2. To perform the commands in the OBEY file, exit from the OBEY file.
Then open the file on which you want to perform the commands; in this
case, it would be the TABLE file (which is already open).
3. Put the cursor on the first character of the first line where you want
TEDIT to begin performing the commands.
4. Press *C. When the response line appears, type the following
command:
Command: 8# OBEY LAZY
OBEY command
The name of the OBEY file
The repeat count repeats
the command eight times.
5. Press *C again. TEDIT performs the commands in LAZY on the TABLE
file.
Establishing Column
Headings
To establish where to put column headings, first decide how wide you want
the horizontal headings (the department names) to be. One of the headings,
“printing and distribution,” is much wider than the rest. Use SENTENCE
plus INSERT to move “distribution” down to the next line.
After you determine the width of the horizontal headings (these actually
function as the first column of the table), you can use RULER to decide
where to place the rest of the columns. You can probably tell by looking at
the column headings that they will not fit in the 79-character view of the
screen you are looking at now. With TEDIT, however, you can create a file
that is up to 239 characters wide. To work with a file that is wider than
79 characters, you scroll the screen horizontally from left to right.
