APPENDIX A TUTORIAL
.irTutorial;Tutorial - see Appendix A
By following the instructions in these lessons, you will learn how to
use the Word Fugue word processor. Although the lessons don't cover
every aspect of the program, they will provide you with a good working
knowledge of Word Fugue. In this tutorial you will learn the basics
of:
o Making a working disk.
o Creating a file.
o Entering text.
o Saving and exiting.
o Loading an existing file.
o Moving around the screen.
o Changing text.
o Changing margins.
o Copying, moving, and deleting text.
o Finding and replacing text.
o Using Help screens and menus.
o Printing.
To get the most out of this tutorial, you should be familiar with your
computer and with DOS. If your knowledge of these areas is sketchy,
please read "Introduction to Computers and DOS" in the User's Guide
that came with your computer.
If you wish to obtain detailed knowledge of all Word Fugue commands,
you should register. This entitles you to updated versions of Word
Fugue, and the Word Fugue Users Guide. The Word Fugue User's Guide
gives detailed explanations of all Word Fugue commands. Refer to it if
you need more information. As you become an advanced Word Fugue user,
you'll discover powerful word processing techniques not covered in
this tutorial.
The instructions in this tutorial are for a computer with two disk
drives. If your computer has only one disk drive, just change disks
when your computer tells you to. If you have a hard disk, you can do
this tutorial with your floppy disk drive. If you want to (use "C:"
and a subdirectory name instead of "B:", for example). Now you're
ready to start. If you haven't done so already, boot your computer
with DOS. Place your DOS disk in drive A (the left or top disk drive)
and turn on the computer. Enter the date and time if you are asked to.
When the computer is ready, a DOS prompt will appear on the screen.
The DOS prompt looks like this:
A>
Note: The DOS prompt may look like C> if you have a hard disk system.
At the DOS prompt, you can type DOS commands (you'll learn some
of these in the lessons) and the commands to start the Word
Fugue edit program and print program. The notation <Enter> means
that you should press the Enter key (also called the Return key)
after you type the command. You can type DOS or Word Fugue
commands in upper or lower case, or a mixture; it makes no
difference. If you are asked to type text that is shown in quote
marks, type the text but not the quote marks.
The Esc key is the universal cancel key; use it cancel Word
Fugue commands, and to back out of menus. To cancel generation of
indexes or tables of contents you can also press the control key
and the U key at the same time
PCjr Users: The keyboard of the IBM PC contains certain keys that the
PCjr keyboard doesn't. For a function key like F1, press the
PCjr Fn key with the "1" key. For other keys, the PCjr command
is contained in parentheses with the notation PCjr:.
Lesson 1: Making a Working disk
.tc Lesson 1: Making a Working disk ....................#
Never work from the original disks that the program comes on. You
should always back up these disks, and work from the backup disks. The
originals should be put away in a safe place.
To make your copies, you will require 3 blank, formatted floppies.
Place the first Word Fugue disk into drive A, a blank disk into Drive
B, and type
COPY A: B:
When the dos prompt returns, remove those disks, place the second Word
Fugue disk in drive A, another blank disk in drive B, and type the
copy statement again. Do this a third time for the third disk. Please
label your copies so you know which disk is which.
Now you can create a working disk to use for everyday editing and
printing.
Floppy Disk Users
.tc Floppy Disk Users ...............................#
High Density Floppies
If you have a high density 3" or 5" drive, your floppy disk will hold
either 1.4 Meg or 1.2 Meg, and all files will fit on one disk. Simply
use the Dos COPY command to copy all files from the Word Fugue
distribution disks onto a single high density floppy.
Updating the Dictionary will require a second disk containing a copy
of the dictionary, since the update program creates a new copy of the
dictionary, renaming the old one to WF_MAIN.BAK
720K 3" Floppies
This type of disk will fit most of the information on one disk.
Everything you need for day to day use will fit. What you need is:
WF.EXE
WF.OVR
WF.HLP
WF.RLR
*.MAC
your choice of .PDF files
WF_MAIN.LEX
Installation of key strokes will need another (working) disk
containing:
WF.EXE
WFINST.EXE
WF.TXT
Be sure to copy the updated WF.EXE and WF.HLP files to your main disk.
Updating the Dictionary will require a second disk containing a copy
of the dictionary, since the update program creates a new copy of the
dictionary, renaming the old one to WF_MAIN.BAK
360K Floppies
Word Fugue comes on three floppy disks. There is not enough room on
the program disk for the help file. You can run using the disks as
supplied, but you will not be able to use the online Help facility nor
the Spelling checker. If you want to use these facilities, you will
need to give some thought to the organisation of files.
Note that if you wish to use Word Fugue's ability to save changes to
default conditions (eg margins, screen colours etc) you will need to
have the disk containing WF.EXE present
StartUp disk
This should contain
WF.OVR
WF.HLP
WF.RLR
*.MAC
your choice of PDF files
You will need a second drive containing WF.EXE (eg your B
drive), while the startup disk is in drive A. Drive A should
be the default drive (ie the dos prompt should show A:>) and
you would start Word Fugue by entering
B:WF
Once Word Fugue has started, you do not need the disk with the
WF.EXE file in drive B, and can replace it with your data
disk. However, THE DISK IN DRIVE A SHOULD ONLY BE SWAPPED FOR
THE DICTIONARY DISK (see below) WHEN YOU ARE CHECKING
SPELLING, AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AS SOON AS SPELL CHECKING HAS
FINISHED. You will not be able to obtain online help while
checking spelling, because the help file will not be
available.
Dictionary Disk
This should contain WF_MAIN.LEX. This file will almost fill up
the disk. When you want to do spell checking, you would remove
the data disk and replace it with the dictionary disk. As soon
as spell checking has finished, you would remove the
dictionary disk and replace it with the data disk.
.CP5
RAM DISK
If you have a 640K machine, you could load a Ram disk when you
turn on your computer, and copy the WF.OVR and WF.HLP files to
that drive. (Typically E: It must be in your PATH statement) Refer
to your Dos manual for information on setting up a ram disk. You
will need approximately 200K set aside for these files.
With these files loaded into a RAM disk, you can put the disk
containing WF.EXE in drive A, and then replace it with the
dictionary disk as soon as Word Fugue has started. The dictionary
disk should contain
WF_MAIN.DIC
*.MAC
your choice of PDF file
If you have only one 360K drive, you will need to use a Ram disk to
take advantage of Word Fugue's features.
HARD DISK USERS
