If you have already entered search Enter up to 20 characters and replace phrases, press C-F3, to search for. Press enter. then Enter twice to accept them. Press F3. Or press C-F3 and enter new phrases.  Replacing one by one: Press C-F3 Enter up to 20 characters to replace. Press enter Press Alt-F3  -- Clear away a previous search/replace entry with A-F7 or C-backspace -- Search for "Enter" character by entering S-enter. -- Search for "escape" or printer character by entering S-Esc, then typing the printer code letter next after the + symbol that appears. -- Stop search/replace by pressing Esc. -- Search will find both capitals and lower-case letters. To search for particular capitalizations, press A-F2  DELETING, MOVING AND SAVING "BLOCKS" OF TEXT  F4 Gives you the options of cutting a word, a sentence, or a paragraph at a time. Press W, S or P, depending on which you want.  -- The "Cut" may be made either forward or backward from the cursor. -- The cut text is normally removed from the screen and the text is stored at the top of the paste buffer for later retrieval.  A-F4 Allows changing these defaults. Not clearing the text from the buffer allows assembling blocks of text to save or move in a new order. Not clearing it from the screen allows easy copying of blocks. The settings will remain in force until you change them again.  C-F4 Marks the beginning and end of any section of text to be cut, instead of a word, sentence or paragraph.  F5 Replaces the cut or copied text wherever you want to move it. C-F5 Clears the cut text from the buffer. A-F5 Displays the buffer. A-F10 Saves the cut/paste buffer to disk. Enter a filename at the prompt.  PRINTING BASICS  F6 Prints the document. C-F6 Prints it to the screen. A-F6 Allows selecting a different destination. Alternatives are (S)creen, (C)om1:, (D)isk file, and (L)pt2:  -- S is useful to check formatting (same as C-F6). -- C is used with serial printers and possibly modem transfers. Only Com1 is supported. -- D creates a file as a printer would see it. Use this option to reformat a file for line-oriented word processors and bulletin boards. -- L selects a 2nd printer attached to LPT2:  BASIC FORMATTING COMMANDS IN ZEESCRIPT, WITH (DEFAULT) ìxx Left margin (10) í Margin release (off) òxx Right margin (70) ÷ Page wait for cut sheets (off) ôxx top (0) î Print flush-left (on) âxx bottom line (58) å Print flush right (off) ðxx Page length (66) ã Print centered (off) øxx Page width for centering (80) ê Print justified (off) óx Space lines (1) See `Printing with Epson codes:' ú Force a page break ï Formfeeds toggle (on) ë Linefeeds toggle (off) á Toggle Epson underline (on)  òxx may not exceed øxx: 12-pitch printing must set both ò96 and ø96. ë ends double spacing with printer that adds linefeeds on its own.  Example ì6ò88ø96ô5â56÷ ... Elite printing w/ 1/2 inch side margins on cut sheets. Note: you must also use printer command to select elite. ì0ò75ô0â0ð0ï ... format text with line endings and no page breaks for  transfer to BBS or some other word processors.  -- Commands remain in effect until you change them, clear them using the A-F1 menu, or quit ZeeScript.  HEADERS, FOOTERS AND LINKED FILES  Headers and footers appear on every page after they are defined in text.  Use with formatting commands to print center, left or right. æ defines one-line footer. Prints after 1 blank line at end of page. è defines one-line header. To define at top, but start on Pge. 2, put 1 carriage return above definition. ç Goto next file. Accepts drive/directory names with filename. New files are printed from the top. The text on screen isn't saved.  £ Prints page no. Àxx Set page number if not 1 ¿xx Skip over pages. Processes file until required number is reached before printing anything.  Examples: èãZicari/£ Centered header with page number.  ç\letters\boilrplt adds "boilerplt" to letter. CHARACTER & TEXT CODES õ toggles underlining.  é begins non-printed notes in text. Notes end with Enter.  User-defined printer commands: -- Escape and capital letters may be used for control commands for printers. Press Esc, then a capital letter, then add = (equals) and up to 5 letters or numbers as described below. Numbers must be in the range 0 to 255.  For example: (esc)E=27 sets Å to the ASCII value for Escape, 27.  -- Enter up to 5 codes. Commas must separate numbers. Put letters in quotes:  Å=27,"M" sets E to (Escape)M Å=27,"D",10,15,0 sets E to (escape)D10150 (sets tabs on Epson printer)  -- Some Epson commands are predefined. If your printer doesn't recognize them, define the ones your printer needs. See `Printing with Epson codes.'  -- Printer codes do not affect the layout of text. You will need to adjust margins when using extra-wide or small text. -- Printer codes remain in effect as long as you are using ZeeScript. Clear  them by way of the A-F1 menu.  TIPS ON FINDING THE BOTTOM  Many people find their printer runs out of paper before the computer runs out of text or vice versa.  ô sets the number of the top line and â sets the number of lines to print before going to the next page.  Most printers recognize the form-feed command to skip to the next page. If you cancel formfeeds with ï, you must define the page length with ð to eject pages from the printer properly.  If you use single-sheet paper, you may find your printer will not grip the paper adequately to print near the bottom or that it stops printing before the bottom. The only recourse you have is to set â to a number that WILL print.  Use the ú command to force text onto the next page, if you don't want a paragraph broken.  Headers print with 2 blank lines above the text. The top margin is inserted first. Footers print after 1 blank line under the bottom line set by â.  SAVING YOUR WORK  F10 Checks the filename with you and saves what's on the screen. C-F10 Saves the current file without checking the filename. A-F10 Saves the cut/paste buffer to disk. Provide a filename at the prompt. A-F6 Use Print to Disk to make a file with carriage returns at the end of each line for use of other word processors. Use print commands to set the margins to eliminate extra space if you wish:  ì0ò75ô0â0ð0ï ... is format Print to disk will not write over a file that already exists. CALLING UP A FILE FROM DISK  ƹ Loads a file. íƹ inserts it into text (note there is a 65,535 character limit)  -- ZeeScript will accept a filename from the command line of DOS when the program is run.  The command would look like this:  C:>Speed \path\filename.ext  DIRECTORY FUNCTIONS  Ƹ Provides a DOS disk directory. íƸ Provides a DOS directory with 4-line extracts from files. Á­Æ¸ Changes the current directory.  Æ· Renames a file in the default directory. íƷ Deletes a file in any directory. A prompt lists files to be deleted and asks for confirmation. Á­Æ· Clears the current document from the screen.  PRINTING WITH EPSON LQ-800 CODES  Following are the built-in Epson printer commands. If you use another printer, see "Character and Text codes" for instructions on redefining them.  à - Begin condensed type É - Begin italics Í - Begin emphasized type Ä - Cancel condensed type Ê - End italics Î - End emphasized type Å - Elite width Ð - Pica width Ñ - begin superscript Ò - Begin subscript Ó - End sub/superscript × - Begin double-width Ø - End double-width   Others not defined, all beginning with Escape, include:  x0 - draft mode x1 - LQ mode  g - set 15 char/inch G - begin double-strike H - end double-strike 0 - Tight line spacing (8/inch) 2 - normal spacing (6/inch)  If your printer does not recognize Epson codes, change these with the instructions under Printer and Text codes. To redefine underlining, use Û= for "begin underline" and Ý= for "end underline." Or enter á at the beginning of the text to force ZeeScript to underline by typing a character, backspacing and underlining it.  HELP AND THE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS MENU  If you are reading this with the ZeeScript help function, you can't be having trouble with the function.  Help is not available if there is no memory available to store it or if the help file is not either in your current directory or your system's path (a list of directories to be searched automatically. See your DOS manual.)  If ZeeScript beeps and says "file not found" as it is starting, press Á­Æ±, and select "Set help directory." Enter the correct directory as follows: \DOS\Utils -- enter backslash at beginning but not end. Press Enter. A full "Path" and filename of the help file appears next. If it is correct, press Ù. If not, press Î.  OTHER SPECIAL FEATURES -- Change screen colors by repeatedly pressing á or â until you're satisfied. -- Set screen 40 changes to double-width characters on color screens, nice for working with portable computer screens in dim light. Screen 80 is normal. -- Delete excess spaces removes excess spaces to the right of the cursor. -- ê Resets margins and printer commands to those built into the software. Otherwise, the last settings you used remain in effect. ABOUT ZEESCRIPT The essential core of ZeeScript is Speedscript, by Randy Thompson, published and copywrited by Compute Books of Radnor, Pa., in 1989. The source code was substantially altered, with new features, including help screens, the keyboard layout, long directory, directory paging, 5-key printer macros, and Epson default commands, among other things, for ZeeScript 1.5, by Peter Zicari in 1992. Keyboard input based on code by Kevin Bales of Atlanta, Ga. Case-insensitive searches from Robert Jourdain's Turbo Pascal Express (Brady, 1990).  Possible features to come: double-column printing, footnotes, mailmerge, 80-char printer macros, keyboard macros are relatively easy ones, at a cost in size. Buffering to disk is possible, at a cost in speed. If you have a  suggestion or run across a bug (some of the prompts need work), drop a note to me at 2601 Idlewood Rd., Cleveland Hts.
