130 The Built-in Software
1. When you want to transfer data from the spreadsheet row by row with the
MAP command. MAP lets you transfer data manually, and half-screen mode
lets you see both work areas while you use MAP.
2. When you need to refer to spreadsheet data while you are writing a word
processor document, but do not want to transfer the data.
3. When you need to get data from the word processor for use in the spreadsheet.
You cannot transfer data from the word processor to the spreadsheet, but
half-screen mode lets you view any part of the word processor work area while
you are working in the spreadsheet.
When you first issue the HA command in the word processor, the screen is split
in half, but the spreadsheet is not displayed in the work area. When you first issue
the HA command in the spreadsheet, the spreadsheet is displayed in the bottom
half of the screen, and the word processor work area is not visible. To bring up the
other program, issue a TC or TW command. The other program is then displayed
on the other half of the screen.
Cursor Control
Although you can see partial work areas from both programs, you can use only
one program at a time. The cursor can move around only half of the screen, and
the keyboard is under the control of the current program. You cannot type any
information into the other program. To switch between programs, you must still
issue TC and TW commands. The status line at the bottom of the screen indicates
which program currently controls the keyboard.
When you are in half-screen mode, you can still view any segment of the whole
work areas of either program. Just use the cursor keys and other cursor move
ment keys to display other parts of the work area on the half screen.
HOME SS
Moves the cell cursor directly and quickly to cell 1;1.
Example: home Moves the cell cursor directly to cell 1; 1.
ID WP,SS
Initializes the current disk. Before you use the ID (Initialize Disk) command,
make sure the drive is on and the disk is inserted.
You can initialize the disk at any time. Your current work is not affected, nor
are any files on the disk. Whenever you change disks, you should issue the ID
command after you insert the second disk so that it is initialized.
