@37
&SEARCH AGAIN
Keystroke sequence: 37
) Alternate keystrokes: 37
The previous search operation will be repeated.
This will repeat a plain search, a search and
replace, or a search and apply macro command.
@38
&OPERATING SYSTEM
Keystroke sequence: 38
) Alternate keystrokes: 38
Any DOS command or program may be executed. A
prompt box will ask for the name of the command
or program to run. Entering an empty line at the
prompt box will cause a DOS shell to be invoked.
You may execute any sequence of DOS commands from
the shell, and finally return to the editor by
typing Exit.
]
The DOS shell requires that a copy of COMMAND.COM
be present in the normal drive and directory
assigned by DOS. Sufficient random-access memory
must be available for the shell and any command
that you specify.
Do not execute any program that becomes memory
resident while within the DOS shell.
@39
&BACKWARD TAB
Keystroke sequence: 39
) Alternate keystrokes: 39
The cursor will be moved to the next tab left of
the current position. This command is available
only in fixed tab mode.
@40
&EDIT ANOTHER FILE
Keystroke sequence: 40
) Alternate keystrokes: 40
The current window will be cleared, and a prompt
box will ask for the name of another file to
edit. If the current window already holds a file
that has been modified, you will be given the
opportunity to save it.
]
When prompted for a file name, you may enter DOS
wildcards or the name of another drive or
subdirectory. In this case, another window will
display the names of all matching files. You can
select from this list by using the cursor keypad,
or by pressing the first letter of the filename
in which you are interested.
By entering an empty line for the file name, you
can edit a file without specifying a name for it.
A name can be specified later when you want to
write it out to disk.
@41
&FILE QUIT
Keystroke sequence: 41
) Alternate keystrokes: 41
The editing session will end and you will return
to DOS. If any windows have been modified, prompt
boxes will appear and you will be given the
opportunity to save each modified file. If you
type <Esc> at any of the prompt boxes, the FILE
QUIT command will be interrupted and you will
return to the current text window.
@42
&READ BLOCK FROM FILE
Keystroke sequence: 42
) Alternate keystrokes: 42
A prompt box will ask for the name of a file to
read. This file will be read into the current
window, starting at the current cursor position.
The newly read text will be marked as a block.
]
When prompted for a file name, you may enter DOS
wildcards or the name of another drive or
subdirectory. In this case, another window will
display the names of all matching files. You can
select from this list by using the cursor keypad,
or by pressing the first letter of the filename
in which you are interested.
@43
&SAVE AND CONTINUE EDIT
Keystroke sequence: 43
) Alternate keystrokes: 43
The contents of the current window will be saved
to disk, using a file name the same as when the
file was first read. If the file has not been
named, a prompt box will ask for a new name. If
the disk file already exists, a backup copy will
be made before overwriting the existing version.
The cursor will remain in place after the file is
written to disk.
@44
&WRITE BLOCK TO FILE
Keystroke sequence: 44
) Alternate keystrokes: 44
The currently marked block will be written to a
disk file. If no block is marked, an error
message will be produced. If the disk file
already exists, you will be given the choice of
overwriting it or appending to it.
@46
&FILE OPEN
Keystroke sequence: 46
) Alternate keystrokes: 46
A prompt box will ask for the name of a new file
to read. If another file is already being edited,
the current window will be split in half, and the
new file will be read into the new window.
By specifying a file name that matches an
existing window, you may look at two regions of
the same file. Changes made in one window will
affect all other windows which contain the same
file.
]
When prompted for a file name, you may enter DOS
wildcards or the name of another drive or
subdirectory. In this case, another window will
display the names of all matching files. You can
select from this list by using the cursor keypad,
or by pressing the first letter of the filename
in which you are interested.
By entering an empty line for the file name, you
can edit a file without specifying a name for it.
A name can be specified later when you want to
write it out to disk.
@47
&RESIZE WINDOW
Keystroke sequence: 47
) Alternate keystrokes: 47
Use this command to change the height of the
current window. The up and down arrow keys will
move the window dividing lines. Press <Enter>
when the window has the desired size.
@48
&SAVE/SWITCH FILES
Keystroke sequence: 48
) Alternate keystrokes: 48
The file in the current window will be stored to
disk. A prompt box will then ask for the name of
another file to edit. The new file will be read
into the current window. All window sizes will
remain the same.
]
When prompted for a file name, you may enter DOS
wildcards or the name of another drive or
subdirectory. In this case, another window will
display the names of all matching files. You can
select from this list by using the cursor keypad,
or by pressing the first letter of the filename
in which you are interested.
By entering an empty line for the file name, you
can edit a file without specifying a name for it.
A name can be specified later when you want to
write it out to disk.
@49
&NEXT WINDOW
Keystroke sequence: 49
) Alternate keystrokes: 49
The cursor will be moved to the current position
in the next window down on the screen. If the
cursor is already in the lowest window, it will
move to the topmost window. If there is only one
window, nothing will happen.
@51
&ZOOM WINDOW
Keystroke sequence: 51
) Alternate keystrokes: 51
The current window will grow to fill the screen.
Other text windows are kept in memory, but are
not visible until zoom is toggled off. The Next
window and Previous window commands will bring
each window to the forefront in succession. Text
markers and blocks may be accessed as usual in
the hidden windows. The only exception is block
delete: a block will not be deleted from a hidden
window.
]
When zoom is active, a letter Z will appear at the
left edge of the window status line. Toggling
the zoom command again will make all windows
visible.
@52
&BLOCK BEGIN
Keystroke sequence: 52
) Alternate keystrokes: 52
The cursor position will become the start of a
marked block.
@53
&BLOCK END
Keystroke sequence: 53
) Alternate keystrokes: 53
The cursor position will become the end of a
marked block.
@54
&START OF BLOCK
Keystroke sequence: 54
) Alternate keystrokes: 54
The cursor will be moved to the start of the
current block, whether it is visible or not.
@55
&END OF BLOCK
Keystroke sequence: 55
) Alternate keystrokes: 55
The cursor will be moved to the end of the marked
block, whether it is visible or not.
@56
&BLOCK COPY
Keystroke sequence: 56
) Alternate keystrokes: 56
A copy of the marked block will be inserted at
the current cursor position.
@57
&BLOCK MOVE
Keystroke sequence: 57
) Alternate keystrokes: 57
The marked block will be removed from its current
location and inserted at the current cursor
position.
@58
&BLOCK DELETE
Keystroke sequence: 58
) Alternate keystrokes: 58
The marked block will be deleted from the text
stream. If the block spans more than one line,
the deleted lines may be recovered via the
Undelete command.
@59
&HIDE BLOCK
Keystroke sequence: 59
) Alternate keystrokes: 59
The on-screen highlighting of the marked block is
toggled on or off. Blocks can be copied, moved,
or deleted only when the block is visibly marked.
Movement to block start or end is possible even
when the block is not visible.
@82
&LOAD MACROS FROM DISK
Keystroke sequence: 82
) Alternate keystrokes: 82
A previously stored file of ScreenWright keyboard
macros is loaded into memory. The macro file is a
binary file in a special format used by
ScreenWright. Macros may be recorded, edited, and
stored to disk from within ScreenWright. Each macro
file contains ten macros, each of which may hold
up to 255 keystrokes. ScreenWright automatically
loads the macro file SWPRO.MAC, if found, when the
program is started.
@83
&STORE MACROS TO DISK
Keystroke sequence: 83
) Alternate keystrokes: 83
The current set of ScreenWright keyboard macros is
written to a disk file. A prompt box will ask for
a file name. The macro file is a binary file in a
special format used by ScreenWright. Macros may be
recorded, edited, and stored to disk from within
ScreenWright. Each macro file contains ten macros,
each of which may hold up to 255 keystrokes.
ScreenWright automatically loads the macro file
SWPRO.MAC, if found, when the program is started.
@84
&TOGGLE MACRO RECORD
Keystroke sequence: 84
) Alternate keystrokes: 84
Any keystrokes entered after this command is
activated are stored within a keyboard macro,
which may be edited and later played back within
ScreenWright. To stop macro recording, enter this
command a second time. A prompt box will ask for
which of the ten macros should store the newly
recorded one, and for a descriptive name for the
macro.
Each macro can hold up to 255 keystrokes. Macros
can play back other macros. Macros are played
back by pressing one of the installed keystroke
combinations, or by choosing the ScreenWright Macro
Playback option from the menu system.
]
One of the macros is somewhat special. This
macro is called the "scrap". Whenever a new macro
is recorded, it writes over the scrap macro. The
current scrap macro can be played back once or
many times using other macro commands.
@104
&GET INFORMATION
Keystroke sequence: 104
) Alternate keystrokes: 104
Various facts about ScreenWright and the current
file are displayed. Information shown includes
the complete path name of the current file; its
size in bytes, words, lines, and pages; whether
it has been modified since last disk save; the
time and date; available RAM and disk space; the
current directory; and the DOS and ScreenWright
version numbers.
Some of the statistics that ScreenWright presents
take a while to compute. By pressing any key while
the Get Info window is being updated, you can
"short-circuit" the computation of some items.
@106
&TOGGLE INSERT MODE
Keystroke sequence: 106
) Alternate keystrokes: 106
When insert mode is active, newly typed text is
inserted into the current text line, pushing
characters to the right of the cursor aside to
make room. When insert mode is off, newly typed
text overwrites existing text. Many commands,
such as block copy and insert line, operate in
insert mode independent of the setting of this
toggle.
@107
&TOGGLE AUTOINDENT MODE
Keystroke sequence: 107
) Alternate keystrokes: 107
When autoindent mode is active and the <Enter>
key is pressed, the new line of text will be
indented the same number of spaces as the line
immediately above it. The setting of this toggle
also affects the operation of the paragraph
reformatting command.
@108
&TOGGLE CASE
Keystroke sequence: 108
) Alternate keystrokes: 108
The case of the character at the cursor location
will be toggled from upper to lower, or from
lower to upper. If a block is marked and visible,
and the cursor is anywhere within the marked
block, the command will toggle the case of the
entire block.
@109
&LOWER CASE
Keystroke sequence: 109
) Alternate keystrokes: 109
The case of the character at the cursor location
will be set to lower-case. If a block is marked
and visible, and the cursor is anywhere within
the marked block, the command will change the
case of the entire block.
@110
&UPPER CASE
Keystroke sequence: 110
) Alternate keystrokes: 110
The case of the character at the cursor location
will be set to upper-case. If a block is marked
and visible, and the cursor is somewhere within
the marked block, the command will change the
case of the entire block.
@111
&SET RIGHT MARGIN
Keystroke sequence: 111
) Alternate keystrokes: 111
A prompt box will ask for a new value for the
right margin. Entering an empty prompt string will
set the right margin to the current cursor column.
The right margin is used only when Word Wrap mode
is active. When that is so, text entered in a
column beyond the right margin will automatically
be wrapped to the next line. Paragraph formatting
will move words so that lines are as full as
possible within, but not exceeding, the right
margin.
@112
&FORMAT PARAGRAPH
Keystroke sequence: 112
) Alternate keystrokes: 112
Format paragraph is available only when Word
Wrap mode is active. Paragraph reformatting will
move words so that lines are as full as possible
within, but not exceeding, the current left and
right margins. If Justify mode is active, the
lines will also be evenly filled with spaces so
that the rightmost word ends on the right margin.
The paragraph reformat is terminated when a blank
line, or a line beginning with a format character
(.), is reached.
@113
&TOGGLE WORD WRAP
Keystroke sequence: 113
) Alternate keystrokes: 113
When Word Wrap mode is active, paragraph
reformatting and automatic word wrap are
available. Otherwise, left and right margin
settings are ignored, and text may be entered in
any column up to the maximum line length.
@114
&SET LEFT MARGIN
Keystroke sequence: 114
) Alternate keystrokes: 114
A prompt box will ask for a new value for the
left margin. Entering an empty prompt string will
set the left margin to the current cursor column.
When Word Wrap mode is active, the left margin
controls the leftmost position where text may be
entered. The left margin also controls the
operation of the paragraph formatting command.
The left and right margins can be made visible by
toggling the Tab Line Display.
Print formatting commands require that the
format character (.) be located in column 1 even
if the left margin is set to a number greater
than one. To achieve this, enter the format
command starting at the left margin, move the
cursor to column 1 with the Left of Line command,
and delete the intervening spaces via Delete
Word. Alternatively, activate the Margin Release
command while the format command is entered.
@115
&DISPLAY TABS
Keystroke sequence: 115
) Alternate keystrokes: 115
Toggling Display Tabs ON reserves one line of the
current window for display of tab settings and
margins. The tabs and margins can be active
whether or not the tab line is visible.
@116
&INSERT UNDO BUFFER
Keystroke sequence: 116
) Alternate keystrokes: 116
The entire contents of the undo buffer are
inserted into the current text stream, prior to
the current line. This empties the undo buffer,
that is, the operation can be used only once for
any set of deletions.
@117
&TOGGLE JUSTIFY
Keystroke sequence: 117
) Alternate keystrokes: 117
When Justify is active, word wrap and paragraph
reformat operations will cause each line to be
filled in with spaces such that the rightmost
non-blank character is exactly on the right
margin.
]
By toggling Justify off, and reformatting lines
or paragraphs, the additional blanks will be
automatically removed from the text. Note that
blanks manually inserted (via the Tab command,
etc.) will also be removed, unless the Compress
Wrap mode is turned off.
ScreenWright does not differentiate between "soft"
blanks added during justification and "hard"
blanks manually entered. However, the character
<CtrlO> may be used in place of a normal blank
when non-changing spaces are desired. The <CtrlO>
will be printed as a normal space. To enter a
<CtrlO> in the text stream, press 25<CtrlO>.
@118
&TOGGLE PAGE BREAKS
Keystroke sequence: 118
) Alternate keystrokes: 118
When pagination is activated, the left two
columns of the text window will be devoted to
showing page breaks. The characters »» in those
columns indicate that the corresponding line is
the first printing text line on its page.
In addition, the status line for the window will
indicate what page number the cursor is on. The
Jump to Page command is available only when
pagination is activated.
]
ScreenWright calculates page numbers while it is
waiting for you to enter keystrokes. As a result,
if you enter new text it may take a short period
of time before the page break markers are redrawn
at their new positions.
Although the page breaks displayed on screen
correspond to those in a printout of the
document, ScreenWright does not store any special
characters in the disk file. Page breaks are
recomputed each time the file is read into
ScreenWright.
Pagination can be precisely controlled via the
formatting commands. See the help section for
File Print Formatting.
@119
&TOGGLE FONT DISPLAY
Keystroke sequence: 119
) Alternate keystrokes: 119
When Font Display is enabled, print formatting
commands that control font selections will not
be displayed on-screen. Instead the marked text
will be displayed in a color or attribute
corresponding to the font. This "what you see is
what you get" mode allows more accurate alignment
of tables, and avoids multiple print cycles to
correct formatting commands.
The screen colors for each font may be adjusted on
the Options Colors menu.
When font display is enabled, the control
characters that select the fonts are not visible.
However, the cursor can be positioned over the
control character, and it can be deleted if
desired. The ScreenWright hardware cursor grows to a
large block when it is positioned over the
control character. The value of the control
character will be displayed at the right hand
edge of the window status line when the cursor is
positioned over it.
ScreenWright computes the display of on-screen fonts
while it is waiting for you to enter keystrokes.
As a result, if you enter new text it may take a
short period of time before control characters
disappear and fonts are drawn in their final
colors.
@120
&CENTER LINE
Keystroke sequence: 120
) Alternate keystrokes: 120
The current line will be centered between the
left and right margins. This command is active
only when Word Wrap mode is on.
@121
&SET COLORS
Keystroke sequence: 121
) Alternate keystrokes: 121
All of the editor colors can be customized to
your liking. Independent color settings are
available for normal text, block marked text,
window status lines, the prompt line at the top
of the screen, text in menus and prompt boxes,
menu frames, the highlighted character by which
each menu item may be selected, the currently
selected menu item, the block cursor (when
active), and each of the five selectable fonts.
]
The colors that you select are saved with
ScreenWright when you execute the Options Save
setup command.
@122
&SAVE SETUP
Keystroke sequence: 122
) Alternate keystrokes: 122
The toggles, settings, colors, and options are
stored as ScreenWright defaults when this command is

&Spell Checking
) Main: 169 Alternate: 169
In combination with Turbo Lightning, Borland's RAM
resident spelling checker and thesaurus,
ScreenWright will spell-check any of your documents.
Lightning must be installed, or an error will
occur.
ScreenWright checks the document in the current
screen window. By default, checking proceeds from
the current cursor position to the end of the
file. If a block is marked and visible, only that
block will be checked.
]
ScreenWright contains a small built-in dictionary of
the 500 most commonly used English words. This
dictionary is kept in memory at all times in order
to accelerate the checking process.
Once the operation begins, ScreenWright keeps you
advised of its progress on the status line. The
line and column counters tell you what part of the
document is being checked, as does the percentage
indicator. These are updated each time a new word
is checked.
]
When Lightning finds a word that it does not
recognize, the screen will be updated to highlight
the word, and a popup menu will ask you to select
an option. Select by moving the bar and pressing
<Enter> or by pressing the first character of any
of the options:
) Skip once
) Ignore the spelling of this word in only this
) one instance.
) Ignore for this document
) Ignore the spelling of this word for the
) duration of the check.
]
) List Lightning sound-alikes
) Display a list of sound-alike words from
) Lightning's dictionary. Select one and press
) <Enter>, or press <Esc> to return to the
) previous menu.
) Edit from the keyboard
) A prompt box will appear to allow interactive
) editing of the word. Press <Enter> to accept,
) or <Esc> to return to the previous menu. You
) may use Lightning's interactive modes at this
) time. ScreenWright will recheck the word after
) you finish editing it.
]
) Mark with "~"
) Place a tilde in front of the word. After
) the document has been checked, you can use
) the Find Pattern command to locate the marked
) words.
) Add to dictionary
) Add the word to Lightning's auxiliary
) dictionary (usually AUXI.DIC). A secondary
) menu of case selections will appear. Press
) <Esc> to return to the previous menu, or
) <Enter> to add to the dictionary.
]
) Batch mark rest of document
) Cancel the interactive mode normally used
) for spell-checking. From this point on, all
) unrecognized words are marked with tildes
) (~).
A spell-checking operation may be stopped by
pressing <Esc> at the corrections menu (once a
misspelling is found) or by pressing any key while
a file is being checked. In the latter case, a
prompt box will be displayed, asking if you want
to stop. Press Y to stop, N to continue.
