- to the KwikWrite Tutorial
-
- Before you begin this tutorial, you must make sure the line length for the
- editor is set at 79. To do this, press the CTRL key down with one finger, and
- while you are holding it down, press the L key once. Then release both keys.
- You will be prompted at the bottom of the screen to enter line length. Enter
- the number 79 using the number keys at the top of the keyboard, and press the
- ENTER key. Also, make sure the cursor pad is NOT in numeric mode.
-
- Now we are ready to go! Locate the "PgDn" key to the right of the keyboard,
- and press it TWICE.

- KwikWrite Editor
- ----------------
-
- This tutorial will help you learn about the KwikWrite editor. First we learn
- about cursor movement. Locate the arrow keys on the keypad to the right of
- the keyboard. Using the arrow keys, move the blinking cursor around on the
- screen. Press the "7", "Home" key and the cursor will go to left of the
- screen. Press it again, and it will move to the top left of the screen. Move
- the cursor to a line with text on it and press the "1", "End" key. The cursor
- will jump to the end of the line. Locate the ".", "Del" key below the keypad.
- The following word has too many s's...
-
- missspelled
-
- Place the blinking cursor on one of the s's and press the "Del" key once. The
- "Del" key deletes one character at a time.
-
-
- Now locate the "PgDn" key on the numeric pad, and press it twice to page down
- to the next lesson screen.
-
-
- Tutorial, page 2
-
- Locate the "0", "Ins" key on the numeric pad. This time in my text I left
- out a word...
-
- I left a word.
-
- Move the cursor to the "a" in "I left a word". Press the "Ins" key. Notice
- the "INSERT" message at the top of the screen. Type the word "out ", and
- press the Ins key. This will turn the insert mode OFF. The "Ins" key toggles
- the insert mode on and off. This time, I have too many words in my text...
-
- I have too too many words.
-
- Place the cursor in the space before the word "too". Locate the "Ctrl" key
- on the left side of the keyboard. Using the CTRL key like a shift key, hold
- down the Ctrl key, and press "W" once. This causes one word (to the next
- blank) to be deleted.
-
- Press the "PgDn" key twice to go to the next screen.
-
-
- Tutorial, page 3.
-
- The highlighted help line at the bottom of the screen may be changed using
- the CTRL-K command. Use this command to change the help line several times.
- Change the Help Line until it reads "Esc-Exit, etc." These are Function Key
- commands. The function keys are located to the left of the keyboard. Pressing
- the function key F1 will allow you to review some "help screens". After
- reading this paragraph, press the F1 key. Browse through some of the help
- screens, then return by pressing the Esc key. Go to it!
-
- The help screens come in handy when you forget what a command means. The Help
- Screens, plus the Help Lines will aid you as you learn to use the editor. We
- have already learned about CTRL-W in this tutorial. Another helpful CTRL
- command is CTRL-D, which deletes text to the right of the cursor. Place the
- cursor on the & in the next sentence, and press CTRL-D.
-
- The Ctrl key is used like a shift key. & the rest of this line is junk.
-
-
-
- Press the PgDn key twice to continue the tutorial.
-
- Tutorial, page 4
-
- To end edit, use the "Esc" key located at the upper left of the keyboard.
- READ THIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. You will press the "Esc" key, and the
- following notice will appear at the bottom of the screen:
-
- Save the Document (Y/N):Yes
-
- Answer by press "N" for No. Then press the Esc key to return to the original
- document (this tutorial.)
-
- Generally, when using KwikWrite, you will create a document, then save it
- using the F1 "Save" function command. When you save a document, you will be
- asked to specify if it is to be PRINTED. If you go directly to printing, you
- will be transferred to the PRINT module (KWPR) after the document has been
- saved. To get an existing document from disk, and put it in the editor,
- use the F5 "Files" function key. If text is already in the Editor, the new
- document will be appended to the end of the current workspace. To "start
- over" with a new document you would first use the F8 key to clear the current
- workspace, and then get the file you wish to edit.
-
- Press "PgDn" twice...
