to use the original
        file's name for the ASCII file just hit the "=" and hit enter. Simple!
        NOTE: a file name is NOT a path name. The character "=" is NOT a valid
        filename. Don't use it as part of your filename. Made CTRL A a
        standalone macro called ASCII. Changed the keyboard definition, CTRL-A,
        to {CHAIN}ASCII~. This procedure transfers control to the ASCII.WPM
        macro. (Version 2.0)

11 Dec1 Minor change. When saving a file to a filename which already exists in
        the designated path the user is asked if he/she wants to replace the
        current file. Originally only a Yes or No response was allowed. Now, the
        user may also use the letter R (for REPLACE). (2.00a)

12 Dec1 Made some changes to allow detection of a filename which has a name in
        memory (but which isn't yet a WordPerfect System name).  This occurs
        ASCII is called after a file with no name has been given a name but
        which hasn't yet been saved to disk. The ASCII main menu was modified
        for additional clarity (less terse).  Added the option SAVE to
        supplement the ENTER key option. This provides a more visual clue as to
        what the user must do to save an ASCII file.  The menu now identifies
        Original and ASCII NAMES instead of FILES.  The menu options line now
        identifies to what those options refer (the ASCII file rather than the
        original). (Version 2.01)

14 Dec1 Hitting the EXIT key exits ASCII and executes the FILES (ALTF) macro.
        (Version 2.01a)

CTRL D
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 3.00b)

CTRL L (Letterhead)
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. If the macro is run on a non-empty document the cursor
        is moved to the end of the current document before any letter
        information (to, subject, from) is entered. (Version 2.7)

24 Oct1 Fixed a minor problem which prevented proper operation when chosing a
        mail stop for the TO: address. (Version 2.7a)

26 Oct1 Modified the menu presentation.  Added capability for five line
        addresses.  Macro now checks to see if the document is empty.  If empty
        the macro acts normally.  If the document isn't empty the macro puts the
        cursor at the end of the document and adds a hard page break.  This puts
        the cursor at the beginning of the new page. (Version 2.71)

CTRL M (MEMO)
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. If the macro is run on a non-empty document the cursor
        is moved to the end of the current document before any memorandum
        information is entered. (Version 2.7)

26 Oct1 Fixed a problem I thought fixed: the macro wouldn't end normally
        (required the user to hit another key...) (Version 2.71)

CTRL O  No changes since Sep 91

CTRL PgDn (RXMEM)
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 1.0c)

6 Oct1  Changed the variable used to grab memory variables to a less commonly
        used one.  This is normally not a problem but is in certain situations.
        (Version 1.0e)

CTRL S
23 Sep1 Modified main menu.  Shortened horizontal line in consideration for
        slower machines. (Version 1.30a)

Shift Enh Right Arrow
15 Nov1 This macro works by detecting a depressed shift key while the enhanced
        right arrow is pressed as well. This change detects use while in the TAB
        edit screen. (Version 2.03b)

Shift Enh Left Arrow
15 Nov1 This macro works by detecting a depressed shift key while the enhanced
        right arrow is pressed as well. This change detects use while in the TAB
        edit screen. (Version 2.01b)

CTRL Enh Left Arrow
15 Nov1 This change lets the CTRL Enh left arrow work while in the TAB edit
        screen. (Version 2.00b)

CTRL Enh Right Arrow
15 Nov1 This change lets the CTRL Enh right arrow work while in the TAB edit
        screen. (Version 3.01b)

ALT Enh Left Arrow
23 Nov1 This change lets the ALT Enh left arrow work while in the TAB edit
        screen. This change allows the cursor to move to the previous tab
        setting. (Version 2.01a)

ALT Enh Right Arrow
23 Nov1 This change lets the ALT Enh right arrow work while in the TAB edit
        screen. This change allows the cursor to move to the next tab setting.
        (Version 2.01a)

CTRL Del

ALT [   TRANSPOSE LEFT (chains to ALT])

ALT ]   TRANSPOSE RIGHT/LEFT

ALTKEY
14 Dec1 Added space bar to the options which'll exit the current menu/help
        screen and re-enter the HELP main menu.

CTRLKEY
14 Dec1 Added space bar to the options which'll exit the current menu/help
        screen and re-enter the HELP main menu.

DP
10 Nov1 NEW. This macro has NO user functionality.  It is called by either ALTD
        or ALTF. This is a central macro for all macros requiring basically the
        same menu structure. At this time that means both ALTD and ALTF.  A
        change to this menu macro (addition or deletion) is now reflected in
        both ALTD and ALTF without having to modify both. The user needs to
        modify ONLY this macro to provide the directories and/or drives
        necessary for his/her system. Options are now CASE SENSITIVE.  The
        UPPERCASE only option was removed to increase the number of user
        definable letter options. (Version 1.0)

12 Nov1 Fixed a problem with a misnamed subroutine call which prevented access
        to drives. Rewrote a routine which didn't seem to work on early model
        ATs (too long a test...options at the beginning of the test worked,
        those at the end didn't). Modified a routine to act as a variable
        intializer for calling macros. (Version 1.0a)

13 Nov1 Changed some path information for options to use the default Drive,
        WordPerfect directory and WordPerfect document variables identified by
        the initalization routine.  For those options which identify
        subdirectories off the WP51 directory or document directory (or the
        "default" drive) this "could" potentially save some work.  (Version
        1.0b)

14 Nov1 Added a TEST to determine whether the initialization routine has been
        run.  If so, initialization isn't performed again.  Without this test
        the file Path and Name variables are reset and, if reset, a file rename
        isn't possible. (Version 1.0c)

17 Nov1 Made an explicit test for what macro called this one to correctly set
        the second menu line (which identifies the current path or path
        specification). (Version 1.0d)

21 Nov1 Made changes to accommodate variables initialization for the EXIT macro
        (ALTX). (Version 1.0e)

24 Nov1 Minor changes to menus were made. (Version 1.0f)

26 Nov1 Made changes to accomodate the ASCII option for ALTF. (Version 1.0g)

12 Dec1 Made some menu initialization changes for calling macros. (Version 1.0h)

13 Dec1 Made a minor change to allow a "re-initialization" of a main menu
        variable used by ALTF after called by ALTX. (Version 1.0i)

ENV     No changes since 12 Oct 90

FN
26 Oct1 NEW.  This macro has NO user functionality.  It is called by ALTF and
        ALTX to manipulate path specifications during file renames. Added to
        allow a user, during a file rename, decent manipulation of the path
        specification (i.e. path and filename).  The user is presented with the
        full path specification during which characters are added, inserted, or
        replaced. The following functions are provided:

                HOME HOME removes the path specification from the cursor to the
                beginning
                HOME END removes the path specification from the cursor to the
                end
                HOME RIGHT ARROW moves to the end of the path specification
                HOME LEFT ARROW moves to the beginning of the path
                specification
                DEL removes the character at the cursor
                BACKSPACE removes the character before the cursor
                INSERT. Added characters shift characters to the right of the
                cursor right
                = resets to the original path specification
                / causes the designated file to NOT be stored (Macro must be
                called from ALTX)
        (Version 1.0)

3 Nov1  Added hooks to support ALTF's OTHER option. This option (OTHER) provides
        a path not provided by the ALTF file save menu. (Version 1.1a)

4 Nov1  ALT X menu wasn't being dealt with correctly.  This change fixes it.
        (Version 1.1b)

12 Nov1 Added a variable used by calling macros to detect a CANCEL and therefore
        act accordingly. (Version 1.1c)

19 Nov1 Added a help menu which is displayed when the OTHER option of ALTD,
        ALTF, or ALTX is requested. (Version 1.3a)

23 Nov1 Changed references to arrows in the menu to an actual arrow. Removed any
        references to enhanced keys. Added a menu description of the INS key.
        The INS option was always there, just wasn't mentioned in the menu.
        Added left and right tabs to the menu to go to path separator characters
        ("/", ":", and "."). Added a border around the menu. (Version 1.4)

24 Nov1 Minor changes.  During a file rename from ALTF the message "New Name"
        instead of "New Path" is displayed.  During an OTHER option from ALTD
        only the path is displayed instead of the full path specification.
        (Version 1.40a)

26 Nov1 Modified macro to allow use by CTRL A (ASCII). The "=" works differently
        with the ASCII macro. In this case, it only works at the end of the file
        name and nowhere else so that the user can override ASCIIs default
        filename extension used for ASCII (DOS) file names. (Version 1.41)

27 Nov1 Made some minor improvements to file specification handling. Home Del
        would delete the file name but leave the cursor in place (in the middle
        of nowhere apparently...). This was corrected. Hitting the delete key
        at the end of the file specification would cause an error which would
        return to the calling macro. The macro now correctly handles this
        condition.  Hitting delete on the first character of the file
        specification wouldn't delete the first character without moving the
        cursor right and then left again. It now works as it should. (Version
        1.41a)

27 Nov1 Made some minor changes to detect the caller and adjust the menu
        accordingly. An option available only at the exit WP menu was removed
        from display unless ALTX calls this macro directly. The END and HOME
        Left Arrow options were combined in the menu. (Version 1.41b)

12 Dec1 Made some minor changes to help menu displays of information (minor
        tweaks). (Version 1.41c)

SHFKEY
14 Dec1 Added space bar to the options which'll exit the current menu/help
        screen and re-enter the HELP main menu.

KNOWN Problem(s).
  A blocked word at the end of a document may include punctuation. Normally,
punctuation is not included when a word is blocked (except in blocking multiple
words).
