1240Dear ^,
1260
@1280[This letter is an example of the use of the MERGE command
>1300to merge names, addresses, and data into a letter from a
I1320BASIC program. The File contains records of variable length but up
G1340to 250 bytes long. Each record is broken up into substrings by a
B1360+ sign. The substring is merged into the letter anywhere an
J1380up-arrow is found. The data will be inserted here -^- for instance.
G1400If there are more substrings than up-arrows, the extra substrings
C1420will be ignored so that each letter begins with a new record.
B1440If there are fewer substrings than up-arrows, the additional
>1460up-arrows will be ignored like this^ and not be printed.
>1480The text must be arranged so that the inserted data fits
71500on one line and does not span two ore more lines.
F1520You do not have to use the REPEAT command since the program will
>1540automatically print one copy for each record in the file
>1560and stop at the end. If you enter control-C to stop the
'1580printing or to rerun it, you must
'1600enter MERGE again with the proper
F1620file name and before you can print again. There must not be any
M1640numeric data in the file...only strings less than 256 characters long.]
1660
21680 Sincerely,
1700
