:CM,^^"POW" SPECIAL CHARACTERS FOR CONTROL\
:BP
^CONTROL ^K PRECEDING A CHARACTER CAUSES THAT CHARACTER TO BE
PRINTED AS IT APPEARS WITH NO DECODING. ^THIS IS USED FOR EXAMPLE
TO PRINT A COLON WHICH IS NORMALLY USED TO INDICATE A COMMAND
FOLLOWING AND THUS IS NOT PRINTED. ^SO, ^^CNTRL K\: WOULD CAUSE
THE PRINTING OF THE COLON.
:BP
^ (^^ASCII 5E)\ IS USED TO INDICATE UPPER CASE SHIFT. ^IF
ONLY ONE IS USED THEN ONLY THE CHARACTER IMMEDIATELY
AFTER IT IS UPPER CASE. ^IF TWO ARE USED, THEN ALL ALPHABETIC
CHARACTERS ARE UPPER CASE UNTIL THE DOWNSHIFT CHARACTER
\ (^^ASCII 5C)\ IS ENCOUNTERED ARE UPPER CASE. ^THERE IS NO
EFFECT ON NON-ALPHABETIC CHARACTERS.

:CM,^^:LF,"N"\
:BP,^LINE ^FEED THE PAGE UP "N" TIMES. ^THIS IS ACTUALLY A

:BP :CM,^^:BP\
:BP,^BREAK FOR A NEW PARAGRAPH. ^SINCE CARRIAGE RETURNS ARE
CONVERTED TO SPACES DURING EITHER TOTAL OR LEFT
JUSTIFICATION, IT IS NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO SPECIFY THE
BEGINNING OF A NEW PARAGRAPH WHILE IN THESE MODES. ^THIS IS
DONE WITH THIS COMMAND. ^THE PROGRAM CLOSES THE PRESENT LINE,
THEN DOES THE SPECIFIED NUMBER OF LINE FEEDS, AND THEN
INDENTS TO THE SPECIFIED POSITION.(^SEE COMMAND :^^DB\ BELOW.)
:BP :CM,^^:DB,1,15\
:BP,^DEFINE THE PARAGRAPH BREAK TO BE A NUMBER OF LINE FEED'S
(DEFAULT = 1) AND AN INDENTION TO THE POSITION SPECIFIED.

:BP :CM,^^:PT,LF,N\
:BP,^DEFINE THE TOP OF THE PAGE TO BE ^^LF\ (^DEFAULT = 10)
LINES LONG, WITH THE TITLE ON LINE ^N. ^IF ^N IS ZERO,
THEN NO TITLE IS PRINTED.^^ LF\ CAN ALSO BE ZERO FOR A

:BP :CM,^^:PB,LF,N\
:BP,^DEFINE THE PAGE BOTTOM. ^SEE :^^PT\ ABOVE.
:BP :CM,^^:TM,POS,TEXT\

A SECTION OF THE TEXT INPUT TO BE SKIPPED OVER WITHOUT
PRINTING.
