                           HANDLING PRINTER MARKERS

    For your printer to know where you want to turn bolding or italics, or
    underlining etc.  on and off, special characters must be sent to the
    printer at the appropriate locations.  These special characters are
    described in the help file ESC_CODE.  Here, we will describe how to
    tell the printer WHERE to turn these features on and off.

    F3 is used for all Printer Marking functions.  Room has been made
    available for 12 Printer Marking functions.  It has been assumed that
    these 12 will consist of 6 pairs, one for on and the other for off.
    For example, AFTER PRESSING F3, F1 will turn bolding on, and Shift F1
    will turn bolding off.  These markers will appear in your text with
    different colors or attributes depending upon how you set them (see
    ESC_CODE).

    Additional functions are provided with F3 to delete and find markers.

                              Press the PgDn Key

    As an example, move the cursor to the asterisk here (*) and press F3.
    Turn bolding on by pressing F1.  Now move the cursor here (*) and turn
    bolding off by pressing F3 and then Shift F1.  The two asterisks
    should be visible on your screen with different colors or attributes
    from the rest of the text.

    Before doing the following instruction, note that you will have to
    press the PgDn key to get back to these instructions.  Press Ctrl Home
    to move the cursor to the upper left corner of your screen, press F3,
    and then press F7 to find the Next Print Marker in your text.  Notice
    that the Message Line below reads BOLD ON.  Not only does PC-TYPE+
    move the cursor to the next marker, it also tells you what type of
    marker it is.

    If this file were printed, special characters would be sent to your
    printer before printing the first asterisk, and after printing the
    2nd asterisk.

                              Press the PgDn Key

    You may, if you wish, place more than one marker on a character.  On
    the asterisk here, (*), press F3 and F1 to turn bold on, and then
    press F3 and F2 to turn underlining on.  Only the last marker is
    visible.  Press F3 again, and your message line will show that the
    printer markers are both present.

    Sometimes when you reformat a paragraph, these markers may shift
    slightly if they are placed on spaces, but this is normal and they are
    not lost.

    F8, F9 and F10 are used to remove these markers - F8 removes one
    marker under the cursor, F9 removes all markers on a line, and F10
    will remove all markers from the text.  Try it by pressing F3 followed
    by F10.  All the markers will disappear.  Notice the warning message
    requesting verification - this is to ensure that you do not
    accidentally remove all the markers when you did not mean to.


                              Press the PgDn Key

    In the interest of superior performance, PC-TYPE+ was designed in such
    a way that dictated that a pre-specified number of Print Markers may
    be placed on a line.  This number may be modified by changing the
    default setting. The default sent to you allows 6 print markers per
    line.  If you press F8 and then F2 you will see the default setting
    menu.  The entry on this menu which says "Line Attributes" is the
    location where this parameter may be changed.

    However, before this change will become effective, you must first save
    the defaults, exit PC-TYPE+, and then re-enter.  Under most
    circumstances, 6 markers per line should be adequate.
