DSTAR HAS RECEIVED MANY.LETTERS THAT WER
E WRITTEN WITH OUR.ON-DISK WORD PROCESSO
R, DISKWRITER..IRONICALLY, SOME OF THESE
LETTERS.EXPRESS THE OPINION THAT DISKWR
ITER.LEAVES SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED...
WELL, IN A SENSE, THEY'RE CORRECT..DIS
KWRITER WAS WRITTEN WITH A.SPECIFIC PURP
OSE IN MIND, TO ALLOW.YOU, OUR READERS,
TO EASILY WRITE.YOUR COMMENTS ON A DISK
FOR US TO.READ. FOR THAT PURPOSE IT WORK
S QUITE.WELL... WE MENTIONED THAT YOU
MIGHT WANT.TO USE DISKWRITER AS YOUR OW
N.MINI-WORD-PROCESSOR. THE PROBLEM IS.T
HAT THE PROGRAM ALWAYS SAVES ITS.FILE AS
"COMMENTS", SO YOU CAN ONLY.REALISTICAL
LY SAVE ONE FILE PER DISK,.UNLESS YOU RE
NAME EACH FILE, FROM THE.IMMEDIATE MODE,
AS YOU WRITE THEM..THIS IS NOT TOO HAND
Y... WHEN DISKWRITER WAS WRITTEN AND.
ADDED TO THE LOADSTAR ENVIRONMENT,.TIMES
WERE DIFFERENT. DISKS WERE.RELATIVELY
EXPENSIVE AND WE HAD AN.UNUSUAL POLICY W
HERE READERS WOULD.RETURN EACH ISSUE IN
ORDER TO GET THE.NEXT. THAT POLICY HAS
THANKFULLY.CHANGED AND IT'S TIME THAT DI
SKWRITER.CHANGED ALONG WITH IT.. WE H
AVE BEEN USING A VERSION OF.DISKWRITER C
ALLED EDSTAR TO WRITE ALL.OF OUR TEXT FI
LES FOR THE DISK. THIS.MONTH WE HAVE EM
BELLISHED IT A BIT.AND NOW YOU HAVE A RE
AL MINI-WORD-.PROCESSOR THAT YOU CAN USE
FOR ANY.TWO-COLUMN DOCUMENTS YOU WANT..
. FIRST OF ALL, IT DOESN'T.AUTOMATICA
LLY LOAD IN A FILE CALLED."COMMENTS". I
NSTEAD YOU ARE ASKED.FOR THE FILENAME OF
THE FILE YOU WANT.TO WORK ON. IF YOU A
RE STARTING A.FILE FROM SCRATCH, JUST AN
SWER NO BY.PRESSING N. CONVERSELY, WHEN
YOU.WANT TO SAVE YOUR FILE, YOU PRESS.C
TRL-S AND THEN YOU'LL BE PROMPTED.FOR A
FILENAME... ANOTHER OBVIOUS DIFFERENC
E IS.THAT CTRL-X, RATHER THAN CTRL-E,.QU
ITS THE PROGRAM. YOUR FILE IS NOT.AUTOM
ATICALLY SAVED UPON EXITING..CTRL-S IS T
HE ONLY WAY TO SAVE... THERE ARE OTHE
R DIFFERENCES THAT.AREN'T SO OBVIOUS. L
URKING INSIDE.THE CODE ARE SOME NEW (TO
YOU).FEATURES THAT WE THINK YOU'LL LIKE.
.PRESS CTRL-H TO SEE THE HELP SCREEN.AND
YOU'LL SEE WHAT THEY ARE... ALL OF T
HE NEW FUNCTIONS ARE.ACCESSED BY FIRST P
RESSING CTRL-F FOR.FUNCTION. AFTER DOIN
G THAT, THE.FUNCTION KEYS WILL MOVE YOU
THROUGH.THE TEXT QUICKLY... F1 AND F7
WILL TAKE YOU DIRECTLY.TO THE START OR
END OF THE TEXT FILE.IN MEMORY. F3 AND
F5 PAGE THROUGH.THE TEXT TEN LINES AT A
TIME... THE NEXT TWO COMMANDS, CTRL-S
AND.CTRL-G FOR SPLIT AND GLUE, ARE VERY
.HANDY AND A LITTLE TRICKY. THE BEST.WA
Y TO SEE WHAT THEY DO IS TO PLAY.AROUND
WITH THEM. NOTICE THAT CTRL-S.PRESSED A
FTER A CTRL-F IS DIFFERENT.FROM A REGULA
R CTRL-S, FOR SAVE... CTRL-W IS PRETT
Y STRAIGHTFORWARD..IT GETS RID OF ANY LE
ADING SPACES IN.A LINE. THE SAME WITH C
TRL-A. IF.YOU HAVE A FILE IN MEMORY, TO
ADD.ANOTHER FILE TO THE END OF IT JUST.
PRESS CTRL-A AND ENTER THE FILENAME..
CTRL-Z IS LIKE A BULK DELETER..PRESS TH
