and is replaced by the merged file. When you want to clear the work area and load
the file at the top of the work area, use the LF command.
If you move the cursor to a line far enough down that there is not enough room
in the work area to hold the current document and the file you want to load, only
as many lines from the loaded file as can fit in the work area are loaded. The rest
of the stored document is not loaded. No message is generated to inform you of
the partial load.
Error Messages
If the message FILE NOT FOUND >» is displayed on the status line after you
issue an MF command, the disk in the drive does not contain the file whose name
you typed in response to LOAD FILE. Either the wrong disk is in the drive or you
misspelled the file name when you typed it. Check the disk catalog to make sure
the file exists on that disk; then reissue the command. If the file does not exist on
the disk and you are sure you have the right disk, most likely the file was never
saved. If you must switch disks, be sure to issue the ID command after doing so.
If the message NO FILE! is displayed on the status line, the disk drive is not
connected, or is not turned on, or no disk is inserted in the drive.
*P WP
Prints a copy of the document currently in the word processor work area. You
can use *P (Print) only to print single work area documents. Use PR to print
linked files.
Before you issue a *P command, make sure the printer is connected and turned
on and that the paper is properly inserted.
Note: When you want to print data from the spreadsheet or the file manager,
you must first transfer the data to the word processor.
Note: To abort a printout, press the RUN/STOP key until the PRESS
RETURN prompt appears; then turn off your printer.
PR WP
Lets you print a copy of a linked series of word processor files. When docu
ments contain the LINKFILE command, you can use the PR (PRint) command
to print the linked files as an uninterrupted series. When you want to print only
one file, use the *P command, not the PR command. You cannot use the *P
command to print linked files.
The PR command is a complex command that performs several tasks; it saves,
loads, and prints files. Linked files are loaded and printed automatically.
