- KWLATE.DOC for KWIKWRITE 10-15-90
-
- This file contains information about KwikWrite not included
- in the manual --
-
- 1. Processing the file "KWTYPE" will turn your computer into
- a"typewriter" - with all KWPR "Dot" commands available. To
- try this out, enter the command
-
- KWPR KWTYPE
-
- (End the "typewriter" with the command .END)
-
- 2. Process the file called EXAMPLE.LET for an illustration
- of how the mail-merge feature works. To do this directly
- from DOS, enter the command
-
- KWPR EXAMPLE.LET
-
- There are 3 addresses in the MERGE database. You will be
- asked which to start with and which to end with. Just
- press Enter to accept the default. Also, choose default
- on the question to skip records marked for delete.
-
- 3. For users of Laserjets, here is an example of creating a
- letterhead to be automatically printed at the top of a page.
- This example assumes that you have created a "Bloadable"
- font file named HEADFONT containing an 18 point font as your
- first font, and an 8 point font as your second. I created
- this file with the HP PCLPAK program. The following lines
- are in a file named HEAD.LJ:
-
- .rem this is a letterhead maker for Laserjet and Kwikwrite
- .rem the next line loads the font into the Laserjet
- .DOS copy/b \headfont lpt1:
- . the next few lines set up a page for a standard letter
- .top 0
- .bot 0
- .rm 100
- .lm 16
- .rem the lines with tildas in them send messages to the printer
- .rem this message selects soft font 0
- ~27~(0X
- My Company
- _________________________________________________
- .rem this message selects soft font 1
- ~27~(1X
- .lm 34
- P.O. Box 123, Cedar Hill, Texas 75104 Phone:214-555-2115
- .rem this message takes you back to the Courier font
- ~27~(0U~27~(s0p10vs0b3T
- .lm 10
- .rm 70
- .nof
- .npn
- .rem this is the end of the letterhead maker.
-
- Place this information in a file named HEAD.LJ. Then, in
- your letter, place the following command as the first
- thing in the document:
-
- .USE HEAD.LJ
-
- Then, proceed to write your letter. When printed, the
- professional looking letterhead will appear at the top of
- the page. You could do similar letterheads for other
- printers.
-
- 4. To make KwikWrite accessible from any disk or drive, do
- the following two items:
-
- First, place the KwikWrite directory in your PATH
- statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For example
-
- PATH C:\;C:\DOS;C:\KW
-
- would mean that KwikWrite is in the \KW directory on the C:
- drive.
-
- Second, place the statement
-
- SET KWIKWRITE=C:\KW
-
- in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If KwikWrite is on another
- disk, say D:, substitute the C: for a D: in this example.
- After entering these items, boot your computer. Then, you
- should be able to run KwikWrite from any directory or disk.
