What is
PS TEXT EDIT?
PS TEXT EDIT (TEDIT) is a full-screen editing program that allows you to
create a document and store it on the computer. You store the document in
a file, which is a particular space that exists in the computer’s memory and
is physically located on a disk.
TEDIT is a full-screen (or block mode) editor; with this kind of editor, you
can change text anywhere on the screen at any time. You can use the editor
to enter, modify, delete, and rearrange text easily. (Other types of editors—
such as line editors—allow you to change text on only one line at a time,
enter the line, then go on to the next line.)
What is
PS TEXT FORMAT?
PS TEXT FORMAT (TFORM) is a text formatting program. You use a text
formatter to control the printed appearance of the text stored in an edit file.
TFORM is an optional program available from Tandem, which you may not
have on your system. If you do not have TFORM, you can use TEDIT with
another formatter that is available to you.
Some of the TFORM commands determine page layout by setting margins
and text spacing. Other commands control text alignment, justification,
indentation, and paragraph display. You can also use TFORM to add
special touches to your text, including headers, footers, boxes, lists, and
styling features such as bolding, underlining, and shadow printing.
