DOCUMENTATION FOR REAXEP.BAS
The first screen is the main menu. It will print a directory for any disk by
pressing <CONTROL D>. It will allow you to select light characters on a dark
background or dark characters on a light background. It will also indicate if
the text will be printed normally or with all upper case characters including
inverse characters. This is the only menu that will allow you to quit. The
break key is disabled to prevent a lock up on the status line.
Each prompt has a default value shown in inverse video. If that value is OK,
just press the return key. If not, enter the desired value. If you want to
change the default values, enter = (equal sign) at any of the prompts.
The second screen prompts you for the printing rate. This is actually the
delay in printing between characters and can vary from 0 (no delay) to 50
(maximum delay). Again, if the default value is OK, press return or enter the
desired value.
The third screen prompts you for the drive number containing the text file to
print. Drives 1-8 are recognized. You can also print a disk directory for any
drive by pressing <CONTROL D> at the prompt.
Next you enter the filename of the text file to be read.
When you have entered a valid filename, you will be prompted to print the text
file. You can toggle the printing on/off with any key. (The text will only be
broken at a space)
The printing may be aborted at any time by pressing the Start or Select key.
You can toggle the paging on/off with the OPTION key. (Press any key to resume
printing)
The default menu allows you to change any of the default values in the other
screens. You can save the default values by pressing S.
