- To our European users,
-
- This version of New York Word (version 2.2) contains support for
- foreign language characters. Here are a few things that you should
- know in order to use the European character set :
-
- 1) To put a European character into your text, press the ALT Q
- key. This invokes the <QUOTE CHAR> command. On the status line,
- you will see the message "QUOTE". Hold the ALT key down, and type
- the 3-number sequence on the numeric keypad which corresponds to
- the character you want.
-
- 2) New York Word reserves the extended ASCII characters above
- 220 for its own use. However, some of you need to use the beta-sign
- instead of writing "ss". If you need this, you will need to do three
- things :
- a) In the WPDEFAUL file, put the line
- tr 128=225
- (This says that when you insert the character with the
- ASCII value 128 into your file, the character with the
- value 225 should appear on the screen. This is the
- beta sign.)
- b) In the .PRT file for your printer, you must put the line
- tr 128=xxx
- where xxx is the sequence you must send to your printer in
- order to print a beta-sign.
- (This says that when the character 128 is printed out, the
- control sequence xxx should be sent to your printer.)
- c) When you want to put a beta-sign in your text, press the
- ALT Q key, hold the ALT key, and press 1,2,8 on the
- numeric keypad.
-
- If you need access to the character 128, you can change the "dummy"
- character to another value (like 144).
-
- If you have any questions, you can write to me, but please enclose
- an international reply coupon.
-
- Sincerely,
-
