1440one to four digits (allowing for 9999 lines.) A line is K1450terminated by a carriage return. The input lines cannot be more than 1460136 characters long. M1470If you want SECRETARY to ignore a line so that you can retype it, enter O1480control-C. The line will be erased and the # sign will appear indicating D1490it is ready for a new command or data line. The backspace key Q1500can be used to backspace on the line before the carriage return is entered. J1510SECRETARY will ring the bell once seven characters before the end of J1520the line and once for each character that will not fit on the line.] 1530\7 -1540D) RECONFIGURING FOR YOUR INSTALLATION L1550[SECRETARY is shipped with memory set at 36K, the backspace key is the C1560backspace character, a CRT is not used, the printer prints on E1570continuous forms paper, line wrap around is enabled, input line K1580length is set for 64 characters, and the disk is single density only. -1590If all of these apply to your system or G1600if SECRETARY has already been reconfigured for your installation, I1610go to Part 2. The first time the program is used it will print the 1620question] 16302050is 136 characters. It is a good idea to make your lines <2060shorter than necessary. That way if you edit the line ;2070later and insert a word, the character count will not <2080exceed the 136 character maximum or your screen size.] 2090 '21002780[To insert or replace a line, just enter the line number ;2790followed by the text. You do not have to precede the 2800number by leading zeroes.] +2810<1030#comment this replaces line 1030 2820 2830E) DELETING LINES D2840[To delete a line or group of lines, enter the line number and B2850a carriage return without any data or use the delete command 2860as follows:] 2870 100 2880 DELT 100 ?2890 DELT 100,200 (delete lines 100 through 200) 2900 DELETE 100 2910 DELETE 100,200 2920 2930F) BLANK LINES ?2940[To insert blank lines, enter the line number followed by 42950one or two spaces before the carriage return.] 2960\ 2970G) ADDITIONAL PRINTERS D2980[If you have a printer in addition to a CRT and the printer is E2990used in BASIC by saying PRINT #1,... the printer is on unit 1. O3000You can have the listing come out on that printer rather than the CRT by 3010entering] 30203310initialized disk. Later you should delete the file from +3320from the disk where it would not fit. @3330For the sake of backup, it is a good practice to use NSAVE C3340each time you save a text file, and use a diskette other than *3350the one containing the source text.] 3360 3370J) THE QUIT COMMAND ;3380[To exit the program and return to DOS, simply enter] 33903450printed.

CREATING YOUR OWN FILE 3530 3540A) THE SCRATCH COMMAND L3550[When you load a file, the previous file in memory (if there was one) H3560will be destroyed. When you save a file, memory is not destroyed. >3570If you do not remove the file in memory before beginning G3580a new file, the lines that you enter will be merged into the file D3590already in memory.

See the listing of DEMOFILE for an example of this. N4030If the lines run together improperly, check to see if you left the right 64040or left bracket off of the preceding paragraph.] 4050 4060F) PAGE EJECTION K4070[To eject to a new page when printing, use the backslash on a line by C4080itself. See the listing of DEMOFILE for an example of this.] 4090<1000 I4100[Sometimes it may be necessary to do a conditional page eject. For Q4110instance, you may want the next 4 lines to fit on the same page and if they P4120will not, then you want to do a page eject. This is done by following the N4130backslash immediately by the number of lines that must fit on the page.] 4140<1000 4 4150 4160G) CENTERING K4170[To cause a line to be centered, precede the line of text with a left D4180arrow. Be sure the length of the line to be centered is never >4190longer than the length of the line to be printed later.] &4200 1010 THIS LINE WILL BE CENTERED !421010,50 4370 H4380[LINE NUMBER, RIGHT ARROW, LEFT COLUMN NUMBER, COMMA, RIGHT COLUMN O4390NUMBER, CARRIAGE RETURN -- set the left and right margins from this point H4400on.

When a nonblank character is found following =4610a & sign, the underline switch is turned on so that all ?4620nonblank characters are underlined. When it encounters a =4630 & sign followed by a blank, it turns off the underline A4640switch so that the following characters are not underlined. ?4650If the & is at the end of a line and followed by a period =4660or comma, the underline switch will still be turned on. ;4670If you want a & to print, be sure it is not the first A4680character on a line since the preceding character would not >4690be a blank but rather a line number. Underlining occurs 54700only during the execution of the PRINT command. :4710Be sure that your printer has an underline character !4720(ASR 33 terminals do not).] 4730 4740K) DIRECTORY D4750[If you want to print the directory of a disk to see if a file 4760already exists, enter] 47704980"FILE TOO SMALL", see PART 7 PARAGRAPH C. If you wanted 4990your file to be 5000on drive 2, enter] 50105360words, you need to open the line numbers after line 100. 5370For example, you may J5380want to renumber the lines starting with line 110, setting line 110 O5390to 300, and incrementing each line after that by 10. This could be done 5400by entering] 5410
