PREFACE¶

THE PRODUCT¶

This handbook gets you started using NOTIS-WP version M, ND-10079 M.

NOTIS-WP is a word processing system with many features that make the job of a typist almost fun. There are extensive editing and formatting functions.

Text is entered and edited using a terminal or VDU (video display unit). It can then be printed directly on a printer such as a PHILIPS.

THE READER¶

This manual is intended for people with little or no experience with computerized word processing. More experienced users will also benefit from it and will find the manual a useful learning tool.

PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE¶

No prerequisite knowledge is necessary to use either this manual or NOTIS-WP. Of course a basic familiarity with the principles of electronic word processing is a definite advantage.

THIS HANDBOOK¶

This is a TEMPORARY introduction to NOTIS-WP. It gives you the basic knowledge you will need to begin using NOTIS-WP. It is not meant to be a complete guide to all the features of the system, and it will be replaced by NOTIS-WP User Guide, ND-63.018, which will be released in the autumn of 1985.

There are two tutorials to help you understand and use the RULERS, STANDARD TEXTS, and USER DEFINABLE KEYS.

There are three appendices and an index. APPENDIX A explains how to log in if you do not have USER ENVIRONMENT on your system. APPENDIX B is a quick reference guide to the special function and navigation keys. APPENDIX C is a simplified guide to the FACIT-4410-ND-NOTIS terminal and non-NOTIS terminals.

For a complete introduction to word processing, see NOTIS-WP User Guide, ND-63.018.2 EN (to be released in the autumn of 1985). The following manuals may also be of use:

Introduction¶

Important Note¶

This manual is a TEMPORARY introduction to NOTIS-WP M, it will be replaced by NOTIS-WP M user guide, ND-63.018 in the autumn of 1985. The user guide will be a much better manual, in B5 format. We hope that the present manual will be of help to you in getting started until you receive the user guide.

Advantages of NOTIS-WP¶

NOTIS-WP does all the things you can do with a typewriter and much more.

It makes correction of mistakes quick, easy and less messy.
It has an automatic line shift, which gives you a carriage return automatically when you come to the right border.
You can delete, copy, move, underline and change the case of text with ease. See chapter 6.
It does arithmetic. See page 58.
It sorts lines alphabetically and numerically. See page 59.
You can press the HELP key at any time for terms unknown to the user or explanations of error messages. See page 22.
NOTIS-WP M is page oriented. You can move directly to any page number. See page 28.
All of your margin and tab settings are stored with the text, so you do not have to reset them each time you edit. You can type and edit numbers or leading texts to the left or right of your paragraphs. There is a step-by-step tutorial starting on page 127. See page 34 for a summary of functions.
You may create libraries of standard texts that can be fetched quickly by name. See pages 53 and 111 for a summary.
User Definable Keys (UDKs) The 14 keys of the numeric keypad can be programmed with text and functions. See page 113 for a summary and chapter 15 for a tutorial.

Introduction¶

NOTIS-ID (electronic mail) and NOTIS-DS (document storage). Provided that they are installed on your system, you may take advantage of these new products directly from NOTIS-WP M. See page 124.

These are a few of the features that NOTIS-WP has and which we will describe in this manual.

What Equipment Does the System Need to Run NOTIS-WP?¶

A terminal (VDU - Video Display Unit). It looks like a TV screen.
A keyboard. It is like the typewriter keyboard except that it has a lot more keys to do special functions.
An ND computer which carries out all the functions and stores your work in its memory.
One or more printers. This is how you get paper copies of your work with NOTIS-WP.

This is the basic equipment. There can be other pieces of equipment (what we call hardware), but you don't need to know about them to use NOTIS-WP.

Some Questions¶

Have you used ND computers before?

Do you know how to establish contact with the computer?

Yes? Skip to chapter 3.

No? Turn to chapter 2.

# How to start using NOTIS-WP M

## THE COMMAND MENU

The first two lines are the COMMAND MENU. It allows you to give commands without remembering letters or symbols.

## SCREEN FEATURES

When the CURSOR (a lighted rectangle) is in HOME position (the top line of the screen), one choice in the main menu is highlighted. The command list for the highlighted choice is shown on the second line.

## TEXT AREA

The blank space in the middle of your screen is the TEXT AREA. This is where you type your text. To move the CURSOR to the TEXT AREA, press the HOME key. Press the HOME key again to move back to HOME position (the COMMAND MENU).

## RULER LINE

The third line from the top of the screen is the RULER. It has numbers, T's and is underlined. The RULER has the margin and tabulator settings.

## STATUS LINE

The bottom line of the screen is green with dark writing. This is the STATUS LINE. It gives you important information about which features of NOTIS-WP are turned on or off (more about these later).

## TO CHANGE THE TERMINAL TYPE:

If the STATUS LINE does not appear in inverse video, it means that you must change the terminal type.

+----------------------------------------+ | 1. WP:! (ie., exclamation mark) | | 2. WP:New terminal type: 93 [illegible]| +----------------------------------------+

This is of course for the NOTIS terminal, ND 320. For a list of the correct terminal types, press the HELP key (upper left hand corner of the keyboard) twice and then type TERMINAL TYPE followed by [illegible]. A list of the terminal types will appear on your screen.

The STATUS LINE should now be in inverse video. What is on the STATUS LINE may differ from system to system.

You are now ready to begin using NOTIS-WP.

## IMPORTANT NOTE!

If you get an error message, press the HELP key immediately to get an explanation of that error message. When you are finished reading the HELP, press the HOME key to return to the TEXT AREA.

## HOW TO ENTER TEXT USING NOTIS-WP

To begin to type, press ↑. The cursor will move into what we call the TEXT AREA. (This is the area that begins with the third line from the top of your screen and ends with the STATUS LINE at the bottom.) You may now begin to enter text as you would on a typewriter, except that when you come to the end of the line you just keep typing. NOTIS-WP will move to the next line automatically. This is called WORD WRAP.

Type in the following paragraphs for practice.

If you make a mistake, press the left arrow key (←) and simply type over the mistake. We will discuss other ways of correcting mistakes in the next chapter.

Page 25¶

Storing Text¶

What you type in the TEXT AREA is only temporary until you STORE it in a document.

Documents are what you use to save text that you have entered using NOTIS-WP. They are like drawers in a cupboard. You put your work in them, give it a name and later you can get it out again when you want to see it again or make some changes to it.

Here is how to STORE text:

+-----------------------------------------------+
| If you are in the TEXT AREA, press ␣          |
|                                               |
| WP: D then S (Documents then $tore)           |
|                                               |
| WP:Store document: _PRACTICE-1_' ↵            |
|                                               |
| WP:Storing: PRACTICE-1:TEXT          -------- |
|                                               |
| WP:14 lines stored (598 bytes)                |
+-----------------------------------------------+

Note that the last line in the above example is information that NOTIS-WP gives you to tell you that it has stored your work. The numbers, of course, will be different each time.

Page 26¶

How to Start Using NOTIS-WP M¶

To STORE what you have typed in the TEXT AREA, you must first move the cursor back to HOME position.

In HOME position, press D (Documents) then press S (Store) and the following message will appear:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|                                   WP:Store document:                       |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are storing a text for the first time, you must create a name for it so that you can find it again and bring it back to your screen. Begin with " (double quotes) and then use letters and/or numbers (which may be separated by hyphens) and end with " (double quotes). Note that you may only use letters and numbers and the only separators that you may use are hyphens, spaces are not allowed. Next press ↵.

STORE the text that you typed before on a document that you call "PRACTICE-1".

You have now created a document which contains all the text in the TEXT AREA. If you change some of your text (edit it) and then want to STORE the changes in the same document, press:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|                              (If you are in the TEXT AREA)                 |
| WP: D S                                                           |
| WP:Store document: ↵ (name comes automatically)                     |
| ↵ (then the text is stored)                                        |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first ↵ displays your document name (remember that you created it before with the double quotes “ ”). You should look and see that the name is correct, if it is, press ↵ again. If it is not correct, press F1, type the correct name and then press ↵ again.

IMPORTANT¶

Two points to remember:

To create new document names, type them enclosed in double quotes.
If you STORE text in a document that already exists, the old contents will be replaced by the contents of the TEXT AREA.

Examples: (These are some possibilities for document names. You of course should make up names which relate to your work and make it easy to recall them.)

"My-document"
"Billing-1"
"Billing-2"
"June-minutes"
"UN-5-consult"

Printing Your Text on Paper¶

First STORE your work as described above. Until you do this, your work is not permanent and will be lost if you exit from NOTIS-WP.

To get a printout:

+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Press:                                              |

| WP: Printer:  PHILIPS (LINE-PRINTER) [icon]         |

| WP: Number of pages in document: 1                  |
+-----------------------------------------------------+

After you have pressed PRINT, NOTIS-WP will prompt:

+-----------------------------------------+
| WP: Device Name:                        |
+-----------------------------------------+

Type in the name of the printer you want to print your text on. It could be a PHILIPS, an EPSON or a LINE-PRINTER. (Ask your system supervisor what the name of your printer is. There may be a standard printer, so you only need to press [icon] in answer to Device name. Ask your supervisor about this.)

In the upper right-hand corner of the screen, you will see an arrow moving through a line from left to right. This means NOTIS-WP is sending your text to the printer. The following will appear on the top line of your screen:

+-----------------------------------------+
| Wp: Printing on: your-printer-name      |
+-----------------------------------------+

When the arrow has gone all the way to the right and the message is no longer on the screen, it means that your document has been sent to the printer. Keep in mind, though, that it might be a short while before the finished printout is ready since the printer takes time to print your document.

PAGE CONTROL¶

NOTIS-WP M can show you where page breaks will occur when you print a document. You can also use the GO-TO function or the fat arrow keys (See page 28) together with page breaks to move around your document quickly.

How to start page control¶

Give the command Functions/Pages.

To remove page marks¶

If you wish to remove the page marks rather than updating them, give the menu command Functions/No-pages.

Page marks look like this:¶

§

The first line of each page is indicated at the right side of the screen window with a numbered mark. The mark may temporarily cover a few characters, but the text is not altered by the page mark in any way. Scroll right if you want to see what is under a page mark. Page control takes print directives (to be discussed later) and page size into account.

Page marks are stationary¶

Page marks stay in one place. They do not adjust themselves when you add, delete, or edit text or directives. Page marks do change to half intensity if you add or remove lines. This is to remind you that they are probably not valid anymore. Repeat the page control command to update the page marks.

All page marks are numbered.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 36¶

GO-TO Key and Fat Arrow Keys¶

Next and Previous Page¶

If you have used page control (see previous section), the FAT LEFT and FAT RIGHT arrow keys move the cursor to the top of the previous or next page. If you have not performed page control, these keys have no function.

Move Directly to a Page or a Line Number¶

  ____
 |    |
 |    |
 |____|

This is the GO-TO key. Using GO-TO you can move directly to any page in a document if you have performed page control. If not, you can go directly to any line number. GO-TO will also move the cursor directly into the current ruler. (Rulers will be discussed later.)

Functionality¶

Command	Description
GO-TO ↑	Moves cursor to first line of document.
GO-TO ↓	Moves cursor to end of document.
GO-TO ↵	Places cursor in pos. 1 on first line on screen.
GO-TO ⟨...⟩	Moves cursor into the current ruler line.
GO-TO ⟨region-name⟩ ↵	Moves cursor to start of named region.

With Page Marks:¶

Command	Description
GO-TO ⟨number⟩ ↵	Moves cursor to top of page with that number.

Without Page Marks:¶

Command	Description
GO-TO +/- N ↵	Moves cursor/window forward/backward N lines.
GO-TO ⟨line-number⟩ ↵	Moves cursor to that line number.

Editing Existing Text¶

Making Corrections¶

If you make a typing error, you can correct it in a number of ways. One way is to simply move the cursor back by pressing the ← key, and then type over the mistake. This does not work when you have EXPAND mode on. See below.

Delete Character Key¶

+---+
| a |
+---+

Deletes the character where the cursor is positioned. If there are no more characters to the right of the cursor, it deletes the character to the left of the cursor. It goes very fast if you hold the key down - be careful!

Deleting One Line¶

+----+
| F1 |
+----+

+-------+
|CANCEL |
+-------+

Deletes an entire line where the cursor stands.

Restores the last line deleted with F1, when no text is marked. (Marked text is explained in chapter 5.)
Turns off marking when text is marked.
Cancels changes that you have made in the current line.

Expand Mode¶

+-----+
| INS |
| EXP |
+-----+

This key sets NOTIS-WP in EXPAND mode. When EXPAND mode is on, you can type in new letters or words into your text without typing over what is already there.

If EXPAND mode is on, the word "Expand" will appear (on the STATUS LINE) in the bottom right corner of your screen. The red (or green) light to the left of the EXP. at the very top of the keyboard will also be lighted.

To turn EXPAND mode off, press the INS/EXP key again.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 38¶

Editing Existing Text¶

Blank Line Insertion¶

There are two ways of inserting a blank line between existing lines of text.

This key inserts a blank line above the line where the cursor stands.

+---------+
|   F2    |
+---------+

SHIFT +

+---------+
| INS EXP |
+---------+

Shift plus this key sets NOTIS-WP in APPEND mode. When NOTIS-WP is set in APPEND mode, you will get a blank line inserted in your text every time you press [illegible] or when you get an automatic line feed (wordwrap).

When APPEND mode is on, the word "Append" appears on the STATUS LINE of your screen in inverse video and the red (or green) light to the left of APP. at the very top of the keyboard is lighted.

To turn APPEND mode off, press SHIFT + INS/EXP again.

Find a String¶

You can locate a group of up to 36 characters and spaces very easily. When you are in HOME position give the command Functions/Find.

| WP: F , I {Functions then Find} |

The message:

+------------------+
| WP: Find string: |
+------------------+

will appear on the screen. Type the character(s) you wish to find, then press [illegible].

To find the next occurrence of the string, press the F7 key alone. NOTIS-WP will bring the next occurrence of the string to your screen and place the cursor under the first character.

+---------+
|   F7    |
+---------+

SHIFT +

+---------+
|   F7    |
+---------+

Another way of finding a string is the following: Press SHIFT + F7 either in HOME or in the TEXT AREA.

NOTIS-WP will bring the first occurrence of the character(s) to your screen and place the cursor under the first character of the

Editing Existing Text¶

string. (The word string means any character or group of characters.)

Substitution¶

Throughout your document, you can replace one character, or set of characters, with another, quickly and simply.

In HOME, press the E then R (Functions then Replace). The following will appear on the top line of your screen:

| WP:Replace: | with: | Manual check (Y/N): |

Type the characters that you wish changed, exactly as they appear in your text, followed by ↵. The cursor will move to the right of the word 'with:'.

Next, type in the new characters (and spaces) you wish to replace the old ones with, followed by ↵.

The cursor will now move to 'Manual check:'. Here you must type Y for yes, N for no or ↵ (which is the same as having answered Y).

If you answer Y, NOTIS-WP will bring each occurrence to your screen with the cursor positioned at its first character. You then must decide whether you wish the replacement to happen or not. If you press the Y key, the string will be replaced. If you press the N key, NOTIS-WP will not make the replacement and will bring the next occurrence of the string to the screen.

If you answer manual check with N, NOTIS-WP will automatically replace (substitute) all the occurrences of the string you typed in first with the new string.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 40¶

Editing Existing Text¶

Be very careful using this because it will replace every occurrence, even ones within other words, with the new string. For example, if you want to change "occurrance" to "occurrence" and you only type "an" after "Replace:" and "en" after "with:", NOTIS-WP will change ALL the places where "an" appears to "en", e.g., in "than", "began", etc., so BE CAREFUL!

After all the substitutions have been made, the message:

+---------------------+
|      WP:8 Replacements    |
+---------------------+

will appear in HOME position. This tells you how many substitutions were made.

When using this command, be as precise as possible to avoid mistakes. Remember that NOTIS-WP may or may not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase, depending on what you have set in the Editing Menu. (See page 75.)

Underline as You Type¶

With NOTIS-WP you can automatically underline as you type.

Press this key to turn on the automatic underlining. After you have done this, a line will appear on the Status Line in inverse video, toward the right end. When automatic underlining is on, all characters and spaces that you type will be underlined.

To turn the automatic underlining off, press SHIFT plus this key.

You can also add underlining to, or remove underlining from, text that you have already typed. We will discuss this in chapter 5.

Splitting and Rejoining Lines¶

You may split a line in two.

Place the cursor under the character you want the next line to begin with and press the F5 key, in the upper right of the key board. All the characters to the right of the cursor will be moved down one line and positioned at the left border.

You may rejoin a line to the one above it.

Rulers¶

This section summarizes the ruler functions. Starting on page 127, there is a step-by-step lesson in using the new rulers. Most people can complete those exercises in about an hour.

Margins and Tabulators¶

The ruler holds information about margins, symbolized with ( and ), and tabulator stops, symbolized with T and D.

Text Fields¶

Your text may consist of up to three TEXT FIELDS: a left note margin, the wordwrap area and a right note margin.

Wordwrap Area¶

Part or all of the ruler is underlined. The underlined part of the ruler is called the wordwrap area. In the wordwrap area, you have automatic carriage return when you reach the end of the underline (wordwrap area).

+------------------------------------------------------+
| WP:                                                  |

+------------------------------------------------------+

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 43¶

Editing Existing Text¶

Note Margins¶

If the wordwrap area does not reach all the way to the right or left margin, part of the ruler is not underlined. This is called the right or left note margin. In the note margin there is no wordwrap function. Note margins are primarily intended for leading texts and numbered paragraphs.

    WP:
    Line: 1-21  Column: 1-80  Region: MAIN
    (......1I......I2......I3......I4......I5......I6..T...6..T...7.....)

          without importing rabies?

    ┌────────┐ left note margin
    └────────┘
    ┌────────┐ left margin
    └────────┘

Multiple Rulers¶

Provided that you use the new ND Standard format (S shown at the left of the STATUS line), you may have as many separate rulers in your text as you want. The rulers are stored and fetched with your document, making it unnecessary to set and reset tabulators and margins each time you edit.

    WP:
    Line: 1-21  Column: 1-80  Region: MAIN
    ┌────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┬────..T...5..T...7.......

Setting Tabs¶

In the TEXT AREA, place the cursor in the column where you want a tab.

Press:

If there is no tab set there, NOTIS-WP will set a tab and indicate it with a T in that position on the third line from the top. If there is already a tab set there, NOTIS-WP will remove the tab from that position.

The TAB key both sets and removes tabs! If there is a tab set in the cursor position (indicated by a T in that position on the third line from the top), pressing TAB will remove the tab. If there is no tab set, pressing the TAB key will set a tab there.

Justification¶

Justification refers to the way your text is adjusted within the wordwrap area. There are four possible justification modes: left, right, stretched and centered.

To set the justification mode, you use the orange keys toward the right of the keyboard which look like this:

 __   _____   __
|<<| | JUST | |><|
|__| |_____| |__|

Editing Existing Text¶

Left Justification¶

For left justification, press:

|>>
<<|

Left justification means that the paragraph has a straight left border and a ragged right border. This paragraph is an example of left justification.

Right Justification¶

For right justification, press SHIFT:

|>>
<<|

Right justification means that the right border is straight and the left border is jagged. This paragraph is an example of how right justification looks.

Stretch Justification¶

For stretch justification, press:

|<>
<>

Stretch justification means that both the left and right borders are straight. This paragraph is an example of stretch justification. It makes both the right and the left of the paragraph even.

Center Justification¶

For center justification, press SHIFT:

|<>
<>

Finally, center justification means that the lines of your text are centered between the left and right borders. As you have probably already guessed, this paragraph is an example of what centered text might look like.

Page 47¶

Editing Existing Text¶

The justification mode will be indicated toward the left of STATUS LINE.

<< means left justified (this is default)
>> means right justified
<> means stretch justified
>< means center justified

As you type text in the wordwrap area, NOTIS-WP will automatically justify it according to the mode you have set. If you make corrections, though, you may have to re-justify your text.

When you press JUST, NOTIS-WP M justifies one paragraph. The paragraph will be justified according to the justification mode which is set on the STATUS LINE. There are three ways for you to show what text belongs to the same paragraph:

Leave one line blank within the wordwrap area.
Indent a line from the beginning of the wordwrap area.
Make a paragraph mark.

Paragraph Marks

Paragraph marks look like this. Make them by pressing the NEW PARAGRAPH key. Remove them by placing the cursor to the right of the mark and pressing NEW PARAGRAPH again.

NOTIS-WP has some special functions which allow you to delete, copy, move, underline and change the case of text which you have already entered. You must learn to mark text before you can use these functions. To mark text, use the orange keys on the top row of the keyboard:

+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| MARK| FIELD| PARA| SENT| WORD |
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

WORD MARKING¶

+------+
| WORD |
+------+

When you press this key, you mark the word where the cursor is located. It is marked in inverse video (dark letters on a light background).

NOTIS-WP thinks of a word as all the characters between two spaces. This means that a comma, a full stop or any other character after a word will be taken as part of the word.

To mark three words, press the WORD key three times.

SENTENCE MARKING¶

+------+
| SENT |
+------+

When you press this key, you mark the sentence where the cursor is located. As with word marking, it is marked in inverse video. It does NOT work in the note margins.

In NOTIS-WP a sentence begins with the first character to the right of a full stop, question mark, colon or exclamation mark followed by a space and ends with the next full stop, question mark, colon or exclamation mark followed by a space.

To mark several sentences in a row, press the SENT key once for each sentence to be marked.

MARKING TEXT¶

PARAGRAPH MARKING¶

+-----+
|PARA |
+-----+

Press this key to mark the paragraph in which the cursor is placed. (See page 39 for what NOTIS-WP M means by paragraph.)

You may mark several paragraphs by pressing the PARA key once for each paragraph to be marked.

FIELD MARKING¶

+-----+
|FIELD|
+-----+

This key marks a line in a text field, i.e., either in the wordwrap area OR the note margins.

SHIFT + FIELD marks a complete line of 255 positions. Remember that even that part of the line which you do not see, i.e., to the right of your screen picture, is marked with this key.

You may mark more than one field by pressing the FIELD or SHIFT + FIELD once for each field to be marked.

+-----+
|MARK |
+-----+

Use this key to mark text that is less than a word, more than a word but less than a sentence, more than a sentence but less than a paragraph or more than one paragraph. This kind of marking is shown on the STATUS line with ≡.

Place the cursor on the first character you want marked and press the MARK key. Next, place the cursor on the last character you want marked and press MARK again. All characters and spaces between characters will be marked. Blank lines will not be marked.

Changing marking type¶

When you have a marked area, you can change marking type by pressing MARK to change to continuous marking, or SHIFT + MARK to change to block marking.

Changing extent of continuous marking¶

Continuous marked areas have a start point and an end point. To extend/shrink a continuous marked area:

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 53¶

MARKING TEXT¶

Place the cursor where you want a new start or end point.
Press MARK.
The start or end point (whichever is nearest) will move to the cursor position. Special situations: when the cursor is in the middle line or middle position of the marked area, the end point will be moved.

BLOCK MARKING¶

To mark a rectangle or a box place the cursor in the upper left-hand corner of the rectangle or box you want marked and press SHIFT + MARK. Then place the cursor in the lower right-hand corner of the rectangle or box and press SHIFT + MARK again. All characters, spaces, and blank lines in the rectangle will be marked. This type of marking is used for framing and calculation, which will be discussed later.

Use this method when marking parts of tables.

Note: If SHIFT + MARK is used twice in column one, but in different lines, the entire lines (255 character positions) will be marked and not just the one column. When you use SHIFT + MARK this way in any other column than column one, only that column will be marked.

Changing extent of block marking¶

Block marked areas have four corners. To extend/shrink a block marked area:

Place the cursor where you want a new corner.
Press SHIFT + MARK.
The nearest corner will move to the cursor position. Special situations: when the cursor is an equal distance from two corners, the upper left or lower right corner will be moved. When the cursor is in the exact middle of the block, the lower right corner will be moved.

Marking Text¶

Remove Marking¶

+-------+
| CANCEL|
+-------+

When you press this key, NOTIS-WP removes marking from a text, if there is text that is marked. If no text is marked, this key restores the last line deleted with F1 or with the DELETE key.

Restore Marking¶

SHIFT
  +
+-------+
| CANCEL|
+-------+

If you want to restore marking to text from which the marking has been removed, press SHIFT + CANCEL.

Note that the last physical space that was marked will be marked again, not necessarily the same text.

Difference between MARK and SHIFT + MARK¶

Text marked with SHIFT + MARK will displace any previous text to the right when you use COPY or MOVE. The symbol [illegible] appears on the status line whenever you have marked text with SHIFT + MARK.

Text marked with MARK, or in any way except SHIFT + MARK, will displace any previous text downwards. The symbol [illegible] appears on the status line when you have marked continuous text.

Marking Rulers¶

Rulers may be marked along with text to protect format during a COPY or MOVE. To mark rulers:

Place the cursor anywhere within the marked area.
Press (… .
You see the message "Ruler(s) marked" and a ruler mark (•) appears on the status line.
Press (… again to remove marking from rulers.

Delete, Copy and Move Marked Text¶

┌───────┐ ┌────┐ ┌────┐
│DELETE │ │COPY│ │MOVE│
└───────┘ └────┘ └────┘

These keys operate on areas already marked (i.e., shown in inverse video).

The Delete Key¶

┌───────┐
│DELETE │
└───────┘

This key deletes the marked area and closes up the remaining text to fill up the space. The deleted area may be brought back by pressing the CANCEL key.

SHIFT
  +
┌───────┐
│DELETE │
└───────┘

This deletes the marked area, but fills it with spaces. The remaining text is not closed up and the deleted area cannot be brought back with the CANCEL key.

The Copy Key¶

┌────┐
│COPY│
└────┘

Place the cursor where you want the text moved to and press the "COPY" key. NOTIS-WP will make room for the marked text and will duplicate it, placing the first character in the cursor position and moving the text that was there to the right, and/or down.

The Move Key¶

┌────┐
│MOVE│
└────┘

If you want to move text which you have marked and at the same time delete it from its old position, place the cursor in the position where you want the text to be moved to and press the MOVE key. The marked text will be inserted at the cursor position and deleted from its original position.

Moving Text with Marked Ruler(s)¶

This is the easiest way to move text in NOTIS-WP M. The text you move keeps its format. The text at the destination keeps its format. You may mark text belonging to more than one ruler. You cannot use SHIFT + MOVE or SHIFT + COPY with marked rulers.

In this section, ~~ represents unmarked text, and ooo represents marked text.

Mark the text with PARA, PARA. Mark the rulers with (...)	Position the cursor at the destination	Press MOVE	Result:

Temporary Texts¶

Temporary texts are used to store long, complicated phrases, words, or directives that you will use many times during one editing session. When you leave NOTIS-WP M by pressing EXIT, the temporary texts are erased. They cannot be re-used.

Making a Temporary Text¶

Suppose you are typing the minutes of a formal meeting, and you want to store the title and name of a participant:

Walter Middleton, Vice President for Sales

under the letter "M" so that you could recall it with three keystrokes: SHIFT + F8, M, ↵.

Mark the name and title.
Press SHIFT + F8.
You see: WP: Temporary text name:

Recalling a Temporary Text¶

Next time you have to type Middleton's name and title:

Position cursor where name should start.
Press SHIFT + F8.
Type M ↵.

Listing Temporary Texts¶

To see a list of temporary texts:

Press SHIFT + F8.
Type 2 ↵.

You see the list of text names and texts. Press SPACE when you are finished looking.

DECIMAL JUSTIFICATION, ARITHMETIC AND SORTING¶

DECIMAL JUSTIFICATION¶

You can use NOTIS-WP to justify columns of numbers about the decimal point.

 ----------------------------------------------
| 1. SHIFT +   [MARK] top left of area to be   |
|              justified.                      |
|                                              |
| 2. SHIFT +   [MARK] bottom right of area to  |
|              be justified.                   |
|                                              |
| 3. Move cursor to the column where you want  |
|    the decimal point.                        |
|                                              |
| 4. Press     [FUNC] then press . (full stop).|
 ----------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT!¶

When marking, take some extra space on either side of the numbers. NOTIS-WP needs this when it moves the numbers around.
Do not hold FUNC too long, your terminal will not like it!
When using the comma as your decimal divider, you must press the FUNC key followed by the full stop (.). The type of decimal point is set in the EDITING MENU (Menu 3, see page 75).

Decimal Justification, Arithmetic and Sorting¶

Arithmetic Functions¶

NOTIS-WP can add, subtract, multiply and divide. Use the following signs in your text to perform these arithmetic functions:

+ addition (e.g., 36 plus 43 is expressed as 36+43)
- subtraction (e.g., 63 minus 34 is expressed as 63-34)
*** ** multiplication (e.g., 4 times 89 is expressed as 4*89)
/ division (e.g., 45 divided by 9 is expressed as 45/9)
** exponentiation (e.g., 5² is expressed as 5**2)
% percent (e.g., 45 plus 12% is expressed as 45+12%)
() are used as they are in ordinary mathematical operations

How to Perform Arithmetic Operations¶

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 1. Enter the numbers you wish to operate on and the correct sign.       |
| 2. Mark the area including the numbers and the signs as a rectangle     |
|    or with SHIFT + FIELD.                                               |
| 3. Place the cursor where you want the decimal point of the answer.     |
|    Remember to leave enough room for the answer!                        |
|                                                                         |
| 4. Press             .                                                  |
|             +-------+                                                   |
|             |   F4  |                                                   |
|             +-------+                                                   |
|                                                                         |
| 5. The answer will appear on the line where the cursor is positioned,   |
|    with the decimal point at the cursor position.                       |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+

NOTE:
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY SIGNS IN THE MARKED AREA.

ALPHABETIC OR NUMERIC SORTING¶

NOTIS-WP can sort lines alphabetically or numerically.

How to sort lines alphabetically or numerically:

+--------------------+
| 1. SHIFT +         |
|     [MARK]         |
|     top left AND   |
|     bottom right   |
|     of area to be  |
|     sorted.        |
|                    |
| 2.                 |
|  [\]               |
|                    |
| 3. WP: E ; S       |
|    {Functions then |
|    Sort}           |
|                    |
| 4. WP: Sort area:  |
|    [↵]             |
+--------------------+

First mark the area you wish sorted. You should mark it as a rectangle.
Second, press the ↑ key to go HOME.
Third, in HOME position, WP: E ; S {Functions then Sort}, you see:

Wp: Sort area:

Fourth, press [↵] and the line and column numbers of the area which you marked will appear. Press [↵] again and the marked area will be automatically sorted. (Be patient, it can take some time!)

IMPORTANT NOTE!

YOU CAN ONLY SORT SINGLE LINES. Each single line will be rearranged alphabetically and numerically. We suggest that you STORE your work BEFORE you use this function as a protection against mistakes. Once you have sorted the marked area, it cannot be restored to its original form unless you STORED the original work first.

This list:

+----------------+
| Petersen, Don  |
| Johnson, Ray   |
| Fartland, Odd  |
| Raygun, Ron    |
| Brown, George  |
+----------------+

sorted looks like this:

Drawing Boxes Around Text¶

With NOTIS-WP you can draw lines, boxes around text, arrows, bar graphs, and a variety of other graphic symbols, but keep in mind the limitations of the printer you use.

Here is how to put a box around text.

 ---------------------------------------------------
| 1. Place the cursor at least one line above and   |
|    at least one                                   |
|    character position to the left of the upper    |
|    left-hand corner                               |
|    of the text you want to put a box around.      |
|                                                   |
| 2. Press:                    SHIFT + [MARK BOX]   |
|                                                   |
| 3. Place the cursor at least one line below and   |
|    at least one                                   |
|    character position to the right of the lower   |
|    right-hand                                     |
|    corner of the text. Make sure the cursor is    |
|    at least one                                   |
|    character position to the right of the entire  |
|    text.                                          |
|                                                   |
| 4. Press:                    SHIFT + [MARK BOX]   |
|    again.                                         |
|    The text will now be marked as a rectangle or  |
|    box.                                           |
|                                                   |
| 5. Press:                    SHIFT + [F1]         |
|                                                   |
|    You will now have a box around the text that   |
|    was marked, like                               |
|    the one around these instructions.             |
 ---------------------------------------------------

Important Note:

The lines of the box take up character positions. You must make sure that you have included in the marked area at least the line above and the line below plus the columns to the left of the text and to the right of all text you wish boxed in. If you do not allow the extra space for the lines of the box, some of your text will be deleted!

+------------------------------------------------+

Option	Description
Storage document name	When you STORE, text it is the name which appears automatically when you press ↵.
Formatting document name	Document to be sent to the formatter.
Exit command	Program to be started when you exit from NOTIS-WP.
Standard text library	Give the name of a file containing standard texts made with NOTIS-WP M. (See section 'Standard texts' on page 111). If you create new standard texts, they will automatically be stored in this library. If you ask for a previously defined standard text, NOTIS-WP M will look for it in this library. The default file type is :STXT.
UDK library name	Give the name of a library file containing one or more sets of User Definable Key (UDK) definitions made in NOTIS-WP M. See page 113. If you create a new set of definitions using the UDK editor in NOTIS-WP M, it will be stored in this library. The default file type is :UDK.
UDK set name	Give the name of a set of UDK definitions stored in the library named in the previous line. The instructions stored in this set will be carried out whenever you press one of the UDKs.

The Editor Menus¶

Start-up UDK¶

Enter the name of one of the UDKs as shown in the UDK editor ('1, for example).

Storage format¶

Tells how much storage space is used for each character in your text. Type S for ND-Standard Format (uses 8 bits per character). Other possibilities are 7 for ASCII 7-bit format, 16 for 16-bit, or 8 for NOKTEXT format.

CANCEL after DELETE¶

Answer Y if you want to be able to press CANCEL after a DELETE to restore the deleted text. If you answer N, CANCEL will still restore an edited line or the last line deleted with F1, but it will NOT restore a text removed with DELETE.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Answering N to CANCEL after DELETE makes NOTIS-WP M work faster when you delete large blocks of text.

Answer Y to use the new Command menus in NOTIS-WP M. Answer N if you want to use HOME commands. We recommend the Command menus.

Use Document Storage¶

Answer Y if NOTIS-DS is installed on your system and you want documents made with NOTIS-WP M to use the Document Storage System (Drawers, Folders and Documents). Answer N to store each document as a separate SINTRAN file.

Page Layout¶

Before looking at the PRINT Menu, you should have an idea of the basic (printed) page layout. We have given the page layout standard values:

left border  = 18

right border = 12

top border   = 4

bottom border = 2

These standard values in NOTIS-WP suit A4 paper.

This standard (printed) page layout is given in the figure on the next page.

An A4 page is 100 characters wide, assuming you print in horizontal pitch 12 (12 characters per inch) as in this manual.

It has 74 lines, assuming you use single lines pacing and vertical pitch 6 (6 lines per inch).

Your screen only shows 80 characters at once, and you usually want some space between the edges of the text and the edge of your paper. The left border tells how many spaces between the left edge of the paper and whatever you had in column 1 on the screen.

The top border tells how many lines between the top edge of the paper and the top line on your screen (or the first line on a page with a page marker).

You can vary the positions of the left parenthesis (and the right parenthesis) in the Ruler, and the width of the note margins on the screen, to make wider or narrower text.

The left border remains the same.

Headers and page numbers are inserted in the top border, and the trailer in the bottom border. The values of the top and bottom borders are included in the page length.

Working with Two Documents¶

A Typical Problem - Two Documents¶


A typical problem	Suppose your firm has two contracts that it uses regularly, and has now decided to add a third one. The new contract will have some parts taken from each of the old ones. You have two documents, CON-1 and CON-2. You want to make a third document called CON-3 by copying parts of each of them.
The solution	The easiest way to do this is to tell NOTIS-WP that you want to work with all three documents at once.

What Are Regions?¶

Regions

You do this by creating extra regions in NOTIS-WP, one for each extra document. If you like, you can think of each document as being on a separate tablecloth hung up behind the screen. You can only see the tablecloth closest to the screen. Whenever you want to, you can tell NOTIS-WP to switch them around so that a different tablecloth is closest. Each tablecloth is one region. Though you only see one document at a time, all three are ready to use, each in its own region of NOTIS-WP. You can switch from one to another easily. You can even mark text in one region and move it to another.

MAIN region

You may have noticed that you have always worked in the MAIN region of NOTIS-WP up to now. The MAIN region is always there.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 96¶

Working with Two Documents¶

Creating Regions¶

To create an extra region, give the command Regions/Go-to. You see: Move to position:. Type a name for the new region, in * marks, just as if it were a new document name. Press the ↵ key. NOTIS-WP will create the new region and move the new region to the screen. If you had text in the MAIN region, you cannot see it while you are looking at the new region, but don't worry, the text is not lost.

| New names in * marks |

Putting Documents in Regions¶

| Bringing a document into an existing region | To bring a document into a region, place the cursor in the text area. Then you see location information on line 2. Check on line 2 to make sure you are in the proper region: |

WP: _______________________________________________________
Line: 1-21 Column: 1-80  Region: NEW      Position: |     |
[..........................1.....2.....3.....4.....5.....6.|.....7.....|.....]

Give the command Documents/Fetch, type your document name and press the ↵ key.

| Old text in the region | If you already have text in this region, NOTIS-WP will ask what you want done with the existing text. Remember that you can always press the HELP key if you do not know how to answer a question. |

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 97¶

Working with Two Documents¶

Create Region and Fetch Document in One Operation¶

To save time you may want to create a new region and fetch a document to the new region in a single operation.

Begin by giving the command Documents/Fetch. After typing your document name, press the DOWN ARROW key instead of the ↵ key. You see: Insert before:. Type ** and press the ↵ key.

+--------------------------+
| WP: Fetch document: DOC-NAME |
| Insert before: **        |
+--------------------------+
|.........1.........2.........3.........4.........5.........6.........7.........|

REGION-NAME equals DOC-NAME

The new region is automatically created. Since you typed ** rather than a region name with letters, the new region has the same name as the document that you fetched. The new region is moved to the screen, with the document that you fetched displayed in the text area.

Moving from One Region to Another¶


No " in name of existing region	To move any existing region to the screen, press the GO-TO key. You see: Go to line (page): Type the region name (without " marks) and press the ↵ key.
OK to abbreviate	You may abbreviate the region name down to a single letter as long as no other region name starts with that letter.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 98¶

Working with Two Documents¶

Listing Regions¶

To see a list of existing regions and which documents are in them, give the command Regions/List.

Press the HOME key to return to your text when you have finished viewing the list.

Copying or moving text from one region to another is not really different from copying or moving within the same region.

Begin in the region where the original text is located.
Mark the text to be moved or copied.
Use the GO-TO key to see the destination region on the screen.
Press the MOVE or COPY key.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 99¶

Clearing a Region¶

You can clear the text out of any region, leaving the region empty and ready for a new text.

Make sure the region you want to clear shows on the screen. Give the command: Regions/Clear. You see: Delete area:. Type all and press ↵.

If the region contains text that has not been stored, NOTIS-WP will ask what you want done with the text. Remember you can press the HELP key if you don't know how to answer a question.

Deleting a Region¶

You may want to delete a region from the list rather than just leaving it empty. You can clear any text and delete the region in one operation.

Begin by moving to some region other than the one you want to delete. Give the command Regions/Clear. You see: Delete area:. Type the name of the region to be deleted and press the ↵ key.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 100¶

Working with Two Documents¶

Seeing Two Documents at Once¶

A typical problem¶

Suppose you are translating a document. You would like to see the French original on the top half of your screen while you are typing the English translation on the bottom half. Then you will not have to look back and forth between the screen and a piece of paper.

What are windows?¶

You divide the screen into parts called WINDOWS. One region can be shown in each window. Each region can contain a different document. In this way you can see two documents on the screen at the same time.

You may make up to three windows. The screen may be divided either horizontally or vertically, but not both ways.

In this chapter we will make only two windows, and we will divide the screen horizontally.

Making Windows¶

Getting the regions ready¶

Begin in the MAIN region. Fetch the document you want to see on the top half of the screen.

Create a new region called A with the Regions/GO-TO command:

┌───────────────────────┐
│WP: Move to position: A│
└───────────────────────┘

In region A, fetch the document you want to see at the bottom half of the screen.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 101¶

Working with Two Documents¶

Making the Windows¶

Give the command Menus/Screen to enter the screen menu. Fill out the first 4 lines like this:

| Screen menu (2)           |
|---------------------------|
| Region in window 1        | :MAIN   |
| Lines.Columns in window 1  | :10.80  |
| Region in window 2        | :A      |
| Lines.Columns in window 2  | :10.80  |

This says that we want two windows, each 10 lines high and 80 positions wide. The first window will show the contents of the main region, and the second window will show the contents of region A.

(If you want to divide the screen in two vertically, set Lines.Columns to 21.40 and 21.39.)

Remember that the dividing line or lines will take up one column or one line. If you give numbers that do not add up to 21.80 when dividing lines are taken into account, WP will come as close to your numbers as possible.

Moving from Window to Window¶

Press FUNC 1 to place the cursor in window 1.
Press FUNC 2 to place the cursor in window 2.
All scrolling keys, editing keys, etc. will only affect the window where you have the cursor.

Screen appearance

The top three screen lines are not part of window 1. They show location information and ruler for the window where the cursor is located.

HOME does not change windows

If you press HOME to move to the command menu, you have not changed windows. The command will only affect the window the cursor is in.

Easier scrolling

You can use a set of UDKs (User Definable Keys) that make it easier to scroll both windows up or down at the same time - see page 181.

Print Directives¶

What is a Print Directive?¶

Print directives are instructions to NOTIS-WP which you may use in your text to specify certain formats, titles or headings you want in your document when it is printed. When you press the PRINT key, NOTIS-WP will execute all these directives.

Use the MENUS to set standard values for the whole document. If you want to change these for part of a document, use directives in the text to override the MENU values. There are also directives for some functions not found in the MENUS.

Some directives must be given at the beginning of your document, others exactly where you want them to take effect. If you must give a directive at the beginning of your document, it will be indicated in the explanation of the directive.

In the various standard print directives explained in this chapter we have used the following parameters:

lines = number of lines wanted
num. pos. = number of character positions wanted
n = a number or, occasionally, number of inches
text = chapter or section title or page header
0/1 = 0 means off / 1 means on
a = the character of your choice

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 106¶

Print Directives¶

Here is a look at a directive with each of its parts labelled:

+---------------------------+
| ^se=section-title-text;   |
|  |                        |
|  |         semicolon      |
|  |         parameter      |
|  separator                |
| code name                 |
| hat                       |
+---------------------------+

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All directives should start with ^ (hat), and must end with ; (semicolon). These can be changed in NOTIS-TF menu (5) with the Directive Start and Directive End values. You may use = / % $ , as separators for the parameters. Not all directives have parameters.

Print Directives¶

New Chapters and Sections: Creation and Numbering¶

To produce the following:

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Users

1.2 Commands

1.2.1 Public

1.2.2 RT

1.2.3 System

1.3 Documentation
MAINTENANCE

You need to input the following directives, which we will explain below:

*CH=INTRODUCTION;
*SD=Users;
*SE=Commands;
*SD=Public;
*SE=RT;
*SE=System;
*SU=Documentation;
*CH=MAINTENANCE;

Numbering, underlining of titles and blank lines between sections are automatic. Just type the directive on a line by itself, then continue with your normal text on the lines below. DO NOT FORGET THE SEMICOLON!!!

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 108¶

PRINT DIRECTIVES¶

New chapters¶

Starts a new chapter (i.e., a new section on the highest level), numbers it and gives it a title which is the text that you have given in the <text> parameter.

Example:

*CH=INTRODUCTION;

New sections, one level down¶

^SD=text;

Starts a new section on the level below the previous one.

It should always be the first section directive to be used after a new chapter directive. If the chapter number is 1, the directive will lead to the first section being numbered 1.1 The <text> parameter will become the section name.

New sections on the same level¶

^SE=text;

Starts a new section on the same level as the previous section, numbers it, and writes out <text> as section name.

If the current section is numbered 3.3, the new one will be 3.4.

New sections, one level up¶

^SU=text;

Starts a new section on a higher level. If the last section number is 1.1.2, the directive at this point will result in 1.2 becoming the next section number. The <text> parameter will become the section name.

Chapter and section number setting¶

^CN=n;

With this directive you may decide on the initial chapter or section number.

This sets the initial numbers of chapters and sections. Give this directive, before giving the first chapter or section directive, with the number you wish the chapters or sections to begin with.

The directive has a default value 1, which

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 109¶

PRINT DIRECTIVES¶

means that if you do not give the directive, your chapter numbers will begin with 1.

PAGE HEADERS, NUMBERS AND TRAILERS¶

First Header¶

*H1=text;

Sets the first header, which is printed on the first line of the top border of each page. See PRINT DIRECTIVES at the top of this page. It may be in a font other than the rest of the text if the *FONT=n directive is used before this directive. Remember to reset the FONT afterwards. (The FONT directive is described below.)

Second Header¶

*H2=text;

Sets the second header, which is printed on the second line of the top border of each page. The second header will be printed on the line below the first header/page number.

Page Trailer Line¶

*TL=text;

Sets the page trailer, which will be centered on the bottom line of each page (example at the bottom of this page: ND-63.002.02). It may be in a font other than the rest of the text if the *FONT=n directive is used before this directive. Remember to reset the FONT afterwards.

Page Number Setting¶

*PN=n;

Sets the number of the first page in your document. This directive has default value = 1, which means that if the directive is not used, NOTIS-WP will automatically see to it that your document is numbered from page 1 onwards, in the normal manner.

The page number will be written on the first line of the top border, opposite the first page header.

This directive also enables you to decide the page numbering yourself.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 110¶

Print Directives¶

Example¶

You have a printed document that is 55 pages long. You want to add another document on to the end so that when you print this second document, it will begin with page number 56.

1. RETRIEVE the second document alone into the work area.

2. Use the F2 key to get a blank line at the top of the TEXT AREA.

3. Type the directive *PN=56; on this line.

4. STORE the document with: WP: D, S

5. PRINT the document with [PRINT]

Your printout will be numbered from page 56 onwards.

Page Formats (Borders)¶

NOTE: We recommend using MENU 4 for setting the left and other 
(ie., right) borders.

Top Border¶

Directive	Description
*TB=lines;	Sets the number of lines in the top border (included in total page length).
	Header lines and page numbers are written in the top border.

Bottom Border¶

Directive	Description
*BB=lines;	Sets the number of lines in the bottom border (included in total page length).
	The trailer line is written in the last line of the bottom border.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 111¶

PRINT DIRECTIVES¶

New page¶

*PG; starts a new page, exactly where you put the directive.

The new page directive has no parameter. It is useful if you want to make sure that a certain part of your document starts at the top of a new page, or if automatic pagination does not suit your needs.

If you do not use this directive, NOTIS-WP will automatically split your document into the page length set in MENU 4.

Conditional page¶

*CP=n; starts a new page if there are less than n (number of lines) left on the page, otherwise it continues as usual.

Example:¶

+------+-------+-------+
| 1981 | 1980  | 1979  |
+------+-------+-------+
| 245.0| 180.1 | 124.2 |
| 101.0|  70.2 |  48.4 |
|  90.3|  63.8 |  50.6 |
|  59.2| 100.5 |   4.8 |
+------+-------+-------+

Continue typing text.

If there are less than 8 lines (including 2 lines for the bottom border), NOTIS-WP will start printing the table on a new page. If there are 8 or more lines, it will continue and print the table on the bottom of that same page.

Page 112¶

Print Directives¶

Character Pitch and Blank Lines¶

Vertical Pitch¶

^VP=n;

Defines the number of lines per inch. The directive automatically adjusts page length, top and bottom borders. We recommend using MENU 4 to set the Vertical pitch value for a whole document. Use this directive if you want to change it for parts of a document. Remember, the page length must be changed accordingly.

A value of:¶

^VP=12; gives two screen lines for each print line.
^VP=6; gives normal single line spacing.
^VP=4; gives one and a half line spacing.
^VP=3; gives double line spacing.

Using ^VP=12; produces print output like the following:

The formula for ethanol is C₂H₅OH.

or

  H   H
   \ /
 H—C—C—OH
   / \
  H   H

When you use ^VP=6; the output will look like the following:

The formula for ethanol is still C H OH
                                2 5

or

  H   H

PRINT DIRECTIVES¶

PRINTER FONTS, PAPER BINS AND CONTENTS GENERATION¶

Printer fonts¶

*FONT=n;

Sets the number of one of the fonts available on the Philips GP300L printer. Default font for text documents when a GP300L is used is font no. 2 (*FONT=2;). Here are some of the available fonts.

This is font number 1.

This is font number 2.

This is font number 4.

THIS IS FONT NUMBER 5.
(only uppercase)

The different fonts can be used to obtain headings and titles in fonts other than that of the text itself. Hence, a *FONT=n; directive may be used before the *H1=text;, *H2=text;, *TL=text; directives, and will cause these headers and trailers to be printed out in the desired special font.

The font directive may also be used in conjunction with the *C0; directive which generates the table of contents. The font number indicated with a *FONT=n; directive given before the *C0; directive will cause the headings and trailers to be printed out in that specific font throughout the document.

The standard no. 2 font will have to be reset again immediately after the *C0; directive, with a *FONT=2; directive.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 114¶

Set Input Paper Bin¶

*BIN-IN=n;

Selects one of the input paper bins on your printer. The default (standard) value is 1.

The function may be used to have the first page of a letter printed out on a special letterhead. Remember to reset the *BIN-IN=n; afterwards to get the rest of the letter on the usual paper.

Table of Contents¶

*C0;

Generates a table of contents for the document. This table of contents comes at the end of the document, but the directive should be given at the very beginning of your text.

All chapter and section titles generated with one of the chapter and section directives explained previously, will be included in the table of contents. They may be in a font other than the rest of the text, if the *FONT=n; directive is used.

*IC;

Used with the *C0;, it places the table of contents where you put this directive.

Duplex Copying¶

Command	Description
`^DX=0;`	turns duplex printing OFF.
`^DX=1;`	turns duplex printing ON.

When you are printing on two sides of a sheet of paper, you may want to use duplex printing. This reverses the borders so that when duplex copying is requested, the value of 'other border' is used as 'left border' on even-numbered pages. Page headers and numbers, if any, are also reversed.

If you want duplex printing for an entire document, set the duplex printing value to 1 in MENU 4.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 115¶

Print Directives¶

An example of duplex printing is this manual. Notice particularly the headers and the borders, which are reversed on even-numbered pages.

Here are some useful directives.

On Screen	On Printout	Comments
`^B=short form;`	short form	Exactly the same as `^BOLD`. Used to save space. Especially useful in note margins.
`^N=5=;`	æ	Short form of `^NAT`. Used to change national character sets for a short time only. First parameter is number for national character set, same as nation number in Print menu. Second parameter is text to be printed in this character set.
`^F=5=green;`	GREEN	Short form of `^FONT` directive. First parameter is font number. Second parameter is text to be printed in this font.

Directive to printer: ^BIN-OUT

On Screen	Comments
`^BIN-OUT=4;`	Used to specify compartment where printout should be delivered. Only has an effect when printer actually has multiple output compartments.

STANDARD TEXTS AND USER DEFINABLE KEYS (UDKs)¶

STANDARD TEXTS¶

Letterheads, memo layouts, distribution lists or any other frequently used piece of text can be stored as a STANDARD TEXT. Standard texts are easy to recall with a few key strokes. Standard texts are similar to temporary texts (described on page 53), but they are stored in STANDARD TEXT LIBRARIES. You can have many standard texts in one library.

For a short tutorial on standard texts, see Chapter 15, starting on page 159.

Typical Uses¶

Standard texts are useful for storing letterheads, memo layouts, standard sets of directives, distribution lists, forms, signature blocks, or frequently used paragraphs of text.

Standard Text Libraries¶

NOTIS-WP M must know which standard text library to use when you store or fetch standard texts. The first time you give a library name in an editing session, it is inserted in the WP-Environment menu (menu 1). Thereafter, you do not have to give the standard text library name. The name in the menu will be used for the rest of the editing session, unless you change the menu entry.

Creating a Standard Text Library¶

Go to the WP-Environment menu (menu 1).
If a library name is listed beside 'Standard text library:', delete it.
Type a new library name in ' marks.
Return to WP.

Making a Standard Text¶

First type the text directly in NOTIS-WP M. You may use special character sets and print directives. To store the text as a standard text:

Mark the text. The text will be returned as continuous text if you mark it as continuous text, with rulers if you mark rulers with it, etc.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 120¶

Standard Texts and User Definable Keys (UDKs)¶

Using Your Standard Text¶

Press F8. You see: WP:Standard text name:
Enter the standard text name in " " marks and press ⏎.
Enter a description of the text and press ⏎.

Position the cursor where the text is to begin.
Press F8.
Type the text name and press ⏎.

Listing Standard Texts¶

Press F8.
WP:Standard text name:2 ⏎
Press SPACE to refresh the screen when you have finished with the list.

Deleting a Standard Text¶

Press F8.
Enter the text name.
Press DOWN ARROW.
Delete:Y

File Type and Location¶

Standard text libraries have the default file type :STXT. The WP-Environment menu only displays the file type if it is different from the default.

Changing Libraries¶

You can switch to a new standard text library during an editing session by changing the library name in the WP-Environment menu.

Naming Standard Texts¶

Standard texts are usually given single-letter names so that it is quicker to recall them. You may abbreviate the names when you recall or list standard texts.

Describing Standard Texts¶

If you have entered a description once, and then store a revised standard text under the same name, just leave the description space blank to save the old description.

STANDARD TEXTS AND USER DEFINABLE KEYS (UDKs)¶

USER DEFINABLE KEYS (UDKS)¶

This section describes the User Definable Key (UDK) function. It includes a very simple example of a UDK. For a tutorial and practical examples, see Chapter 15, starting on page 159.

With a UDK, you can record any operation or series of keystrokes that you need to use frequently. Then you can perform the whole series of keystrokes by pressing one UDK. The 14 keys on the numeric keypad are the UDKs.

Typical uses for UDKS¶

SUPERSHIFT or special character set characters, calculations used for bids or billing, scrolling both parts of a split screen together, alternating between two standard rulers, converting an address list to mailing labels - these are just a few of the possibilities.

Page 122¶

Standard Texts and User Definable Keys (UDKs)¶

UDK Library and Sets¶

The definitions are stored in named sets, so you can have one set for each job. Sets must be stored in a UDK library. You can store as many sets as you like in one UDK library.

The UDK library and set where NOTIS-WP will look for definitions when you press one of the UDKs are listed in the WP-Environment menu (menu 1).

Choose UDK/Edit from the Command menu.
You see the prompt: WP: Edit UDK:
Press the key marked 1 on the numeric keypad.
You see: WP: Edit UDK:`1
Press ↵
Type Test of UDK.

   WP: Editing UDK:`1

Press HOME when you have finished defining the UDK.

Testing your UDK¶

When you have returned to NOTIS-WP M, place the cursor where you want the text to appear and press 1 on the numeric keypad. The text that you typed is reproduced.

Creating a UDK library¶

Go to the WP-Environment menu (menu 1).
If a library name is listed beside "UDK library name:", delete it.
Type MY-KEYS:UDK ↵
Return to WP:

Storing your UDK¶

Give the command UDK/Store.

WP: Store UDK set:test↵
Set description:set for practice, only key 1 defined. ↵

You have now created a new UDK set and a new UDK library, and stored the set. As with documents, new names are always written in * marks. Note that the description is NOT typed in * marks, and that you can only have one

Your set, TEST, contains only one definition so far - for the key ˆ1. You can define the rest of the keys in the set whenever you like.

Go to the WP-Environment menu (menu 1). There you should see that the set and library names have been entered:

Setting	Name
UDK library	:MY-KEYS
UDK set	:TEST

These are now the current UDK library and UDK set. NOTIS-WP M will use this library and set whenever you press a UDK. To switch to a different set or library, change the menu entry.

When you give a UDK command such as UDK/Store and you are asked for the UDK set name, you may press ͠J, and the current set name will be filled in for you.

UDK/Fetch¶

Brings a set of UDK definitions into the work area and connects them to the keys of the numeric keypad. NOTIS-WP M goes into UDK-mode. When you press a key on the numeric keypad, the UDK definition is executed.

UDK/Edit¶

Enters the UDK editor to create or alter the definition of one UDK at a time. If you have a document in NOTIS-WP M, you will not see your text while you are editing the UDK. Press HOME to return to your text in NOTIS-WP.

Give the command UDK/Edit.
WP: Edit UDK: ^1

(Note: You must press 1 on the numeric keyboard or type ^ and then 1. It will be shown as ^1 on your screen to distinguish it from the regular 1 character.)

+------------------+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+

Page 126¶

Standard Texts and User Definable Keys (UDKs)¶

Each key you press is recorded as part of the definition. Some keys have to be typed in a special way. They are all keys that you may need to use while you are editing your UDK definition.

To enter any of these keys as part of your definition, press CTRL + O, followed by the particular key.

CTRL + O, LEFT ARROW = →
CTRL + O, [illegible] = ↵

Keys that must be typed after CTRL + O in a UDK definition¶

LEFT ARROW	HOME	CANCEL	CTRL + A
RIGHT ARROW ↵	HELP	DEL	FUNC ↕
UP ARROW	EXP	FUNC ➔	SHIFT + FUNC
DOWN ARROW

Note that when you are working with UDKs, NOTIS-WP M uses '^1 for UDK 1, '^2 for UDK 2, etc. to distinguish them from the numbers located above the letter keys.

The UDK editor represents keys like this:

If the key has a name, the name is abbreviated: PRINT = PRNT.
If the key has a picture, the picture is duplicated if possible: RIGHT ARROW = →
SHIFT is shown by ↑. SHIFT + MOVE = ↑MOV

UOK/Store¶

Stores a set of UDK definitions in a UDK library. Use this function when you have created or changed UDK definitions so that you will be able to use them again. As with document names, the names of new UDK sets must always be given in ' ' marks. In addition to set name, you may give a set description that will be shown with the UDK/List command. If you leave the description space blank, the old description (if any) will be kept.

UOK/Delete¶

Deletes a set of UDK definitions from the computer's disk. Once deleted, they cannot be used again.

UOK/List¶

Lists the names and descriptions of all UDK sets in the current UDK library. If no UDK library is entered in the WP-Environment menu you will be prompted for the file name. To clear the list from the screen, press the SPACE BAR.

UOK/UOK-mode¶

Give this command to make the numeric keypad function according to the current set of UDK definitions. When you are in UDK mode, "UDK" appears on the status line.

UOK/Numeric-mode¶

Give this command to make the keys of the numeric keypad STOP using UDK definitions and work as numbers. When you give this command "UDK" disappears from the status line.

UOKs that call UDKs¶

To make a ^1 call itself, for example: While editing definition of ^1, press 1 on the numeric keyboard.

NOTIS-DS¶

NOTIS-DS stands for Document Storage, a new NOTIS product for storing, finding and fetching documents. NOTIS-DS is explained in its own handbook, NOTIS-DS Introduction, ND 63.038. EN.

Must be installed¶

If NOTIS-DS is installed on your system, you may choose whether to store each document as a separate SINTRAN file, or as a document within the Drawer/Folder/Document system of NOTIS-DS. NOTIS-DS has fewer limitations as to the number of documents per user, and provides a better document catalogue than SINTRAN. We recommend that you choose either NOTIS-DS or SINTRAN, and do not alternate between storage methods.

To use NOTIS-DS, set 'Use Document Storage' to Y in the WP-Environment menu (menu 1). Then you will always be prompted for document names in NOTIS-DS format when you fetch or store documents. All commands concerning document filing - Documents/Fetch, Documents/List, etc., will then use NOTIS-DS.

To enter the NOTIS-DS program to store, fetch or list documents, use the command NOTIS/DS.

When you are finished working with NOTIS-DS, press EXIT to return to NOTIS-WP M.

Must be installed¶

You can only use NOTIS-ID if it is installed on your system.

You will see a signal on your NOTIS-WP M status line when you have received mail.

To enter the NOTIS-ID program to read or send mail, use the command NOTIS/ID.

Tutorial: Working with the Rulers¶

Introduction to Multiple Rulers¶

Read This:¶

Ruler
Look at the sample document. The line full of periods and tabulator stops is called a RULER. The ruler contains margin information and tabulator stops. Part of the ruler is underlined - more about that later.

Ruler Marks
The marks at the right side of the screen are called RULER MARKS. A ruler mark means "a new ruler is stored here".

Current Ruler
The ruler on line three changes when you move the cursor to a line with a ruler mark. The top of the screen shows the ruler for wherever the cursor is located. This is called the CURRENT RULER.

Ruler Over Text
Each line of text gets its format from the ruler ON or OVER that line.

Editing with Rulers
You can add new text or edit text anywhere in the document without setting margins and tabulators.

Do This:¶

Exercise: Viewing the Current Ruler¶

Place the cursor anywhere in the first paragraph. The ruler that gives the format for this paragraph shows on line 3.

THE THREE INDEPENDENT TEXT FIELDS¶

READ THIS:¶


Wordwrap area	The underlined part of the ruler defines the WORDWRAP AREA. You type in paragraphs, and you have automatic line shift when you come to the end of the underlined part. The cursor moves down one line to the beginning of the Wordwrap underline.
Note margins	If the wordwrap area does not reach all the way to the right or left margin, part of the ruler has no underline. This is called the LEFT or RIGHT NOTE MARGIN. In the note margin there is no wordwrap function. The note margin is intended for paragraph numbering or leading texts.
Independent text fields	There are three text fields: the left note margin, the wordwrap area, and the right note margin. As a general rule, editing in one text field will not have any effect on text in another text field. Adding or deleting text or using F5 in the note margin will not affect text in the wordwrap area, and vice versa. The F1 and F2 keys, which add and delete whole lines, still work on whole lines.

DO THIS:¶

EXERCISE: FINDING THE NOTE MARGINS¶

## RULERS, WHOLE BLANK LINES, AND PARAGRAPH MARKS

### READ THIS:
You have seen that your text can be divided into three "columns" - the left and right note margins and wordwrap area.

The text can also have horizontal divisions. Both rulers and whole blank lines act as "walls" across the text. As a general rule, editing performed ABOVE a whole blank line or a ruler will not affect text BELOW the blank line or ruler.

### Horizontal dividers
The text can also have horizontal divisions. Both rulers and whole blank lines act as "walls" across the text. As a general rule, editing performed ABOVE a whole blank line or a ruler will not affect text BELOW the blank line or ruler.

### Numbered paragraphs
Use whole blank lines to separate paragraphs with numbers or leading texts, or protect them with rulers. The numbers or leading texts will stay beside the beginning of the paragraph no matter how you edit.

### Paragraph definition
When you press JUST, NOTIS-WP M justifies one paragraph. There are three ways for you to show what text belongs to the same paragraph:

- Leave one line blank within the wordwrap area.
- Indent a line from the beginning of the wordwrap area.
- Make a paragraph mark.

### Paragraph marks
Paragraph marks look like this §. Make them by pressing NEW PARAGRAPH. Remove them by placing the cursor to the right of the mark and pressing NEW PARAGRAPH again.

### NEW PARAGRAPH key
The NEW PARAGRAPH key will insert a given number of blank lines and indentation spaces as well as a paragraph mark. Tell how many blank lines and spaces you want in the Editing menu. See page 75.

### Rejustification on new ruler

When you change a ruler, all of the text that belongs to that ruler is automatically rejustified. This automatic rejustification can be turned off by typing N in answer to 'Justify on new ruler (Y/N):' in the editing menu. Then you need to justify each paragraph manually after you edit a ruler.

### Left must fit

When you edit a ruler or edit in the left note margin, the changes will only be accepted if the results will fit into the note margin.

The document normal ruler is the ruler that you use over and over again, the one that you want to return to after each special format for a table, inverted paragraph, etc. Enter the ruler you want to define as document normal ruler. Press SHIFT + FIELD to mark the ruler. Press COPY.

### Recalling the document normal ruler

Any time you want to go back to your regular format, you recall the document normal ruler. Place the cursor where you want a new copy of the document normal ruler. Press SHIFT + (...)

### Deleting a ruler

To delete a ruler, enter the ruler and press F1. After you delete a ruler, text is reformatted according to whatever ruler is now the nearest one OVER the text.

### Duplicating a ruler

Normally NOTIS-WP M will not allow two identical rulers after each other in the text. Since the second ruler does not represent a _change_ in format, no ruler mark is made. If you want two identical rulers, press (... to create a ruler and F2 to duplicate it.

If you have typed a text without setting an appropriate ruler, you can add the correct ruler afterwards.

Clear your screen. The default ruler is shown on line 3. It may vary from one system to another.

Suppose you now realize that you should have set the ruler with a left note margin.
At this point NOTIS-WP M considers the dates to be part of the wordwrap text. If you edit the ruler to make a left note margin, the dates will be justified with the rest of the text when you go out of the edited ruler.

Enter the current ruler and set wordwrap to begin directly over the 'S' in "Staff".

Tutorial: Standard Texts and User Definable Keys (UDKs)¶

Introduction¶

The User Definable Key (UDK) section of the reference chapter, starting on page 113, contains all the information you need in order to make and use standard texts and UDKs. This chapter helps you get started and gives some ideas about HOW the new features can be used.

The standard text example goes into detail, and is actually a step-by-step tutorial for standard texts.

The first UDK example is also a step-by-step tutorial. Successive examples are given in summary form.

All examples shown in this chapter were included on diskettes containing NOTIS-WP M, and should be located on your system on user NOTIS. (If your system does not have a user named NOTIS, check with your system supervisor for the user name).

These examples were created by a NOTIS-WP M user who is NOT a programmer - there may very well be faster, better ways to do things than what you see here. If you invent a better way, or find an interesting new UDK application, we would be happy to hear about it!

All UDK sets in the examples are "self-documenting". If you fetch one of the UDK sets and press the UDK *SPC, it will give you a list of what each UDK in the set does.

Standard Texts for Letterheads and Memos¶

In this example you will first recall existing standard texts for a letterhead and a notice of meeting. (These sample texts should be stored on user NOTIS on your system). Then you will create and store a memo heading yourself.

Entering the Sample Standard Text Library¶

Standard texts are stored in standard text libraries (see page 111). NOTIS-WP M must be told which library to use.

Go to the WP-Environment menu (menu 1).
"Standard text library :" should be blank. If there is already a name there, delete it.
Type this library name: (NOTIS)NEW-FEAT-WP-EN-M:STXT
Press HOME to return to WP.

Listing Sample Standard Texts¶

To see a list of all the sample standard texts:

Press F8.
WP:Standard text name: 2 [Enter]
Press SPACE to refresh the screen when you are done viewing the list.

Recalling the Sample Letterhead¶

To recall the standard text named L:

Position the cursor on line 1, column 1.

UDK Set for Letterheads and Memos¶

In this section you will first try out a sample UDK that positions the cursor correctly in the sample letterhead and notice of meeting shown in the previous section.

Then you will create and store your own UDK to do this job.

Remember that UDKs are written in a special way: UDK 1 is written ^1. If the directions say "Press ^1", then you should press the 1 key on the numeric keypad.

NOTIS-WP M must always know which UDK library and set you are referring to.

Fetching the Sample UOK¶

Go to the WP-Environment menu (menu 1).
The space beside "UDK library :" should be blank. If there is already a name there, delete it.
Type this UDK library name: (NOTIS)NEW-FEAT-WP-EN-M:UDK. Since :UDK is the default file type, you may omit the file type if you wish.
Check Standard text library. For this example it should be (NOTIS)NEW-FEAT-WP-EN-M.
Press HOME to return to WP:
Give the command UDK/Fetch.
UDK set: CURSOR ↵
Look at the status line. You should see the symbol UDK.

The symbol on the status line indicates that a UDK set has been fetched, and the keys of the numeric keypad will now work according to the definitions in that set.

Listing UDK Sets¶

To see what other sets of definitions are stored in the sample UDK library, give the command UDK/List. Press SPACE to refresh your screen when you have finished viewing the list.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 175¶

Tutorial: Standard Texts and User Definable Keys (UDKs)¶

Listing set contents¶

Each set may have up to 60 key definitions. It is difficult to remember what each key in a set does. All the sample UDK sets have one key (^SPC) that is defined to produce a list of what the other keys do. To list the contents of the CURSOR set:

Press ^SPC.
The list is automatically written at the end of your document, so that it will not destroy any text.
The list is marked so that you can press DELETE as soon as you have finished viewing it.

We strongly advise you to follow this example and make a 'list' key definition for each of your own UDK sets.

Testing the sample UDK¶

Clear your screen if necessary.
Recall standard text M, the Notice of Meeting.
Press ^ENT (The ENTER key).
The cursor moves to the first ↈ sign and the ↈ sign is deleted. Type the meeting date. 19 August 1985
Press ^ENT.
The cursor moves to the next ↈ sign and the sign is deleted. Press F8.
Standard text name: ⌄ ↵
You have recalled the standard text for the Communications group.
Press ^ENT.
The cursor moves to the next ↈ sign and the sign is deleted. You are ready to complete the rest of the Notice of Meeting.

Viewing the ENTER Key Definition¶

You have just seen how the UDK `ENT works. To see how the definition looks:

Give the command UDK/Edit.
WP: Edit UDK :`ENT ↵
You enter the UDK editor and see this key definition on your screen. The key names are written in full in parentheses, and the purpose of each line of definition is shown at the right.
Press HOME to leave the definition without changing it.

Creating Your Own UDK Library and UDK Set¶

First you need to create your own UDK library.

Enter WP-Environment menu and delete the sample UDK library name, (NOTIS)NEW-FEAT-WP-EN-M.
Type your own UDK library name: MINE, in ' marks because it is a new library. You do not need to type the file type :UDK, because it is the default file type.
Erase the set name CURSOR from UDK set:. This set does not exist in your newly created UDK Library.
Check that the sample Standard text library is entered here: Standard text library: (NOTIS)NEW-FEAT-WP-EN-M.
Press HOME to return to WP:

Tutorial: Standard Texts and User Definable Keys (UDKs)¶

Planning your UDK¶

The simplest way to make a UDK is to go to NOTIS-WP M and carry out the operation yourself once, noting down your keystrokes. Then enter the UDK editor and repeat the keystrokes.

Recall the sample standard text M.
Turn expand off if it is on. The UDK will work differently depending on whether expand is on or off.
How would you move to the first ∅ mark if you did not know where it was? With SHIFT + F7, ∅, ←.
How could you get rid of the ∅ and still have the cursor in the correct position? SPACE, LEFT ARROW will always work, since expand is off.

Making your UDK¶

After the analysis, we have this list: Turn expand off if it is on, SHIFT + F7, ∅, ←, SPACE, LEFT ARROW.

Give the command UDK/Edit.
Press ^1.
Press DOWN ARROW. (We will delete anything that happens to be left on the UDK after previous experiments.)
Delete (Y/N):Y

| WP: Editing UDK: '1        |
|  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  |  5  |  6  |  7  |  8  |  9  | 10  | 11  | 12  | 13  | 14  | 15  |

There is no key on the keyboard that will "turn expand off IF it is on". We will use the FUNC 5 command for expand mode: FUNC 5, EXP, -. (see page 175).
Press FUNC 5.
Press CTRL + O first, and then EXP. This is the way you type a key when you want it entered in the definition rather than carried out. There are a few keys that have to be typed this way. (see page 118).

UDK Set for Special Characters¶

This example and further examples in this chapter are presented in summary form to illustrate certain principles of UDK definition or to provide inspiration for practical applications. Refer to the previous section for step-by-step instructions, or to Chapter 12, which begins on page 113, for complete details about UDKs.

Purpose of Set¶

Suppose you type text with a lot of numbered footnotes. You define a set of UDKs that produces each number with a single keystroke. Then you no longer have to switch back and forth between character sets. You may also include one or two SUPERSHIFT characters that you use frequently.

Sample Set¶

Set these values in the WP-Environment menu:

+-------------------------+
| WP-Environment Menu (1) |
+-------------------------+
| UDK library name    : (NOTIS)NEW-FEAT-WP-EN-M:UDK |
| UDK set name        : CHAR                         |
+-------------------------+

Go back to WP: and try out each key on the numeric keypad.

They should work like this:

7	8	9	List
4	5	6	à
1	2	3
0	£	$

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 183¶

Tutorial: Standard Texts and User Definable Keys (UDKs)¶

Things to Note¶

Look at the definition on ^0, for example.

Definition	Purpose
F-5 C 3 +	Turns mathematical character set on.
`^0`	`^` is index 0 in mathematical set
`tF3`	Turns mathematical character set off.

Since the UDK has no way of knowing whether the mathematic character set is on or off when it starts, it is dangerous to use SHIFT + F3. The FUNC 5 command turns the character set on if it was off, and leaves it alone if it is already on. At the end of the definition it is all right to use SHIFT + F3 to turn the mathematic set off, because now you are certain that the character set is on.

UDK Set for Alternating Rulers¶

Probably the most common way to use rulers is to alternate between two different standard rulers:

Document normal ruler here  ------>  -------------------------------
                                      -------------------------------
                                      -------------------------------

2nd ruler with left note margin->  - -------------------------------
                                    -------------------------------
                                    -------------------------------
Document normal ruler here  ------>  -------------------------------
                                      -------------------------------
                                      -------------------------------
                                      -------------------------------

                                    -------------------------------

This set lets you switch between the two rulers with a single keystroke each time you want to change format.

UDK Set for Split-Screen Editing¶

You may split the screen and work with one document in each half, for example when translating. Then it is helpful to be able to scroll one or both screens with a single keystroke, or move the cursor from one half of the screen to the other.

Set these values in the WP-Environment menu: Note that this set requires Command menu mode.

Sample Set¶

+---------------------------------------+
| WP-Environment Menu (1)               |
|                                       |

Tutorial: Standard Texts and User Definable Keys (UDKs)¶

Go back to WP:. Use the ^- key first to divide the screen. Fetch one of your own documents. Press ^2 to move the cursor to the lower window and fetch another of your own documents. Try out the other keys on the numeric keypad.

Things to note¶

Look at the definition for ^4. This is the UDK that scrolls both windows up.

Definition¶

Definition	Keystrokes
WIN2 SCR↑ WIN1 SCR↑	FUNC 2, SCROLL UP, FUNC 1, SCROLL UP

Six keystrokes have been incorporated in one UDK. But in order to be really helpful, the UDK must take into account whether you are working primarily in window 1 or in window 2.

Recall that FUNC 1 moves the cursor into window 1, while FUNC 2 moves it to window 2. The cursor will therefore always be in window 1 when this UDK is finished working.

If you work primarily in window 2, define your UDK accordingly!

How to Begin if You Do Not Have User Environment¶

LOG IN¶

The first thing you must do is to get in touch with the computer, i.e., you must LOG IN.

Here are the steps to follow to LOG IN. Your responses are underlined. The key marked ↵ is the carriage return.

+-----------------------+
|   HOW TO LOG IN.      |
|                       |
|   Power on?           |
|                       |
|   +-----+             |
|   | ESC |             |
|   +-----+             |
|                       |
|   ENTER _your-user-name_ ↵  |
|                       |
|   PASSWORD: _↵_ (or your password then ↵)  |
|                       |
|   PROJECT PASSWORD: _↵_ (or your project password then ↵) |
|                       |
|   OK                  |
|   @                   |
+-----------------------+

To LOG IN:

Check to make sure that the power is on. The on/off switch is the lower switch on the left side of the VDU.
Press the orange key marked ESC, in the upper left corner of the keyboard.

This is like knocking on the computer's door.
The word ENTER will appear on the screen. Type in the "user name" which your system supervisor gave you, followed by ↵. S/he must give you a user name before you can do anything!

The way the computer asks: "Who is there?" is by displaying the word ENTER. You identify yourself by giving your user name and ↵.
The word PASSWORD will now appear on the screen. If you have a password, type that in followed by ↵. If you have no password, simply press ↵.

The PASSWORD is used for security reasons. You use it so that no one else besides you can enter the computer using your name.
If your machine uses an accounting system, the words PROJECT PASSWORD will appear. Give the project password plus ↵, or just ↵ if you have no project password.

Norsk Data ND-63.042.1 EN

Page 194¶

How to Begin if You Do Not Have User Environment¶

N.B. There may be no accounting system on your machine. If that is so, disregard this step.

OK will appear on your screen. On the next line @ (the "commercial at" sign) will appear, if you have done everything correctly.

If you have made a mistake, press ESC again and repeat the above procedure.

The @ means that you are in contact with SINTRAN. SINTRAN is ND's operating system. Through the operating system, you communicate with the computer by means of commands. These SINTRAN commands perform operations or provide you with information.

The following are useful SINTRAN commands:

@WHO-IS-ON

This tells you who is using the computer and their terminal numbers. It also has an arrow pointing to your name.

@LIST-FILES,...

This gives you a list of all your documents.

If you wish to know more about SINTRAN commands you should refer to the ND manual: SINTRAN-III Timesharing/Batch Guide.

Logout¶

When you have finished your work with the computer, you must break off contact with SINTRAN and the computer.

You do this by giving the SINTRAN command:

+------------+
| @LOGOUT ↓  |
+------------+

You may abbreviate this to LOG.

You should always LOGOUT when you are going away from your terminal for any time. Make it a habit to LOGOUT when leaving the terminal.

Here is a complete example of how a person with the user name of BEN would LOG IN and LOGOUT: (Note that he has no password and his responses are underlined. Your responses are underlined in this whole manual.)

Quick Guide to the Brown and Orange Keys¶

Here is an overview of the brown and orange keys on the NOTIS-WP terminal and what they do. It is meant as a quick reference guide. We hope that you will find it useful.

+-----+
| ESC |
+-----+

(ESCAPE) ESC lets you log in.

+----+      +----+
| P1 |  ....| P8 |
+----+      +----+

+----+      +-----+
| P9 |  ....| P16 |
+----+      +-----+

These keys are programmable. You may decide yourself what functions you want to give them. They are valid for the terminal, not the user. Note that P9 is SHIFT + P1, P10 is SHIFT + P2, etc.

How to program the keys:

Hold the CTRL key down while pressing the HELP key twice.
Move the cursor down to PUSH-keys with the "down arrow".
Press ENTER.
Fill in the columns with the functions you want. You may move from field to field by using ↑ and ↓.
Press ESC 3 times to get back to SINTRAN.

Example: You program P1 to be "NOTIS-WP-E" so when you want to use the editor, you only need to press P1 instead of writing "NOTIS-WP-E".

Updating¶

Manuals can be updated in two ways, new versions and revisions. New versions consist of a completely new manual which replaces the old one, and incorporate all revisions since the previous version. Revisions consist of one or more single pages to be merged into the manual by the user, each revised page being listed on the new printing record sent out with the revision. The old printing record should be replaced by the new one.

New versions and revisions are announced in the ND Customer Support Information and can be ordered from the address below.

The reader’s comments form at the back of this manual can be used both to report errors in the manual and to give an evaluation of the manual. Both detailed and general comments are welcome.

Ring Binder or Plastic Cover¶

The manual can be placed in a ring binder for greater protection and convenience of use. Ring binders may be ordered in two widths, 30 mm and 40 mm.

The manual may also be placed in a plastic cover. This cover is more suitable for manuals of less than 100 pages than for larger manuals.

Please send your order, as well as all types of inquiries and requests for documentation to the local ND office, or (in Norway) to:

Norsk Data A.S
