SHAREWARE - REGISTRATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WordMaster is distributed as a shareware product. That DOES NOT
mean it is 'free' software -- it DOES mean that you may use it at no
charge for a reasonable period of time before paying for it.
This method of distribution gives you, the user, the opportunity to
try WordMaster on your computer, in your environment, working on
your own problems so that you can fairly evaluate whether it meets
your word-processing needs. If it turns out the program does not
meet your needs you have not lost hundreds of dollars, as can happen
with 'commercial' software.
But if WordMaster DOES meet your word-processing needs, you have an
obligation to register the program. That is why shareware is also
called user-supported software. Software programmers invest long
hours in developing their software and depend on the people who use
that software to pay the rent, keep the utilites on and buy the
things being sold by YOUR company. It is a system based on trust --
we distribute the software out to the public and trust that those
who benefit from using it will pay for it. So if after a reasonable
trial period of 30 days you are still using WordMaster on a regular
basis, print out the REGISTER file or use the form at the end of
this document to legitimize continued use.
The $30 registration fee licenses using one copy of the program
on one computer at one time. The common analogy is to that of a
book: the software may be used by any number of people and may be
moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no
possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used
at another; just as a book cannot be read by two different people in
two different places at the same time.
Commercial users that can not meet the above test must apply for a
site license as outlined at the end of the documentation. Failure
to do so constitutes violation of the copyright laws.
Registered users will receive the most recent version of the program
and be notified of future updates, which will be provided to users
at a nominal charge.
* * * * * * *
Price is subject to change without notice but is guaranteed through
July 1991.
Payment must be made in US funds drawn on a US bank. Processing
checks drawn on foreign banks frequently costs almost as much as the
registration fee and will not be accepted. Users outside North
America should refer to the registration information at the end of
the documentation.

DISCLAIMER
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Users of WordMaster must accept the following disclaimer of warranty
or they should not put the program on their computer:
"WordMaster is supplied 'as is' and is not warranted to necessarily
meet the needs of the user; by using this software you acknowledge
that this software may not suit your needs or be completely
trouble-free.
"Neither MasterWorks nor the author shall be liable for any loss or

--------------------------------------------------------------------
SHAREWARE - DISTRIBUTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Individuals are encouraged to copy the shareware version of this
program to give to friends, post on BBSs, etc. It is important that
you include ALL WordMaster files so the program functions properly
and anyone receiving such a copy is able to evaluate WordMaster
fairly.
Distribution of registered copies of WordMaster is a violation of
copyright laws.
Commercial distributors may distribute WordMaster providing they
charge a REASONABLE fee per disk for the program files, include ALL
the shareware files on the disk and plainly state in their catalogs
and advertising that they are distributing shareware programs that
users are expected to pay for. Such distributors should contact
MasterWorks to be sure they have the lastest version available.
* * *
WordMaster is also available with standard UK English spelling
rather than American English and in German, Afrikaans and (soon)
Romanian language versions.

Creating Your Work Environment
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you begin serious wordprocessing with WordMaster, you should
take a few minutes to establish various defaults to make your work
as easy as possible.
First, you MUST set your Home Directory so that WordMaster can find
the files it needs to operate properly -- the help file (WM.HLP),
the printer file (*.PDF) and the default macro file (WM.MAC) -- from
any directory you are working in. Do this with the <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-S>
command or <F1, O, P, H>. You will see a prompt window displaying
the current directory (unless the Home Directory has already been
set). If you are already in the directory where your WordMaster
files are stored, simply press <Enter>. Otherwise, enter the
correct directory, such as C:\WP, and <Enter>.
You will also want to check the color settings -- even if you are
working with a monochrome monitor. These settings determine the
appearance of marked blocks, fonts and various aspects of the
display. The default settings are fine for most monitors, but there
are always exceptions. Use the <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-C> command or the menu
access <F1, O, C>. You need only establish basic functionality of
the settings for now. Later you might want to experiment with
various settings to achieve the visual mix that suits you best.
Another thing you may want to check are the default margins. The
program comes with the left margin set at 8 and the right margin at
75. These margins are fine for most purposes but can be changed --
either temporarily or permanently -- to whatever suits you best.
Another important setting is the printer definition file that is the
'translator' WordMaster uses to talk to your printer. The default
printer file is EPSMX80.PDF and that will work with most printers.
Use the <Shift-F9> command or <F1, F, P> to bring up the print menu
to establish that it is loaded and appears on the 'Which printer'
line. Later on, if experience suggests a different .PDF file is
needed refer to the section on printing, page 15.
Once this is all done use the <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-D> command or <F1, O, S>
to make these defaults permanent. Now, whenever you start a work
session with WordMaster all these things will be set. Of course you
can change these settings temporarily for a particular purpose
without affecting the permanent defaults you have just set unless
you save them with the <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-D> command.
The time spent setting up your working environment is time well
spent. It will help you become familiar with the program. And it
will save you time and aggravation later on.
Please do it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING STARTED
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WordMaster is an extremely easy wordprocessor/editor to learn to
use. There is a built-in menuing system that is designed to perform
more than 90 of the basic editing commands while providing visual
cues and a fairly complete help system to guide the user toward full
utilization of the program's potential.
In the upper right corner of the WordMaster screen is displayed <F1>
for menus. So press <F1>. You will see a menu across the top of
the screen that gives you the following options:
File Text Window Block Goto Search Macros Options Help
You can access much of the command structure of WordMaster from this
menu by pressing the highlighted first letter of that area. You can
now execute any of the listed commands by pressing the highlighted
first letter of the command or by moving the lightbar to the command
and pressing <Enter>. If you have one set of commands displayed and
wish to move to another you can use the <left/right> arrow keys to
move between command lists so long as only the first level of
commands is displayed. For example, if you have the Window command
list displayed, with its choices of Open, Close Previous, Next,
Zoom, and you want the Block commands, simply press the <right
arrow> to move to the list of block commands.
New users will find all the basic commands for loading a file and
then saving it and exiting from WordMaster under the File heading.
Here is an example of using this method of executing commands:
Upon loading WordMaster, you will be presented with a blank screen
with the name "New File" at the left side of the top border. If you
want to create a new document you can begin entering it immediately.
At any point you can give it a name by pressing <F1> and pressing F
for the File option (or if you are aready at the File option, simply
press <Enter>. Then press N (for Name) or move the lightbar down to
"Name current file" and press <Enter>.
If instead of creating a new file you wish to edit an existing file,
choose the File option and enter O for Open or move to the Open
option and press <Enter>. You will then be presented with a prompt
box displaying *.* for the current directory. If the desired file
is in the current directory, simply press <Enter>; otherwise, enter
the correct path then press <Enter>. You will be presented with a
list of all the files in the directory selected. Move to the desired
file and press <Enter>. (Hint: if the directory is long, you can
move more quickly by entering the first letter of the desired file
and you will be taken to the closest file beginning with that
letter.)
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to <ESCape> from the 'Open File' prompt
menu. If you do, you will be forced to exit the program.
When you have finished creating or editing your file you can switch
to another file by choosing the File option, then pressing G for "Go
to new file" or moving to the "Go to new file" option and pressing
<Enter>. You will be prompted to save the file if that has not been
done. You will then be given the same prompt for path.
When you have finished your WordMaster session, you can exit in two
ways. With the File menu you can choose either Exit/save or Abandon
file/leave WM. With the Exit/save option the file will be saved and
you will then exit the program. With the Abandon option you will
exit the program immediately without saving any changes made to the
file. NOTE: As a safety measure, the Abandon option can not be
accessed by pressing a single letter like other commands; you must
move to it with the cursor arrows.
There is, of course a much faster way of accomplishing all this by
learning the function key and control key commands in the WordMaster
command structure. Anyone who intends to use WordMaster to any
significant extent is encouraged to learn this.
* * *
On-line Help
The <F1> menus can also be used to access the help system. For
example, in the above procedure you might have wanted to know what
the Save changes/backup command would do. In order to find out,
simply move the light bar to the command and press <F1> and you will
be presented with a short summary of the effects of the command.
Remember to use the lightbar to access the command, as using the
first letter will execute the command. Note that when you were
using the <F1> menus to perform commands that in most cases the
menus disappeared when the command was executed. When using them
for help, however, you must press <Esc> to exit each level of the
help menus.
Using the <Esc> command also allows you to back out of virtually any
command if you change your mind about wanting to execute it.
Help is also available in the form of a "Command Summary" with the
<Alt-F1> command. You will be presented with a list of topics that
can be accessed by moving to the desired item and pressing <Enter>.
* * *
Information on registration and user support is to be found by
selecting the Help option on the <F1> menus and pressing R or U.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Keyboard Command Structure
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Cursor Movement
This first section of commands deals with the various ways of moving
the cursor through the text. It's probably unnecessary to mention
the four basic cursor arrow keys -- left, right, up, down -- or PgUp
and PgDn; they work just as expected. To move the cursor one word
at a time use <Ctrl-Left> and <Ctrl-Right>. To move to the end of
the line, use <End>. To move to the beginning of the current line
use <Home><Left>. To move the cursor to the top or bottom of the
page without scrolling the text, use <Home><Up> and <Home><Down>.
The cursor can be moved through text to the beginning of the last
sentence or the next sentence by using <Alt-L> and <Alt-N>. <Alt-W>
and <Alt-Z> will scroll the text on the screen one line at a time
without moving the cursor position unless the cursor position is
scrolled off the screen, which will cause the cursor to stay at the
top or bottom line of the screen. Holding the keys down will cause
continuous scrolling. The commands <Ctrl-PgUp> and <Ctrl-PgDn> will
take you to the beginning or end of the document.
Tab
The <TAB> key [on some keyboards it is simply marked with two
arrows] moves the cursor to the next Tab setting. The default Tabs
are set at every five spaces, so the cursor would advance from
column 1 to column 6 to column 11, and so forth across the page.
Using <Shift-Tab> causes the cursor to move backwards.
Insert Lines
A blank line can be inserted into the text in two different ways,
<Ctrl-M> and <Ctrl-N>. There is a reason for having two commands.
<Ctrl-M> is the command that is given when you press the <Enter> [or
<Return>] key. But if you are in typeover mode rather than the
default insert mode, this will not insert a new line into the text.
Therefore the <Ctrl-N> command is available.
Center Line
To center text on a line press <Ctrl-F9> or <Ctrl-E> while anywhere
on that line -- or use the <F1, Text> option.
Delete
The <Del> key deletes the character the cursor is on. The <Bksp>
key deletes the character to the left of the cursor. <Ctrl-End>
will delete everything on the line to the right of the cursor.
<Ctrl-Y> deletes the entire line on which the cursor is placed.
A blank line of text can be deleted by using <Ctrl-Y> or by placing
the cursor on the first column of the line and pressing <BackSp>.
Undelete
<F2> -- Restore line to status upon entry. Useful when editing a
document to undo changes; e.g., accidental deletions with the
<Ctrl-End> command.
<Ctrl-U> or <Ctrl-Q> -- Either command restores lines deleted with
the <Ctrl-Y> command.
* * *
WordMaster's command structure combines utilization of the function
keys plus a fairly logical system of Control Key combinations. The
following material is listed, first, by Function Key order. In some
instances related commands that utilize Control Key sequences are
listed together with the Function Key commands for simplicity.
Command sequences that do not involve the Function keys but only the
Control Keys, are generally listed in alphabetical order of the
Control Key commands.
DOS Commands
<Ctrl-F1> -- Go to DOS Shell. This command opens up a window to the
DOS command line so that you can execute any program or command
without leaving WordMaster -- provided there is sufficient RAM.
<Shift-F1> -- Change logged Directory. This gives one the option of
changing to a desired directory or subdirectory.
Command Summary Help
<Alt-F1> -- This command activates a subsidiary help system that is
designed to remind you of commands when you are using the normal
keyboard command structure. It can be accessed in two ways.
Pressing <Alt-F1> will bring up a menu of command groups. Move
the light bar to the desired area and press <Enter>. You will be
presented with summary of the keyboard commands. The same menu
can be accessed through the <F1> menus by selecting the Misc
option, and then Help. Again, use <Esc> to exit each level.
Menu, Help System
<F1> -- This activates the Menu System, as explained above. Also,
when at any menu command choice or command dialog box, pressing
<F1> will call up the on-line help system with an explanation of
the command.
Check Spelling
<Ctrl-F2> -- The spell checking commands work only if you have
installed Borland International's Turbo Lightning, a commercial
spelling checker.
Restore Line
<F2> -- Restores line as it was upon entry, as noted above.
Margins
<Ctrl-F3> -- Set right margin. The default setting is 75. If the
right margin is set beyond about 80 it will cause most printers
to print anything beyond that point as a separate line, though it
will not be registered as such inside WordMaster and really mess
up page-breaks.
<Shift-F3> -- Set left margin. The default setting is 1. Most
users will want to set it at about 8 and use the Save Defaults
command to make this the permanent default. It is useful to be
able to change the left margin if you are doing a long indented
passage or need exceptionally wide margins when the document is
printed or need to print out a document that has left blank space
on the left for margins.
<Alt-F3> -- Set temporary margin at cursor. This is a more useful
command than might seem apparent. For example, as I am writing
this the text is automatically wrapping between the default
margins. In order to indent this paragraph when I'm finished I
can go to the beginning of the second line, indent the text,
press <Alt-F6> to set the temporary margin, then press the
following command, <F6>, to reformat at the indented margin.
<F3> -- Reformat Paragraph. This command would not be necessary if
we never made changes. But we do and the formatting that was
done automatically as we entered text gets messed up. This
command reformats from the cursor position forward to the end of
the paragraph.
<Ctrl-R><Ctrl-T> -- Reset Top Margin. The default is 3 lines.
<Ctrl-R><Ctrl-B> -- Reset Bottom Margin. The default is 7 lines.
<Ctrl-R><Ctrl-P> -- Sets a temporary margin. When both Word Wrap
and Fixed Tabs are in effect (those are the default settings)
this command will reset the left margin by one tab setting.
Giving the command twice will reset by two tab settings, etc.
Moving the cursor to column 1 cancels the temporary margins.
<Ctrl-R><Ctrl-M> -- Releases the current line's margins. This
allows you to enter text beyond the right margin. The command is
also useful for placing Printing Format commands in column 1.
Find Commands
<Ctrl-F4> -- Find and Replace. You are prompted for a 'string' --
any sequence of letters and numbers not necessarily a complete word
and not limited to a single word. After entering the string to
search for, you are prompted for the string to replace it with.
Finally you are presented with a series of options: UBGWLN.
U - ignores case in the search, treating all alphabetic
characters as uppercase.
B - searches backward from the present cursor position to the
beginning of the file.
G - searches globally. The entire file is searched starting at
the beginning of the file unless the 'B'option is also
chosen.
W - searches for whole words only. Matching patterns embedded in
other words will be skipped.
L - Searches only within a marked block.
N - Will replace without asking for confirmation.
Entering <Ctrl-C>M<Ctrl-C>J will search for the end of a text line
as part of the search sequence.
If the N option is not specified, a prompt will occur each time the
search pattern is found. This prompt will provide the following
options: Replace? (Y/N/A/Q):
Y - replace this text and continue searching.
N - do Not replace, but continue searching.
A - replace this text and replace All others without prompting.
Q - do not replace, and Quit searching.
<Shift-F4> -- Search and Use Macro. Similar to the <Ctrl-F4> Search
and Replace. You are prompted for a word or words to search for,
the macro will be applied when it is found. You are prompted for
the same search options.
A related command, Macro Record, is found with the Toggle commands.
<Alt-F4> -- Find String. Searches for string entered at the prompt.
The following options are available:
U - ignores case in the search
B - searches backward from the present cursor position to the
beginning of the file.
G - searches globally. The entire file is searched starting at
the beginning of the file unless the 'B'option is also chosen.
W - searches for whole words only. Matching patterns embedded in
other words will be skipped.
L - Searches only within a marked block.
n - search for nth occurence of string where n is an integer
<F4> -- Find Next. Repeats actions set up for Find String.
Block Commands
Learning to use the block commands with facility greatly increases
the ease with which text can be manipulated.
<Ctrl-F6> -- Block Start. Marks where the block is to start.
<Ctrl-B><Ctrl-S> is an alternate command.
<Shift-F6> -- Block Move. Moves a marked block to cursor.
<Ctrl-B><Ctrl-M> is an alternate command.
<Alt-F6> -- Block Copy. Copies a marked block to cursor.
<Ctrl-B><Ctrl-C> is an alternate command.
<F6> -- Block End. Marks the end of the block.
<Ctrl-B><Ctrl-E> is an alternate command.
<Ctrl-F5> -- Delete Block. Deletes a block that has been marked.
<Ctrl-B><Ctrl-D> is an alternate command.
<Shift-F5> -- Reads in a file at cursor position. You are prompted
for the file name.
<Ctrl-B><Ctrl-R> is an alternate command.
<Alt-F5> -- Writes a marked block to a file. You are prompted for
a file name.
<Ctrl-B><Ctrl-W> is an alternate command.
<F5> -- Marks the word at cursor location as a block. This is
useful for changing the font characterics of a word while editing.
<Ctrl-B><Ctrl-U> is an alternate command.
<Ctrl-B><Ctrl-B> -- Moves to the bottom of a marked block.
<Ctrl-B><Ctrl-F> -- Reformats a marked block. This can be used to
reformat a number of paragraphs quickly by marking them as a block.
But be sure the paragraphs are separated by a blank line or they
will reformat into a single paragraph.
<Ctrl-B><Ctrl-T> -- Moves to the top of a marked block.
NOTE: To unmark a block after moving or copying it, give the <F6>
'block end' command at the beginning of the block, where the cursor
should be located following the move or copy. There is more
about using blocks in the Application Hints beginning on p. 26.
Macros
A macro generally consists of a series of actions that are performed
often enough that it is convenient to reduce the activity to a few
keystrokes. An example is given in the chapter Application Hints.
<Ctrl-F7> -- Load a macro file. The default file is WM.MAC, but any
number of .MAC files could be created. Each one holds 10 macros.
<Shift-F7> -- Save macros to a file. This means you don't have to
recreate the macros each time you load WordMaster.
<Alt-F7> -- Edit a Macro. With this command you can edit an
existing macro or create a new one.
<F7> -- Playback Macros by Menu. You are presented with a menu of
macros 0 - 9 that can be entered at present location.
<Alt-1> through <Alt-9> -- Plays back macros assigned to those
numbers.
Macro #0 is a special macro that is discussed on page 19.
A related command, Macro Record, is found with the Toggle commands.
Windows
Windows allow you to accomplish with ease tasks that would be
excruciating without them. Some examples are included in the
chapter in applications.
<Ctrl-F8> -- Close a Window. Close the current window.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-C> is an alternate command.
NOTE: The file being edited WILL NOT be automatically saved.
So be sure to save with the <F9> command before closing the
window. When you have multiple files open this can be used as an
'emergency exit' in the same manner as the <Ctrl-G> <Ctrl-X>
command.
<Shift-F8> -- Go to Previous Window. This moves you 'up' the
screen to the previous window. If you are in the top window this
will rotate down to the lowest window. If you have only two
windows open, this works like a toggle between them.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-P> is an alternate command.
<Alt-F8> -- Go to Next Window. The "next" window is the next one
down the screen. If you're in the bottom window, the next one is
the top screen. Like the above command, this will work as a
toggle if only two windows are open.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-N> is an alternate command.
<F8> -- Open a New Window. Another window will be opened and you
will be prompted for the directory from which to select a file to
put in the window. You can, of course, give it the name of a new
file, if you choose.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-A> is an alternate command.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-R> -- Resize Current Window. There are times when it
is convenient to have one window only three or four lines high
and the other much larger. Use arrow keys, <Enter> when done.
<Ctrl-Z> -- This command zooms the current window to fill the
screen. It works as a toggle -- doing it a second time
"un-zooms" the window. A valuable feature when editing in
several windows simultaneously.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-Z>. This alternate command exists only for a
certain aesthetic consistency.
Printing
<Shift-F9> -- Print a File. The command brings up a menu of various
parameters that can be set, such as beginning and ending pages to
be printed. For proper results, be sure to enter the printer
definition file (*.PDF) for your printer and make it a permanent
default by using the Save Defaults command <Ctrl-S> <Ctrl-D>.
If the default EPSMX80.PDF file will not work with your printer
try one of the other .PDF files contained in the self-extracting
file PDF-SFX.COM; extract them by typing PDF-SFX <Enter> on the
command line while in the directory containing the WordMaster
files. If none of these work satisfactorily with your printer,
you can use the 'Edit printer codes' option on the print menu to
create your own .PDF file. Have your printer manual handy and
call up the menu with the <Shift-F9> command and press 'E' to get
the secondary menu of font codes. Press <Enter> at the code you
want to change to access the code storage area. Enter the code
from your manual. Note that many printer commands include an
<Esc> as part of the command; in order to enter this you must put
<Scroll Lock> ON to enter literal mode. When finished entering
-- while NOT in literal mode -- press <Enter> to save your work
or <Esc> to exit without saving. When you are all done use the
'Save printer setup' to create a new .PDF file.
Use of single sheets is a bit trickier than using form feeds
because of the peculiarities of different printers. Be sure to
set 'Manual paper feed' to ON and 'Use formfeeds' to OFF. You
will probably also have to adjust the length of your page from
the default setting of 66 to a length that corresponds to the
number of lines your printer will print before issuing an "out of
paper" signal to WordMaster telling it to wait for the next page.
If this adjustment is not made you may find yourself with a lot
of strange looking pages and wasted paper.
There is more on printing in the section on print formatting
commands (p.23).
Exiting from WordMaster
There are two ways to exit from WordMaster.
<Alt-F9> -- Save the File and Exit. This is the "normal" way to
exit the program when you are working on material that you want
to save.
<Ctrl-G><Ctrl-X> -- Abandon the File and Exit. There are at least
two cases in which you might want to exit without saving the
file. It could be that you just do not want to save whatever you
have been doing. The other possibility is a scenario like the
following: You have loaded a file that you wish to edit. In the
course of editing you accidentally delete a very large block of
material. If you exit without saving -- <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-X> or F1,
F, Abandon -- the changes you made to the file will not be saved
and the file will still be intact in its original form. You can
then restart WordMaster, load the file, and begin the editing
process with the deleted material intact.
Situations like this can occur to anyone at any time and is the
reason experienced computer users save their work often. If in
the above situation you had saved the file <F9> five or ten
minutes prior to the accidental deletion you could exit without
saving, reload the file and only have lost the five or ten
minutes worth of editing rather than valuable data.
Save File
<F9> -- Save File and Continue to Edit. Pressing this key
periodically as you work guarantees that in the event of some
sort of major disaster all your work will not be lost. A word to
the wise!
Files
<Ctrl-F10> -- Gives you a directory listing of the current logged
directory or any other. If you want to see the current
directory, simply press <Enter> when prompted for a Directory
Mask. If you want to see if a certain file is in a directory
called DATA, simply type \DATA at the prompt and <Enter>. You
can also use wildcards to view only certain classes of files. If
you want to see only the .BAT files on your root directory, type
\*.BAT at the prompt. <Esc> to exit.
<Shift-F10> -- Save File, Switch to New File. This command is used
when you've finished work on one file and want to edit another.
You can also use this command to begin a new file after editing.
Simply enter that file name at the prompt and the new file will
be opened.
<Alt-F10> -- The most frequent use for this command is to give a new
file a name. It is potentially dangerous in that you could
overwrite an existing file -- but you are prompted and asked if
you want to overwrite the file.
<F10> -- This is the command that you will use when you begin the
program and wish to begin editing an existing file. After
pressing <F10> you will be prompted for the directory in which
the desired file is to be found. If you are already in the
correct directory, simply press <Enter> and you will be shown the
contents of the current directory.
This command can be used to begin a new file in exactly the same
way as is explained under <Shift-F10> by entering the name of the
new file at the prompt. If you <Esc> out of this command you
will be taken back to the previous file.
Fonts
WordMaster has the ability to print in several different fonts,
depending upon the capabilities of your printer. If your printer
has Epson emulation, you should be able to print all these fonts.
The font changes are accomplished by inserting control characters
into the text. The easiest way to do this is by using the font
commands below. This is how they work: When you press one of the
<Alt-letter> commands TWO control characters are embedded in the
text, one BEFORE the cursor and one AT the cursor. If you are in
INSERT MODE you can now simply enter the text you wish to have in
that font. When you wish to return to normal text simply use the
<right arrow> to move the cursor one space to the right and continue
entering text, which will be normal text. You can see this in
action by changing the Toggle Attributes command <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-A> to
OFF, thereby displaying the embedded codes rather than the font
attribute.
If a block is marked, the font command will change the entire block
to that font and unmark the block. Very useful when editing text.
An alternate way to change fonts is to use the Insert Control
Character command <Ctrl-C>. Use this method with caution as
it allows you it insert any control character, some of which may
have unexpected effects.
If you work in TYPEOVER mode you will overwrite the second embedded
code and will have to enter it manually with the <Ctrl-C> command.
<Alt-B> -- Print Bold.
<Alt-C> -- Print Compressed.
<Alt-R> -- Print in Superscript.
<Alt-S> -- Print in Subscript.
<Alt-T> -- Print in Italic.
<Alt-U> -- Print with Underscore.
<Alt-F> -- Show font. It is not always possible -- especially on a
monochrome monitor -- to distinguish the various fonts. Using
this command will tell you if a special font has been selected or
if it is normal text.
<Alt-O> -- Change the letter at the cursor position to lower case.
<Alt-P> -- Change the letter at the cursor position to upper case.
<Alt-O> and <Alt-P> can be useful when a great deal of text needs
to be changed to all upper or lower case. Block the text and
the <Alt- > commands will then change the entire block.
Abort Command
<Ctrl-A> -- Abort Command. In most instances in WordMaster the <Esc>
will cause you to "back out" of wherever you are. But you might
give a command that cannot by stopped by <Esc> -- <Ctrl-A> should
get you out of most such situations.
Control Character
<Ctrl-C> -- Insert control character. This can be used to insert
font characters when editing text.
Double Spacing
<Ctrl-D> -- An embedded ^D will cause text to be double-spaced until
the next embedded ^D turns it off. Refer to the additional
information on page 28.
Move to Equal Indent
When you are working with Indent turned on it is useful to be able
to move easily from one indented line to another.
<Ctrl-D><Ctrl-D> will move you down to the next line with equal
indentation.
<Ctrl-D><Ctrl-U> will move you up to the next line that is indented
at the same column as the current line.
Even when you are not using Indent, the commands can be a time-saver
in moving from anywhere on the current line to the beginning of the
next line up or down.
Go To
<Ctrl-G><Ctrl-C> -- Go to Column. Moves the cursor to the
designated column on the current line.
<Ctrl-G><Ctrl-L> -- Go to Line. Goes to the designated line in the
document. Especially useful when working with pagination toggled
OFF, though the program keeps track of lines even when in normal
pagination mode. This is useful to programmers who generally
eschew pagination and keep track of code location by line number.
<Ctrl-G><Ctrl-P> -- Go to Page. Goes to first line of indicated
page. Useful for moving quickly through longer documents.
<Ctrl-G><Ctrl-R> -- Go to Previous Cursor Position. Returns cursor
to position it occupied prior to last movement. While editing you
might need to view something using one of the Quick Movement
commands; this command would return the cursor to your previous
position.
<Ctrl-G><Ctrl-W> -- Go to Window. Makes designated window the
active window.
<Ctrl-G><Ctrl-X> -- Exit the file without saving it.
Jump to Marker
These commands move you to any of the markers set by the Set Marker
command.
<Ctrl-J>0 -- Jump to Marker 0.
<Ctrl-J>1 -- Jump to Marker 1.
<Ctrl-J>2 -- Jump to Marker 2.
<Ctrl-J>3 -- Jump to Marker 3.
<Ctrl-J>4 -- Jump to Marker 4.
<Ctrl-J>5 -- Jump to Marker 5.
<Ctrl-J>6 -- Jump to Marker 6.
<Ctrl-J>7 -- Jump to Marker 7.
<Ctrl-J>8 -- Jump to Marker 8.
<Ctrl-J>9 -- Jump to Marker 9.
<Ctrl-J><Ctrl-M> -- Jump to Marker by menu. This will show you
which markers have been set.
Hard Space
<Ctrl-O> -- Use this if you do not want wordwrap to break between
certain words. For example, after Mr. or Mrs. It will be printed
as a regular space.
Playback Zero Macro
The Zero macro CAN be created like any other macro with the <Alt-F7>
'Edit Macro' command, but it is specifically where 'Macro Record'
macros are recorded automatically -- even if you assign them to a
different macro. So, permanent macros should not be put here!
These commands play back Macro 0 the designated number of times.
<Ctrl-P>0 -- You are prompted for number of playbacks.
<Ctrl-P>1 -- Playback macro 1 time.
<Ctrl-P>2 -- Playback macro 2 times.
<Ctrl-P>3 -- Playback macro 3 times.
<Ctrl-P>4 -- Playback macro 4 times.
<Ctrl-P>5 -- Playback macro 5 times.
<Ctrl-P>6 -- Playback macro 6 times.
<Ctrl-P>7 -- Playback macro 7 times.
<Ctrl-P>8 -- Playback macro 8 times.
<Ctrl-P>9 -- Playback macro 9 times.
Set Marker
These commands set markers in the text allowing you to move quickly
from one point to another. These are temporary markers for the
duration of the editing session and are not saved when the document
is exited. Markers can be moved simply by setting the marker in a
different location -- it will be deleted at the original location.
The marker can be deleted without moving it by setting it a second
time at the same location -- in other words, the command is a
toggle.
<Ctrl-S>0 -- Sets Marker 0.
<Ctrl-S>1 -- Sets Marker 1.
<Ctrl-S>2 -- Sets Marker 2.
<Ctrl-S>3 -- Sets Marker 3.
<Ctrl-S>4 -- Sets Marker 4.
<Ctrl-S>5 -- Sets Marker 5.
<Ctrl-S>6 -- Sets Marker 6.
<Ctrl-S>7 -- Sets Marker 7.
<Ctrl-S>8 -- Sets Marker 8.
<Ctrl-S>9 -- Sets Marker 9.
<Ctrl-S><Ctrl-M> -- Set a marker via menu; also shows where existing
markers are located.
Set Colors
<Ctrl-S><Ctrl-C> -- Set Colors. If you have a color monitor, this
command will allow you to change the colors. With a monochrome
system you can reset the highlighting that shows various fonts.
Set Defaults
<Ctrl-S><Ctrl-D> -- Save defaults. This command allows the user to
change some default settings. For example, if you should prefer
to work in typeover mode then use this command while in typeover
mode and the default will be changed.
<Ctrl-S><Ctrl-E> -- Set default extension. This command allows you
to set a default extension to all files without one. It can also
shorten the process of naming files if they all are going to have
the same extension.
System Commands
<Ctrl-S><Ctrl-I> -- System Information. Displays information about
the current file as well as the operating system.
<Ctrl-S><Ctrl-P> -- Set Page Length. Allows changing page length
from the default of 66 lines to enable printing on non-standard
papers.
<Ctrl-S><Ctrl-R> -- Show available RAM.
<Ctrl-S><Ctrl-S> -- Set Support Path. Tells the program where its
files are located. It is very important to set this to the
directory where your WordMaster files are located so that you can
use WordMaster from any directory and the program will know where
to find the Help file, .PDF files, etc.
Toggle Commands
All these commands represent on/off choices dealing with how text is
displayed and/or handled in other ways.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-A> -- Toggle Attributes. Toggles between displaying
font attributes and the printer control characters. The default
is ON.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-C> -- Toggle Case. Toggles character at cursor
between upper and lower case. Will toggle an entire marked block
if cursor is in the block.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-D> -- Toggle Compress at Wrap. This command works
ONLY when word wrap is tured ON, the default. When this is on,
all extraneous spaces are removed when text wraps to the next
line. This can be very annoying if you are doing columns or other
text with empty spaces. It even allows only one space between
sentences. The one really practical use for the command is when
converting right-justified text to the normal ragged-right
format. The default is OFF.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-F> -- Toggle Fixed Tabs. Fixed tabs are tabs fixed
at regular intervals. The alternative is tabs fixed on a
changing basis, called smart tabs. When smart tabs is in effect,
tab stops are set at the beginning of every word in the previous
line of text. This can be useful when creating tables. The
default is ON.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-H> -- Toggle High-Bit Strip. Some programs like
WordStar set the high bit on words as part of their formatting
procedure. To bring a WordStar file into the ASCII format used
by WordMaster, that high bit needs to be stripped. The default
is OFF.
<Ins> -- Toggle Insert. The Insert Key toggles between Insert and
Typeover modes. The default is Insert.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-I> -- Toggle Autoindent Mode. Autoindent causes each
line to begin at the same column as the previous line. This is
useful when inputting a section of indented text. It is much
used by programmers, who use indenting extensively.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-J> -- Toggle Right Justify. Right Justify will cause
extra spaces to be added to your text so that the right margin
forms a perfectly straight line, like this paragraph. Right
justification is somewhat controversial as the extra white space
in the middle of the sentence at the expense of white space
around it makes it difficult for some people to read.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-L> -- Toggle 43-line mode. This enables color systems
that can display 43 lines. The default is OFF.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-M> -- Toggle Marker Display. Toggles whether markers
that have been set are displayed or not. The default is ON.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-P> -- Toggle pagination. This determines whether
WordMaster relates to the text as pages or simply as a certain
number of lines. The default is ON.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-R> -- Toggle Macro Record. When the macro record
toggle is turned on the program begins to remember everything you
enter until you toggle it off. At that point you will be
presented with a menu of macros, giving you the option of saving
everything you've entered as a macro. This is sometimes the
easiest way to write complex macros.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-S> -- Toggle Snow Check. Needed on some earlier color
systems. The default is OFF.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-T> -- Toggle Tab Line. This toggles the display of the
tab settings when set to fixed tabs. The default is OFF.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-U> -- Toggle Block Cursor. This allows you to choose a
large, non-blinking cursor. The default is OFF.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-W> -- Toggle Word Wrap. Word wrap is what causes your
text to go automatically to the next line when you reach the
right margin. The default is ON.
<Ctrl-T><Ctrl-Z> -- Toggle Initial Zoom. The practical effect of
this is whether you would see a second window on the screen or
would have to use <Alt-F8> to see it. The default is OFF.
Undo Function
These commands all relate to the <Ctrl-Y> line deletion command and
its undelete command, <Ctrl-U> or <Ctrl-Q>.
<Ctrl-U> or <Ctrl-Q> -- Undo the <Ctrl-Y> deletion(s).
<Ctrl-V><Ctrl-I> -- Insert the contents of the undo buffer at the
cursor location.
<Ctrl-V><Ctrl-F> -- Flush the contents of the undo buffer.
<Ctrl-V><Ctrl-S> -- Set Undo Limit. Allows setting a new undo
limit.
Tabs
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-D> -- Restore default tabs.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-E> -- Edit Tab Line.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-F> -- Toggle between normal fixed tabs and 'smart'
tabs.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-L> -- Set Tab Line. This is a strange command. It
resets the tab line so that there is a tab placed at the
beginning of every word in the line where the cursor is located.
If the line is blank, all tabs will be removed. It can be useful
for column work.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-T> -- Toggle tab line display.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-V> -- Save Tab Line. If you want a record of your tab
settings for a certain file, this will place it on the line where
the cursor is located. It is preceded by the (|) command so that
it is not printed. Each tab is indicated by a T, the left and
right margins by L and R.
<Ctrl-W><Ctrl-Z> -- Set Tab Size. This allows you to change the
default setting of tabs every 5 spaces.
Toggle Tab Line and Toggle Fixed Tabs, are found with the Toggle
commands.
Help Commands
These commands will bring you a summary of the keyboard commands
associated with the area. You can reach the same windows through the
<F1> menus by choosing Help, Help and choosing the relevant topic.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-A> -- Help Summary.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-B> -- Block Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-C> -- Cursor Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-D> -- Delete Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-F> -- Find/Replace Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-H> -- Status Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-I> -- File Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-K> -- Function Key Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-L> -- Flush Undo Buffer.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-M> -- Macro Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-N> -- Insert Undo Buffer.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-P> -- Spelling Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-Q> -- Quick Movement Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-R> -- Print Format Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-S> -- Setting Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-T> -- Tab Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-U> -- Utility Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-W> -- Window Help.
<Ctrl-X><Ctrl-X> -- Text Help.

Print/Page Formatting Commands
--------------------------------------------------------------------
These commands are not accessible through the <F1> menus, only the
<Alt-F1> help sections. Learning to use them can add a professional
look to your documents.
The print formatting commands rely upon the use of a special symbol,
the vertical bar |, placed in column 1 of the text. Used by itself,
the | symbol simply tells the printer "ignore this line." This makes
it a convenient way to write messages to yourself in the text,
perhaps to aid when editing the document, such as:
|
| Eliminate following paragraph?
|
I have shown these indented so they would print, but the '|' must be
in column 1 to trigger the "ignore this line" message. If the
margin is set at a number greater than 1 -- and it usually will be
-- then use <Home-Left Arrow> to go to column 1 and then <Ctrl-R>
<Ctrl-M> to release the margin for that line and allow you to place
the text in the first column. If you use this a lot you could write
a macro to perform it easily.
If the | symbol is followed by certain codes, the information is
passed to the printer to perform certain actions.
Page Format Commands
|PO<n> This command offsets the page to the right by <n>
columns. This changes the margin for the remainder of
the document. It is the same as using <Shift-F6> to
reset the margin, but remains part of the text.
|PA This command starts a new page. If pagination in
ON (the default) this will be marked in the left border
with the double line page marker.
|PN<n> This command allows you to set the page number. If
pagination is ON this will be reflected in the Page
number in the top border. This is particularly useful
if you are working on a very long document, as you can
break it in to shorter sections and maintain accurate
page numbers.
|PG This command turns page number printing ON. The
default is to have numbering OFF.
|PC<n> This causes the page number to be printed in column <n>
rather than the default, column 39. Use this command
if, for example, you want the page number at the right
margin. This is useful if you are not using a footer.
|PL<n> This sets the page length to <n> lines.
|MT<n> This sets the top margin to <n> lines. With it you
could set different top margins for different pages.
|MB<n> This sets the bottom margin to <n> lines. Like the |MT
command, you could set different bottom margins on
different pages.
|CP<n> This sets a conditional page break. A new page will be
started if fewer than <n> lines remain on the page.
|OP This command turns page numbering OFF, the default.
However, if you had turned turned page numbering ON
with the |PG command you could turn it off for one or
more pages -- perhaps to accommodate graphics -- and
then turn it back on again.
Header Commands
|HM<n> This changes the number of lines between the top
of the page and the header. The default is one line.
|HE<n> This changes the line the header will print on.
Normally, the header is printed on the second line of
the top margin, leaving one blank line at the top of
the page and one blank line between the header and your
text.
|HE<text> This command will print whatever text follows as a
header to your document. This is frequently desirable
in reports and other documents where you want an
identifying title on every page. Using the |HE command
on a subsequent page will change the header.
Footer Commands
|FM<n> This command sets a new footer margin of <n> lines. The
default is 3 lines.
|FO<n> This sets the footer to line <n>.
|FO<text> This prints the <text> as the footer. As noted below,
if page numbers are desired AND there is a footer, the
desired position of the page number MUST be indicated
by the # symbol.
Perhaps the following mockup of a page will make the header and
footer commands a little clearer.
-------------------------------------
|HM { : (1 line) : } }
: Header (1 line) : } |TM }
: (1 line) : } }
: (1 line) : } }
: text text text text text text : }
: text text text text text text : }
: text text text text text text : }
: text text text text text text : }
/ / } |PL
: text text text text text text : }
: text text text text text text : }
: text text text text text text : }
: text text text text text text : }
: (1 line) : } }
: (1 line) : } }
: (1 line) : } |MB }
: Footer : } }
{ : (1 line) : } }
|FM { : (1 line) : } }
{ : (1 line) : } }
-------------------------------------
Simple logic will demonstrate that the following rules must be
observed:
MT must be greater that HM or the header will not be printed.
MB must be greater that FM or the footer will not be printed.
PL must be greater that the sum of MT and MB.
If either MT or MB are set to zero, page numbers will not be
printed.
The following symbols are also of use in headers and footers.
# The page number will be printed wherever the # symbol appears
in either header or footer. Note that when using a footer that
automatic pagination is turned off and the # symbol must be used
to place the page number.
\ The back slash causes the following character to be interpreted
literally. So \# would print the # symbol rather than the page
number. Even by itself, the backslack will not be printed.
Any header and footer commands should be placed at the very
beginning of the document, though they can be placed there after the
document is finished. If a header or footer is to be changed, any
such change should appear on the last line of the page before the
page on which the change is to appear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Application Hints
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Double-Space Printing
Text can be double-spaced using the embedded ^D command, but there
are some precautions that must be observed when doing this. First,
you must determine the printer code used by your printer and enter
it into the printer definition file using 'edit printer codes' on
the print menu. Be sure to enter the code for double spacing in the
'double spacing ON' AND the code for regular single spacing in the
'double spacing OFF' as that will be triggered by the second ^D.
Be aware that the double spacing will not appear on the screen
except as differently shaded text. For that reason, be prepared to
have your text break differently than you expect unless you change
the page length to reflect the different number of pages. Normally
you would have about 55 lines of text per page. With double spacing
-- depending on your printer -- you will probably only get 27. Given
that there are 11 lines dedicated to top and bottom margins changing
the page length to about 38 with the <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-P> command should
accurately reflect the expected page breaks.
If you are printing a long document with section headings that need
to start at the top of a new page you can assure this by using the
|pa indicator in column 1 to force a page break.
Since you are entering the printing codes yourself you can play
around with various codes to achieve a 1-1/2 line print or anything
else you wish. I hope this capability will further enhance the uses
to which you can put WordMaster.
Formatting
On important part of producing an attractive document is in making
certain that each part of it is properly formatted. In the normal
course of text entry the automatic word wrap will format text within
the margins that have been set. There are times though that this
formatting is upset by the process of editing a document. One case
in which this happens is the insertion of additional material into
the text.
Example -- You have just written the following sentence in a letter:
In response to your request for information in your letter I am
enclosing the material about our product.
You decide you should insert the date of the received letter into
the text and you now have the following:
In response to your request for information in your letter of June
16 I am
enclosing the material about our product.
The easiest solution is to press <F3>, the Reformat Paragraph
command, as soon as you finish typing the date. If you somehow did
not notice the need to reformat you can return at any time and press
<F3> at any point in the text before the word 'enclosing,' as
reformatting only affects text beginning with the line on which the
cursor is positioned when the command is given.
Indented Text
Reformatting is also useful when you want to set off a portion of
text by using indented text, as pointed out in the <Alt-F3> command,
Set Margin at Cursor. An easier way, if you know in advance that the
text is to be indented, is to begin the line at the column you want
the text to be indented to and use <Ctrl-T><Ctrl-I> to turn on
automatic indent. As you enter the text it will automatically be
indented to the column where you began. When you are finished use
<Ctrl-T> <Ctrl-I> to turn off the indent and return to normal
margins.
Windows - Block Usage
The use of windows can make many editing jobs a great deal easier
than they otherwise would be. To open a second (third, fourth...)
window, simply press <F8> (or <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-A> if you wish to use
the entire <Ctrl-W> series of commands). You will be prompted for a
drive and directory, the default being the current drive and
directory. The procedure from this point on is the same as choosing
the initial file in Window 1. If the desired file is in the current
directory, simply press <Enter> for the listing of files in the
directory, then move the light bar to the desired file and press
<Enter> to select it.
When the second window appears with its file, the screen will be
split into two parts. For many operations, this is desirable. If,
however, you want the full screen for editing in each file simply
press <Ctrl-Z> (or <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-Z>) and the current window will be
expanded to the entire screen. As you move between windows with the
<Shift-F8>, <Alt-F8> commands (or <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-P>, <Ctrl-W><Ctrl-N>
series) each window will be a full-screen editing environment.
A situation in which using the split screen is advantageous is when
coping or moving material within the same file, because you can
simultaneously view the portion of the document that is the source
of the material and the portion that is its destination. The same
is true for copying information between two different files.
Let us imagine you have a document for which you want to make a
Table of Contents. Load the file as usual, then open window 2 and
load the file into it also. In the upper window (window 1) go to the
place where you want to put your Table of Contents and enter your
title, "Table of Contents," and center it with <Ctrl-F9> if you want
it centered. Now use <Alt-F8> to go to window 2 and begin paging
through the document until you reach a section heading that you want
in your table of contents. We will now use the block commands to
create the listing.
Go to the beginning of the heading and press <Ctrl-F6> to mark the
beginning of the block, press <End> to go to the end of the heading
and press <F6> to mark the end of the block. Now use <Alt-F8> to
return to window 1 and move the cursor to the line you want the
heading to appear in your list. Press <Alt-F6> and the line will be
copied from window 2 to window 1. Press <F6> to unmark the block.
<Alt-F8> takes you back to window 2 to search for the next heading
to put in your list.
One of the nice things about this editor is that it will reflect any
change in all windows in which the file is open. In other words, a
line that you block in window 1 will also appear blocked in window
2. If you delete something from the file in window 2, it will also
be deleted from the file in window 1. Not all editors have this
capability, which essentially allows you to edit in both directions
between the windows.
Macros
Macros have many uses and can save you time when you learn to use
them. As an example, we will write a simple macro that will enter
your return address on the right side of the page.
We first need to access macro editing with the <Alt-F4> command. A
menu of Macros 0-9 will appear on the screen. Let's make this Macro
#1, so either press <1> or down-arrow to it and press <Enter>. We
are now asked for a name. Let's call this macro "Far Right Return
Address," so enter that and press <Enter>. We are now presented with
a blank window into which we are going to enter the macro.
We need first for our macro to go to the column where we want to
begin the return address. Let's try 55 (you can adjust this later if
your return address is very long or very short). So enter the
command <CtrlG><CtrlC> which will tell the macro we want to go to a
column. There are two ways to do this. You can simply enter it as
text, or you can employ a special capability. Press the <Scroll
Lock> key and we are now in Literal mode. Now all you need do is
hold down the <Ctrl> key while pressing <g> and <c>. The command
<CtrlG> <CtrlC> should appear. Press <Scroll Lock> again to go back
to command mode. Now enter 55, the column we want to go to.
(Note: If you do not have a <Scroll Lock> key on your keyboard,
try using <Alt-Break>. If this does not work, contact the
author and we will try to work something out for your keyboard.
Now we need to tell the macro to <Enter> that command to go to
column 55. Simply pressing <Enter> will not work, as it will cause
you to exit the Edit Macro window. So, we need to press <Scroll
Lock> again to go to literal mode. Press the <Enter> key and the
word <Enter> will appear after the 55. Press <Scroll Lock> again to
return to normal command mode. Now enter your street address. Note
that there should be no spaces at all in your text prior to
beginning your street address. When you have finished typing your
street address repeat the <Scroll Lock> <Enter> <Scroll Lock>
sequence.
Begin the procedure all over for the next line of your return
address. But you do not go to a new line in the macro editing
window. You always enter text in a purely sequential manner, even
though the window will sometimes break a word right in the middle as
it wraps to the next line. Repeat every step beginning with
<CtrlG><CtrlC>.
In a normal return address, you would have one line for the street
address, one line for the city, state and zip and one line for the
date. Since you want to be able to use this macro for a long time,
we are not going to enter the date. But it is convenient to end with
your cursor at the point where the date will go. So after you have
finished entering your city, state and zip and ended that line with
<Scroll Lock><Enter><Scroll Lock>, enter the <Ctrl-G><Ctrl-C>55
<Scroll Lock><Enter><Scroll Lock> once again. Now press <Enter>
without pressing <Scroll Lock> to exit the editing window.
Now, press <Alt-1> and your return address macro should appear on
the screen. If it does not, recheck each step of the above process.
To save this macro for future use press <Shift-F7>. When prompted
for a name, give it WM.MAC, as that is the default macro file that
will be loaded whenever you load WordMaster. Other macro files with
the .MAC extension can be created for special purposes, but they
must be loaded with the <Ctrl-F7> command.
(The WM.MAC file included with WordMaster has a 'dummy' form of the
above macro that can be edited to display your own address. You
might prefer a centered address -- particularly for a business -- so
a second 'dummy' macro has been created that omits the sequence
<CtrlG><CtrlC>55<Enter> and uses the <Ctrl-F9> command at the end of
each line of the address before the <Enter> command to take you to
the next line. Edit it for your own address. Be sure to save it
with the <Shift-F7> command. If you save it to WM.MAC it will be
loaded automatically when you start WordMaster.)

So that this will print out in a size suitable for easy reference,
the control characters for compressed printing have been entered
before the beginning of the table and again after the end of the
table. It is useful to cut this out (or print a second copy) to
have to refer to as you are learning the function key commands.
Users of earlier versions of WordMaster will notice that the
default function key assignments have been changed considerably
based upon careful evaluation of user suggestions.

Appendix II
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Command Installation Program
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WMINST.EXE, the WordMaster command installation program, allows the
user to redesign the command structure of WordMaster to suit their
particular computing needs.
The program can be particularly useful to the person who needs to
use certain commands a great deal. This user can reassign those
commands to the function keys or to control-key commands that are
easiest for them to execute.
The program is also useful to the many people who have spent a great
deal of time becoming familiar with the command structure of
particular word processors and find it frustrating to learn an
entirely new system. With this installation program the user has
the option of closely emulating the command structure of just about
any word processing program.
A Note of Caution Before Starting
In order to use the installation program the following programs MUST
be present in the same directory: WMINST.EXE, WMINST.TXT and WM.EXE.
The help file, WM.HLP, need not be present but a new one will be
written if any changes are made.
DO NOT ATTEMPT to run this program on a 360K floppy disk as there is
not enough room for both the files that must be present and the
files that will be created. The result of attempting this will be
(at best!) corrupted files that may render the program useless.
Files must either be transferred to a hard disk or a high-density
floppy. This can be done with the command: COPY a:\*.* c:\[dir]
where [dir] is the name of the directory where WordMaster is
located. If copying to a high density floppy, then 'a' and 'c'
would be replaced by the letters of the appropriate drives.
Before using this program BE SURE you never work with your original
copy of WordMaster -- ALWAYS work with a copy in case you wind up
with a command structure you don't like or that doesn't work as well
as expected. While you could run WMINST to re-create the original
command structure, this is a tedious process that can be avoided if
you still have the original program.
So long as you observe the above precautions you should experience
no difficult in using WMINST to fine-tune WordMaster to suit your
personal computing style.
Using the Program
Once you have all the program files in the same directory simply
type WMINST <Enter> to start the installation procedure. You will
see an opening screen for a couple seconds that will then clear and
present you with a list of commands that can be changed -- more than
160 of them. The only commands that can NOT be changed are the
<ALT> commands for fonts and for macros.
To make things even more complicated, each process can have two
commands assigned to it and some do have double commands in the
default configuration.
Use the <Up/Down-Arrows> and <PgUp/PgDn> to move through the list of
commands until you find one you want to change. Pressing the
<Enter> key will make the command under the cursor available for
change. Delete the current command by hitting "C" or by using the
Backspace key. Then enter the new command. Note that only the
Function keys and Control or Alt key combinations will be accepted
as commands. Pressing <Enter> again finalizes the command change
and frees you to move to another command.
If you desire making extensive changes in the command structure it
is advisable to plan this out in advance. The program will not
allow you to have duplicate commands and it will not allow you to
use a Control-key command both as a single command and as the first
command of a double Control-key command. For example, if you want
to emulate the WordStar command structure and use <Ctrl-S> as a
cursor command, you would then have to re-assign all the commands
that begin with <Ctrl-S>: <Ctrl-S>0 through 9, <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-C>,
<Ctrl-S><Ctrl-D>, <Ctrl-S><Ctrl-E>, etc. -- 19 commands in all. You
can see that this is not a task to be undertaken lightly and can
consume many hours.
My advice is to focus initially only on those commands that you use
frequently and wish to execute more easily.
When you are finished with your command changes, press <Esc> to
exit. You will be asked if you want to make the changes permanent
and write a new help file. Press "W" if you desire to save the
changes you've made, "Q" if you wish to exit without making any
changes.
If you choose to update the program the new commands will be written
to the main WordMaster file then a text file will be created from
which a new help file will be written. This process takes only a
few minutes.
Remember that any changes you have made will now be the permanent
commands.
