TYPE-IT

	By Philip P. Kapusta   P. O. Box 5423   Falmouth, Va.  22403


		TYPE-IT  converts your  computer  into a typewriter.
	Print text to your  printer letter  by letter, line by line,
	or  page by  page.  TYPE-IT  is  NOT  a  word processor, and
	its features are  few and simple.  Ideal for quick notes and
	memos.

	[F1] Set a new tab position interval.

	[F2] Permits  the  user to  change  the mode  by  which text
	characters will be  sent to the printer.

	Mode [C]: Each  character  typed  into the  keyboard will be
	sent  immediately  to the  printer.  You must  identify your
	printer  at the  appropriate prompt.  If your  printer  is a
	dot  matrix  printer and not  specifically an EPSON,  or IBM
	brand, select the  [E] Epson LQ/FX  choice.  Most dot matrix
	printers emulate the Epson printer  as their default.  Space
	characters (ASCII 32) do not print  on dot  matrix  printers
	until a printable character is  typed to the keyboard.  This
	is not a bug but rather a limitation of dot matrix printers.

	Mode [L]: The current  line of  text  will be  sent  to  the
	printer after the [ENTER] or  [RETURN] key is pressed.  This
	is the default.

	Mode [P]: Text  will be  sent to  the  printer for  every 55
	lines of text entered.

	[F3] Prints all  text entered  up to the point that this key
	is pressed, and then ejects the page from the printer.

	[F4] Permits  the  user  to  save  all text  entered  up  to
	the current cursor position to a user given file name.

	[F5] Places  the date  into the  text at  the current cursor
	position.

	[F6] Places the  time into  the text  at the  current cursor
	position.

	[F7] Places  the user's  name into  the text  at the current
	cursor position (applies only to registered users).  An  en-
	hanced feature is available to registered users that  allows
	insertion of an ASCII text file at the current cursor  posi-
	tion when the [F7] key is pressed.

	For example,  if you  would like  to have  a standard return
	name and  address appear  automatically when  you press [F7]
	then create an  ASCII file and  save it as  "TYPEIT.F7" (ex-
	clude quotes).  The easy way  to do this is to exit  to DOS,
	then type at the DOS prompt the following:

	C:>COPY CON TYPEIT.F7   [ENTER]
	John Q. Public          [ENTER]
	123 East Avenue         [ENTER]
	Lansing, MI 65432       [ENTER]
				[ENTER]
	Dear Sir,		[ENTER]
				[F6]

	When you press the [F6] what you have typed at the DOS prompt
	will be saved to file TYPEIT.F7. Thereafter everytime you use
	TYPE-IT and press [F7] the contents of TYPEIT.F7 file will be
	opened and displayed at your cursor position.

	[F8] Allows the user to set left and right margins.

	[F9] Displays the files on  the default disk.  Select a file
	from the directory  list and  TYPE-IT will  send it  to your
	printer.  Press [ENTER] without  a  file name to  abort this
	function and return to  your current document.  This feature
	is available to registered users only.

	[F10] Exits the program.
