- F-Open/create a file
- When you open a file, PC-Write reads it from disk into computer's memory.
- You can type over name at prompt, or arrow past path to change just name. If
- file doesn't exist, it is created (upon your confirmation). If you typed
- name of file improperly, you can retype it. See Filenames. Opening a file
- closes (exits) current file, unless you split window. See Window split
- KEYS: Alt F O (F1 F6)
- ..>fob
- Backups
- Whenever you open a file, you can write a backup to keep in case you run
- into problems while editing. You can set program to always or never backup,
- or backup on exiting instead. See CUSTOMIZE
-
- For file switching options after Alt F O, see SHORTCUTS.
- Have PC-Write remember names of files you've been editing. See CUSTOMIZE
- To set a permanent filename extension or location, see CUSTOMIZE.
- ..mfh
- F-If your memory doesn't have enough free space to open the file specified,
- PC-Write may ask to free the hold area to make more room. See Hold text
- You may have to break a large file into smaller ones. See MAKING SUBFILES
-
- ..>fol
- Read-only mode
- You can read a locked file (e.g. on a network) on screen but cannot write
- changes to it. See SHORTCUTS
-
- ..>fl
- F-List & open
- From the list of files, highlight one and press Enter to open it.
- Highlighting a subdirectory name (ends with \) and pressing Enter displays
- its files. Or, press F8 to type in name of directory not listed. F8 option
- is also available at all filename prompts. See also List files
- KEYS: Alt F L (F1 F6 F8 Enter).
-
- ..>fn
- F-New name
- Type over old name that appears at prompt, then press Enter. Now when you
- save or exit file, your text is written to new name. If you saved file when
- it had the old name, the old file is still on your disk. See also Rename
- If you haven't yet named your document, status line shows "<no name>".
- You're asked to name it when PC-Write needs to write it to disk.
- KEYS: Alt F N (F1 F5)
-
- ..>fs
- ..dfl
- ..cns
- Save a file
- When you make changes to a file on screen, the changes are only in your
- computer's memory. Save changes to disk often, to prevent losing editing if
- your computer loses power. If you've taken the floppy disk that contains
- your file out of its original drive, you need to reinsert the correct disk.
- If your disk is too full to save added text, you can save to a different,
- less full disk.
- KEYS: Alt F S (F1 F3)
- PC-Write can periodically save or remind you to save. See CUSTOMIZE
-
- ..>fus
- ..>fue
- ..>fu
- Undo changes
- If you make a big mistake, reopen file as it was before you made changes.
- This cancels only changes made since last time you saved. Once you've saved,
- the only way to cancel changes is to start over, using your backup copy.
- KEYS: Alt F U
- S Since last save (F1 F9 F6 F10)
- E Exit, no save (F1 F9 F2)
-
- ..>fe
- Exit a file
- You can exit a file by exiting PC-Write. If you have changed your document
- since the last time you saved, the file is automatically saved.
- To exit a file without saving it, undo changes first. See Undo changes
- KEYS: Alt F E (F1 F2)
- F-If you want to exit your current file but don't want to exit PC-Write, you
- can open another file (which exits current file). See Open/create a file
- Closing a window exits a file, too. See WINDOW SPLIT
-
- ..>fotb=
- ..>for
- ..>fotb
- MAKING SUBFILES
- If you try to open a file too big to fit in memory, PC-Write asks if you
- want to break it into smaller files to edit separately. If subfile with same
- name already exists, you can cancel overwriting that file.
- To put subfiles back into one, use DOS COPY command:
- A>COPY file1 + file2 + file3 bigfile
- copies "file1", "file2", and "file3" to a file named "bigfile"
- See DOS commands

- F-Files in a series
- Using F5 or F7 Quick switch following F1 F6 (Alt F O) tells PC-Write you're
- editing files in series. Series files have same name with incremental last
- one or two digit number or letter (FILE1.DOC, FILE2.DOC). Search & replace,
- spell scan, update references, renumbering, and printing can continue to
- next file, once you've reached end of current file. Both Print and Update
- references check for file series even if you haven't used F5/F7 once.

- F≡FILE GRAPHIC
-
- Images are stored in separate graphic files and signature files.
- They can be kept in the same directory as document files or in the
- graphic directory, and accessed with a path abbreviation.
- They can be graphic inserted into a text file.
- They can be file viewed before being inserted into a document.
-
- F≡Graphic File
- A graphic file is an image file in pixel format. Its default file name
- extension is .PIX, but any extension may be used. Other image formats must
- be graphic converted to pixel format.
-
- F≡Signature File
- A graphic file can be protected with a password that's defined when the
- file is stored. Its file name extension must be .SIG. If the wrong
- password is given when read, the file will be scrambled, so be careful!
-
- ..>fgv

- files are usually stored in PC-Write's graphic directory (\PCW\PIX).
-
- F≡Path Abbreviation
- The path to a graphic file may use one of two path abbreviations.
- DOC: for the document's directory. Allows a document and this graphic file
- to be moved between directories or computers.
- PIX: for the graphic directory. Allows a document to be moved between
- directories without also moving this graphic file.
-
- ..>fgc
- ..>px
- F≡Graphic Convert
- PC-Write can convert image files in any one of four different formats
- (.PCX, .TIF, .CGM, or .PIC) into graphic files in pixel format (.PIX).

- F=FILE MANAGE
-
- These commands help with file housekeeping within PC-Write. Similar
- functions and more are available when you exit to DOS. See DOS commands
-
- ..>fmr
- ..>fmr=
- F=Rename
- Alt F N (F1 F5) renames the file currently in memory. See New name
- Alt F M R (Alt-F1 F5) renames a file on disk.
- ..foc
- If you type the name of a file that already exists, you're asked if you
- want to write over existing file.
-
- ..>fmc
- ..>fmc=
- F=Copy
- Alt F M C (Alt-F1 F6) writes a copy of your file to disk.
- You can write it to a different name or location by typing at prompt.
- To copy files other than current one, use DOS COPY. See DOS commands
-
- ..>fme
- ..>fme=
- ..>fme=c
- F=Delete
- Alt F M E (Alt-F1 F7) deletes a file on disk. You're always asked to
- confirm your deletion. To delete the file currently open, first delete the
- copy on disk; then exit PC-Write without saving changes. See Undo changes
-
- ..>fml
- F=List files
- Alt-F1 F8 then Enter lists files in current directory. If there are
- subdirectories, you can highlight one and press Enter to list its files. The
- parent directory (indicated by '..\') can be selected to return to list
- files in previous directory. To list files in a directory not listed, press
- F8 and type a different name at directory prompt. Listing files is available
- at any filename prompt by pressing F8. See also List & open
- The listing displays file size, date, and time if room. Otherwise, just
- filename displays. F4 switches back and forth between listing types.
- To set default listing type, see CUSTOMIZE.
-
- ..>fmd
- ..>fmd=
- F≡DOS drive:dir
- Changing the current DOS drive and/or directory (path) from within PC-Write
- makes it easy to access files on a new path. Then you don't have to type a
- path each time you open another file. See also Name prefix below.
- KEYS: Alt F M D (Alt-F1 F3)
-
- ..>fmn
- ..>fmn=
- F≡Name prefix
- Prefix letters are inserted before every name typed at a file prompt. This
- is handy for a series of files that all begin with the same name. Or, use it
- to access files on another drive or directory, without changing DOS path.
- To set a permanent prefix for names, see CUSTOMIZE.
- KEYS: Alt F M N (Alt-F1 F2)
-
- ..>fmo
- F≡Open notes
- Opening directory notes switches to a file named ED.DIR in the current
- directory (if it doesn't exist, it's created). The notes file contains a
- directory listing with space for you to type comments. The file is updated
- each time you open it, to show new (+) or deleted (-) files.
- To exclude file size, date, or time for entries, see CUSTOMIZE.
- KEYS: Alt F M O (Alt-F1 F9)
-
- ..>fd
- ..>fds
- F=DOS SHELL
- If your computer has enough memory you may temporarily exit PC-Write to run
- another program or DOS command, keeping PC-Write and your file in memory.
- Alt F D S (F1 F4 then Enter) shells to DOS. The screen shows a prompt
- (A>) just like when you exit PC-Write. Now you can type DOS commands as
- usual. See DOS commands
- The shell is fine for most applications, but not for loading memory resident
- programs that stay active. To load a resident program, exit PC-Write first.
-
- ..>fdr
- F=Alt F D R (F1 F4) runs a DOS command directly from PC-Write.
- The top line reads:
- Command file (Esc:cancel F8:dir): "drive:\COMMAND.COM"
- where "drive" is boot drive.
- Type name of .COM or .EXE file to execute. PC-Write looks first for a .COM,
- then for a .EXE file.
-
- Exiting the Shell, Re-entering PC-Write
- When you run a program directly from PC-Write, and the program finishes,
- you're prompted with:
- To return to the edit program, press any key
- Or, if at the DOS prompt in the shell, type
- C>EXIT
- then press Enter.
-
- Shell is suitable for applications that are complete upon return to PC-Write
- but not for loading a memory resident program that stays active upon return
- to PC-Write. To load a resident program, exit PC-Write normally.
-
- DOS commands
- PC-Write can do these DOS operations: del, dir, ren. See FILE MANAGE
- For commands below, "A>" is the DOS prompt.
- A>FORMAT b:
- formats diskette in drive B
- A>COPY fromfile tofile
- copies "fromfile" to "tofile"
- A>SORT < infilename > outfilename
- sorts lines in "infilename" and puts them in "outfilename"
- You can run DOS commands directly from PC-Write. See DOS SHELL
-
- Filenames
- DOS filenames are 1 to 8 characters, plus an extension of 0 to 3 letters.
- The format is: FILENAME.EXT
- You can use letters A-Z (upper and lower case are the same), numbers 0-9,
- and the symbols $ & # @ ! % ( ) { } - _ ~ in a filename.
- Filenames can be preceded by a drive and/or a pathname, for example:
- C:\PCW\filename.ext
- Think of drive and path as part of the full filename. With no drive and/or
- path specified, DOS assumes the currently logged drive and subdirectory.
-

- ..>lf
- G-FONTS
-
- G-Fonts set look of characters when printed. They have three categories:
- Typefaces: shape of character, such as Courier and Times.
- Sizes: character width and height, such as 10 cpi or 12 point.
- Effects: special enhancements, such as underline and bold.
- Typefaces and sizes set spacing of characters; only one of each can be
- active at a time. Multiple effects can be active at once.
-
- The Font menu inserts font characters or dot lines to set fonts. These are
- visible only in Show mode. See Hide/Show codes You can also insert these
- commands directly at cursor. See Inserting fonts directly
-
- ..>lfl
- ..>lfb
- G-Location
- Before setting a font, decide where you want it to apply.
- KEYS: Alt L F then: (R/Q dot lines)
- G-L sets look for next few words you type (or selected words).
- Font characters will be inserted at start and end of lines.
- ..>lfc
- G≡C sets look for this column only, using ruler letters. If you column box
- lines, font affects only selected lines in this column. Option not available
- if you select more than one column. See next option.
- G=B sets look for this paragraph and onward, using dot lines. If you select a
- block of lines, font begins with first line selected, stops after last line.
- See SELECTING TEXT
- G≡In column mode, font begins at first line of all columns across page,
- (unless you select a block of lines, which works same as non-column mode).
- ..>lfd
- ..>lfh
- ..>lff
- G-D sets look of type for entire document (base font).
- G=H sets look of type for headers and footers. See HEAD/FOOTERS
- G≡F sets look of type for footnotes. See FOOT/ENDNOTES
- The Status line shows current font for text at cursor. See Status line
-
- ..>lft
- G-Typeface
- Current document font is indicated by a ≈, paragraph or body font by a ~.
- There are two kinds of typefaces:
- Fixed-width faces have letters/spaces all the same width, like a typewriter.
- G=Proportional typefaces have letters/spaces that aren't all the same width.
- PC-Write supports both, also downloaded (soft) fonts, if your printer does.
-
- ..>lfs
- G-Size
- Current document font is indicated by a ≈, paragraph or body font by a ~.
- For many printers, size isn't available; it is combined with typeface. Even
- for printers that support sizes, some typefaces may not support sizes.
- Usually, one size font sets a fixed size (in characters per inch, cpi) for
- fixed-width typefaces, and another (in points) for proportional typefaces.
- When available, the font letters assigned to sizes are:
- Fixed width
- Compressed 15 cpi
- Elite 12 cpi
- Pica 10 cpi
- Double 5 cpi
- G= Proportional
- Compressed 8.0 p
- Elite 10.0 p
- Pica 12.0 p
- Double 14.4 p
-
- ..>lfe
- G-Effect
- Multiple effects can be active at once (unlike typefaces or sizes).
- Current paragraph or body font is indicated by a ~
- G=Current document font is indicated by a ≈
-
- Inserting fonts directly
- PC-Write assigns font letters (first letter on menus) to each font.
- Font characters are graphic symbols for these letters. To insert a font
- character, press and hold the Alt key, then press font letter.
- You may find it quicker to set fonts, especially effects, this way.
- You must be in Show mode to see font characters. See Hide/Show codes
- To view table of font characters, see Font characters.
- Another way to set fonts (for whole lines) is with dot lines. They take
- effect until you turn them off, or (for typefaces and sizes) you set a new
- one. See DOT LINES
- Important tips:
- - Insert same font character before and after text to be enhanced.
- If you mark text, this can be automatically done. See CUSTOMIZE
- - Font characters automatically stop at end of line. To enhance several
- lines, place font at start of each line (or use dot lines).
- - Apply only one typeface and size to an area of text. You can apply
- multiple effects. 'Nest' multiple fonts, as you would parentheses.
- - Enter font characters as you type, or insert them later. Auto-reformat
- mode isn't recommended when inserting later.
- - Delete or transpose font characters like normal characters. Best to do
- this in Show mode.
- - In Auto-reformat mode, deleting first font character in pair deletes
- second automatically.

- R≡INDEX/CONTENTS
-
- Choosing words for the index can be done as document is created or after, or
- both. It's usually placed at end of document. Table of contents (TOC) is
- in page number order and placed at start of document. PC-Write compiles both
- lists (and any endnotes) when you update references. If you edit files in
- series, begin updating references in first file. Subsequent files will be
- updated, and TOC placed in first file, index placed in final file.
- KEYS: Alt L R U (Alt-F7 F2)
- See UPDATING NOTES, Files in a series
- Note: Designating words for index and TOC is done with a dot line. If you
- edit in Hide mode, these can get moved or deleted inadvertantly. Keep dot
- line near referenced word in document, to assure correct page number in
- list. Use show mode to check placement. See Hide/Show codes, DOT LINES
-
- Formatting index/contents list
- Set fonts, spacing, and other formatting for lists after updating has
- inserted list in document. Use same methods as for body text. Use formats
- on the area with scopes bigger than the area (pages, paragraphs), because
- formatting inside area is lost upon updating. One exception: fonts within
- text of index entries are moved to the corresponding numbers in the list
- upon updating. Use this to emphasize certain page numbers in index list. A
- spring shape is often used for index or TOC lists. Updating puts spring
- point (soft space) in automatically for each entry.
- See Shape, FONTS, SPACING
-
- Moving index/contents list
- The first time you update references, TOC and index areas are created at
- start and end of document. On next update, each area is replaced (if you
- confirm) with new one, otherwise new one is added to start/end of document.
- If you move the area along with its dot lines to another place, updating
- occurs at new place (II/IJ for index; KI/KJ for TOC). See DOT LINES

- R≡Index word
- Index a word at cursor, or a marked phrase. Use all lower case letters to
- insure true alphabetic sorting. You can index the same word at several
- places (by moving the cursor to each location) if you want several page
- numbers to reference that word. After updating references, you may want to
- edit the list to combine multiple references on a single line or capitalize
- entries. If you have an index word list loaded, you can add a word at
- cursor to list, so you can search for other occurrences of that word.
- See Index scan

- R≡Index scan
- Create a word list, named WORDS.INX, containing possible index words to find
- in the document. Scan document and choose which locations to index.
- PC-Write tells you when it finds any word in word list in the document.
- If you scan in a file that's in a series, the scan continues to next file.

- Turn off scan
- The first time you scan or load an index word list, PC-Write starts index
- search mode. This makes the Grey+ key find index words instead of normal
- search words or misspelled words. Turn off index search explicitly with

- AUTO-NUMBERING
- Use automatic numbering for footnotes or endnotes, lines, and outlines.
- You enter a number sequence that is translated into a sequential series of
- numbers when you repage or renumber. For page numbering, see HEAD/FOOTERS.
- First create a unique numbering sequence. Each sequence contains:
- 1. An Alt-N font character ( )
- 2. A number or letter (capital or lower case)
- 3. A symbol (anything but a digit or letter, including a space)
- When you repage or update, the numbers or letters become sequential.
- The symbol, which defines the sequence, remains the same.
- Example After renumber:
- 1. Lions 1. Lions ( is the Alt-N font character)
- 3. Tigers 2. Tigers
- 2. Bears 3. Bears
-
- Multiple Levels
- Create multiple sequences for outlines or section numbering.
- before entry uses number or letter shown as series start.
- before entry re-uses last value.
- Example
- 7. Chapter 1 (two sequences, one ending with dot, one with space)
- A. Lions (another sequence using capital letters ends with dot)
- 8. Chapter 2
- B. Tigers
- C. Bears
- When renumbered is:
- 1. Chapter 1
- A. Lions
- 2. Chapter 2
- A. Tigers
- B. Bears
-
- R=Footnote numbering See FOOT/ENDNOTES
- Start each entry with Alt-N and the number or letter and symbol for series.
- Repage or update to resequence the current order of footnotes in document.
- Here, footnote number ends with "." and footnote reference with "]":
- This is the reference [ 1] to giraffes.
- .DB
- 9. This is footnote text about giraffes.
- .DQ
- A sequence in a footnote is treated separately from same sequence in body
- text, so you can use same symbol for both.
-
- ..>lran
- ..>lraf
- ..>lrar
- R=Auto numbering via menus
- Before inserting a sequence, set its purpose.
- KEYS: Alt L R A then:
- F begins or resets start of number sequence.
- N increments to next number of sequence.
- R repeats a number, as for multiple level outlines.
-
- ..>lrai
- ..>lraib
- ..>lraic
- ..>lraid
- ..>lraip
- ..>lrais
- R=Sequences
- Up to five different sequences can be inserted in one document using menus.
- Menus insert number 1 for each, then the distinguishing character. Examples:
- 1 Hawaii
- 1: Hawaii
- 1. Hawaii
- (1) Hawaii
- 1 Hawaii ( is Alt-H, superscript font)
-
- ..>lrau
- R=Renumbering

- R≡PRINT-TIME ITEM
- Insert a command that is processed only when printing your document.
-
- R≡Print image
- Insert a print image in a document when it prints. Use this to include
- graphics or tables from other applications in your documents. When you
- print, PC-Write prints normally till it reaches the place for the image;
- then it sends the graphic file containing the print image to the printer
- with no further processing, and resumes printing the document. Set file
- length with TL or EL dot line for correct pagination. See DOT LINES
- KEYS: Alt L R S P (TI dot line)
- ..>lrsu
- ..>lrsu=
- ..>lrsu=c
- R≡User line entry
- Type lines of text into a document as it's being printed.
- Use this to make form letters. You enter a prompt to remind you what to type.
- During printing, PC-Write pauses for you to type a line of text, then resumes
- printing the document. You can only type a complete line of text, so you
- can't use this to 'fill in a blank' mid-line. See also MERGE PRINT
- KEYS: Alt L R S U (U dot line)
- R≡Other file
- Insert entire text of another file when document prints. Useful for putting
- a heading (kept in separate file) on first page of letterhead. TP dot line
- inserts lines of file (ignores any formatting). Set file length with TL or
- EL dot line to assure accurate pagination. See DOT LINES
- If you're using a master file to insert all files composing a document, use
- TF dot line instead. This reads formatting in inserted file, and puts in
- page breaks between the files. TF files only print when you Print All pages
- (Print Range ignores TF files). Master file format isn't recommended (use
- series format instead). See Files in a series

- E≡GRAPHICS
-
- Graphic images can be graphic inserted into a document. A graphic in a text
- file just "points" at a separate graphic file.
- A graphic displays (Hide mode) as a shaded graphic rectangle positioned
- according to its graphic layout, and sized according to its picture; the
- name of its graphic original appears in the upper-left corner (if there's
- no text there). Graphic view shows the image in the rectangle.
- A graphic can be graphic selected.
-
- ..>egi
- E≡Graphic Insert

- or changing the indents of a clip to indent stretch picture.
-
- ..>egps
- ..>egpsw
- ..>egpsh
- E≡Scale Picture
- The picture can be scaled from the original. If the scaling is independent,
- then the aspect ratio will change. If not independent, then changing width
- or height scale factor will change the other. Scaling may loose clarity.
- E≡KEYS: Alt E G P S W width factor Enter.
- E≡KEYS: Alt E G P S H height factor Enter.
- Changing the scaling changes the size, unless it's a stretch picture.
- Scaling can also be changed by changing the size of a scale to fit picture,
- or changing the indents of a scale to indent stretch picture.
-
- E≡Clarity
- Since digital images are displayed and printed with pixels, pictures with
- non-integer (except .5) scale factors may not be as clear as the original.
- The contrast and ink map can also affect an original's clarity.
-
- ..>egpsi
- E≡Independent Scaling
- The height and width scale factors are normally equal. If scaling is
- independent, then they can be different; may change the aspect ratio.
-
- E≡Aspect Ratio
- The ratio of the width to the height of a picture. Changing this ratio
- distorts the image. For example, circles become ovals.
