Move the cursor to the X below and type in this paragraph.  Don't
press the Enter key, just keep typing.  The object is to see how the
normal typing works.

X

Now move the cursor to this X and press Ctrl \.  This command splits a
line.  Now press Ctrl J.  The line has been rejoined.  Split the line
again, but this time press the Del key.  The Del key will reorganize
the paragraph.

NOTE: As you progress through this file, press the PgDn key when you
      need to see more text.

Move the cursor to this X, press the Ins key, and then press the
period 10 times.  Now press the Backspace key 10 times.  Notice how
the paragraph moves with these actions.  Turn off the Insert mode by
pressing the Ins key again.  Notice that the "I" disappears from the
status area at the top of your screen.


REFORMATTING A PARAGRAPH

      This    paragraph has        purposely been messed up
         so that you may
see the effects               of using   Ctrl R, the reformat
                                                     command.
Move the cursor anywhere
                        within this paragraph and press
        Ctrl R.

Notice that after reformatting a paragraph, the cursor moves to the
beginning of the next paragraph in case you should want to reformat
that paragraph as well.

ERASING and DELETING LINES - "Whoops"

Move the cursor to the X on the line below and then press F6.  This
action erases text below and X xxx yyy zzz www fffff gggg hhhh kkkk
to the right of the cursor.  Now press Ctrl W to bring back the line.
Now press F5 to delete the modified line.

HIGHLIGHTING - COPYING and MOVING

The other basics of editing a file are copying and moving.  PC-Type
has a very wide assortment of these options, but only the most basic
ones will be shown here.

Move the cursor to the X below and press Ctrl L.  Then move the cursor
-W- to the Y below and press Ctrl L again.  You have now "highlighted"
-X- a text area with the simplest highlight type.  This area is now
-Y- marked for further action.  First we will try to copy.  Move the
cursor to the Z below and then press Ctrl C.  Next press Ctrl D
(delete the highlight).
-Z-
Now try a move.  Highlight the X and Y lines again with Ctrl L's, move
the cursor to the W line above, and press Ctrl M.  Things should now
be where they were at the beginning.

These are the simplest moves and copies.  Of course you can move
words, sentences, and even blocks of text surrounded by more text.

PRINTING

Now let's attempt to print this file.  Position the file so the line
below is at the top of your screen.

                                           Press F2 - select (P)rint.
                                           Press Enter to activate the
                                           output field.  Press F6 and
                                           then type JUNK and press
                                           Enter.

                                           Move the highlight to the
                                           "Amount to print:" line and
                                           press Enter until the
                                           selection "ALL" appears.
                                           (Arrow keys move highlight)


                                           You are now ready to print
                                           this file to the disk file
                                           JUNK.  (Normally you would
                                           print to LPT1, the parallel
                                           printer port.)

                                           Press F10 and begin the
                                           print.   Press PgDn.


QUITTING / SAVING

You have by now become adept at quitting a file.  Press F4 again, but
this time when asked "Are you sure?" press the N key.  You are brought
back to here.

Now let's save this file under a different name - JUNK.PCT.

Press F9 to save the file.  The cursor will move to the Command Line
and the filespec will be displayed.  Erase the line with F6, type
JUNK.PCT and press the Enter key.  Since the .PCT extension implies
that this will be a document type file, you are asked to enter a file
reminder.  Type "junk file made from SAMPLE.TXT" and press Enter.
