WELCOME TO THE S-C WORD PROCESSOR!

The S-C Word Processor turns your Apple
into a powerful electronic typewriter:
you can type as fast as you like, make
corrections instantly, move words and
paragraphs around, and much more.

See that blinking rectangle in the
top left corner of the screen?  We
call that a cursor.

Find the key marked ESC and press it
once.  Now look at the cursor:  it has
changed to a flashing "+".  Press ESC
again, and you will see that it changes
back to a plain flashing rectangle.

Now press ESC again, getting the
flashing plus.  Press the M key once.
Notice that the cursor moves down to
the next lower line.  Press M over and
over, until the cursor reaches the
bottom of the screen.  To continue
reading this tutorial, keep typing M.
More text will keep appearing at the
bottom of the screen, and the text
you already have read will disappear
off the top of the screen.

You're doing great!  Keep pressing M.

Whenever the cursor is a flashing "+",
the four letters I,J,K, and M will move
the cursor around the screen.  Look at
your keyboard, and you can see that
these four letters form a "diamond"
pattern, like this:
                       I
                      J K
                       M

When the cursor is a flashing "+":
     I moves the cursor up
     M moves it down
     J moves it left
     K moves it right

You can practice a while with these
keys now, if you like.

If you press any other letters, numbers,
or punctuation marks while the cursor is
a flashing "+", the cursor will change
back to a flashing rectangle.  Just
press ESC again, and you will get the
flashing "+" back.

By now you have probably noticed that
the cursor always splits the text,
making room for itself.  This helps you
to know exactly where the next character
will be placed or where the next command
will take effect.

You have also noticed that when you are
moving the cursor down, it tends to stay
on the left side of the screen.  When
you are moving the cursor up, it rides
the ends of the lines.  When you move
the cursor left past the beginning of a
line, it goes to the end of the previous
line; when you move past the end going
right, the cursor goes to the beginning
of the next line.

All the cursor moves you have tried so
far have moved the cursor a short dis-
tance:  either up or down one line, or
left or right one character.  If you
hold the shift key down, and type I, J,
K, or M, you can move the cursor by
leaps.  J and K move the cursor left
or right six characters at a time, while
I and M move it up or down 12 lines at
a time.

Play with the cursor move controls some
more, until you feel fairly comfortable
with them.  Then come back to this point
and continue the tutorial.

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

Four different cursors are used in the
S-C Word Processor.  You are pretty
handy with one of them already.  The
two most used ones are the flashing
rectangle and the flashing "+".  When
the cursor is a flashing rectangle, any
characters you type will be inserted
into the text.

Try it now.  Press ESC until you see
a flashing rectangle cursor, and then
type a few characters.

See them squeezing onto this screen?
(You can delete them if you wish by
using the left arrow key to back up
over them.)

You can change the flashing rectangle
to a flashing "^" cursor by holding
down the CTRL key while you type the
letter C.  (That is called typing a
control-C, or CTRL-C.)  Do this, and
then type a few random letters.  Notice
that they are all CAPITAL?  You are in
the caps-lock mode.  You can get out
of caps-lock mode by typing another
CTRL-C, or by typing ESC a couple of
times.

There is one more cursor:  the flashing
"#".  You get this one by typing
CTRL-C when the cursor is already a
flashing "+".  The flashing "#" serves
two functions.  You can move the cursor
around with the IJKM diamond, but when
you do an amazing thing happens to all
the text you pass over!  Lower case
letters change to capitals, and capitals
change to lower case!  Try playing with this one a while too.  You can turn off
the flashing "#" by typing another
CTRL-C, or by pressing ESC.

Now let's get you to type something.
If this explanation scrolls off the
screen, and you want to retrieve it,
use the + cursor and the I key.

Use the M key to move the + cursor
down the page until it's on the blank
line after the "First Official Blank
Line:" after the next paragraph.

Now get ready to type: make a   cursor
by typing the space bar (or any key
except I or J or K or M).  Next, type
a few lines.  When you're done, press
ESC twice to get the + cursor, and use
the M key to see new information.

First Official Blank Line:



The keyboard is very similar to a
typewriter's.  One main difference is
that you can keep typing at the edge of
the screen: whatever you type will simp
ly be displayed on the next line, as sh
own here.  You may have seen this happe
n when you typed in your Official Blank
Line; the phenomenon is often called "
wrap-around".

When you use the Apple Writer to print
text onto paper, wrap-around does not
occur.  Wrap-around has been avoided in
the tutorial to make it easier to read.
The manual discusses the issue in more
detail.

The Apple Writer has many features that
let you modify what you type.  With the
  cursor, the left-arrow key deletes
the character before the cursor.  The
right-arrow key makes deleted
characters reappear.

Here's a chance to try using the left-
arrow and right-arrow keys:

Second Official Blank Line:



Because the Apple screen cannot display
lower case, all the characters you see
on the screen are upper case.  But when
this document is printed on a printer,
you'll see both upper and lower case
letters.  The screen's white-on-black
letters will all be lower case.  The
black-on-white letters, as at the start
of sentences, will print as upper case.

To make upper case letters, press the 
space bar, the press the ESC key ONCE
to make the cursor look like this: ^.
The next character you type will be 
shown black-on-white and will be 
printed on a printer as upper case. 
Notice that after typing one character,
the cursor looks like this:  .  For 
now, you must press ESC once to make a
^ cursor before each capital letter.

Here's a chance for you to try typing
with upper case letters.

Third Official Blank Line:



Next you'll learn how to leave the
editor, and save this file, including
your sample typing.  Read everything
from the word START to the word END
before you type anything.  A summary of
the instructions appears after the
discussion.


START

You need to know how to use the special
command CTRL-Q, called "control Q".
To use CTRL-Q, hold down the key marked
"CTRL" while you press the Q.

To leave the editor, use:
ESC ESC CTRL-Q
You'll next see the editor menu.  The
menu tells you things that you can do
at that point.

If you turn off your Apple without
saving the file you are working on, you
will loose the file and all the 
changes you made.  The Save option on 
the editor menu allows you to save the
file you've been editing on a diskette.

To save a file, use:
S
and press the RETURN key.  You will
be asked the question
  USE "TUTORIAL"
  AS FILE NAME (Y/N) ?
since the editor remembers that you
last loaded a file called "TUTORIAL".

It's not a good idea to save this file
using the same name, since this file
now contains your sample typing.  So
when asked whether to use "TUTORIAL" as
the file name, type N for no, then
press the RETURN key.  You'll then see
the message
  ENTER FILE NAME:

Choose a name for the file.  Let's
assume you call it XXX.  Type this:
XXX
and press the RETURN key.  The light
on the disk drive will come on, and the
disk drive will whirr as the file is
stored.

Next check to see that things really
worked as reported: turn off the Apple,
turn it on again, then Load your file
XXX and choose the Edit option.

Look though the file.  Your sample
typing should be there, a clear sign
that you've successfully created a file
using the Apple Writer.  Finally, read
the few paragraphs that follow the
summary.


Here's the summary of commands you'll
need to use to save the file and
return to the editor.


WHAT YOU TYPE:   WHAT HAPPENS:


ESC ESC CTRL-Q  editor menu displayed

S               USE "TUTORIAL" AS NAME?

N               told "ENTER FILE NAME:"

XXX             drive light comes on,
                "SELECT:" displayed

Turn OFF the Apple, then turn it ON.

L               told "ENTER FILE NAME:"

XXX             drive light comes on,
                "SELECT:" displayed

E               you're at the start of
                the file XXX; read the
                paragraphs after this.

END: Now try saving the file.


The last editor menu option, Quit,
returns you to BASIC.  If you stop
using the editor and then want to stop
using your Apple, you can turn it off
instead of using Quit.

The time has come to quit, even though
we've barely scratched the surface of
all the things you can do with this
editor.  We haven't discussed the
editor's ability to look for a word or
series of characters and substitute any
other word or series of characters of
your choice in its place.  Many other
things await you in your Apple Writer
manual, so type this:
ESC ESC CTRL-Q 
to get to the editor menu, then choose
the Quit option, and start reading!
