                       ALIGNING A COLUMN ON A CHARACTER

    In order to align on a character, you must >1.23456
    first  mark the block of information to be  12.3456
    aligned.   Move the cursor to the right of  123.456
    the '>' character and press CtrlB.  Do the  1234.56
    same just left of the '<' character.   You  12345.6
    have now marked the area of interest.  Now  123456.                  <
    hold down the Alt key and press 'A'. Using                ^
    the right arrow key, move the cursor in the field to the right until
    it is just above the '^' character.  Now press the '.' key and press
    Enter.

    You requested alignment of the numbers on the decimal point at the
    specified location merely by entering the desired character at the
    desired location in the field.  If the character did not exist in
    the field, that line would have been ignored.

                            Press the PgDn Key ...

    If you do not remember that Alt A is the key used for alignment, you
    can press F7 (Block Functions), and from the small menu you can press
    either F7 again, or AltA.

    If  there is insufficient room in the   > 1.23456      
    blocked  area to shift the string  of     12.3456      
    text to the desired position, PC-TYPE+    123.456      
    will  shift it as far as it can,  and     1234.56      
    then  stop.    Mark the area  to  the     12345.6
    right  with CtrlB's as you did above.     123456.      <
                                                       ^
    This time press F7 - then F7 again.  Now move the cursor over the '^'
    character, (it's easiest to press Ctrl right arrow and then back up
    inside the field) enter a period again and press Enter.  Notice that
    the top two numbers are not lined up since there was not enough room
    in the block defined.  Remember to leave enough room when marking your
    blocks.
