+@FONT
You are currently in the  f o n t  d i s p l a y. Two fonts are displayed.
One of them is  a c t i v e, and its name is highlighted in the status line.

The [Tab] key toggles the active font.

[PgUp] and [PgDn] scroll the display.

Hitting any character key changes to the character display. You may then 
edit the selected character.

To save your work, use the "Write" menu option by hitting [Alt-W] or [Esc] W.

To quit editing, select the "Quit" menu option by hitting [Alt-Q] or [Esc] Q.

+@CHAR
You are currently in the  c h a r a c t e r  d i s p l a y. You may now
edit a character. Two characters are displayed. One of them is  a c t i v e.
The name of the active character is highlighted, and the cursor is in the 
active character's box.

In addition to the menu commands, the following commands are available:

(1) The [Tab] key toggles the active character.
(2) Move the cursor with the 8 cursor keys. [Home], [PgUp] etc.. move the
    cursor diagonally. [Ctrl-Left], [Ctrl-Right], [Ctrl-PgUp] and [Ctrl-PgDn]
    shift the entire character inside the character box.
(3) The [Space] key toggles the pixel under the cursor on or off. 
(4) [Ctrl-|] and [Ctrl-_] reflect the character horizontally and vertically.
(5) [Ctrl-^] sets the width of a proportionally spaced character to the
    cursor column. A small ^ indicator under the character shows the width.
(6) [Grey +], [Grey -] and [Ins], [Del] insert or delete a row or column.
(7) [Return] saves both characters and returns to the font display.
(8) [Backspace] abandons the characters and returns to the font display.
(9) Hitting any character key saves both characters and switches to the
    selected character.
+Help
To get help on a specific command, move the menu bar onto the desired command 
and hit [Alt-H]. 
 
To get general help, leave the menu (by hitting [Esc]) and hit [Alt-H]. 

+Mark
+Area
+Fill
+Erase
+Cut
+Duplicate
You can mark a rectangular area in the character box and turn all pixels
inside it on or off or cut out or duplicate the marked area.

First, move the cursor into one corner of the intended area and  set the 
mark there with the "Mark" command. Then move the cursor in the opposite
corner.

Select "Area Fill" or "Area Erase" to fill or erase the area.
Select "Area Cut" or "Area Duplicate" to cut or duplicate the area into the
paste buffer.

Afterwards, you can move the cursor to a different location in the same
character, or to a different character and select "Area Paste" to paste
the contents of the paste buffer.

+Paint
+Paste
The "Paint" option changes the  p a i n t  m o d e. If the paint mode is set
to FILL, all pixels traversed by the cursor are automatically turned on. If it
is set to ERASE, all pixels traversed by the cursor are automatically turned
off.

The paint mode also affects pasting. If paint is OFF, the paste image is
t r a n s p a r e n t l y  superimposed over the current image. That is,
two set pixels in the character and the pasted image cancel each other out.
(Despite appearance to the contrary, this is the most conservative mode
since pasting can be undone just by doing it twice.) 

If paint is FILL, the set pixels of the paste image are overlaid over the
character. If paint is ERASE, all pixels (on or off) of the paste image
are overlaid.

+This font
+Other font
+Disk font
This option allows you to read another character into the current box. The
new character writes over the old one. You can read a character from the
active font, the other loaded font or from any font on disk. 

The character can be rad in with its size unchanged ("Read") or scaled
to the current size ("Scale")

You need to specify the character, and in the case of a disk font, the 
file name.

When prompted for the character, you can hit [Return] to select the
same character as the one you are currently editing.

+Update
Write the current character to memory. You can choose between writing the
active character only or both characters.

Note that the [Return] key saves both characters and returns to the font 
display.

+Overlay
+Move box
+Cancel
Allows you to move the character boxes of the two fonts so that they 
are adjacent or partially or totally overlap. This is useful for editing 
characters that piece together to larger symbols.

Select "Overlay Move box" to position the boxes. The cursor keys move the 
active box. [Up], [Down], [Left], [Right] move the box by one pixel. [Home] 
and [End] move by the box width, [PgUp] and [PgDn] by half the box height. 
[Tab] toggles the active box. Any other key ends positioning.

Use "Cancel" to cancel the overlay mode.

+Quit
Return to DOS. If you did not save one or both fonts first, you will be
asked whether you want to abandon them. Select "Proceed" to proceed to DOS
or "Cancel" to cancel the "Quit" command.

+End
Return to DOS. If you did not save one or both characters first, you will be
asked whether you want to abandon them. Select "Proceed" to proceed to DOS
or "Cancel" to cancel the "Quit" command.

Note that the [Return] key saves both characters and returns to the font 
display and [Bksp] returns to the font display without saving anything and 
without asking for confirmation.

+Width
+Default
+Flexible
+Cursor column
Set the width of a proportionally spaced character. The width is indicated by 
a caret (^) under the character box. Setting the width to "Flexible" is a 
special case--as many pixel columns as necessary to cover the other 
characters in the same text column get printed. This is useful for an underline 
character that can shrink or expand according to the size of the character it 
needs to underline.

The "Width Cursor column" command is identical with [Ctrl-^].

+Type
Select the type of the font. Available types are:

Type	 Dimensions   Purpose
-------------------------------------------------------------
Screen    8 x 10      For IBM Color Graphics Adapter
Hercules  9 x 16      For Hercules Monochrome Graphics Adapter
Print    16 x 24      For 9 pin printers
Toshiba  24 x 30      For 24 pin printers
Laser    32 x 50      For 300 dots per inch laser printers

+First char
+Last char
A printer font that does not contain the full range of characters can be
set to a restricted range to save disk space.

For example, the Greek font has first character 'A' and last character 'z'.

To reset to the full range, set first character '!' and last character '~'.

DO NOT restrict the range of a screen font, or it will not load properly.
