              How to change from one language to another

    Press <F2> to change "English" in the Status Line, (bottom line
    of the screen) to "Hebrew". (To change back to "English" press
    <F2> again).

    If you want Hebrew to be the main language, you can change the
    direction of the screen by pressing <F4>.

    The Hebrew keyboard layout is the following:

          If you press:     Q W E R T Y U I O P { } |

with a blank space of 10 letters between them. Do the following:

left margin. Write the  number         right margin. Write the  number
1 and press <Enter>. Now press         70 and press <Enter>.
<Ctrl> OR to define the  right
margin. Write  the  number  30         Press <Ctrl> OL to  define  the
and press <Enter>. Proceed  to         left margin, write 40 and press
write  the  text  of  the  1st         Place your cursor in  the  same
column.                                line  where  the  first  column
                                       begins, but in  column  40. and

                                       Turn <Ins> off and  proceed  to
                                       write the text  of  the  second
                                       column.

It is recommended not to make the columns too narrow, but if you do it
is better to turn Justification OFF after writing the first column.
