CREATING (EDITING) A DOCUMENT:
At the A:\> prompt (or the C: prompt) type in WP followed by the title
of a new or existing document and press Enter. The title is of the
form: Filename.ext (up to 8 letters-no spaces- followed by an optional
period and an optional extension of up to 3 letters.)
Type in the text of the document. Do NOT press ENTER until you are at
the end of a paragraph. Let wordwrap do the line breaks for you. Use
the cursor keys to move around and make corrections. Use the DEL key or
BkSpc to delete characters.
SAVING THE DOCUMENT:
Press F10 to save the document and continue typing.
PRINTING: Press Shift-F7. At the prompt, "Print options:" type in T3L7
and press Enter. (Be sure the printer is on and all lights on it are
on.) (In case of an error, PRESS ESC repeatedly to stop the printer.)
QUITTING: Press F7 and either X or Q.

IF a paragraph becomes too ragged due to deletions and additions, put
the cursor at the start of the paragraph and press ^B (reformat command).
TO CENTER a line, just type in the line and press Shift F6.
TO MAKE some Printed characters BOLD or UNDERLINED, press F6 or F8 to
start the bold or underlining. Press F6 or F8 where you want the text
to return to normal. (Bold and Underlines only show up on the printer
not on the screen.)
LEAVE DOUBLE-SPACING for the printing part. Just add a "D" to the Print
Options.
FOR MORE COMMANDS, press Ctrl J. Then press A, E, O, P, Q, K, J to see
all the different commands you may use in WP-LITE. (As a matter of
fact, you may prefer these commands to the ones in WP-LITE. If so,
start editing with the command VDE rather than WP.)
