>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<< 18 February 1989 version 1.00
Welcome to the first release of EagleWord. EagleWord unlike
it's little brother Eagledit, is a full blown word processor. Based
heavily upon Borland's (tm) Turbo Pascal Editor ToolBox. Many
modifications were made to make EagleWord even better than the kit
that comes with the ToolBox. Some of the major features of
EagleWord are:
** Use of all available memory for text editing !!
With MS-DOS 3.3 and Turbo Lightning loaded as a TSR, I have been
able to edit a 370k text file. (Those systems with EMM should be
able to edit even larger files.)
** Spell checker and Thesaurus support via Borland's (tm) Turbo
Lighning Spell checker. (Transparent to the user)
** On-line Help. Help with all EagleWord commands is available via
the F1 Key.
** Macros support - Load, Store, Playback, Record, and Built-in
Macro editor.
** Mouse support - via an external menu driver that should be loaded
before EagleWord. Use your Mouse Menu command to load. Both
MicroSoft (tm) Mouse and Logitech (tm) Mouse are supported.
** Built-in Shell - Drop to DOS while EagleWord is still loaded.
** Multiple Windows - Open up to 6 different windows/files and copy,
move text between them. Have all 6 on screen or Zoom between
them, even Resize those open.
** System Status - Simple System information is available at all
times to keep you abreast of available memory, disk space and
the status of your working file. (# of words, lines, bytes, pages)
** Text Block commands - Search & Replace - Import/Export text
** Font support - (Bold, Double, Underscore, Superscript, Subscript,
Compressed, and Italic)
** Several Printers Supported - Okidata, Epson, IBM, HPlaser.
Provisions included for custom printer definition.
** Set right margin up to 999 !! (Great for programmers !)
** User defined Colors & Keystroke definitions - Colors can be setup
and saved. Keystroke definitions can be changed to the users
liking via the EWKEY.EXE utility program. All changes are
recorded and appropriate entries made to the on-line help file so
that keystroke definitions match the on-line help.
** Special Video Support - Turn CGA snow checking on/off. And EGA
43/50 line support is provided.

>>> File Menu Commands: ┬─────────────┬
│ Open.. │
│ Close │
│ Save │
│ Write to.. │
│ Print.. │
│ Get info │
│ Quit │
└─────────────┘
FILE OPEN
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlA>
Alternate keystrokes: <ShiftF3>
A prompt box will ask for the name of a new file to read. If
another file is already being edited, the current window
will be split in half, and the new file will be read into
the new window.
By specifying a file name that matches an existing window,
you may look at two regions of the same file. Changes made
in one window will affect all other windows which contain
the same file.
When prompted for a file name, you may enter DOS wildcards
or the name of another drive or subdirectory. In this case,
another window will display the names of all matching files.
You can select from this list by using the cursor keypad, or
by pressing the first letter of the filename in which you
are interested.
By entering an empty line for the file name, you can edit a
file without specifying a name for it. A name can be
specified later when you want to write it out to disk.
FILE CLOSE
Keystroke sequence: <F9>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
The current text window will be cleared. If it has been
modified since being saved to disk, you will be given the
opportunity to save it. The window will then be closed. If
the window is the only one on the screen, you will return to
the EagleWord menu system.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
SAVE AND CONTINUE EDIT
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlK><CtrlS>
Alternate keystrokes: <F2>
The contents of the current window will be saved to disk,
using a file name the same as when the file was first read.
If the file has not been named, a prompt box will ask for a
new name. If the disk file already exists, a backup copy
will be made before overwriting the existing version. The
cursor will remain in place after the file is written to
disk.
WRITE TO FILE
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlK><CtrlN>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
This command will store all text in the current window to
any file that you name. When you are editing in a window
that has not previously been named, you can use this command
to assign a name to the window. Using it in an already-named
window will cause the name of that window, and all other
windows sharing the same text stream, to be updated to the
new name.
PRINT FILE
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlK><CtrlP>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
Any text file can be printed from within EagleWord. Files
formatted with EagleWord's page layout commands and font
controls will print with multiple fonts, headers, footers,
and page breaks.
Do not press <Enter> on the first menu selection, Print
file now, until the other items in the box have been set to
your satisfaction. Selecting the first item starts the print
job.
After you select the second menu item, Name of file, a
prompt box will request entry of the name of the file to
print. When prompted for a file name, you may enter DOS
wildcards or the name of another drive or subdirectory. In
this case, another window will display the names of all
matching files. You can select from this list by using the
cursor keypad, or by pressing the first letter of the
filename in which you are interested.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
If you wish to print a file that is currently loaded in
memory, be sure to save any recent changes to disk before
trying to print it. If you attempt to print a file that has
unsaved changes, EagleWord will produce an error message.
Set Auto formatting OFF if you wish to have EagleWord
ignore formatting commands (@ commands) in your text. In
this case, text will print continuously with no form feeds
or page breaks. Control codes embedded in the text will be
written to the output without interpretation.
By default, EagleWord prints all pages of the document. You
can set starting and stopping pages if desired.
Select from any of the available printer definition files
(default extension .PDF) to find one that is appropriate for
your printer. You can change to another file and use
Options Save setup to regularly use that file.
You can also choose between sending the printed output to
LPT1, LPT2, or to a file. LPT1 and LPT2 refer to the
computer port where your printer is attached. If the printer
is attached to a serial port, you must use the DOS MODE
command in order to assign the serial port to one of the
print devices LPT1 or LPT2. Your choice between LPT1 and
LPT2 will be saved with EagleWord when you Save Setup.
When output is printed to a file, all control codes are
written out just as when they are printed. In this case, you
must also specify the name of the output file using the
prompt window.
Set Manual paper feed ON if you wish to have EagleWord
prompt you to insert a new sheet of paper after each page.
This choice is also stored as part of the printer definition
file for your selected printer.
Set Use formfeeds ON if your printer accepts ASCII
character #12 to eject each page. Otherwise, EagleWord will
fill out the end of each page with blank lines.
After making all selections, move the menu bar to the Print
file now item and press <Enter>. If you decide not to
print, just press <Esc>. Printing occurs as a background
task. You can continue editing with minimal loss of
performance while the print job continues.
To stop a print job at any time, execute the Print File
command sequence. EagleWord will confirm whether you want to
stop the print job.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
PRINTER DEFINITIONS
You can edit and store printer definitions from within
EagleWord, using the File Print menu.
Select a printer definition file (default extension .PDF)
using the Which printer menu item. EagleWord will load
this printer file into memory.
Any of the command sequences that control various printer
fonts can be edited using the Edit printer codes menu
selection. Each font is associated with two strings - one to
turn the font ON, and another to turn it OFF.
When you choose a sequence to edit, it appears in another
window. It can be edited using the cursor keys, and the
<Del> or <Backspace> keys. Most characters you type will
be inserted literally into the string. <CtrlBksp> will
delete the existing string. <Enter> will end the session
in the string editor. In case you need to enter any of these
special keys as part of the control string, press the
<ScrollLock> key to enter Literal mode. In this mode, all
keystrokes will be inserted into the string without further
interpretation.
The printer definition currently held in memory can be
stored to a disk file using the Save printer setup menu
item. EagleWord stores the printer command sequences for all
fonts, as well as the default settings for manual paper feed
and formfeeds, when you save the setup.
EagleWord will prompt for a file name when you decide to
store the current definition. The default extension for
printer definitions is .PDF.

GET INFORMATION
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlJ><CtrlV>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
Various facts about EagleWord and the current file are
displayed. Information shown includes the complete path name
of the current file; its size in bytes, words, lines, and
pages; whether it has been modified since last disk save;
the time and date; available RAM and disk space; the current
directory; and the DOS and EagleWord version numbers.
Some of the statistics that EagleWord presents take a while
to compute. By pressing any key while the Get Info window is
being updated, you can "short-circuit" the computation of
some items.
FILE QUIT
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlK><CtrlQ>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
The editing session will end and you will return to DOS. If
any windows have been modified, prompt boxes will appear and
you will be given the opportunity to save each modified
file. If you type <Esc> at any of the prompt boxes, the
FILE QUIT command will be interrupted and you will return to
the current text window.

└──────────────────┘
FORMAT PARAGRAPH
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlB>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
Format paragraph is available only when Word Wrap mode is
active. Paragraph reformatting will move words so that lines
are as full as possible within, but not exceeding, the
current left and right margins. If Justify mode is active,
the lines will also be evenly filled with spaces so that the
rightmost word ends on the right margin.
The paragraph reformat is terminated when a blank line, or a
line beginning with a format character (@), is reached.
SET TEMPORARY MARGIN
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlG>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
The current left margin will be moved to the right by one
tab stop. This is useful in making indented lists. The
temporary margin will remain in force until you leave the
current paragraph.
The temporary margin is indicated by a right pointing arrow
on the window tab display.
MARGIN RELEASE
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlX>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
Setting Margin Release ON allows you to type beyond the left
and right margins while Word Wrap mode is active. Margin
release remains effective until the cursor is moved to
another line. It can also be toggled off at any time.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
SELECT BOLD
Keystroke sequence: <AltB>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
If a block is marked and visible, EagleWord will convert the
block to bold typeface. It does so by automatically placing
the Toggle Bold control character (<CtrlB>) at the
beginning and end of the block.
If no block is marked, EagleWord will place a pair of print
control characters at the current cursor position, and
position the cursor between the two. Thus, while the cursor
remains between the control characters, newly entered text
will be in the selected typeface.
SELECT DOUBLESTRIKE
Keystroke sequence: <AltD>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
If a block is marked and visible, EagleWord will convert the
block to double-strike typeface. It does so by automatically
placing the Toggle Double-strike control character
(<CtrlD>) at the beginning and end of the block.
If no block is marked, EagleWord will place a pair of print
control characters at the current cursor position, and
position the cursor between the two. Thus, while the cursor
remains between the control characters, newly entered text
will be in the selected typeface.
SELECT UNDERSCORE
Keystroke sequence: <AltS>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
If a block is marked and visible, EagleWord will convert the
block to underscore typeface. It does so by automatically
placing the Toggle Underscore control character (<CtrlS>)
at the beginning and end of the block.
If no block is marked, EagleWord will place a pair of print
control characters at the current cursor position, and
position the cursor between the two. Thus, while the cursor
remains between the control characters, newly entered text
will be in the selected typeface.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
SELECT SUPERSCRIPT
Keystroke sequence: <AltH>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
If a block is marked and visible, EagleWord will convert the
block to superscript typeface. It does so by automatically
placing the Toggle Superscript control character (<CtrlT>)
at the beginning and end of the block.
If no block is marked, EagleWord will place a pair of print
control characters at the current cursor position, and
position the cursor between the two. Thus, while the cursor
remains between the control characters, newly entered text
will be in the selected typeface.
CENTER LINE
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlC>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
The current line will be centered between the left and right
margins. This command is active only when Word Wrap mode is
on.
SET MARKER
This command stores a record of the current cursor position
to which you can easily return later. EagleWord supports up
to ten text markers, which are labeled with the numbers 0-9
when they are placed in the text. Shortcut commands for
using each of the ten markers are presented on a following
screen.
The text marker display writes over the character where it
is placed. It does not affect the actual text, but merely
hides it.
When a marker is set from the menu system, another menu will
appear showing which markers are already in use. Redefining
an existing marker erases the previously stored position.
Defining a marker at the same position where it is currently
located has the effect of erasing it.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
The following commands will set any of the markers without
using a menu.
Marker 0 Main: <CtrlK>0 Alternate: (None)
Marker 1 Main: <CtrlK>1 Alternate: (None)

Marker 8 Main: <CtrlK>8 Alternate: (None)
Marker 9 Main: <CtrlK>9 Alternate: (None)
RESTORE LINE
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlQ><CtrlL>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
The current line of text will be restored to its appearance
just prior to when the cursor was moved onto the line. The
cursor position will also be restored to the value when it
entered the line.
UNDO LAST DELETION
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlQ><CtrlU>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
The line of text most recently deleted will be inserted into
the current text stream at the cursor position. Note that
this applies only to complete lines of text, and not to
character or word deletions. By default, 20 lines of deleted
text are stored for possible undeletion. The undo limit can
be adjusted via a Setup command.

└─────────────────────┘
SET LEFT MARGIN
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlL>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
A prompt box will ask for a new value for the left margin.
Entering an empty prompt string will set the left margin to
the current cursor column.
When Word Wrap mode is active, the left margin controls the
leftmost position where text may be entered. The left margin
also controls the operation of the paragraph formatting
command.
The left and right margins can be made visible by toggling
the Tab Line Display.
Print formatting commands require that the format character
(@) be located in column 1 even if the left margin is set to
a number greater than one. To achieve this, enter the format
command starting at the left margin, move the cursor to
column 1 with the Left of Line command, and delete the
intervening spaces via Delete Word. Alternatively, activate
the Margin Release command while the format command is
entered.
SET RIGHT MARGIN
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlR>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
A prompt box will ask for a new value for the right margin.
Entering an empty prompt string will set the right margin to
the current cursor column. The right margin is used only
when Word Wrap mode is active. When that is so, text entered
in a column beyond the right margin will automatically be
wrapped to the next line. Paragraph formatting will move
words so that lines are as full as possible within, but not
exceeding, the right margin.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
SET TOP MARGIN
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
This specifies the number of lines to leave blank at the top
of each page during printing or pagination of the file in
the current window. The top margin is a default value that
will be overridden by EagleWord format (@) commands embedded
in the text. The value you specify in the prompt box is not
stored in the document file. It is a default value that
exists only while the file is being edited.
SET BOTTOM MARGIN
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
This specifies the number of lines to leave blank at the
bottom of each page during printing or pagination of the
file in the current window. The bottom margin is a default
value that will be overridden by EagleWord format (@)
commands embedded in the text. The value you specify in the
prompt box is not stored in the document file. It is a
default value that exists only while the file is being
edited.
SET PAGE LENGTH
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
This specifies the total number of lines on each page during
printing or pagination of the file in the current window.
The page length is a default value that will be overridden
by EagleWord format (@) commands embedded in the text. The
value you specify in the prompt box is not stored in the
document file. It is a default value that exists only while
the file is being edited.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
TOGGLE JUSTIFY
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlJ>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
When Justify is active, word wrap and paragraph reformat
operations will cause each line to be filled in with spaces
such that the rightmost non-blank character is exactly on
the right margin.
By toggling Justify off, and reformatting lines or
paragraphs, the additional blanks will be automatically
removed from the text. Note that blanks manually inserted
(via the Tab command, etc.) will also be removed, unless the
Compress Wrap mode is turned off.
EagleWord does not differentiate between "soft" blanks added
during justification and "hard" blanks manually entered.
However, the character <CtrlO> may be used in place of a
normal blank when non-changing spaces are desired. The
<CtrlO> will be printed as a normal space. To enter a
<CtrlO> in the text stream, press <CtrlP><CtrlO>.
TOGGLE WORD WRAP
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlW>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
When Word Wrap mode is active, paragraph reformatting and
automatic word wrap are available. Otherwise, left and right
margin settings are ignored, and text may be entered in any
column up to the maximum line length.
TOGGLE AUTOINDENT MODE
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlQ><CtrlI>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
When autoindent mode is active and the <Enter> key is
pressed, the new line of text will be indented the same
number of spaces as the line immediately above it. The
setting of this toggle also affects the operation of the
paragraph reformatting command.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
TOGGLE INSERT MODE
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlV>
Alternate keystrokes: <Ins>
When insert mode is active, newly typed text is inserted
into the current text line, pushing characters to the right
of the cursor aside to make room. When insert mode is off,
newly typed text overwrites existing text. Many commands,
such as block copy and insert line, operate in insert mode
independent of the setting of this toggle.
TOGGLE PAGE BREAKS
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlB>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
When pagination is activated, the left two columns of the
text window will be devoted to showing page breaks. The
characters »» in those columns indicate that the
corresponding line is the first printing text line on its
page.
In addition, the status line for the window will indicate
what page number the cursor is on. The Jump to Page command
is available only when pagination is activated.
EagleWord calculates page numbers while it is waiting for
you to enter keystrokes. As a result, if you enter new text
it may take a short period of time before the page break
markers are redrawn at their new positions.
Although the page breaks displayed on screen correspond to
those in a printout of the document, EagleWord does not
store any special characters in the disk file. Page breaks
are recomputed each time the file is read into EagleWord.
Pagination can be precisely controlled via the formatting
commands. See the help section for File Print Formatting.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
TOGGLE WRAP COMPRESSION
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
By default, EagleWord compresses extra spaces out of any
line before it is wrapped. This feature is required in order
to "unjustify" text that has previously been right
justified. However, in some cases the compression will
remove desired spaces, as in the case of aligned columns of
figures.
When this toggle is OFF, extra spaces will not be removed
from lines being wrapped. Wrap compression is saved as a
EagleWord Default.
SET TABS
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlI>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
The tab settings will be initialized based on the contents
of the current line of text. The start of each
blank-delimited word will set a tab at that column. Any
other tabs will be cleared. By using this command in concert
with the Put Tabs command, you can store a custom tab line
as part of a document and easily use it later.
You can return to the default evenly spaced tabs by
activating the Options Tabs Restore even menu selections.
PUT TABS
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
The tab settings are stored into the current window as a
formatted text line. The line begins with the EagleWord
formatting character (@), and will be ignored during
printing. Use this command in concert with the Set tabs
command to store a custom tab line as part of a document for
later use.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
RESTORE EVEN TABS
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
Tabs will be set on an even spacing as determined by the
current default tab spacing. Any other tab settings will be
cleared.
EDIT TABS
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlE>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
Tab positions can be interactively edited using this
command. The cursor will be moved to the current window's
tab line display. Use the cursor keys or the tab key to move
along the tab line. Pressing the space bar will toggle a tab
setting on or off, pressing the <Ins> key will add a tab,
pressing the <Del> key will delete a tab at the cursor
position. Press <Enter> when editing is complete, or
<Esc> to undo any changes made.
DISPLAY TABS
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlT>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
Toggling Display Tabs ON reserves one line of the current
window for display of tab settings and margins. The tabs and
margins can be active whether or not the tab line is
visible.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
TOGGLE FIXED TABS
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlF>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
When fixed tabs are ON, tab positions are taken from a table
of columns that you can set to even spacing or customize
through various tab commands. When fixed tabs are OFF, tab
positions are based on the contents of the text surrounding
the current line, just like the Turbo Pascal editor.
SET TAB SIZE
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
By default, a tab is placed after every eight columns of
text. This tab size is also used when files containing tabs
are read into EagleWord. Change the tab size and use the
Restore even command to initialize a different set of
regularly spaced tabs.
SET HOME DIRECTORY
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
EagleWord uses several files in its operation. These contain
the current printer definition, default macros, and this
help file. In order to run EagleWord from a drive or
directory other than where these files are located, you will
need to set up a Home Directory. The home directory
specifies the location of the optional EagleWord support
files on your system.
The following files should be kept in that directory:
EW.HLP EW.MAC *.PDF
EagleWord will operate without the use of these files, but
in that case certain program features will not be available.
After the home directory is set, it can be saved with
EagleWord's Save Setup command.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
SET FILE EXTENSION
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
If you edit many files with the same extension, such as
.DOC, you should enter that value for the default extension.
EagleWord will automatically supply the default extension
whenever you respond to a filename prompt without entering
an extension. The extension you enter should not include a
period or any DOS wildcards, and is limited to three
characters.
TOGGLE TAB EXPANSION
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
When tab expansion is ON, any tabs encountered upon read-in
of a file are expanded into spaces, using a tab spacing that
you specify. If tab expansion is OFF, EagleWord leaves the
tabs intact. However, EagleWord does not expand tabs as it
displays them, so these will be displayed on the screen as
I.
TOGGLE TAB WRITING
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
By default, EagleWord does not write tab characters in files
saved from the editor. If Tab Writing is activated,
EagleWord will translate sequences of spaces to tabs in
order to save disk space for the output file. Tabs are
computed using the fixed spacing currently set for fixed
tabs. Multiple spaces found within pairs of single or double
quotes (as used in Pascal or C source code) will not be
converted to tabs.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
TOGGLE HI-BIT STRIP
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
When Hi-bit strip is ON, the most significant bit of each
character read from the disk will be set to zero. This is
useful when reading in files previously generated in
WordStar document mode. In addition, "dot commands" used for
WordStar document formatting will be changed to EagleWord's
format character (@). Note that stripping the high bit will
also affect any usage of the IBM extended ASCII character
set, such as the line drawing characters.
SET UNDO LIMIT
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
This specifies the maximum number of lines of deleted text
that will be stored in the Undo buffer. If Undo limit is 10,
and you delete 15 lines, the first five lines deleted will
be lost. Whenever lines are Undeleted, that space is
recovered for the undo buffer to reuse.
TOGGLE SNOW CONTROL
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
When Snow Control is ON, EagleWord avoids the screen
interference patterns called "snow" that are produced by
certain display adapters, notably the IBM Color Graphics
Adapter. For other color adapters, the Snow Control can be
turned off. This improves screen updating performance
considerably.
TOGGLE BLOCK CURSOR
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
EagleWord offers a choice between a blinking hardware cursor
and a solid unblinking cursor. The color of the block cursor
can be set via the Options Colors menu.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
TOGGLE 43 LINE MODE
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
On computers equipped with an Enhanced Graphics Adapter,
EagleWord can display 43 lines on the screen. Toggle this
option ON if a longer text display is desired.
TOGGLE FONT DISPLAY
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlO><CtrlD>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
When Font Display is enabled, print formatting commands that
control font selections will not be displayed on-screen.
Instead the marked text will be displayed in a color or
attribute corresponding to the font. This "what you see is
what you get" mode allows more accurate alignment of tables,
and avoids multiple print cycles to correct formatting
commands.
The screen colors for each font may be adjusted on the
Options Colors menu.
When font display is enabled, the control characters that
select the fonts are not visible. However, the cursor can be
positioned over the control character, and it can be deleted
if desired. The EagleWord hardware cursor grows to a large
block when it is positioned over the control character. The
value of the control character will be displayed at the
right hand edge of the window status line when the cursor is
positioned over it.
EagleWord computes the display of on-screen fonts while it
is waiting for you to enter keystrokes. As a result, if you
enter new text it may take a short period of time before
control characters disappear and fonts are drawn in their
final colors.
TOGGLE KEY HELP
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlJ><CtrlK>
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
When Key Help is ON, EagleWord will display the command
sequences that correspond to each menu selection while you
are browsing through the menu system. This can serve to
familiarize you with the quick keystrokes and speed up your
editing.
>>>> EagleWord v1.00 <<<<
TOGGLE INITIAL ZOOM STATE
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
The state of this toggle determines EagleWord's default
behavior when more than one window is on the screen. When
Initial Zoom State is OFF, multiple windows will appear
simultaneously on the screen, that is, they will not be
zoomed.
When Initial Zoom State is ON, multiple windows will be
zoomed. The last file opened will be visible on the screen,
and others will be hidden behind it.
Initial Zoom State is saved as a EagleWord default.
The normal zoom window command may be used at any time,
regardless of Initial Zoom State.
SET COLORS
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
All of the editor colors can be customized to your liking.
Independent color settings are available for normal text,
block marked text, window status lines, the prompt line at
the top of the screen, text in menus and prompt boxes, menu
frames, the highlighted character by which each menu item
may be selected, the currently selected menu item, the block
cursor (when active), and each of the five selectable fonts.
The colors that you select are saved with EagleWord when you
execute the Options Save setup command.
SAVE SETUP
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)

SPELL CHECK
Keystroke sequence: <CtrlJ><CtrlS>
Alternate keystrokes: <AltF10>
In combination with Turbo Lightning, Borland's RAM resident
spelling checker and thesaurus, EagleWord will spell-check
any of your documents. Lightning must be installed, or an
error will occur.
EagleWord checks the document in the current screen window.
By default, checking proceeds from the current cursor
position to the end of the file. If a block is marked and
visible, only that block will be checked.
EagleWord contains a small built-in dictionary of the 500
most commonly used English words. This dictionary is kept in
memory at all times in order to accelerate the checking
process.
Once the operation begins, EagleWord keeps you advised of
its progress on the status line. The line and column
counters tell you what part of the document is being
checked, as does the percentage indicator. These are updated
each time a new word is checked.
When Lightning finds a word that it does not recognize, the
screen will be updated to highlight the word, and a popup
menu will ask you to select an option. Select by moving the
bar and pressing <Enter> or by pressing the first
character of any of the options:
Skip once
Ignore the spelling of this word in only this
one instance.
Ignore for this document
Ignore the spelling of this word for the
duration of the check.

A prompt box will appear to allow interactive
editing of the word. Press <Enter> to accept,
or <Esc> to return to the previous menu. You
may use Lightning's interactive modes at this
time. EagleWord will recheck the word after
you finish editing it.
Mark with "~"
Place a tilde in front of the word. After
the document has been checked, you can use
the Find Pattern command to locate the marked
words.
Add to dictionary
Add the word to Lightning's auxiliary
dictionary (usually AUXI.DIC). A secondary
menu of case selections will appear. Press
<Esc> to return to the previous menu, or
<Enter> to add to the dictionary.
Batch mark rest of document
Cancel the interactive mode normally used
for spell-checking. From this point on, all
unrecognized words are marked with tildes
(~).
A spell-checking operation may be stopped by pressing
<Esc> at the corrections menu (once a misspelling is
found) or by pressing any key while a file is being checked.
In the latter case, a prompt box will be displayed, asking if you want
to stop. Press Y to stop, N to continue.
LOAD MACROS FROM DISK
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
A previously stored file of EagleWord keyboard macros is
loaded into memory. The macro file is a binary file in a
special format used by EagleWord. Macros may be recorded,

over the scrap macro. The current scrap macro can be played
back once or many times using other macro commands.
EDIT MACRO
Keystroke sequence: (None)
Alternate keystrokes: (None)
Macros recorded within EagleWord can be edited on a
character by character basis using the built-in macro
editor.
First, a prompt box will ask for a new name for the macro,
which you can accept as is, or change.
The macro will appear in another window. It can be edited
using the cursor keys, and the <Del> or <Backspace>
keys. Most characters you type will be inserted literally
