CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED
The instructions in this User's Guide 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, modify the
instructions as appropriate. Whenever this User's Guide says "B:",
substitute "C:" (and a subdirectory name, if necessary).
The notation <Enter> means that you should press the Enter key after
you type the command. The Esc key is the universal cancel key; use it
to cancel Word Fugue commands.
If you have only one disk drive, you should load the program, then
change the disk to the data disk. Word Fugue is a memory editor, so it
loads all the file into memory. However, you will need to copy the
overlay file (WF.OVR) and your chosen Printer Definition File
(????.PDF) to the data disk. If you need help, you will have to copy
the help file (WF.HLP) from the program disk, or swap to the program
disk, before you press the Help key. Checking spelling can also be
done by swapping to the dictionary disk before you start checking
spelling. Remember to swap back to the data disk before you save your
file. If you have a large capacity floppy drive (1.2M or 1.44M) then
you should put all required files on the same disk.
A tutorial is supplied at the back of this manual (Refer to Appendix
A). If you are new to Word Processing, you should go through this
tutorial once you have installed the programs. If you are an
experienced user, you should skim the rest of this manual to get a
feel for the commands and functions, and start using the program.
.tc Backup Your Disks ..................................#

.ix Backing Up Originals
Word Fugue comes on two disks in compressed format. Look at the file
READ.ME on the Word Fugue program disk for any last minute changes.
The file UPDATE.DOC contains details of any updates to the program
that did not make it into this manual. You can run the program
README.COM that comes on the installation disk to browse the READ.ME
file:
README README.1
will display a full screen from the READ.ME file. The arrow keys
will move up and down, as will the page up and page down keys. Press
ESC when you have finished.
To make backup Word Fugue disks:
1. Format two blank disks with the DOS FORMAT command.
2. Place the original Word Fugue program disk in drive A, and the
new, formatted disk in drive B. Copy all the original Word Fugue
files to the new disk by typing at the DOS prompt:
COPY *.* B: <Enter>
.CP5
3. Place the Word Fugue utility disk in drive A, and a new formatted
disk in drive B. Copy the original files to the new disk by
typing at the Dos Prompt
COPY *.* B: <Enter>
4. Label the backup disks and store the originals in a safe place.
If you have only one floppy disk drive, refer to the manual that
camw with your computer for instructions about how to make copies of
the disks.
.tc Install on Floppy Disk .............................#
Install On Floppy Disk
.imInstallation
.ix Floppy Disk
Word Fugue comes in compressed format to save on disks. The
installation program automatically unpacks the compressed files.
You place the installation disk into your floppy disk
drive and make that the default drive. (If it is drive A then type
in A: followed by Enter, if it is B then type B: followed by Enter).
Type in
INSTALL
and follow the instructions of the installation program. You will be
asked which drive to install to, the directory to install to, and
whether you are updating a previous version. Once you have answered
these questions, the installation program will commence unpacking
the files.Before unpacking each compressed file, the installation
program checks to ascertain whether the destination disk has
sufficient room. If there isn't, you will be prompted to place a
formatted disk in the destination drive.
Once the unpacking has finished, you will be asked to enter your
name and serial number, and then Word Fugue will be configured with
the destination drive and directory as the default path for its own
files.
At this point, Word Fugue is installed. No matter the size of your
disks, you should be able to run the program. However, read the
discussion below about which files should be where, because you may
like to re-arrange the files to suit your purposes better.
High Capacity Drives
If you have a large capacity floppy drive (1.2M or 1.44M) then you
can put all required files on the same disk. Thus if you have 2
floppy drives, you can have a Word Fugue disk and a data disk. You
should make the drive containing the Word Fugue disk the default, or
install Word Fugue (using Global file options on the menu) to refer
to the appropriate floppy disk.
3" Drive
If you have a 720k 3" drive, you can put the required files onto one
floppy disk:
WF.EXE
WF.OVR
WF.HLP
*.MAC
WF.RLR
WF_MAIN.DIC
your choice of Printer Definition File (.PDF)
To run the installation program, you will need a separate disk
containing only
WFINST.EXE
WF.EXE
WF.TXT
and copy the re-installed WF.EXE & WF.HLP to your working disk.
360k Floppies
If you have only 360k floppies, you can fit
WF.OVR
WF.HLP
*.MAC
WF.RLR
your choice of Printer Definition File (.PDF)
onto one disk,
WF_MAIN.DIC
WF.OVR
onto a second disk, for use when you wish to spell check a document,
but you will need a separate disk (or RAM disk if you only have one
drive) to store WF.EXE for the purposes of starting the program. You
will not be able to Save Options unless that disk is available.
If you have 2 floppy drives, you will have to swap disks if you want
to utilize the spelling checker, since the dictionary requires a
disk of its own. You should write your text files to drive B, and
put the dictionary in drive A when you want to utilize it. The
Overlay file is on both disks, so you can do this.
An alternative is to copy the overlay file (WF.OVR) and the help
file (WF.HLP) to a ram disk. You will still need a startup disk, but
you can leave it in drive A until you wish to spell check your
document, whereupon you will need to replace it with the dictionary
disk.
If you have only one floppy disk, you will need a data disk with the
overlay file (WF.OVR) on it, and the printer definition file
(???.PDF) on it, and swap this disk in whenever you want to save the
file or print it. (It must be saved to print). Since Word Fugue
works on the file in memory, once you have read in the file, you can
swap the data disk out and either the dictionary disk or the system
disk back in. If you wish to be able to utilise the help command,
then the help file must also be on each disk. You may find that you
have to set up a ram disk as described in the previous paragraph,
and swap your startup disk for your data disk or your dictionary
disk as required.
You may wish to configure your program to make it easier for you to
use. Refer to Chapter 2 for more information on this.

At this point, Word Fugue is installed. You may wish to configure
your program to make it easier for you to use. Refer to Chapter 2
for more information on this.
Be sure to include the directory name in your PATH statement. (Refer
to the DOS manual that came with your computer if you are unsure
about this.)

The compressed files are in the industry standard PKZIP format, and
can be unpacked by PKUNZIP.EXE, a copy of which is supplied on your
disks. To extract a single file, you would type
PKUNZIP -x ZIPFILE filename
where ZIPFILE is the name of the compressed file which contains the
file you want (refer to the readme file for a list of
files in each compressed file)
filename is the name of the actual file you want to extract.
Running PKUNZIP without any parameters will display a help screen.
PKUNZIP is shareware from PKWARE

.tc DesqView Users .....................................#
DesqView Users
Word Fugue runs under DesqView from Quarterdeck systems. When
setting up the application definition under DesqView, you should:
■ Give Word Fugue a minimum of 330K in which to run. Allow more if
you can, up to the maximum available. The more memory you have,
the less likely you are to run into problems (ie run out of
memory) while using Word Fugue. Editing, spell checking,
generating tables of contents, printing and so on all take
working memory.
■ If you have QEMM or QRAM giving you Expanded memory (ie LIM
standard memory), allow at least 120K for loading the overlay
file, which will speed up operations.
■ Check the box "Writes directly to the Screen"
If you do not have a 386 machine, you will not be able to
"virtualize" the screen (ie run in a small window) unless you
include the run time parameter /G (capital letter!!) to cause Word
Fugue to use Bios for all screen IO. It will be somewhat slower, but
you will be able to virtualize the program. (You can then type N for
"Writes directly to the Screen").
Those of you who have a 386 machine, DesqView can virtualize Word
Fugue without needing to resort to any parameters.
.tc Windows Users ......................................#
Windows Users
Word Fugue works well with all of Window's modes (Real, Standard &
386 Enhanced). With Real mode, you will need to ensure that there is
sufficient memory available to trun the program. You need a minimum
of 330k available (you may be able to get away with less, but you
will find that some features do not work), but obviously 500k is
better.
We have provided 2 Windows 3.0 PIFs file (WF.PIF & WF-G.PIF) and two
Windows 3.0 icons - WF.ICO (for colour displays) and WF-MONO.PIF
(for monochrome displays).
If you are running Windows 3.0 in Real or Standard modes, you must
use the Word Fugue startup parameter /G (capital letter !!). If you
don't, Windows may hang if you switch away from and then return to a
Word Fugue Window. If you are running Windows in 386 enhanced mode,
there is no problem - you do not need the /G option. However, if you
change Windows modes, we recommend that you use the /G parameter, so
that Word Fugue will operate correctly in all modes.
.CP10
There are 2 ways to configure Windows for Word Fugue:
1. The first is to use the file manager to install a new program
■ Select New from the File Menu in the program manager.
■ Select Program Item and click on OK
■ Type in the description "Word Fugue".
■ Type in the command line "C:\WF\WF.EXE /G
■ If you want to use the Word Fugue icon, click once on the
Change Icon button, enter the full drive and pathname of WF.ICO
(or WF-MONO.ICO), and click OK
■ Select Save from the File menu
2. The second approach is to use the WF.PIF (or WF-G.PIF if you need
the /G parameter) supplied.
■ Click on the Main window
■ Select New from the File menu in the program manager
■ Enter "Word Fugue" for the description
■ Enter the full pathname for the WF.PIF file for the command
line. For example:
c:\windows\wf.pif
■ If you want to use the Word Fugue icon, click once on the
Change Icon button, enter the full drive and pathname of WF.ICO
(or WF-MONO.ICO), and click OK
■ Select Save from the File menu
You can use the PIF editor to customize the WF.PIF file to your
liking.

The top line is reserved for messages.
The third line is the ruler line which can be turned off. Refer to
Chapter 10 for more information on Ruler Lines.
The second line is the status line proper. Not all the fields will
appear:
Z only shows if this window is Zoomed - that is, it is set
to cover the entire screen,regardless of the number of
windows open. If you only have one window open, you will
normally not see this field.
MANUAL.DOC This is the name of the file you are editing. You will
not see MANUAL.DOC unless you are editing a file called
that.
■ This only shows if the file has been modified.
Ins This shows that you are in INsert mode.
Ovr This shows when you are in overwrite mode.
Wrap This indicates that Word Wrap is on. Text you
Para type will be wrapped around to the next line when you
type beyond the boundaries of the current line. If this
status display is blank, the line will not wrap unless
you press return. If it shows PARA then the text will
automatically reformat as you type, while if it shows
WRAP, you will have to use the paragraph reformat
command if you wish to have the paragraph reformatted.
Just This shows that the text you are typing will be right
justified, that is the right hand side will line up with
the right margin, and extra spaces will be inserted to
make the margins even. This paragraph is an example of
Right Justification, while all the other paragraphs are
not justified. If JUST does not show then text will not
be justified when it is wrapped or reformatted.

Page This indicates the page number of the document you are
processing. It will not show unless pagination is on
(refer to Page Breaks). When Page breaks are on, the
line number shown is the line number within the page,
otherwise it is the line number from the start of the
file.
Cols This shows whether or not you are in Column Mode or
C Rep Column replace mode. Refer to Column mode for more
information.

If Word Fugue needs information from you, it prompts you by opening a
window for you to enter information into. The information you provide
is the response. Prompts appear in response to certain editing
commands:
■ Some prompts require that you press a single key.
■ For other prompts, you respond by typing a file name or other text.
The first time most prompts of this type appear, there is a blank
response. When you change the response, it stays in the computer's
memory until you change it again or exit the program. There are
three ways to respond to this kind of prompt:
■ You can press the Enter key to use the current response if there
is one.
■ You can type a new response, then press Enter. The cursor is
located at the first character of the current response; as you
begin to type, the current response disappears. Press the Enter
key when you are done typing.
■ You can edit the current response. Move the cursor past the first
character in and begin to edit, or delete the first character
with the Del key, then edit. Press Enter when you're done.
You can enter editing commands directly from the keyboard, or use
one of Word Fugue's menus to help you. There are eight menus.
To bring up the Main Menu:
■ Press Function key F10
You will see the ruler line and status line and first line of text
disappear, and the top level of the pull down menus will appear in
their place.
To bring up the Second Level Menu:
■ Press the letter corresponding to the Capital letter in the
keyword or use the arrow keys to highlight the keyword, and press
enter
.CP5
To select an option from one of the pulldown menus:
■ Press the letter corresponding to the Capital letter in the
keyword or use the arrow keys to highlight the keyword, and press
enter
To return to the previous level Menu:
■ Press Esc.
To access the Help screens:
■ Press F1 once. This will work both from the main edit window and
from the pulldown menus. The help displayed is context sensitive.
■ Move through the help screens by means of the PgUp and PgDn keys.
To return to the previous level, press Esc.
You perform most of the Word Fugue editing commands by pressing
combinations or sequences of keys. If a command requires a combination
of keys, they are shown in this manual as a unit. For instance, Ctl F1
means you press the Ctl key and hold it while you press the F1 key. If
a command requires a sequence of keys, they are shown in this manual
following each other. For instance, Ctl Q then R means that you press
the Ctl key and hold it while pressing the Q key, let it up, then
press the R key.
Word Fugue edits entirely in memory. This makes for fast processing,
but it can restrict you if you have only a small amount of memory. You
can edit as large a file as will fit in memory, and this has
advantages if your disk becomes too full, or if you are working from
floppies only, since you can remove your data disk and replace it with
another.
To save a file when the disk is full:
1. Remove the full disk and replace it with one that has enough
room.
2. Try the save again.

If you are new to Word Processing, refer to the Tutorial in
appendix A, and go through it using Word Fugue.
