x ( -- ) Copies the current line into the insert buffer and extracts |
the line from the block. |
String Operators |
================ |
F or ( -- ) Copies the given string into the find buffer, then |
F xxx finds the string in the current block. |
S or ( n -- ) Copies the given string into the find buffer, then |
S xxx searches the range of blocks, starting from the current |
block and edning with n-1 for the string. |
E ( -- ) To be used after F. Erase as many characters as are |
currently in the find buffer, going backwards from |
the cursor |
D or ( -- ) Copies the given string into the find buffer, then |
D xxx deletes all characters starting from the current line |
and deletes it. |
TILL or ( -- ) Copies the given string into the find buffer, then deletes |
TILL xxx all characters starting from the current cursor position |
up TILL and including the string. |
I or ( -- ) Copies the given string into the insert buffer, then |
I xxx inserts the contents of the insert buffer at the point |
just behind the cursor. |
R or ( -- ) Combines the commands E and I to replace a found string |
R xxx with a given string or the contents of the insert |
buffer. |
BLOCK OPERATORS |
=============== |
N ( -- ) Selects the next block, and leaves its block number on |
the stac |
B ( -- ) Selects the block BEHIND current, and leaves its block |
number on the stack. |
L ( -- ) Lists the current block |
TIPS |
==== |
LIST a block, if it's new, use WIPE (or w) to clear it. |
You can use T to type the line and make it current, i.e. |
10 T |
Types line 10, and makes it current. |
P FOO |
Will put FOO on the current line, |
U FOO |
Will put FOO under the current line, and make it the new current line. |
All lines below that will be pushed down. Bottom line scrolls off. |
deletes the current line, all lines below it move up. |

I. Liz Deal's Contributions |
A. Pre-SuperScript |
CompuServe name: PRESSC.BIN |
Original name: "pre-superscript" (Basic program) |
SuperScript II, one of the very best word processing programs ever written |
for any brand of computer, was designed for the British version of the B128, |
the Commodore 700. Even after four years this is the only software for any |
microcomputer known to permit column moves (aside from dedicated |
wordprocessors), and many other advanced features are also included. Yet two |
major problems occur when running SuperScript on the B128: keybounce (a letter |
prints twice when you touch a key just once) and erratic cursor movement (the |
cursor will only move four or five places when you hold down the cursor key, |
then it pauses for a second before resuming). Both problems are due to the |
British use of 50 cycle AC, while American computers are plugged into a 60 |
cycle network. Liz Deal wrote this program, which will fix both bugs if you |
run it before loading SuperScript. This magic is accomplished by a machine |
language routine which intercepts the hardware interrupts, and which is a |
separate file on CompuServe: |
CompuServe name: IRQ400.BIN |
Rename to: "+ta irq.400" (machine language program) |
Another CompuServe file contains a thorough explanation of what creating this |
patch involved: |
