& 1 TOP OF FILE Keystroke sequence:
Alternate keystrokes: The cursor is moved to the first character in the file. BOTTOM OF FILE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: The cursor is moved past the last character in the file. GO TO LINE NUMBER Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The cursor will be repositioned to the specified line numberof the current window. A prompt box will request the targetline number. Enter any number from 1 to 32767. If the valueis preceded by a plus (+) or minus (-) sign, the target linenumber will be calculated relative to the current line. GO TO COLUMN NUMBER Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The cursor will be repositioned to the specified columnnumber of the current line. A prompt box will request thetarget column number. Enter any number from 1 to 999. If thevalue is preceded by a plus (+) or minus (-) sign, thetarget column number will be calculated relative to thecurrent column. GO TO WINDOW Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The cursor will be moved to the current position in anotherwindow on the screen. If only one window is available,nothing will happen. Otherwise a menu will appear, showingthe available windows, and the files currently in each one.Select one of these choices by moving the selection bar orby pressing the number of the desired window. UNDO LAST DELETION Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The line of text most recently deleted will be inserted intothe current text stream at the cursor position. Note thatthis applies only to complete lines of text, and not tocharacter or word deletions. By default, 20 lines of deletedtext are stored for possible undeletion. The undo limit canbe adjusted via a Setup command. RESTORE LINE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The current line of text will be restored to its appearancejust prior to when the cursor was moved onto the line. Thecursor position will also be restored to the value when itentered the line. SEARCH FOR PATTERN Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The current window will be searched to find a specifiedsequence of text. When the pattern is found, the cursor willbe positioned at the beginning of the pattern, and thematched text highlighted until the next keystroke.A prompt box will allow entry of the text pattern and searchoptions. Enter any text or control characters just as theywould be typed in the body of the file. Search options control the behavior of the search. Thefollowing options are available: U - ignore case (Upper-case) while searching B - search Backwards from the cursor position. W - search for whole Words only. G - search Globally, starting at the beginning of the file (or end, if searching backwards). L - search Locally (only within marked block). n - search for the nth occurrence of the string (n is an integer). Enter the following sequence of keystrokes to search for theend of each text line: . Thissequence enters Carriage return/Line feed into the searchpattern.Note that each pattern must be found within a single line.No match may span multiple lines. SEARCH AND REPLACE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The current window will be searched for a specified sequenceof text. When the pattern is found, it will be replaced withanother specified text sequence.A prompt box will allow entry of the search text,replacement text, and search options.

Thefollowing options are available: U - ignore case (Upper-case) while searching B - search Backwards from the cursor position. W - search for whole Words only. G - search Globally, starting at the extreme end of the file. L - search Locally (only within marked block). N - do Not prompt for confirmation when the pattern is found. n - replace n occurrences of the string (n is an integer). If the N option is not specified, a prompt will occur eachtime the search pattern is found. This prompt will providethe following options: Y - replace this text and continue searching. N - do Not replace, but continue searching. A - replace this text and replace All others without prompting. Q - do not replace, and Quit searching. Enter the following sequence of keystrokes to search for theend of each text line: . Thissequence enters Carriage return/Line feed into the searchpattern. SEARCH AND USE MACRO Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The current window will be searched for a specified sequenceof text. When the pattern is found, the cursor will berepositioned to that location, and a specified macro will beplayed back. A prompt box will allow entry of the search text, macroselection, and search options. Enter any text or controlcharacters just as they would be typed in the body of thefile. The macro must have been defined prior to using thesearch and apply macro command. Search options control the behavior of the search. Thefollowing options are available: U - ignore case (Upper-case) while searching B - search Backwards from the cursor position. W - search for whole Words only. G - search Globally, starting at the extreme end of the file. L - search Locally (only within marked block). N - do Not prompt for confirmation when the pattern is found. n - apply macro for n occurrences of the search string (n is an integer). If the N option is not specified, a prompt will occur eachtime the search pattern is found. This prompt will providethe following options: Y - apply macro and continue searching. N - do Not apply macro, but continue searching. A - apply macro and apply at All matches without prompting. Q - do not apply macro, and Quit searching. Enter the following sequence of keystrokes to search for theend of each text line: . Thissequence enters Carriage return/Line feed into the searchpattern. SEARCH AGAIN Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The previous search operation will be repeated. This willrepeat a plain search, a search and replace, or a search andapply macro command. OPERATING SYSTEM Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)Any DOS command or program may be executed. A prompt boxwill ask for the name of the command or program to run.Entering an empty line at the prompt box will cause a DOSshell to be invoked. You may execute any sequence of DOScommands from the shell, and finally return to the editor bytyping Exit. The DOS shell requires that a copy of COMMAND.COM be presentin the normal drive and directory assigned by DOS.Sufficient random-access memory must be available for theshell and any command that you specify.Do not execute any program that becomes memory residentwhile within the DOS shell. BACKWARD TAB Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The cursor will be moved to the next tab left of the currentposition. This command is available only in fixed tab mode. EDIT ANOTHER FILE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The current window will be cleared, and a prompt box willask for the name of another file to edit. If the currentwindow already holds a file that has been modified, you willbe given the opportunity to save it. When prompted for a file name, you may enter DOS wildcardsor the name of another drive or subdirectory. In this case,another window will display the names of all matching files.You can select from this list by using the cursor keypad, orby pressing the first letter of the filename in which youare interested.By entering an empty line for the file name, you can edit afile without specifying a name for it. A name can bespecified later when you want to write it out to disk. FILE QUIT Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The editing session will end and you will return to DOS. Ifany windows have been modified, prompt boxes will appear andyou will be given the opportunity to save each modifiedfile. If you type at any of the prompt boxes, theFILE QUIT command will be interrupted and you will return tothe current text window. READ BLOCK FROM FILE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)A prompt box will ask for the name of a file to read. Thisfile will be read into the current window, starting at thecurrent cursor position. The newly read text will be markedas a block. When prompted for a file name, you may enter DOS wildcardsor the name of another drive or subdirectory. In this case,another window will display the names of all matching files.You can select from this list by using the cursor keypad, orby pressing the first letter of the filename in which youare interested. SAVE AND CONTINUE EDIT Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: The contents of the current window will be saved to disk,using a file name the same as when the file was first read.If the file has not been named, a prompt box will ask for anew name. If the disk file already exists, a backup copywill be made before overwriting the existing version. Thecursor will remain in place after the file is written todisk. WRITE BLOCK TO FILE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The currently marked block will be written to a disk file.If no block is marked, an error message will be produced. Ifthe disk file already exists, you will be given the choiceof overwriting it or appending to it. FILE OPEN Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: A prompt box will ask for the name of a new file to read. Ifanother file is already being edited, the current windowwill be split in half, and the new file will be read intothe new window.By specifying a file name that matches an existing window,you may look at two regions of the same file. Changes madein one window will affect all other windows which containthe same file. When prompted for a file name, you may enter DOS wildcardsor the name of another drive or subdirectory. In this case,another window will display the names of all matching files.You can select from this list by using the cursor keypad, orby pressing the first letter of the filename in which youare interested.By entering an empty line for the file name, you can edit afile without specifying a name for it. A name can bespecified later when you want to write it out to disk. RESIZE WINDOW Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)Use this command to change the height of the current window.The up and down arrow keys will move the window dividinglines. Press when the window has the desired size. SAVE/SWITCH FILES Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The file in the current window will be stored to disk. Aprompt box will then ask for the name of another file toedit. The new file will be read into the current window. Allwindow sizes will remain the same. When prompted for a file name, you may enter DOS wildcardsor the name of another drive or subdirectory. In this case,another window will display the names of all matching files.You can select from this list by using the cursor keypad, orby pressing the first letter of the filename in which youare interested.By entering an empty line for the file name, you can edit afile without specifying a name for it. A name can bespecified later when you want to write it out to disk. NEXT WINDOW Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: The cursor will be moved to the current position in the nextwindow down on the screen. If the cursor is already in thelowest window, it will move to the topmost window. If thereis only one window, nothing will happen. ZOOM WINDOW Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: The current window will grow to fill the screen. Other textwindows are kept in memory, but are not visible until zoomis toggled off. The Next window and Previous window commandswill bring each window to the forefront in succession. Textmarkers and blocks may be accessed as usual in the hiddenwindows. The only exception is block delete: a block willnot be deleted from a hidden window. When zoom is active, a letter Z will appear at the left edgeof the window status line. Toggling the zoom command againwill make all windows visible. BLOCK BEGIN Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: The cursor position will become the start of a marked block. BLOCK END Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: The cursor position will become the end of a marked block. START OF BLOCK Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The cursor will be moved to the start of the current block,whether it is visible or not. END OF BLOCK Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The cursor will be moved to the end of the marked block,whether it is visible or not. BLOCK COPY Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)A copy of the marked block will be inserted at the currentcursor position. BLOCK MOVE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The marked block will be removed from its current locationand inserted at the current cursor position. BLOCK DELETE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The marked block will be deleted from the text stream. Ifthe block spans more than one line, the deleted lines may berecovered via the Undelete command. HIDE BLOCK Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The on-screen highlighting of the marked block is toggled onor off. Blocks can be copied, moved, or deleted only whenthe block is visibly marked. Movement to block start or endis possible even when the block is not visible. LOAD MACROS FROM DISK Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)A previously stored file of EagleWord keyboard macros isloaded into memory. The macro file is a binary file in aspecial format used by EagleWord. Macros may be recorded,edited, and stored to disk from within EagleWord. Each macrofile contains ten macros, each of which may hold up to 255keystrokes. EagleWord automatically loads the macro fileEW.MAC, if found, when the program is started. STORE MACROS TO DISK Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)The current set of EagleWord keyboard macros is written to adisk file. A prompt box will ask for a file name. The macrofile is a binary file in a special format used by EagleWord.Macros may be recorded, edited, and stored to disk fromwithin EagleWord. Each macro file contains ten macros, eachof which may hold up to 255 keystrokes. EagleWordautomatically loads the macro file EW.MAC, if found, whenthe program is started. TOGGLE MACRO RECORD Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)Any keystrokes entered after this command is activated arestored within a keyboard macro, which may be edited andlater played back within EagleWord. To stop macro recording,enter this command a second time. A prompt box will ask forwhich of the ten macros should store the newly recorded one,and for a descriptive name for the macro.Each macro can hold up to 255 keystrokes. Macros can playback other macros. Macros are played back by pressing one of the installed keystroke combinations, or by choosing theEagleWord Macro Playback option from the menu system. One of the macros is somewhat special. This macro is calledthe "scrap". Whenever a new macro is recorded, it writesover the scrap macro. The current scrap macro can be playedback once or many times using other macro commands. GET INFORMATION Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)Various facts about EagleWord and the current file aredisplayed. Information shown includes the complete path nameof the current file; its size in bytes, words, lines, andpages; whether it has been modified since last disk save;the time and date; available RAM and disk space; the currentdirectory; and the DOS and EagleWord version numbers.Some of the statistics that EagleWord presents take a whileto compute. By pressing any key while the Get Info window is being updated, you can "short-circuit" the computation ofsome items. TOGGLE INSERT MODE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: When insert mode is active, newly typed text is insertedinto the current text line, pushing characters to the rightof the cursor aside to make room. When insert mode is off,newly typed text overwrites existing text. Many commands,such as block copy and insert line, operate in insert modeindependent of the setting of this toggle. TOGGLE AUTOINDENT MODE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)When autoindent mode is active and the key ispressed, the new line of text will be indented the samenumber of spaces as the line immediately above it. Thesetting of this toggle also affects the operation of theparagraph reformatting command. TOGGLE CASE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The case of the character at the cursor location will betoggled from upper to lower, or from lower to upper. If ablock is marked and visible, and the cursor is anywherewithin the marked block, the command will toggle the case ofthe entire block. LOWER CASE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The case of the character at the cursor location will be setto lower-case. If a block is marked and visible, and thecursor is anywhere within the marked block, the command willchange the case of the entire block. UPPER CASE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The case of the character at the cursor location will be setto upper-case. If a block is marked and visible, and thecursor is somewhere within the marked block, the commandwill change the case of the entire block. SET RIGHT MARGIN Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)A prompt box will ask for a new value for the right margin.Entering an empty prompt string will set the right margin tothe current cursor column. The right margin is used onlywhen Word Wrap mode is active. When that is so, text enteredin a column beyond the right margin will automatically bewrapped to the next line. Paragraph formatting will movewords so that lines are as full as possible within, but notexceeding, the right margin. FORMAT PARAGRAPH Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)Format paragraph is available only when Word Wrap mode isactive. Paragraph reformatting will move words so that linesare as full as possible within, but not exceeding, thecurrent left and right margins. If Justify mode is active,the lines will also be evenly filled with spaces so that therightmost word ends on the right margin.The paragraph reformat is terminated when a blank line, or aline beginning with a format character (@), is reached. TOGGLE WORD WRAP Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)When Word Wrap mode is active, paragraph reformatting andautomatic word wrap are available. Otherwise, left and rightmargin settings are ignored, and text may be entered in anycolumn up to the maximum line length. SET LEFT MARGIN Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)A prompt box will ask for a new value for the left margin.Entering an empty prompt string will set the left margin tothe current cursor column.When Word Wrap mode is active, the left margin controls theleftmost position where text may be entered. The left marginalso controls the operation of the paragraph formattingcommand. The left and right margins can be made visible by togglingthe Tab Line Display.Print formatting commands require that the format character(@) be located in column 1 even if the left margin is set toa number greater than one. To achieve this, enter the formatcommand starting at the left margin, move the cursor tocolumn 1 with the Left of Line command, and delete theintervening spaces via Delete Word. Alternatively, activatethe Margin Release command while the format command isentered. DISPLAY TABS Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)Toggling Display Tabs ON reserves one line of the currentwindow for display of tab settings and margins. The tabs andmargins can be active whether or not the tab line isvisible. INSERT UNDO BUFFER Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The entire contents of the undo buffer are inserted into thecurrent text stream, prior to the current line. This emptiesthe undo buffer, that is, the operation can be used onlyonce for any set of deletions. TOGGLE JUSTIFY Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)When Justify is active, word wrap and paragraph reformatoperations will cause each line to be filled in with spacessuch that the rightmost non-blank character is exactly onthe right margin. By toggling Justify off, and reformatting lines orparagraphs, the additional blanks will be automaticallyremoved from the text. Note that blanks manually inserted(via the Tab command, etc.) will also be removed, unless theCompress Wrap mode is turned off.EagleWord does not differentiate between "soft" blanks addedduring justification and "hard" blanks manually entered.However, the character may be used in place of anormal blank when non-changing spaces are desired. The will be printed as a normal space. To enter a in the text stream, press . TOGGLE PAGE BREAKS Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)When pagination is activated, the left two columns of thetext window will be devoted to showing page breaks. Thecharacters ¯¯ in those columns indicate that thecorresponding line is the first printing text line on itspage.In addition, the status line for the window will indicatewhat page number the cursor is on. The Jump to Page commandis available only when pagination is activated. EagleWord calculates page numbers while it is waiting foryou to enter keystrokes. As a result, if you enter new textit may take a short period of time before the page breakmarkers are redrawn at their new positions.Although the page breaks displayed on screen correspond tothose in a printout of the document, EagleWord does notstore any special characters in the disk file. Page breaksare recomputed each time the file is read into EagleWord.Pagination can be precisely controlled via the formattingcommands. See the help section for File Print Formatting. TOGGLE FONT DISPLAY Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)When Font Display is enabled, print formatting commands thatcontrol font selections will not be displayed on-screen.Instead the marked text will be displayed in a color orattribute corresponding to the font. This "what you see iswhat you get" mode allows more accurate alignment of tables,and avoids multiple print cycles to correct formattingcommands.The screen colors for each font may be adjusted on the Options Colors menu.When font display is enabled, the control characters thatselect the fonts are not visible. However, the cursor can bepositioned over the control character, and it can be deletedif desired. The EagleWord hardware cursor grows to a largeblock when it is positioned over the control character. Thevalue of the control character will be displayed at theright hand edge of the window status line when the cursor ispositioned over it.EagleWord computes the display of on-screen fonts while itis waiting for you to enter keystrokes. As a result, if youenter new text it may take a short period of time beforecontrol characters disappear and fonts are drawn in their final colors. CENTER LINE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The current line will be centered between the left and rightmargins. This command is active only when Word Wrap mode ison. SET COLORS Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)All of the editor colors can be customized to your liking.Independent color settings are available for normal text,block marked text, window status lines, the prompt line atthe top of the screen, text in menus and prompt boxes, menuframes, the highlighted character by which each menu itemmay be selected, the currently selected menu item, the blockcursor (when active), and each of the five selectable fonts. The colors that you select are saved with EagleWord when youexecute the Options Save setup command. SAVE SETUP Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)The toggles, settings, colors, and options are stored asEagleWord defaults when this command is executed. EW.EXEmust be present in the default directory or in the installedhome directory. PRINT FILE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)Any text file can be printed from within EagleWord. Filesformatted with EagleWord's page layout commands and fontcontrols will print with multiple fonts, headers, footers,and page breaks.Do not press on the first menu selection, Printfile now, until the other items in the box have been set toyour satisfaction. Selecting the first item starts the printjob. After you select the second menu item, Name of file, aprompt box will request entry of the name of the file toprint. When prompted for a file name, you may enter DOSwildcards or the name of another drive or subdirectory. Inthis case, another window will display the names of allmatching files. You can select from this list by using thecursor keypad, or by pressing the first letter of thefilename in which you are interested.If you wish to print a file that is currently loaded inmemory, be sure to save any recent changes to disk beforetrying to print it. If you attempt to print a file that hasunsaved changes, EagleWord will produce an error message. Set Auto formatting OFF if you wish to have EagleWordignore formatting commands (@ commands) in your text. Inthis case, text will print continuously with no form feedsor page breaks. Control codes embedded in the text will bewritten to the output without interpretation.By default, EagleWord prints all pages of the document. Youcan set starting and stopping pages if desired.Select from any of the available printer definition files(default extension .PDF) to find one that is appropriate foryour printer. You can change to another file and useOptions Save setup to regularly use that file.You can also choose between sending the printed output to LPT1, LPT2, or to a file. LPT1 and LPT2 refer to thecomputer port where your printer is attached. If the printeris attached to a serial port, you must use the DOS MODEcommand in order to assign the serial port to one of theprint devices LPT1 or LPT2. Your choice between LPT1 andLPT2 will be saved with EagleWord when you Save Setup.When output is printed to a file, all control codes arewritten out just as when they are printed. In this case, youmust also specify the name of the output file using theprompt window.Set Manual paper feed ON if you wish to have EagleWordprompt you to insert a new sheet of paper after each page.This choice is also stored as part of the printer definition file for your selected printer.Set Use formfeeds ON if your printer accepts ASCIIcharacter #12 to eject each page. Otherwise, EagleWord willfill out the end of each page with blank lines.After making all selections, move the menu bar to the Printfile now item and press . If you decide not toprint, just press . Printing occurs as a backgroundtask. You can continue editing with minimal loss ofperformance while the print job continues.To stop a print job at any time, execute the Print Filecommand sequence. EagleWord will confirm whether you want tostop the print job. PRINTER DEFINITIONSYou can edit and store printer definitions from withinEagleWord, using the File Print menu.Select a printer definition file (default extension .PDF)using the Which printer menu item. EagleWord will loadthis printer file into memory.Any of the command sequences that control various printerfonts can be edited using the Edit printer codes menuselection. Each font is associated with two strings - one toturn the font ON, and another to turn it OFF. When you choose a sequence to edit, it appears in anotherwindow. It can be edited using the cursor keys, and the or keys. Most characters you type willbe inserted literally into the string. willdelete the existing string. will end the sessionin the string editor. In case you need to enter any of thesespecial keys as part of the control string, press the key to enter Literal mode. In this mode, allkeystrokes will be inserted into the string without furtherinterpretation.The printer definition currently held in memory can bestored to a disk file using the Save printer setup menuitem. EagleWord stores the printer command sequences for allfonts, as well as the default settings for manual paper feed and formfeeds, when you save the setup.EagleWord will prompt for a file name when you decide tostore the current definition. The default extension forprinter definitions is .PDF. FLUSH UNDO BUFFER Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The contents of the undo buffer will be deleted, freeing upwhatever memory is being used. This command is useful incombination with the Insert Undo Buffer command. ACTIVE DIRECTORY Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The current default drive or directory may be changed usingthis command. Entering wildcards will cause a directorywindow to appear showing possible choices.Files previously opened in other directories will beproperly accessed even after the active directory ischanged. FILE DIRECTORY Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)Use this command to browse through a file directory. Usestandard DOS pathname and wildcard notation to specify afile mask for the directory. GO TO PAGE NUMBER Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The cursor will be repositioned to the first line of thespecified page of the current window. This command isavailable only when pagination is active for the window. Aprompt box will request the target page number. Enter anypositive integer value. If the value is preceded by a plus(+) or minus (-) sign, the target page number will becalculated relative to the current page. SET TOP MARGIN Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)This specifies the number of lines to leave blank at the topof each page during printing or pagination of the file inthe current window. The top margin is a default value thatwill be overridden by EagleWord format (@) commands embeddedin the text. The value you specify in the prompt box is notstored in the document file. It is a default value thatexists only while the file is being edited. SET BOTTOM MARGIN Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)This specifies the number of lines to leave blank at thebottom of each page during printing or pagination of thefile in the current window. The bottom margin is a defaultvalue that will be overridden by EagleWord format (@)commands embedded in the text. The value you specify in theprompt box is not stored in the document file. It is adefault value that exists only while the file is beingedited. SET PAGE LENGTH Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)This specifies the total number of lines on each page duringprinting or pagination of the file in the current window.The page length is a default value that will be overriddenby EagleWord format (@) commands embedded in the text. Thevalue you specify in the prompt box is not stored in thedocument file. It is a default value that exists only whilethe file is being edited. SET UNDO LIMIT Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)This specifies the maximum number of lines of deleted textthat will be stored in the Undo buffer. If Undo limit is 10,and you delete 15 lines, the first five lines deleted willbe lost. Whenever lines are Undeleted, that space isrecovered for the undo buffer to reuse. TOGGLE TAB EXPANSION Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)When tab expansion is ON, any tabs encountered upon read-inof a file are expanded into spaces, using a tab spacing thatyou specify. If tab expansion is OFF, EagleWord leaves thetabs intact. However, EagleWord does not expand tabs as itdisplays them, so these will be displayed on the screen asI. SET FILE EXTENSION Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)If you edit many files with the same extension, such as.DOC, you should enter that value for the default extension.EagleWord will automatically supply the default extensionwhenever you respond to a filename prompt without enteringan extension. The extension you enter should not include aperiod or any DOS wildcards, and is limited to threecharacters. SET TABS Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The tab settings will be initialized based on the contentsof the current line of text. The start of eachblank-delimited word will set a tab at that column. Anyother tabs will be cleared. By using this command in concertwith the Put Tabs command, you can store a custom tab lineas part of a document and easily use it later.You can return to the default evenly spaced tabs byactivating the Options Tabs Restore even menu selections. SET TAB SIZE Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)By default, a tab is placed after every eight columns oftext. This tab size is also used when files containing tabsare read into EagleWord. Change the tab size and use theRestore even command to initialize a different set ofregularly spaced tabs. PUT TABS Keystroke sequence: (None) Alternate keystrokes: (None)The tab settings are stored into the current window as aformatted text line. The line begins with the EagleWordformatting character (@), and will be ignored duringprinting. Use this command in concert with the Set tabscommand to store a custom tab line as part of a document forlater use. EDIT TABS Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)Tab positions can be interactively edited using thiscommand. The cursor will be moved to the current window'stab line display. Use the cursor keys or the tab key to movealong the tab line. Pressing the space bar will toggle a tabsetting on or off, pressing the key will add a tab,pressing the key will delete a tab at the cursorposition. Press when editing is complete, or to undo any changes made. SET TEMPORARY MARGIN Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The current left margin will be moved to the right by onetab stop. This is useful in making indented lists. Thetemporary margin will remain in force until you leave thecurrent paragraph.The temporary margin is indicated by a right pointing arrowon the window tab display. FORMAT BLOCK Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)Paragraph formatting will be applied to all lines of text inthe currently marked block. The block must be highlighted,and the cursor must be somewhere within the block, or anerror message will be produced. FILE CLOSE Keystroke sequence: Alternate keystrokes: (None)The current text window will be cleared. If it has beenmodified since being saved to disk, you will be given theopportunity to save it. The window will then be closed. Ifthe window is the only one on the screen, you will return tothe EagleWord menu system. SET MARKERThis command stores a record of the current cursor positionto which you can easily return later. EagleWord supports upto ten text markers, which are labeled with the numbers 0-9when they are placed in the text. Shortcut commands forusing each of the ten markers are presented on a followingscreen.The text marker display writes over the character where itis placed. It does not affect the actual text, but merelyhides it. When a marker is set from the menu system, another menu willappear showing which markers are already in use. Redefiningan existing marker erases the previously stored position.Defining a marker at the same position where it is currentlylocated has the effect of erasing it.The following screen provides shortcut keystrokes forsetting text markers without using menus.
