              FAMILY TREE JOURNAL TEXT EDITOR

Data entry with the editor defaults to insert mode. You  may
move the cursor with the <LEFT-ARROW> and <RIGHT-ARROW> keys
to any place on the line without disturbing anything.

In the insert mode, the <HOME> and <END> keys move the  cur-
sor to the beginning or end of the current line if it is not
already at that respective position. Typing  the  <HOME>  or
<END>  keys  when  the cursor is already at the beginning or
the end of the line will move to the first or last  line  on
the  screen.  If  the  cursor  is  positioned  at  the first
character of the first line, the <HOME> key will display the
first  screen  in  the  file.  If  the cursor is at the last
character of the last line, the <END> key will  display  the
last screen in the file.

Typed  characters  will  be  inserted  into the text and all
characters to the right of the cursor will shift towards the
end  of  the line. The <DELETE> key will erase the character
under the cursor and the <INSERT> key toggle the  mode  from
insert to normal mode. (Normal mode requires that you retype
the entire line when you wish to make changes).

This editor does not support word-wrap so anything  that  is
forced off of the right end of the line is lost.

You  may  enter  foreign  characters  by holding the ALT key
while typing the decimal code (IBM extended ASCII)  for  the
character.  This  will work for most of the extended charac-
ters except those between the values 200 and 219 (some  line
drawing characters).

The  <UP-ARROW> and <DOWN-ARROW> keys will scroll the cursor
up and down.

The <PAGE-UP>  and <PAGE-DOWN> keys will  display  the  pre-
vious or next page of text, except that you will not be able
to go forward past any large area of  blank  lines  (usually
the end of text).

NOTE:  You may prefer to use your own editor or word proces-
sor to edit this information.  The  miscellaneous  utilities
section  of  the  program provides ways to import and export
files that may  be  used  by  other  programs.  FAMILY  TREE
JOURNAL  was  not  intended  to  be a word processor so this
editor only provides minimal flexibility. The only real  ad-
vantage   to   using   this   selection   is   that  it  can
(theoretically) handle files as  large  as  1000  Megabytes!
Most word processors would choke on a file that big!
