ST -- the SuperTyper program -- an improved version of the DOS type command.
This program provides three significant enhancements to the type command:
1) the display is paged, not scrolled, and thus is much easier to read.
2) Previously displayed pages are saved and can be accessed by use of the
PgUp and PgDn keys.
3) Wordstar's 'funny' characters are converted to normal display characters.
(as all WordStar users know, 'type'ing a WordStar file creates a strange
display)
Directions:
Type ST for directions and to be prompted for a filename to be listed.
Type ST <filename> to list a file.
PgUp and PgDn move through the display pages in the file.
The '+' toggles the display of page number in each page. This display
is convenient for keeping your place in big files -- especially files
that are bigger than memory and only part of the file can be kept in memory.
This display is normally off, it is toggled on when "buffer wrap-around"
occurs. If it bugs you, hit the '+' key and turn it off.
