***************************** FORM Editor Help *******************************

The form editor supports creation and modification of forms.  It allows you to
move the cursor about the form and type  in its contents.  It has features  to
draw lines  and boxes  as well  as  copy groups  of lines  from one  place  to
another.   You can  set attributes  to control  the colors  of characters  and
backgrounds on your form  for use with  a color monitor,  or set normal,  high
intensity, inverse video, and underlining  for use with a monochrome  monitor.
There are 256 different attributes and you must choose one to four  attributes
for input fields -  areas you can type  into when the form  is executed.   The
four attributes for the input fields are entered on the editor pop-up menu.

The first  line  displays  "EDIT:"  followed by  the  form  name,  the  cursor
position, the attribute  of the  character the cursor  is on,  and the  active
attribute which is used  when you type  characters onto your  form.  An  "Ins"
appears on the first line if you are in insert mode meaning characters will be
inserted at  the  cursor as  you  type  instead of  replacing  existing  ones.
Another indicator appears when  the cursor is  on certain special  characters.
This indicator gives the meaning of these special characters.

Attributes:

    Attributes determine how a character appears on your monitor, such as  its
    foreground  and  background  color,   or  highlighting  and   underlining,
    depending on what your monitor supports.   Each character on your  display
    has its own  attribute.  You  have control over  how these attributes  are
    used when text is placed on your form  with function keys F2, F7, F8,  and
    F9 (listed below).

    Attributes have two  purposes.   They make  your form  colorful, and  they
    DEFINE INPUT FIELDS WHICH ARE  PLACES YOU CAN TYPE  INTO WHEN THE FORM  IS
    EXECUTED.  Up  to four different  attributes may be  used to define  input
    fields.   A common  one is  inverse  video (black  characters on  a  white
    background) which has a  value of "70".   This attribute is selected  with
    F8.  Use of attributes is important and is covered in lesson 2.

Functions:

    ESC - Return to Menu:   Exits Form Generation.   After the first push  the
	  form control parameters pop-up menu appears.  You can modify any  of
	  these parameters at this point.  Press "ESC" a second time to return
	  to the main menu or press F3 to resume editing.  Use the pop-up menu
	  to change the number  of rows in  your form while  editing.  Use  it
	  also to  define up  to  4 attributes  that  the form  executor  will
	  interpret as input fields.

    F1  - Help: Displays on-screen  help.   A condensed help  screen is  shown
	  first.  Pressing F1 a second time provides detailed help.

    F2  - Define Special  Characters  & Attributes:    Displays a  menu  which
	  allows you to  (1) select  any character including  the special  IBM
	  graphics characters  to  enter on  your  form; and  (2)  define  any
	  attribute to use on your form.

	  Any character in the IBM character  graphics set may be selected  by
	  using the cursor  keys.  To  place it  on your form  press "ESC"  to
	  resume editing, then press F10.

	  Attributes apply to characters on your form.  They define colors and
	  the ability to  underline, highlight,  and blink  depending on  what
	  your monitor supports.  Each character  on your display has its  own
	  attribute defined for  it.  Attributes  are used by  Form Master  to
	  designate areas on your form where information may be filled in when
	  the form is executed.  It is up to you to define these input fields.
	  You must give them a different  attribute than other places on  your
	  form.  The  suggested attribute  for input fields  is inverse  video
	  (attribute 70).  Select  it by pressing F8  while editing.  You  can
	  then move the cursor to where the field will be and press the  space
	  bar repeatedly  to watch  it appear.   This  F2 menu  allows you  to
	  define any attribute for use.

	  There are three functions associated with this special menu:
	     o  Select a character
	     o  Select the foreground component of the attribute
	     o  Select the background component of the attribute
	  You can change the function by  pressing the Return key.   Selection
	  is made using the cursor control keys.

    F3  - Start/Erase Line or Box:   A "Start/Erase line  or box" pop-up  menu
	  appears.   Enter "1"  for single  line style,  "2" for  double  line
	  style, or "3" for erase.  Press F3  a second time.  Move the  cursor
	  to the end of the line or to the opposite corner of the box and  use
	  F4 to finish.

    F4  - Draw/Erase Line or Box:    Either a "Draw Line", "Draw Box",  "Erase
	  Line", or  "Erase Box"  pop-up  menu appears.   Drawing  or  erasing
	  depends on the choice made  with F3.  A line  is drawn or erased  if
	  the cursor is in  the same row or  column as the blinking  indicator
	  placed by F3.   Otherwise  a box is  drawn or  erased.   Press F4  a
	  second time  to draw  or erase  the line  or box  from the  blinking
	  indicator marked using F3 to the current cursor position.  Lines and
	  boxes are drawn using the active  attribute.  The erase mode  blanks
	  lines and boxes to the background portion of the active attribute.

    F5  - Pick Line(s):  A "Pick Lines" pop-up menu appears.  You can  specify
	  the number of lines to  pick from 1 to  24, beginning with the  line
	  the cursor falls on.  Use F6 to copy picked lines.

    F6  - Put Line(s):  An "Insert n  lines" pop-up menu appears where "n"  is
	  the number of lines picked with F5.  Press F6 a second time to  copy
	  the picked lines into  the position before  the line containing  the
	  cursor.

    F7  - Use Normal Attribute:  The active  attribute is set to normal  video
	  which has  white  characters on  a  black background  (07).  Further
	  typing, lines, and boxes will use normal video.

    F8  - Use Inverse Video Attribute:  The active attribute is set to inverse
	  video, black characters on a white background (70).  Further typing,
	  lines, and boxes will use inverse video.

    F9  - Define any Attribute:  A pop-up  menu appears allowing any value  to
	  be entered as the active attribute.  The last attribute defined with
	  F2 or F9 is listed as a  default.  Further typing, lines, and  boxes
	  will use this attribute.

    F10 - Type Special Character:   The special character  defined with F2  is
	  entered onto  the  form at  the  cursor position  using  the  active
	  attribute.

Special characters  may be  inserted in  your  form using  the "Alt"  key  and
pressing a letter.   These perform special functions  when you execute  and/or
print your form although they are not  seen when executing it.  The  following
are defaults:
    Alt-B   Print Boldface, Enhanced text
    Alt-C   Print Compressed text (17 characters per inch)
    Alt-D   Enter the current date when executing form
    Alt-E   Print Elite text (12 characters per inch)
    Alt-F   Enter the form sequence number when executing form
    Alt-H   Print Higher, Superscript
    Alt-I   Print Italic text
    Alt-L   Print Lower, Subscript
    Alt-O   Overstrike with next line (skip line feed after
	    printing line - therefore 2 lines are printed on top of
	    each other)
    Alt-P   Print Pica text (10 characters per inch)
    Alt-T   Enter the current time when executing form
    Alt-U   Print with Underline
    Alt-X   Print Expanded text
Other Alt-letter  combinations can  be  defined as  needed for  other  printer
functions.

Notes:

If Alt-D, Alt-F, or Alt-T  is used adjacent to  one of the other  Alt-letters,
it should be placed second.  For example, to have the current date  underlined
place the characters in the following order:
    Alt-U Alt-D   .          (See the example Invoice form.)

If  you  place  one  Alt-U  character  on  a  line  to  underline  characters,
underlining continues only  to the last  character on the  line.  To  continue
underlining to the right side of the  form beyond the last character, place  a
second Alt-U at the right end of the line.
