Lesson 3 - Lines And Boxes
Steps for building a form:
1.  Design your form on paper.
2.  Enter text onto blank form (Lesson 1)
3.  Add input fields to form (Lesson 2)
4.  Add borders to your form (Lesson 3)
 You are here  
5.  Add special printer control functions (Lesson 4)
You should proceed through these lessons in order.  If you make any mistakes  
just reload the form and begin editing again.
  Press PgDn
Drawing Lines
Move the cursor to the '1' below.  Press F3 twice.  Move the cursor to
the '2' below.  Press F4 twice.  Move the cursor to the '3' below.  Press 
F3, enter a 2, press F3 again.  Move the cursor to the '4' below.  Press  
F4 twice.
F3 marks the starting point of a line using the cursor position.  By
moving the cursor to a new position, either on the same line or column
and using F4, you draw a line.  Note that two line styles are supported.  
Now press F3, enter 3, and press F3 again.  Move to the other end of the  
line and press F4 twice.  This is how to erase lines.

Boxes
Move the cursor to the '1' below, press F3, enter 2, and press F3 again.  
Move the it to the '2' and press F4 twice.  Now move it to the '3' and
press F4 twice again.
Boxes are drawn instead of lines if the cursor is in a different row AND  
column while using F4 than it was when you used F3.  Note how the editor  
will attempt to connect all lines and boxes which meet, even those of
different styles.  To erase, press F3, enter 3, and press F3.  Then
move to the opposite corner of the box and press F4 twice.  Removal of
the remaining half box is left as an exercise.
  Press PgDn
The shifted function keys will type parts of boxes and lines.  To view
these press F1 (see SPECIAL BORDER CHARACTERS), then ESC to return here.  
You can draw a box using only the shift-function keys (but F3 and F4 are  
much faster).  Likewise, you can use the control-function keys to draw
double line boxes and lines.  The only item not provided by the function  
keys are crossing lines, '
' and '
'.  You must use the F2 menu and F10
to draw these characters (Lesson 4).
Using Special Attributes
Press F8.  Move the cursor to the '1' below, press F3, enter 1, and
press F3 again.  Move the cursor to the '2' below and press F4 twice.
Drawing a box or line always uses the current attribute.  Erase always
clears to the background portion of the current attribute.
  Press PgDn
Putting a Border Around Your Form
Use the HOME key to position the cursor to line 1, column 1.  Then use F3 
to mark the starting point.  Move the cursor to the last line and column  
of your form and use F4 to place a border around your form.  Make sure
you have no text on the first and last lines, or on the first and last
columns as these characters will be overwritten.
 End of Lesson 3 
ed when you're executing the form.
Use F2 to define other attributes.  Use F7 to switch to white characters  
on a black background, F8 to switch to black on white, and F9 to switch
to the attribute defined by F2 menu.  The top line will show what is the  
current attribute:
Current Attr: 70
