- the provided utility program 'FILECONV.COM' to process the file for use by
- PAGEONE.
-
- Please be aware that if the lines in the file are longer than 79 characters,
- PAGEONE will truncate them to 79 characters. We cannot gaurantee that files
- from other text systems will work well with PAGEONE.

- PAGEONE DOCUMENT PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR TANDY 1000, 1200,IBM PC AND COMPATIBLES
- Copyright 1986 by Roy Scott & Norene Scott
- Distributed by Norosco Research--Bakersfield, California
-
-
-
-
- 1.0--OVERVIEW OF PAGEONE
-
- PAGEONE is a specially designed document processing system for small to medium
- sized jobs. It contains many features that are either not found in many of the
- large word processing systems, or these features in such systems are so
- difficult to learn that most people do not use them. PAGEONE creates a file
- that is one letter size page (8.5 x 11 inches) long. This makes it especially
- useful for making letters, flyers, documents and forms of all types. PAGEONE is
- very easy to learn as over 90% of the instructions for its use are displayed on
- the screen along with your work at all times.
-
- PAGEONE is a hybrid type of word processor, with the formatting being line
- oriented for great flexibility and full screen editing for greatest efficiency
- of operation.
-
- Since a normal printed page has 66 lines and the maximum that can be displayed
- on a normal screen is 25 lines, some method of simulated screen display had to
- be devised. This was done in the following way: The 66 lines per printed page
- have been broken down into 3 video screens, each with 22 lines of 80 character
- text. The bottom two lines on the screen are used as (24) status and (25)
- information lines. Line 23, which is not used by text, is used as a message
- area for updated information about line length, lines being full and
- and end-of-file being reached. Each line will hold 79 characters
- maximum. The 79 character maximum was chosen not only because odd numbered
- lines center and justify better, but with some older model printers that have
- an 80 character buffer, an 80 character line results in double spacing. Spaces
- in the file are represented by small graphics blocks that will disappear as
- you proceed over them, they are for visual use only. As you reach the end of
- each video screen, you will automatically advance to the next screen. This all
- sounds complex, but with just a little use it will become easy. What you see
- is what you get (wysiwyg).
-
- PAGEONE is written in Pascal, then compiled using the Turbo Pascal system, so
- it operates directly from your DOS. This results in a saving in memory as Basic
- does not have to be active in the system, and it is fast! To activate PAGEONE,
- simply type PAGEONE from the DOS ready prompt, after loading any other resident
- programs.
-
- Minimum system requirements for using this program are: IBM PC or compatible
- type computer with minimum of 128K bytes of memory*, DOS 2.0 or greater,
- an 80 column monitor and 1 floppy drive. A printer is recommended.
-
- As a point of interest, please note that all documentation for PAGEONE
- was created with PAGEONE.
-
- *If DOS SHELL feature invoked, 256K will be needed for most applications.
-
- 1.1--INSTALLING PAGEONE ON YOUR SYSTEM
-
- PAGEONE is distributed on a standard 9 sector MSDOS format diskette.
- For use, all that needs to be done is transfer the files on the diskette
- to a DOS diskette using the commands that are appropriate to your system.
- Then store your original diskette is a safe place in case of need.
-
- page 2
-
-
-
-
- TURBO LIGHTNING from Borland International works very well with PAGEONE. Load
- it prior to PAGEONE and pull down the enviornment section. Choose one of the
- environments that you do not have a program for and modify it, naming it
- PAGEONE. Change the key assignments to your system if necessary. The following
- changes must be made for PAGEONE. Item "M" should be set to "screen", item
- "N" to "050", and item "P" to item "C" on the secondary menu. Since this
- program uses alternate key combinations there is no conflict with the normal
- PAGEONE function key assignments.
-
- 1.2--FUNCTION KEYS USED IN PAGEONE
-
- Material in the angle brackets < and > indicates a key.
-
- Following is a list of the function keys as they are used in PAGEONE:
-
- <F1> to delete a line, cursor must be on the first space of the line.
-
- <F2> or <enter> to place an end of line (EOL) marker. (see subfunction
- list below)
-
- <F3> to exit the edit mode, you will have the option to save your file.
-
- <F4> to create a string of characters horizontally. Any character on the
- keyboard can be used in this string, the cursor must be on the first
- space of the line.
-
- <F5> to load or dump the cut & paste buffer. Cursor must be on the first
- space of the line. First use marks the start as the line indicated
- by the cursor, second use marks the end as the line above the line
- indicated by the cursor. Place cursor on first space of the new first
- line, and press <CTL><F5> to dump. The block will overwrite any text
- that is under it, so use care.
-
- <F6> to set the margins (1, 2, 10, 0, etc.), cursor on the first space of
- the line.
-
- <F7> to insert a blank line at cursor, cursor must be on first space of
- the line.
-
- <F8> deformats a line. Removes all formatting that has been placed in the line
- by the subfunctions of <F2>. The line can then be reformated as you wish.
- The cursor must be on first space of the line. <CTL><F8> may be used to
- deformat the entire file in memory. Cursor on the first space of file.
-
- <F9> get a directory listing, this version supports full pathnames, wildcards
- and hard disk.
-
- <F10>pulls down a function menu. Most PAGEONE functions can be done by using
- this menu.
-
- SUBFUNCTIONS OF <F2>:
-
- <C> centers the line you are currently working on.
-
- <J> justify the current line, out to the margins on both ends.
-
- <L> or <enter> sets current line left flush on margin, results in what is
- called "ragged right" composition.
-
- <R> sets current line flush on right margin, results in "ragged left"
- composition.
- page 3
-
-
-
-
- USES OF OTHER KEYS:
-
-
- Since PAGEONE is always in the overtype mode, character keys will replace the
- character or space under the cursor. The unshifted arrow keys will move the
- cursor to any place you desire on the screen. The <control><right arrow>
- keys will move the cursor to the beginning of the next line.
-
-
- The <enter> key is used to terminate input only in the margin setting, file
- handling, color monitor, printer ready routines and end of line markers.
- All other entries are immediate.
-
-
- The <esc> key when pressed from within the edit screens will give you a help
- screen that lists the functions available.
-
-
-
-
-
- The editing keys on your keyboard all work within PAGEONE. Thus you will find
- that <Tab> will move you over to the next even 10 spaces, <Backspace> will
- move you back one space and erase, <Delete> will remove the character
- under the cursor, <Pgdn> will move you to the next video screen unless
- you are on the last one and <Pgup> will move you to the previous video
- screen unless you are on the first one. <Insert> will put you into the insert
- mode and all input from the keyboard will be placed to the left of the cursor.
- <Control><Pgup> will move you to the first character of your document file
- and <Control><Pgdn> will move you to the last character in the file. <home>
- will move you to the first space in the line, <end> will move the cursor to the
- first space past the last character in the line.
-
-
-
- 1.3--COLOR OPTIONS
-
-
-
- When you activate PAGEONE, you will first be asked if you have a color monitor
- on. If you do you will then be allowed to choose the colors for the main
- background, the text on this background, the background of the two status lines
- on the bottom of the screen, the text on them and the color of the messages
- that appear in the message line and the border color. If you do not want to
- change the colors they will default to preset values. If you do not have a
- color monitor on, answer "N" to the first question and the system will default
- to the black and white mode. Then the main menu will come up with your choices.
- The following 7 sections explain each of the 7 menu options in detail.
-
-
-
- 1.4--MENU OPTION 1, CREATING A NEW DOCUMENT
-
-
- Choosing this option will clear all variables and file memory and set you up to
- begin the creation of a new file. You will go to the edit screen and have all
- options at your command. Margins are initially set to 0 left and 0 right and
- can be changed on any line. It is important to leave the amount of blank lines
- you wish to have on top and bottom of the file. If you wish to have three blank
- line at the top of the page and three blank lines at the bottom of the page,
-
- page 4
-
-
-
-
- start your text on line 4 and end it on line 63. You will note that on the left
- side of the status line (24) at the bottom of the screen, there are counters
- for line, character and screen. Let these be your guide. When you exit the edit
- screens you will have the option to save your file.
-
-
-
-
- 1.5--MENU OPTION 2, EDITING AN EXISTING DOCUMENT
-
-
-
-
- Upon choosing this option the screen will clear and you will be asked to enter
- a filespec for the file you want to edit. Filespecs follow MSDOS conventions,
- so if you are unfamiliar with them, read the book! If the file you ask for is
- not available or you enter the spec wrong, you will be prompted to correct it.
- All functions are active in this option, the margins are set to 0 initially.
-
-
-
-
- It is important to remember when editing a file, to use the same margin setting
- used originally if you wish to have a uniform appearance should you reformat a
- line. When you exit the edit screen you will have the option to save your file
- under a new name or <enter> to save back to the same file.
-
-
- 1.6--OPTION 3, PRINTING A DOCUMENT DIRECTLY FROM DISK
-
-
- This option will allow you to print out a file directly from disk without
- disturbing the file you are currently working on in memory. The screen will
- clear and you will be asked for the filespec that you wish to print. The
- restrictions noted in section 1.5 also apply here. It is very important that
- the printer be turned on and actively on line for this option to work properly.
- Set the printer on the actual first line of the page. PAGEONE files are stored
- in formatted form on the disk, so they will print out well using this option.
- When printing is finished, you will be able to go back to the work file.
-
-
- *Note: in this PAGEONE version you have the option of choosing to print more
- than one copy of a document in either direct disk or memory print mode. The
- large files created by the PRINFILE utility program in this version may be
- printed by option 3, but cannot be edited by PAGEONE at this time. If you have
- sufficient memory available, PRINFILE or STYLES can be called and used from the
- DOS SHELL feature of the main menu.
-
-
- 1.7--OPTION 4, PRINTING A DOCUMENT FROM MEMORY
-
-
- This is the printing method that you will probably use most often, as it is
- quicker, easier and will allow printing over and over with changes in copy.
- When you choose this option, the screen will clear and a message will appear
- requesting that you ready the printer for use. Set the printer on the first
- line of the page. Upon termination of printing, you will be returned to main
- menu.
-
-
- page 5
-
-
-
-
-
- 1.8--OPTION 5, RE-EDITING A DOCUMENT IN MEMORY
-
- This option is very useful should you change your mind, or wish to create form
- letters or other documents with changes to each between printings. Upon
- choosing this option you will be placed at the start of the current memory
- file. All functions are active in this option and the file can be saved upon
- exit if desired. If there is no file resident in memory this option will have
- the same effect as choosing option 1 on the main menu except that no space
- blocks will be shown on the screen. If you prefer working without them you may
- enter edit in this way.
-
-
- 1.9--OPTION 6, DISK DIRECTORY LISTING
-
- Option 6 on the main menu will give you a directory listing of the
- directory you choose. Press <enter> for the current directory. Pressing <ESC>
- will return you to the main menu. This option supports full pathnames and
- wildcards.
-
- 2.0--OPTION 7, EXITING PAGEONE
-
- This option is the proper way to exit PAGEONE. You will be returned to DOS
- ready.
-
-
-
- 2.0a--OPTION 0, DOS SHELL
-
- Although it does not show on the main menu (to keep accidents from happening),
- you may enter a DOS SHELL feature of PAGEONE by pressing <0> (zero). Once in
- the shell, you may execute any DOS command or run any program that you have
- sufficient memory for. You may find that if your machine has 128K of memory,
- that you may have some problems with this feature. The best way to find out
- is by experimentation.
-
- There are two error messages, FILE NOT FOUND and INSUFFICIENT MEMORY FOR THIS
- OPERATION. Remember that if you are using a DOS version of less than 3.x, you
- must either have path commands entered or change the directory to where the
- command or program is located prior to running it. To exit this feature, enter
- <Q> on the command line. You will be returned to the main menu.
-
- Both PRINFILE and STYLES can be called from this function.
-
-
- 2.1--SPECIAL PRINTER NOTES
-
-
- PAGEONE is written so that almost any printer that has 80 columns will work
- with it. It should even work well with serial printers as long as you use the
- proper configeration.
-
- Another important point to remember is that the printer should be set to the
- first blank line on the page, not the first print line. If you are using
- perforated printing paper, this means set the printer where it would print on
- the first line after the perforation. If you are printing on single sheets it
- may not be possible to do this. In this case as an alternative, start creating
- your print file on the actual first line of the file, leaving the amount of
- blank lines you want (for top and bottom both) at the end of the file. Then set
- your printer to start printing on the first PRINT line and you will come
- out right.
-
- page 6
-
-
-
-
- Special printer commands can be embedded in PAGEONE documents. The following
- restrictions apply. Printer commands can only be placed in blank lines of the
- document or in the left margins if there is room. Up to four of these command
- sequences can be placed in a line. This means that printer commands cannot be
- placed in full width lines (79 characters). The printer command must be started
- on the first space of the line and have the following form: .wwxxyyzz.
- Thus the command must start with a period (.) followed by eight digits then an
- ending period (.). Most printer commands (you will find them listed in your
- printer book) take the form of <esc> (27) followed by another two digit code.
- The command to disable the linefeed on a DWII printer is thus 2721. If the
- function you desire has only one code, then the rest of the digits must be 0.
- If the code desired is a single digit then it must be preceded by a 0. Thus a
- printer command of 8 would be written as .08000000. As you can see the left
- margin must be at least 10 for insertion of printer commands. These commands,
- if inserted in the margins, must be placed after the line is formatted.
-
-
-
- 2.2--LINE FORMAT NOTES
-
-
- Please note that you start typing all lines at the left side of the screen.
- Lines are formatted using the subfunctions: <J> justifies lines by
- adding spaces between words so that the line is evenly spaced and out to the
- margin on both ends. The formula used for this is very fast and efficient.
- It will even spread two characters to opposite sides of the page as long as
- you have one space between them. Do not leave any trailing spaces on lines
- you intend to justify. Due to word length and column width constraints,
- however, it is recommended that if you use narrow columns, that you
- occasionally hyphenate a word to make for a more natural appearance of the
- printed copy. Otherwise you may find that if you use narrow columns and long
- words, you may have two words on a line with a lot of space between them.
-
-
- The subfunction <C> will center a line on the page. This works best if you
- be sure to have an odd number of characters in your line. The counter will
- make this very easy to do. Do not use leading or trailing blanks if you wish
- your line to center well.
-
-
- The subfunctions <L> (or <enter>) and <R> will set the line either to the
- (L)eft or (R)ight margin of the line. No justification will be done, the line
- will be moved as is. This can sometimes be used to create some dramatic
- effects.
-
-
-
- 2.3--FILE SPECIFICATIONS USED BY PAGEONE
-
-
- PAGEONE uses the normal MS-DOS file specification conventions as put forth in
- the manual from Microsoft. This book is required reading for any file
- operations and if you do not have a copy by all means purchase one.
-
-
-
- The file specifications used are as follows:
-
-
- D:AAAAAAAA.BBB
-
- page 7
-
-
-
-
- Where A indicates an up to 8 character file name, must begin with a letter,
- numbers are allowed after the first character. B indicates an up to 3
- character extension such as .TXT for text. Must be preceded by a period (.).
- D indicates a drive from A to D and must be followed by a colon (:). All
- items in the specification with the exception of A are optional, but make
- for greater clarity when used. Full pathnames are supported under this system.
- The filename 'Q' without an extension must not be used in PAGEONE.
-
-
- 2.3a--PULL DOWN FUNCTION MENU
-
- Pressing <F10> pulls down a function menu that lists most of the functions of
- PAGEONE. To use it, use the arrow keys to place the highlighted bar over the
- desired function and press <enter>.
-
- To exit the menu without executing a function, press <esc>.
-
- Note that although you can set the block markers from this menu, the block
- copy function must be done by the <CTL><F5> key combination.
-
-
- 2.4--CREATING CHARACTER STRING HORIZONTALLY
-
- You can dress up your documents or forms by using this feature of PAGEONE. By
- pressing <F4> you go into the character string mode. You may then enter any
- character from the keyboard followed by <enter> and presto you have a line
- of them margin to margin. You must be on the first space of the line to use
- this function.
-
-
- 2.5--DELETING A LINE
-
- By pressing <F1>, you will delete a line that is indicated by the cursor
- position. The entire file will be moved up one line, opening a blank line at
- the end of the file. You must be on the first space of the line to use this
- function.
-
-
- 2.6--INSERTING A BLANK LINE
-
- By pressing <F7>, you will insert a blank line in the file as indicated by the
- cursor position. The entire file will be moved down one line. If you have any
- copy on the last line of the file (66), it will be lost. You must have the
- cursor on the first space of the line for this function to work.
-
-
- 2.7--INSERTING CHARACTERS WITHIN THE LINE
-
- By pressing the <insert> key, you will be placed into insert mode. Anything
- then typed will be inserted to the immediate left of the cursor. You exit this
- mode by pressing <esc>. This function will work anywhere within the line,
- limited only by the margin settings. For best results, deformat using <F8>
- and then insert, the line may then be reformatted to your liking.
-
-
- 2.8--TO DELETE THE CHARACTER UNDER THE CURSOR
-
- By pressing the <delete> key, you will delete the character under the cursor.
- The line will move over to fill the space. This function works anywhere within
- the line.
-
- page 8
-
-
-
-
- 2.8a--DEFORMATTING, LINE OR ENTIRE FILE
-
-
- By placing the cursor on the first space of a line and then pressing <F8>,
- you will remove all formatting from the line. The margins, and all centering,
- flushing or justification will be removed and the line placed on the left side
- of the screen. You may then edit and reformat the line as you choose.
-
-
- By pressing <CTL><F8> the formatting will be removed from the entire file in
- memory. You must be on the first space of the file for this function to work.
- No text is lost, only margins and extra spaces and the graphics blocks are
- removed. If you do not like working with the graphic space blocks, this is a
- good way to get rid of them---BEFORE FORMATTING ANY TEXT!
-
-
-
- 2.9--LOADING AND DUMPING THE CUT AND PASTE BUFFER
-
-
- One of the most useful functions of the PAGEONE system is the cut &
- paste buffer. This buffer holds up to 66 lines. It is important that you
- use function <F7> to create blank lines where you want to "paste" or they
- will overwrite the lines where you place them. To use this feature, put
- the cursor on the first space of the first line you want to copy, press
- <F5>. This marks the start as the line indicated by the cursor. Then move
- the cursor to the first space of the line past the end of the block you want
- to copy. Pressing <F5> again marks the end as the location indicated by
- the cursor. The buffer is then loaded and ready for use. Move the cursor to
- the first space of the new first line and press <CTL><F5> to copy the block.
- The lines moved have not been erased, they still will exist at the original
- location. You may remove them with <F1> if desired. The popular name for this
- loading and dumping action is "cut" for load and "paste" for dump. Text can be
- copied to another file using this function, as long as you do not exit to the
- system, leaving PAGEONE, in between files.
-
-
-
- 3.0--SETTING THE MARGINS
-
-
- Pressing <F6> will allow you to set the margins. You must be on the first space
- of a line for this function to work. These margins only affect the lines
- entered after they are set. Previously set lines retain the margin they were
- set with. This gives you great flexibility to create varying effects as
- theoretically each line in the file could have a different margin setting.
-
-
-
- On invoking this function, line 23 on the screen will clear and question you as
- to the spaces you wish in each margin. Numbers entered must not be larger than
- the total spaces available in a line. Thus margins of 40 left and 40 right
- would not be accepted as they total more than the 79 maximum spaces available
- in a line. You will be asked to input the left margin first, then the right
- margin. After you have entered both margins, you will be asked if they are
- correct, if not you will be given the opportunity to correct them. When you are
- finished and sure that they are correct, answer "Y" to the last question and
- you will see the new maximum line length appear at the right end of line 23.
- Setting the margins can be done on any line.
-
-
- page 9
-
-
-
-
- 3.1--MOVING THROUGH THE VIDEO SCREENS
-
-
- As noted earlier, as you are entering text and come to the end of a video
- screen, you will automatically be placed at the start of the next screen.
- Counters located on the left side of line 24 give you a constant readout of
- line number, character within-the-line number and screen number. Should you
- wish to move back or forward in the file the following functions can be
- invoked by pressing the indicated key: <pgdn> will move you forward one video
- screen unless you are on the last one, <pgup> will move you back one video
- screen unless you are on the first one, <control><pgup> will take you back to
- the very beginning of the file, with the cursor placed on the first space of
- the file, <control><pgdn> will place the cursor on the last character of the
- file.
-
-
- 3.2--OTHER FUNCTIONS AND KEYS
-
-
- The arrow keys will move the cursor anywhere on the screen. The <control>
- <right arrow> key will move the cursor to the first space on the next line.
-
- PAGEONE is always in the overtype mode, so any character or space key will
- replace what is under the cursor.
-
-
- <F10> use of this function key pulls down a menu of the functions available.
-
-
- <F9> will give a listing of the current directory from within edit. This
- version supports full pathnames and wildcards.
-
-
-
- 3.3--PLACING AND USING THE END OF LINE (EOL) MARKERS
-
-
- End of line markers (EOL) are placed by pressing <F2> or <enter>. This is
- necessary for formatting your lines. Your line for formatting must be equal
- to or less than the line length shown on the right side of line 23. You will
- then be shown the subfunction list on line 23. You may center, justify, right
- flush or left flush your line at this time. The line will be formatted
- according to your choice at this point and the margins added to each end.
-
-
- 3.4--SAVING FILES IN PAGEONE
-
-
- Pressing <F3> will allow you to exit the edit screens. You may then save your
- file under the name you choose. Merely answer "Y" to the question about saving
- file as you exit; if you answer "N" you will be returned to the main menu. If
- you have been editing an old file, the file name will be listed as the current
- file; you can save it back to the same disk file by merely pressing <enter> for
- the file name. Otherwise, enter a new file name following the specifications in
- section 2.2, followed by <enter> to save the file at the prompt.
- If the file exists you will be asked if you wish to overwrite it. It is
- recommended that you save your file often to keep from losing information
- to a power outage or some other reason. It is much easier to save the file
- in this simple way than it is to recreate the information again. When the
- file save is done you will be returned to the main menu. You can then print or
-

-
-
-
-
- re-edit the file as it still will be in memory at this time. The file will
- remain in memory until the system is reset or you choose option (1) on the main
- menu to create a new file.
-
-
-
- 3.5--TYPEWRITER MODE OF PAGEONE
-
-
- In addition to all the formatting features thus far listed, PAGEONE can be
- operated in the typewriter mode for "quick and dirty" notes, letters, etc.
- Simply choose option (1) on the main menu, then type into it just as you would
- on a typewriter. Just press <enter> twice at the end of each line and keep
- typing. When you are finished, this file can be printed or saved as any other,
- the only difference being that the composition will be all "ragged right".
-
-
-
- 3.6--SKELETON FILES WITH PAGEONE
-
-
- A very useful thing you can do with PAGEONE is the creation of skeleton files.
- Suppose you are using PAGEONE to write business letters. Just set up a new file
- and create your own letterhead using the formatting and character string
- features, then save this file to disk with a distinctive name. Then whenever
- you want to write a letter, choose to edit an old file and call in your
- letterhead. You may then fill the file with the letter, below the letterhead
- previously created, and print it out. This saves a lot of keystrokes.
-
-
-
- 3.7--CHAINING FILES FOR PRINTING WITH PAGEONE
-
-
- Using the program PRINFILE that is included on your disk, you may create a
- print queue of up to 20 files for printing at the same time. It can also be
- used to make up to 99 copies of one file. Up to 20 files can also be combined
- into one large file. These files can be printed by PAGEONE, but not edited.
-
-
- 3.8--A SAMPLE SESSION WITH PAGEONE
-
-
- As a sample session with PAGEONE, we recommend the following: Invoke PAGEONE
- by typing PAGEONE at the DOS ready after loading any resident programs needed
- by your system. Choose option (2) on the main menu, to edit an old file. For
- file specification, enter DEMO.TXT. When the file has loaded, page through it
- and examine it to see both how some of the functions work and how they look on
- the screen. Exit the edit mode and do a memory print of the file. Then re-edit
- the file using (5) on the main menu and compare the screen file with the
- printed file. When you have done all of this, then use the file in memory to
- try out the various functions of PAGEONE. In this way you can gain firsthand
- knowledge of the program.
-
-
- 3.9--KNOWN INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH PAGEONE
-
-
- At this time there are no known incompatibilities with PAGEONE, and the files
- produced are compatible with most other word processors.
