Section 1. Word Processor Commands 101
Drawing Point Graphs
The graph generator creates only bar graphs, but you can edit the graphs to make
them point graphs. Point graphs show only the top value from each graph column
whereas bar graphs show a solid bar for each column. You can create point
graphs simply by erasing all the # signs in the bar graph except for the top one.
After you edit the graph to erase all but the top # sign, you may want to change
the # signs to some other symbol, such as the * sign or the % sign. To do this, use
the RE (search and replace) command to substitute other symbols for the # sign.
Section 1. Word Processor Commands
You can use the word processor to write any type of document. You can transfer
data from any of the other programs and print this information as part of a word
processor document. The word processor contains a variety of useful, time-saving
features.
The word processor work area is 77 columns across and 99 lines long. If you are
writing a document longer than 99 lines, you can link files together with the
LINKFILE instruction and print the linked files as though they were one contin
uous file.
The following commands let you control the word processor work area and
manipulate the text to suit your needs. Commands for formatting printed output
are explained in Section 2.
