to the KwikWrite Tutorial
Before you begin this tutorial, you must make sure the line length for the
editor is set at 79. To do this, press the CTRL key down with one finger, and
while you are holding it down, press the L key once. Then release both keys.
You will be prompted at the bottom of the screen to enter line length. Enter
the number 79 using the number keys at the top of the keyboard, and press the
ENTER key. Also, make sure the cursor pad is NOT in numeric mode.
Now we are ready to go! Locate the "PgDn" key to the right of the keyboard,
and press it TWICE.
KwikWrite Editor
----------------
This tutorial will help you learn about the KwikWrite editor. First we learn
about cursor movement. Locate the arrow keys on the keypad to the right of
the keyboard. Using the arrow keys, move the blinking cursor around on the
screen. Press the "7", "Home" key and the cursor will go to left of the
screen. Press it again, and it will move to the top left of the screen. Move
the cursor to a line with text on it and press the "1", "End" key. The cursor
will jump to the end of the line. Locate the ".", "Del" key below the keypad.
The following word has too many s's...
missspelled
Place the blinking cursor on one of the s's and press the "Del" key once. The
"Del" key deletes one character at a time.
Now locate the "PgDn" key on the numeric pad, and press it twice to page down
to the next lesson screen.
Tutorial, page 2
Locate the "0", "Ins" key on the numeric pad. This time in my text I left
out a word...
I left a word.
Move the cursor to the "a" in "I left a word". Press the "Ins" key. Notice
the "INSERT" message at the top of the screen. Type the word "out ", and
press the Ins key. This will turn the insert mode OFF. The "Ins" key toggles
the insert mode on and off. This time, I have too many words in my text...
I have too too many words.
Place the cursor in the space before the word "too". Locate the "Ctrl" key
on the left side of the keyboard. Using the CTRL key like a shift key, hold
down the Ctrl key, and press "W" once. This causes one word (to the next
blank) to be deleted.
Press the "PgDn" key twice to go to the next screen.
Tutorial, page 3.
The highlighted help line at the bottom of the screen may be changed using
the CTRL-K command. Use this command to change the help line several times.
Change the Help Line until it reads "Esc-Exit, etc." These are Function Key
commands. The function keys are located to the left of the keyboard. Pressing
the function key F1 will allow you to review some "help screens". After
reading this paragraph, press the F1 key. Browse through some of the help
screens, then return by pressing the Esc key. Go to it!
The help screens come in handy when you forget what a command means. The Help
Screens, plus the Help Lines will aid you as you learn to use the editor. We
have already learned about CTRL-W in this tutorial. Another helpful CTRL
command is CTRL-D, which deletes text to the right of the cursor. Place the
cursor on the & in the next sentence, and press CTRL-D.
The Ctrl key is used like a shift key. & the rest of this line is junk.
Press the PgDn key twice to continue the tutorial.
Tutorial, page 4
To end edit, use the "Esc" key located at the upper left of the keyboard.
READ THIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. You will press the "Esc" key, and the
following notice will appear at the bottom of the screen:
Save the Document (Y/N):Yes
Answer by press "N" for No. Then press the Esc key to return to the original
document (this tutorial.)
Generally, when using KwikWrite, you will create a document, then save it
using the F1 "Save" function command. When you save a document, you will be
asked to specify if it is to be PRINTED. If you go directly to printing, you
will be transferred to the PRINT module (KWPR) after the document has been
saved. To get an existing document from disk, and put it in the editor,
use the F5 "Files" function key. If text is already in the Editor, the new
document will be appended to the end of the current workspace. To "start
over" with a new document you would first use the F8 key to clear the current
workspace, and then get the file you wish to edit.
Press "PgDn" twice...
