@84

&
TOGGLE MACRO RECORD

    Keystroke sequence:   84
)    Alternate keystrokes: 84

Any keystrokes entered after this command is
activated are stored within a keyboard macro,
which may be edited and later played back within
SageWords. To stop macro recording, enter this
command a second time. A prompt box will ask for
which of the ten macros should store the newly
recorded one, and for a descriptive name for the
macro.

Each macro can hold up to 255 keystrokes. Macros
can play back other macros. Macros are played
back by pressing one of the installed keystroke
combinations, or by choosing the 
SageWords Macro
Playback option from the menu system.
]

One of the macros is somewhat special. This
macro is called the "scrap". Whenever a new macro
is recorded, it writes over the scrap macro. The
current scrap macro can be played back once or
many times using other macro commands.
@104

&
GET INFORMATION

    Keystroke sequence:   104
)    Alternate keystrokes: 104

Various facts about SageWords 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 SageWords
version numbers.

Some of the statistics that SageWords 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.
@106

&
TOGGLE INSERT MODE

    Keystroke sequence:   106
)    Alternate keystrokes: 106

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.
@107

&
TOGGLE AUTOINDENT MODE

    Keystroke sequence:   107
)    Alternate keystrokes: 107

When autoindent mode is active and the <Enter>

SET RIGHT MARGIN

    Keystroke sequence:   111
)    Alternate keystrokes: 111

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.
@112

&
FORMAT PARAGRAPH

    Keystroke sequence:   112
)    Alternate keystrokes: 112

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.
@113

&
TOGGLE WORD WRAP

    Keystroke sequence:   113
)    Alternate keystrokes: 113

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.
@114

&
SET LEFT MARGIN

    Keystroke sequence:   114
)    Alternate keystrokes: 114

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.
@115

&
DISPLAY TABS

    Keystroke sequence:   115
)    Alternate keystrokes: 115

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.
@116

&
INSERT UNDO BUFFER

    Keystroke sequence:   116
)    Alternate keystrokes: 116

The entire contents of the undo buffer are
inserted into the current text stream, prior to
the current line. This empties the undo buffer,
that is, the operation can be used only once for
any set of deletions.
@117

&
TOGGLE JUSTIFY

    Keystroke sequence:   117
)    Alternate keystrokes: 117

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.

SageWords 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 25<CtrlO>.
@118

&
TOGGLE PAGE BREAKS

    Keystroke sequence:   118
)    Alternate keystrokes: 118

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.
]

SageWords 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, SageWords does not store any special
characters in the disk file. Page breaks are
recomputed each time the file is read into
SageWords.

Pagination can be precisely controlled via the
formatting commands. See the help section for
File Print Formatting.
@119

&
TOGGLE FONT DISPLAY

    Keystroke sequence:   119
)    Alternate keystrokes: 119

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 SageWords 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.

SageWords 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.
@120

&
CENTER LINE

    Keystroke sequence:   120
)    Alternate keystrokes: 120

The current line will be centered between the
left and right margins. This command is active

SET COLORS

    Keystroke sequence:   121
)    Alternate keystrokes: 121

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
SageWords when you execute the 
Options Save
setup command.
@122

&
SAVE SETUP

    Keystroke sequence:   122
)    Alternate keystrokes: 122

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

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.

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,
SageWords will produce an error message.

Set 
Auto formatting OFF if you wish to have
SageWords 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, SageWords 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 SageWords 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
SageWords 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,
SageWords 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. SageWords will
confirm whether you want to stop the print job.

PRINTER DEFINITIONS

You can edit and store printer definitions from
within SageWords, using the 
File Print menu.

Select a printer definition file (default
extension .PDF) using the 
Which printer menu
item. SageWords 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. SageWords 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.

SageWords will prompt for a file name when you
decide to store the current definition. The
default extension for printer definitions is .PDF.

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 SageWords default.

TOGGLE INITIAL ZOOM STATE

    Keystroke sequence:   173
)    Alternate keystrokes: 173

The state of this toggle determines SageWords'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 SageWords
default.

The normal zoom window command may be used at any
time, regardless of Initial Zoom State.

Spell Checking

)    Main: 169    Alternate: 169

In combination with Cosmic Speller,  the new   RAM
resident spelling checker and thesaurus,
SageWords will spell-check any of your documents.
Speller - must be installed, or an error will
occur.

SageWords 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.
]

SageWords 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, SageWords 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 Speller 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.
]

)  
List Speller sound-alikes
)    Display a list of sound-alike words from
)    Speller's dictionary. Select one and press
)    <Enter>, or press <Esc> to return to the
)    previous menu.
)  
Edit from the keyboard
)    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 Speller's interactive modes at this
)    time. SageWords 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 Speller'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.

Printer Definitions

Each type of printer is described to SageWords by
a small file with the extension PDF. This file
contains information regarding the control codes
that enable the printer's various fonts, as well
as some additional information that tells
SageWords about the printer.

Existing PDF files can be changed, and new ones
created via the 
SageWords Printer definition
menu. The printer definition most recently
selected via the 
File Print menu can be modified
here. Choose 
Edit string to change the control
code for any supported font. Each font is
associated with two strings - one to turn the font
ON, and another to turn it OFF.

When you choose a string 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 current printer definition can be saved to a
disk file by using the 
Save definition menu
selection. A prompt box will ask for the name of
the file to be saved.
