ZX Word - description text editor ZX Word 2.5.

       Small Manual of ZX Word 2.5 +



Pleased to welcome all fans (and nelyubiteley) ZX Worda!

 This document was created to acquaint you with version 2.5 + 
mentioned ZX Worda




              I. Introduction



  It seems to me the whole package ZXW designed pretty well. 
Agree, an opportunity to communicate with an IBM machine at 
texts - it is wonderful! In addition, I think it's really the 
first one after TLW a good text editor, running

TR-DOSom and surrounded by the utilities. So humiliating, it 
was found that the implementation of planned has turned out not 
very successful, ie general idea of ​​course maintained and 
implemented, but particularly (hereinafter it is a text editor 
ZXW) ... Can, in principle, pay no attention to

interface, probably calculated on a black and white monitor. 
Can be reconciled with the fact that pressing <Edit> in windows 
type Retry / Abort is equivalent to pressing <Enter>. But how 
about the obvious glitches encountered in the editor.


  Apparently, there is no point bore you with listing all the 
bugs or glitches, except to say that among them came across as 
a harmless (Expressed, for example, the mismatch

displayed and the actual text) and
fatal (resets or freezes
computer) ... The presence of these zaglyuchennostey together 
with a desire to have quality editor for TR-DOS and brought to 
life ZXW 2.5 +


  Immediately make a reservation, in fact version
2.5 + is a revised and extended
version 2.1, and it owes its name to
to the fact that it has a command
search and replace (as far as I had noticed while studying the 
version 2.5, it differs from 2.1 the presence of four new teams 
are which reduces to the implementation of the search and 
replace). 

  On this end, let a short lyrical introduction and proceed to 
describe proper ZXW 2.5 +

<F> Formatting from the selected block


   When you call the given menus, which
figures correspond to the number column (Col),
from which will:


   Left 2-left border

   Right 60-right border

   Old 2-old paragraph (at Col Є Old)

   New 5-a new paragraph

       Ok-start formatting

     Cancel-reject (also by <Edit>)


   Note the new meaning of the parameter New - now it is not 
indented from the Left, a column on which to house the new

paragraph - these things allows us to construct paragraphs of 
the form: 

 EEEEEEE | ​​EEEEE | ​​EEE

   EEEEE | ​​EEEEE | ​​EEEEE

   EEEEE | ​​EEEEE | ​​EEEEE



  <X> Search and replace


   When you call a window to the following:


   Find: [] string-sample

   Change: [] string-replacement


   Text Block Curs Cancel menu areas


   Selection of options by the keys:
<,> And <Enter>

 Options define the scope of the team
Search:
-----------------------------------------
Text - from beginning to end of text
Block - from the beginning to the end of the block
Curs - by tech. cursor to the end of the text
Cancel - exit the command (also on the Break)


     After selecting any option (except Cancel) you will have 
the opportunity edit the 'sample' (Edit mode, see below) and 
then starts to search in your chosen field. 

 The search is performed on the following criteria:
-----------------------------------------

    - If the first character of 'sample' different
from the point (".") then 'pattern' is perceived
as a mask, ie ignored when searching
height of letters (uppercase or lowercase) and
character "." matches any single character


    - If the first character of 'sample' is
"." then the search is conducted on the direct match remaining 
characters 


    We explain the search modes is an example:


line-pattern matching notes

[Ob.a.Ets] "Sample" search on

                "OB.aEets" pattern and

                "ObTareTs" etc.

[. Ob.a.Ets] Ob.a.Ets "only one

                             coincidence


 In case of not finding the occurrences of 'pattern':
-----------------------------------------

   I get a message "String not found" and
after pressing any key, you return to the menu areas.

 In the case of a successful search:
 -------------------------
   cursor will be set to the found
occurrence, and will lead you to the familiar
box, but now it will contain
A new menu:


    Next Change All Cancel menu

                                  Action

 Next - look for the next occurrence of 'sample'
 Change - replace the current instance
'Sample'
 All - Replace all occurrences of 'pattern'
starting from the current cursor to the end of
 Cancel - exit the command (also on )


   In addition to the options there is a "hot key: <Extend> - 
go to the menu area and back



     When selecting options or Change All the opportunity to 
edit 'Replacement' (Edit mode, see below)

after which the current occurrence of 'sample' or replaced by 
'replacement', or if the 'replacement' is empty (ie contains 
only whitespace) - simply removed, and then looks for the 
following occurrence of 'sample'.


     Further, in case of Change happens
back to the window, and in the case All - replacement
and re-search, etc. until no
will be replaced by the last occurrence of 'sample', then 
exited from the team. In developing All taken into account 
setup Visual (ON / OFF), except that execution can be stopped 
by pressing . 

 In edit mode, you have the following keys:
-----------------------------------------

<Edit> - Rus / Lat
 - Installation / removal of Caps Lock
<Graph> - Installation / removal of the regime 'Grf'

  > - On the symbol to the right
 <- Character to the left
<Enter> - Complete commissioning and start resp. option
 - Otkazatsya from editing and
return to menu


    Thus access to all the characters
except control (with codes 0Ў31), but
it is possible to get some of the
them - this requires being in the mode 'Grf' press  
together with one of the following keys:


key +  code Note


   ~ 12 transfer format

   | 9 tabs

  <F> {13 carriage return

  <G>} 10 newline

  <0> _ 0, just in case


     This possibility exists only
domestic EditMode search commands, and allows some to expand
scope of commands: for example,
search and replace the ends of lines (end ZXW
line defined by a pair of characters - 13.10) and
etc. Warning: do not delete
or replace -------- characters 13 and 10 to
separately, because this may lead to
unpredictable results!



 
 Correction of text

 The team carries out comprehensive testing and if necessary, 
adjust the structure of the text. Here "correct lyrics "refers 
to a text in which: 

   - All lines end with a pair of characters - 13.10.
 - There are no characters with code 0

 In accordance with this team performs
the following steps:
-----------------------------------------

   - Removed code 0;

   - All codes are 13 (unless they are to be
code 10) are replaced by a pair of characters 13.10;

   - All codes are 10 (if they face no code 13) are replaced by 
a pair of characters 13,10


 This command is recommended:
----------------------------------------- After the emergency 
exit (with overflow buffer) to the main menu (note: if

signified overflow happens when the
the team, then, of course, for a start
must unload the buffer) - in those cases
when there is a suspicion (or confidence)
that the text contains characters 13 and 10 are not in pairs - 
in this case in the editor there are small sboychiki (eg,

can not go to the line up, etc.)

   - When working with "Loging" files

 Note: The correction may potrebovatsya ---------- some time, 
so that do not be alarmed if the program is a bit hung - that's 
fine (but if you another opinion on this matter, then boldly

click )



       V. Epilogue

 So, you got to the last section.
I hope that after reading you have no doubts - ZX Word 2.5 + is 
that You need! If you read the description, you are puzzled 
glances at his keyboard, unsuccessfully trying to find her keys

type <Extend> or , then do not despair - try to look 
into the application (Ibid., incidentally, contains some 
recommendations for using the editor). 


  I can only thank you for
attention and wish you good luck ...

            Appendix I.

    Some recommendations on the use
           Niya ZXWord'a.


 1. With the selection of the editor
slows down considerably, so it's best
after the completion of transactions with the unit, remove
selection - block boundary is not to be lost and you can 
restore them by using Command O.  2. To quickly move the cursor

Use text Kempston Joystick.
 3. To separate pages for printing, use code 12.
 4. As is known, the options Save, and Print work by default or 
with the block (if it selected), or with the text entirely. 
Therefore, Be careful - if you want to print or save the entire 
text, you need to deselect it.  5. Never format large text

entirely - it's not that the program
spoil the text, not at all, it does not
program, and you yourself, and it will happen
only through what some 10Ў15 minutes after
begin formatting: hand automatically
stretched to the Reset button and ...

    The best way out of this situation - not
get into it, so the format text
by indention (or small groups of paragraphs). And if you type 
text, better to do this: type some text

-Formatted it.
