         on the screen.   Grid can be used with SNAP to restrict drawing
         only on the intersections of the grid lines.

  SNAP - Draw cursor to snap points like a magnet.  If SNAP is turned on,
         then the START and END point of every line segment drawn will be
         moved to the closest snap point.   If the snap and grid sizes are
         the same, then all line segments drawn will be on the grid points.
              . . .
              . . .  GRID (x=8, y=16 will produce grid like this.
              . . ■  SNAP (x=8, y=16) will force drawing exactly to grid

  and pressing ENTER prior to starting DRAFT CHOICE.

  Once the program is started, the mouse operation is as follows:

  LEFT BUTTON -   Equivalent to the ENTER key on the keyboard.
  MIDDLE BUTTON - Same as RIGHT button.
  RIGHT BUTTON -  Equivalent to the ESCAPE key on the keyboard.

  To select a menu/command, move the cursor to the desired menu/command and
  press ENTER (i.i., left button).  The mouse movement sensitivity can be
  set using the Option, Default, Mouse command.
31,5,3
Pan

  In later versions of the program, a faster serial transfer rate will be
  supported.

     ■  LPT1 -  Select parallel printer port #1 for graphics output.
     ■  LPT2 -  Select parallel printer port #2 for graphics output.
     ■  COM1 -  Select Serial communications port#1 for graphics output.
     ■  COM2 -  Select Serial communications port#2 for graphics output.
     ■  FILE -  Specify a file name to send printer/plotter output.

  If a serial port is selected, it should be initialized using the PLOT BAUD
  command or from DOS (consult your DOS manual).
33,5,5
Plotting

  memory permitting.

    ■  GET   -  Get Pixels in defined window and assign next slide number.
                Once element(s) are selected you are asked to supply the
                delay time (milliseconds) for the currently selected slide.
    ■  PLAY  -  Display slides in the order they were defined.
                UP cursor Speeds up display rate. DOWN slows rate.
                LEFT-Forward, RIGHT Reverses and ESCAPE exits.
    ■  STEP -   Single step through defined slides (pressing LEFT or RIGHT
                cursor for Previous or Next slide).
    ■  RESET -  Erase all defined slides from slide buffer.
  HINT: When creating slides place a box frame around the desired shape(s)
  prior to being defined.  This box will act as the outline and will thus
  clear every time a new slide is loaded.  If an outline frame is not defined,
  the Play command could leave bit fragments of previous slides on the screen.
  NOTE: Memory for slides is dynamically allocated.  A memory limit can
        be reached even before 50 slides have been defined.

Symbols
  Create a symbol library that is saved with the current drawing:
  ■  MAKE -  Assign a block of elements a SYMBOL name.  The block can then
     be used as an entity anywhere in the drawing.
     1. Select the element(s) to be part of the defined symbol.
     2. Supply the name to use for the defined symbol.
     3. Define a reference point for the symbol.  (This is
        important since it dictates the manner the symbol is retrieved.
  ■  USE - Use a predefined graphics symbol composed of primitive
     elements.  A menu of symbol names is presented.  Highlight the symbol
     name and press ENTER.   You can preview the selected symbol by
     using the ICON command in the dialog box.
  ■  DELETE - Deletes a symbol from the current symbol library.
              WARNING: If not selected when a new drawing is loaded, the
              current symbols become part of the new drawing.
  ■  RESET - Delete ALL symbols from current library.

Text
  ■  PLACE - Select the point where you want the text to be placed.
     Note that the text font can be selected from the SYMBOL menu.
  ■  SETUP - Set the text options described below:
          ANGLE: Print all text from this point on at selected angle.
          RIGHT: Print all text right justified about selected point.
          LEFT: Print al text left justified about selected point.
          CENTERED: Print all text centered about selected point.
          FIT: Scale text so that it fits between two select points.
  ■  The current font can be changed by loading a new font file,
     (see SYMBOL, FONT command).
  ■  TEXT is also a special toggle switch in the TOGGLES sub-menu.
     Disables text drawing on screen and places a line in the position
     occupied by the text string.   This speeds up  the screen redrawing
     quite a bit in any drawing with significant amounts of text.   Even
     when disabled, all text will appear when plotting the drawing.
