     This is Turbo Script (Release 2.0), originally developed for the IBM      
PCjr by Keving Menningen. This Release was written for the IBM PCs and         
its compatible micro-computers. This version, written by Tim Conner, utilized  
the maximum amount of Turbo Pascal's memory allocation.

The following list describes the usage of the ten function keys:               
                                                                               
    F1 - Help.  Displays a list of all the commands and editing keywords       
         that apply to the processor (i.e. - this help text file).             
                                                                               
    F2 - Search / Replace.  Allows you to search and/or replace any string     
         embedded within the text.  It is menu driven, and basically self-     
         explanatory.  It should be noted, though, that pressing Esc at any    
         time during this function will end the search or replace session.     
                                                                               
    F3 - Tab Menu.  Allows you to set, clear or purge (Clear all tabs) the     
         tab settings.  If you choose set, a tab will be set at the position   
         of the cursor at the time you pressed F3.  If you choose clear, the   
         tab position(if any) at the cursor when you pressed F3 will be        
         cleared.  Purge will clear all tab stops.                             
                                                                               
    F4 - Title.  Marks that line so that when the file is printed, you will    
         be prompted for a title, and it will be made boldface and double      
         width.  Erase this function if you have a letter quality printer.     
                                                                               

                                                                               
    F5 - DOS menu.  Allows you to print a directory of the disk, delete files, 
         rename files, copy files, and exit to DOS.                            

    F6 - InsLine.  This function will insert a single line at the cursor       
         position.  All the lines below it on the screen will be scrolled      
         downward.                 

    F7 - DelLine.  This function will delete the line at the cursor position.  
         All the lines below that line will be scrolled up a line.             

    F8 - Print.  Prints the current file on the LST: device. It is menu driven 
         and you may set the top, left and right margins.  Any command code
         that does not work on your printer you may delete or change to your
         needs.   

                                                                               
                                                                               
                                                                               
    F9 - Load.  Loads the file under the name given.  The name is entered by
         a unique subroutine that works in a way different from normal input.
         It gives you eight dashes, a period, and three more dashes.  When
         you press any key, the character that was entered fills one of the
         dashes, in succession.  If you press the space bar, the cursor is
         moved to the beginning of the extension part, and all spaces between
         are deleted.  PLEASE avoid using an '-' within your filename,      
         as it tells the subroutine to delete spaces in your filename.     
         The current file is erased and replaced by the new one.           

   F10 - Save.  Saves the current file under the name given.  The name is
         entered by the same method as Load.
                                                                               
 Alt-A - Enter ASCII character.  This subprogram will ask you for an ASCII     
         number and the number of times to repeat that character.  The string  
         is then printed.                                                      
                                                                               
                                                                               
                                                                               
                                                                               
     There are also some embedded text commands that you may find useful.      
These commands and their meanings follow:                                    
                                                                               
     '\' - Starts or stops underlining.  This or any other symbol does not     
           take up any space on the printed line, so that you can underline    
           portions of words.                                                  
                                                                               
     '~' - Starts superscript mode.  All numbers following immediately after   
           this symbol are printed in a superscript mode.                      
                                                                               
     '|' - Starts subscript mode.  Same as superscript, except that all        
           numbers following the symbol are printed in subscript mode.         
                                                                               
                                                                               
   Alt-I - Starts italic printing.  Works just like other commands.  The first 
           press starts italic, the next one stops.  To provide tangible       
           evidence that you did press Alt-I, a '«' will be printed at the     
           location where started italic mode and a '»' will be printed where  
           italic mode was ended.                                              
                                                                               
                                                                               
   Alt-B - Starts boldface printing.  Just like italic printing except the     
           symbol that will be printed is a '▐' to start printing and a '▌' to 
           stop printing in boldface.  Of course, this will not work if you    
           select the Boldface option on the Print Menu (F8).                  
                                                                               
     Examples:                                                                 
                                                                               
     This word will be \underlined\.                                           
     The number '2' will be superscripted~2.                                   
     The number '125' will be subscripted~125.                                 
     This word will be printed in «italic».                                    
     This word will be printed in ▐boldface▌.
