- This program was copied out of the 12/25 issue of PC Magazine
- as a windowing notepad. It works fine as is, but the description
- in the article as how to change the CRTL N as the triggering
- keys does not work. I don't know enough to correct it. CRTL N
- is not a good combination, as Wordstar, dBASE and probably use
- it in the program and would preclude using the notepad in these
- programs. It would be handy to have to make notes to your self
- should the phone ring or you get a brilliant idea in the middle
- of a Wordstar or dBASE program.
-
- I have included the basic program that creates a .COM file and
- the comfile as well. Another small problem is that the window
- overlays the display generated by the program CLOCK. This is
- not too serious, but perhaps some enterprising soul could
- modify the code to move the window down a couple of rows. In
- the magazine there is also the source code in Assembly Code.
-
- To use the program, simply type at the A>NPAD (Rtn), then to
- invoke the window, type anytime, CTRL N, and the window pulls
- up in the upper right corner of the screen. Simply type in
- your notes, the lines auto wrap. When finished, another
- CTRL N turns off the window, but the note stays in memory
- and can be called up anytime. Rebooting or turning off the
- system naturally clears the memory, so to print the message
- use Prtsc.
-
- The article tells how to change or rather add colors to the
- window, however I have a mono display and did not do these
- changes, besides the ones to change from the CTRL N to a
- CTRL ` didn`t work for me and had to leave it as is.
