- New Features and Changes in PC-Write 3.03
-
- We've added and changed a few things since the 3.03 manual was printed, but
- none is very important (so don't worry if you don't understand any of this):
-
- 1. A new ruler letter, Y, sets normal reformat mode in which Shf F7 sets mode.
- The A, N, and Y Ruler letters can be used as Mini-Rulers. You can protect a
- block from reformatting with <Alt-G>N at the start, and <Alt-G>Y at the end.
- 2. The Ctl F9 Frame menu has an F4 option to box-frame with ASCII -|+ symbols.
- 3. In F2 Ruler mode, Shf Grey+ goes to the first ruler, Shf Grey- to the last.
- 4. The new default is NO extended keyboard functions, since many computers do
- not support them. &J:16 in ED.DEF enables F11, F12, and other new keys.
- 5. &J:1 works on non-extended keyboards, too, making Caps Lock another Ctl key.
- &J:32 stops setting the BIOS Scroll Lock bit, except on startup and exit.
- &J:36 stops all Scroll Lock bit setting, to fix problems on some computers.
- 6. &F:3 locks all files. This fixes a problem using PC-Write with DOS SHARE.
- 7. &C:8 is for EGA's only. &C:9 is for VGA's. &Z:43 sets &C automatically.
- 8. New op codes: 731 exits without saving, 732 draws a box frame with -|+,
- and 733 turns screen refresh back on if you turned it off with 707.
- 9. Notes: SET PR= overrides <Alt-G>.C: when selecting a print control file.
- Laptop and portable users should use %D in ED.DEF.
