                            LINE WIDTH DEFINITION

    PC-TYPE+ will support files up to 240+ columns in width.  If PC-TYPE+
    is configured now the way it was sent to you, the current line length
    would be set to 100.  When you specify a desired line length, PC-TYPE+
    will give you AT LEAST that many characters per line, and may give you
    from 1 to 15 additional characters.  This is a function of how
    PC-TYPE+ chooses to align information in memory and is a normal
    functioning of the program.

    While we stated above that the line length of the copy we sent you was
    set to 100, the actual line length is 111 characters.  This line
    length is not obvious if the margins are restricted to one screen.
    Let's change the margins.  Press F8 twice to enter the TAB mode.  Now
    press the End key to move out to the right margin - back up and change
    the R to a T - press Ctrl Right arrow to go out to column 111 (or
    whatever it is now set to) - type an R and then press the Enter key.

                              Press the PgDn Key

    PC-TYPE+ should now be set up so that you can go past one screen. Move
    the cursor to the "X" at the end of this line and start typing 20    X
    characters.  Notice that each time you get to the border area, the
    screen will shift a few spaces. (three spaces if you left this default
    the way we sent it to you.).

    You may set how far the screen jumps.  If you are in ANSI or BIOS mode
    for screen display, we suggest that you set this width fairly wide
    because it takes so long to refresh the screen.  In Direct to Screen
    mode, however, it may be set fairly small and still operate quickly.

    NOTE: No changes you make to the number of spaces to be skipped when
          the cursor reaches the border, nor the line width will become
          effective during the PC-TYPE+ session in which they are changed.
          You must first make the changes permanent (see HELP file
          DFLTS_SV), exit PC-TYPE+, and then re-enter.

                   CHANGING the LINE WIDTH and SKIP FACTOR

    These options may be changed by:

       (1) Entering the MODIFY DEFAULTS panel by pressing F8 and then F2
       (2) Moving the Option Selection Bar to the field entitled
           "Line Attributes" by pressing the TAB key
       (3) Pressing the F10 key to enter the sub-panel
       (4) Modifying the Line Length and/or Horizontal Displacement data
           as desired
       (5) Pressing F10
       (6) Making the changes permanent.

    An alternative method for changing the line length is to use the
    /WIDTH-n parameter when starting PC-TYPE+.  (See the HELP file
    "INP_PRMS" for more details on this parameter.)
