SEE LESSON 4 Screen 1

SEE has a print command which prints your document. If you hit Print (Ctrl-F9)
SEE will print from the line you're on to the end of the document. If you want
to print an entire document, use Ctrl-Home to get to the top of the document
and hit Print (menu choice File-Print).

Print accepts arguments. Rectangle widths are ignored, but the top and bottom
are used to specify the pages to print. ESC filename Print causes your document
to be printed to "filename" instead of to PRN:.

SEE has a feature known as Auto-Return. When this feature is on, SEE hits the
return key for you when you're near the right edge of the screen. Usually this
is a good thing, but at times it can be very annoying. Ctrl-A toggles this
feature off and on. Menu choice Options-Auto Justify also works as a toggle.

You can change the name of a document by doing ESC newname Ctrl-Y. This feature
is for people who want to make a new file which is almost identical to some
other file. The document will be saved to disk with the new name; the old name
is immediately forgotten by SEE. This feature is also accessed by hitting Esc,
typing the new file name, hitting keypad "*", and choosing File-Save As.

Put and Paste also take rectangular arguments. However, Put and Paste use these
arguments as a repetition count. For example, use Get to pick up a letter "a"
from somewhere (place the cursor on any "a", click, move right one space, and
hit Get (F3)). Now, move the cursor to just past the ">" below, and click.
Move the cursor down 4 lines and to the right 5 spaces. Now hit Put (F4). Put
makes an array of "a"s five by five.

Now, use Get (F3) to pick up "abc " (move the cursor on the "a", click, move
right to one past the space, and hit Get). Move the cursor back to the ">", and
click. Move down 4 lines and to the right 5 spaces, and hit Paste (Ctrl-F4).
Paste makes copies in an array five by five, and pastes the copies down on top
of the a's, wiping them out. Get, Put and Paste are under menu header Move&Copy.


SEE LESSON 4 Screen 3

Sometimes it will happen that you will click at the wrong place. If this
happens, just move to the right place and click again. SEE will move the mark.
If you happen to click when you didn't mean to, move the cursor to the place
where you clicked, and hit Move (F9, Mouse Right, or menu choice Display-Scroll
Anywhere). This gets rid of the unwanted file mark without making any changes.

Move the cursor so that it is on this "X" and hit Move (F9 or Mouse Right).
Move moves the current line to the top of the screen.

Place the cursor on top of this "X", and click. Now, place the cursor over this
"Y". Hit Move (F9). Move moves the window in any direction. Now hit Return.

Move interprets cursor arguments as: move This character (click), to Here (move
the cursor and hit Move). Return, as you have seen, always restores the file to
the normal unshifted position.

Place the cursor on this "X". If you have a mouse, click the RIGHT button. If
you don't, hit Move. The right mouse button is equivalent to F9, so you can
scroll through a file using only the mouse. Try using the left and right mouse
buttons to quickly move the file up, down, right, and left.

Move can also take a text argument. ESC number Move will make line #number
visible and place the cursor on it. Try doing ESC 5 Move now; then hit PgDn to
return. If you enter garbage, SEE will pick either the top or the bottom of the
file. This feature is for programmers: compilers often report errors in terms
of line numbers.

SEE has control key aliases for some of the most frequently used commands.
These are present for touch-typists who hate to remove their hands from the
keyboard. These are:

^A - AutoJustify ^F - Page Down ALT-HJKL - Jump ^S - Search
^B - Page Up ^G - Get ^O - Open ^U - Back Tab
^C - Close ^I - Tab ^P - Put ^W - Window
^D - Delete ^H,^J,^K,^L ^Q - Mark File ^X - Quote
^E - End Line - Arrow Keys ^R - Restore ^Z - Exit
