How to Use This
Manual
The Table of Contents, the Glossary, and the Index contain entries for both
Part One, “Using PS TEXT EDIT” and Part Two, “Using PS TEXT
FORMAT.” Use the Table of Contents and the Index to locate sections or
pages that discuss specific functions. Refer to the tab dividers for lists of the
functions covered in each section or read the overview or summary of each
section for a reminder of what that section contains. Use the Glossary as a
quick reference; it contains definitions for the terms shown in italic in the
text.
Part One: Using
PS TEXT EDIT
Work through Part One of the manual from beginning to end. You use the
manual this way for two reasons: 1) you accumulate the knowledge you
need for later sections as you go along and 2) you create documents in the
beginning that you reuse later on. The TEDIT sections are set up according
to this scheme:
In Section 1 you create a simple document—a one-paragraph memo
announcing a quarterly budget meeting. You learn how to create a file,
move around on the screen, use the online help, and exit from TEDIT.
In Section 2 you revise the memo, familiarizing yourself with the
terminal keys and the TEDIT function keys, and using the command
line for functions not associated with function keys. You also learn how
to undo mistakes.
In Section 3 you create a three-column agenda for the budget meeting.
You learn how to customize TEDIT to facilitate creating a columned list
like an agenda.
In Section 4 you create a form letter, using the memo from Section 2 as
rough-draft copy. The form letter gives personalized instructions to
people attending the budget meeting. You use more of the customizing
features of TEDIT, learn how to copy text from one file to another, and
use the TEDIT search and replace features.
