Command Mode Commands
CA WP, FM, SS
Displays a listing of all the files on the current disk. The file catalog includes the
following information:
File names
File lengths (stated in blocks)
Blocks remaining on the disk
Spreadsheet files have a .c suffix appended to each file name. Word processor
files have no suffix. File manager disks (each file should have its own) show only
their name and blocks free. The total blocks free on the disk shows you how much
space remains out of the blank disk total of 664.
The catalog information is displayed on a separate screen. The work area is not
affected; you can display a disk catalog at any time. When you finish looking at
the catalog and press RETURN, the intact work area is returned to the screen.
CB WP
Lets you create a text block of up to 16 lines. After a block is created, you can
move it as a whole to any location in the work area. You can also erase the block.
To create a text block, follow these steps:
1. Move the cursor to the last line of the block.
2. Use the SP (Set Pointer) command to set the end of the block.
3. Move the cursor to the first line of the block.
4. Issue the CB (Create Block) command to create the block.
After the block is created, you can insert it elsewhere by moving the cursor to
the new location and issuing an IB (Insert Block) command. You can erase a
block with the DB (Delete Block) command.
