Information about “ESL WRITER 1 OF 2 (ALSO 900)”
ESL WRITER is a word processing program and four help programs
especially designed for the writing student.
Help files are included for commands, punctuation, grammar, and revision
and can be accessed from within the program or viewed from the outside.
ESL WRITER has a pull-down menu system for the most common editing
commands, while other commands are described in detail in the command
help file. Use your own printer control characters for print formats
(e.g., underlining, italics, bold print, etc.), making ESL WRITER
compatible with any printer.
INVISIBLE WRITER lets the user type without seeing the text, which can
be brought to the screen with a single command. This helps writers
concentrate on their thought processes and content, rather than grammar,
punctuation, or spelling errors.
LISTER asks simple questions and provides ideas to help develop a topic
and choose a thesis, and 1001 TOPICS contains 1,358 topics in twenty-one
categories that are suitable for many different types of composition.
