4. Put the cell cursor in the cell that is to be the top left corner of the block you are
moving to the word processor.
5. Enter command mode and type BLKM AP and the cell number for the bottom
right corner of the block. For example, type BLKMAP 7;3 to move data from
the current cell cursor position to cell 7;3.
The message WORKING is displayed briefly while the transfer is taking
place.
6. Switch to the word processor (B C, then TW and RETURN).
After the spreadsheet data have been moved, they become part of the word
processor document and can be manipulated by all the word processor com
mands. But the data are now text and can no longer be updated by the spreadsheet
commands.
You can also use the MAP command to transfer spreadsheet data to the word
processor. MAP transfers data row by row, not in blocks. Use the MAP com
mand when you want to transfer longer cell entries that do not appear in the cells
but are held in memory. BLKMAP transfers only the 11 characters per cell that
appear in the spreadsheet work area.
Example: BLKMAPS3;7
Transfers the block of data from the current cell cursor
location to cell 23;7.
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.
Example: ca Lists a catalog of files on the current disk.
