SESSION 4.

     In  this session the method of obtaining of a printed (hard copy)  output
of your text will be described.  Two special WORDFLEX features, underlining of
text  and/or  boldface  printing (actually, printing with double stroke), will
be explained first.

     The  wide  variety of printers compatible with the IBM Personal  Computer
makes  it  impractical  to  use underlining  and  boldface  printing  commands
specific  to  any  particular printer.  Instead, a more general  approach  was
chosen compatible with most currently available printers.

     The  parts  of the text to be underlined or printed boldface have  to  be
delimited using two control characters:

      Ctrl P   -    displayed as  delimits the beginning
      Ctrl Q   -    displayed as  delimits the end

     In    addition, the line with text to be underlined or  printed  boldface
(printed with double stroke) has to be terminated with Ctrl U for underline or
Ctrl  B  for boldface.  If both characters are used, the delimited portion  of
the  text  is both underlined and printed with double stroke.  You can see  an
                            ***Press Ctrl Pg Dn***
example  of an underlined text in the title of this (and the other  sessions).
None  of the control characters used for underlining of bold face printing  of
the  text  is actually transmitted to the printer.  These characters  are  not
counted when a right justification of a line is performed (this and other more
advanced    features  will be handled in Session 5).  Also, the  alignment  of
columns must be adjusted since the delimiters  and  are not actually part of
the line.

          Examples:

          parts of this line are are underlined
          in this line, some words will be printed with double stroke
          last line will be underlined and printed boldface


     Alt  O invokes display of the printing options menu.  These options  will
be  preserved during the session; they can be changed easily.  Press Alt O now
and  examine  them  carefully.   The options are  quite  selfexplanatory,  the
simplest thing to do to test all of them on this text or a small portion of it
using  the  marked  section printing option ("c").   The  right  justification
option  performs  justification of the text for the printer output only.   The
text remains unchanged in the buffer.

     WORDFLEX  allows you to use the parallel port for printed output  ("lpt1"
option, the default) or the serial port ("com1" option).  Furthermore, you can
select the left margin for printing; this allows you to enter text starting in
column  1.  An appropriate left margin for a printed output can be selected by
the   option  "h"  of the Alt O command.  Single or multiple spaced   printing
is selected by option "g".  The default is single spaced printing.

     Continuous  or  single sheet printing can be selected by the "i"  option.
By  default,  the  option  (pause  at the top of a  page)  is  FALSE,  i.e.  a
continuous printout takes place.  If the option is set TRUE, a page is printed
and  the  sheet  ejected.  The next page is printed only after  "y"  has  been
entered  following the prompt on the command line.  The single sheet  printing
is  operational  only when the formfeed (ASCII 12, ) character is the  on  th
next  page.  The formfeed character on the selected first page is ignored when
the "i" option is TRUE.

     This  concludes  this tutorial session. Practice now the options  of  the
print  command now on this file or on your test.txt file.  Evaluate the effect
of  double  stroke   printing on your printer; good  mechanical  alignment  is
essential for this technique of text emphasis.
