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
