                                   TOGGLES

    A Toggle, in PC-TYPE+, is a key which can change an option to two or
    more different states, where that option will remain in effect until
    the key is pressed again.

    The status of most of the PC-TYPE+ toggles can be seen by looking
    toward the right side of the Command Line.  Also, most of the toggles
    can be saved into PC-TYPE+ itself so they will become default
    settings. Even so, you may still change them from within the program.

    Each Toggle will be described briefly in this HELP file.  You may try
    these toggles as you read this file to help familiarize yourself with
    them and their functions.  However, since you cannot save files from
    inside the HELP files, the two toggles for creating .BAK files and
    confirming that you want to replace an existing file cannot be tested.
    The next screen presents a summary of all the Toggles.

                              Press the PgDn Key

                              Press the PgDn Key

                                  INSERT KEY

    When the Insert Toggle is On, an "I" will appear on the Command Line
    and the cursor shape will be large.  When the Ins key is pressed
    again, the "I" will disappear from the Command Line and the cursor
    will be a line.  The state of the Insert Toggle may be made a
    permanent default through the MODIFY DEFAULTS panel.


                           WORD-WRAP TOGGLE (AltW)

    The Word-Wrap Toggle may be turned on and off by pressing AltW.  When
    it is on, a "W" will appear on your Command line and words which will
    go beyond the right margin are moved in totality down to the next
    line.  When Word Wrap is off, you will receive a warning message.
    The Word-Wrap Toggle may be set permanently in the MODIFY DEFAULTS
    panel (F8 F2) on the sub-panel labelled "Toggle Settings".

                              Press the PgDn Key

                           ENTER KEY TOGGLE (AltX)

    The Enter Key Toggle, switched by pressing AltX, has three states:

    (1) "X"   -  the cursor will be placed at the left margin of a newly
                 inserted line whenever the Enter key is pressed.

    (2) "x"   -  the cursor will be placed below the leftmost character of
                 the current line on a newly inserted line whenever the
                 Enter key is pressed.

    (3) " "   -  the cursor will be placed at the left margin of the next
                 line down whenever the Enter key is pressed.  No new line
                 will be inserted.

    The state of this toggle may be set permanently in the MODIFY DEFAULTS
    panel.

                              Press the PgDn Key

                       ASCII CHARACTER ENTRY (Scroll Lock)

    By holding down the Alt key and entering a decimal number on the
    number pad, you may produce any character in the ASCII character set
    when this toggle is turned on.  It is turned on (and off) by pressing
    the Scroll Lock key.  When the toggle is on, a "G" will appear on the
    Command Line.  This toggle may be set as a permanent default through
    the MODIFY DEFAULTS panel.  (NOTE: PROKEY users must press AltShift
    instead of just Alt.)

                                CAPS LOCK KEY

    Pressing the Caps Lock key will cause letters typed to be upper case
    (unless a Shift key is pressed), or lower case (unless a Shift key is
    pressed).  When this is true a "C" will be displayed on the Command
    Line.  Pressing the Caps Lock key again will return your typing to
    lower case.  There is no facility to save the state of the Caps Lock
    Toggle.
                              Press the PgDn Key

               DRAG CHARACTER TOGGLE (Ctrl5 on the Number Pad)

    When this toggle is ON, a "D" will appear in reverse color on the
    Command Line.  This implies that any time you press an arrow key, the
    current Fill Character will be placed in the screen position just
    vacated by the cursor key.  The default state for this toggle is OFF.


                       NUMERIC KEYPAD (AltCtrl NumLock)

    When this toggle is ON, an "N" will appear in reverse color on the
    Command Line.  This implies that whenever you press a number pad key
    (without the Alt or Ctrl key pressed), you will get a number printed
    at the current cursor position.  The default state of this toggle is
    OFF.  While AltCtrl NumLock turns this toggle ON, just pressing
    NumLock will turn it off.  This toggle may be deactivated with the
    NumLock Override toggle.

                              Press the PgDn Key


                NUMBER OF SPACES BETWEEN SENTENCES (Alt1 Alt2)

    Normally you will want two spaces to be placed between sentences when
    you reformat a paragraph.  However, under certain circumstances, it is
    handy to be able to use the reformat function so that only one space
    will be placed after a period.  If you want one space between
    sentences, you may press Alt1.  If you want two spaces between
    sentences, press Alt2.

    This setting is not visible on the Command Line, but it can be set and
    made to be a default in either mode in the MODIFY DEFAULTS sub panel
    labelled "Toggle Settings".





                              Press the PgDn Key

                              BACKUP FILE TOGGLE

    When you save a file to disk with a file specification which already
    exists, you may or may not want to create a backup of the original.
    With this toggle, PC-TYPE+ provides you with three options:

    (1) It will always create a .BAK file
    (2) It will never  create a .BAK file
    (3) It will ask you if you want to create a .BAK file.

    These options may be selected (and saved as your permanent default)
    through the MODIFY DEFAULTS panel.

    It should be noted that if you are in file A:TEXT and you press Shift
    F9 to save the file a number of times, a .BAK will only be created the
    first time.  This way you cannot lose the original with multiple
    saves.

                              Press the PgDn Key

                              FILE EXISTS TOGGLE

    This toggle may be turned ON or OFF through the MODIFY DEFAULTS panel
    and may be set as your permanent default.

    Suppose you are editing the file A:\SUBDIR1\FILE1 and when you save it
    you change the name of the file (e.g., A:\SUBDIR2\FILE1 (or
    A:\SUBDIR1\FILE2).  If the newly named file already exists and this
    toggle has been turned ON, PC-TYPE+ will inform you that the file does
    exist already and ask if you want to save it under the new name
    anyway.

    When the toggle is turned off, PC-TYPE+ will go ahead and save the
    file regardless of whether a file of the same name already exists or
    not.



                              Press the PgDn Key

                           NumLock OVERRIDE TOGGLE

    This toggle is provided primarily for those of you who own a "key
    tronics" keyboard.  This toggle deactivates the CtrlAltNumLock /
    NumLock toggle.  Since the "key tronics" keyboard has two key pads,
    there is no reason to deactivate the NumLock key.  In fact, this
    keyboard will probably not operate as expected.

    The NumLock Override toggle is normally "on".  However, if you own a
    "key tronics" keyboard you should turn it off by going to the "Toggle
    Settings" sub-screen of the MODIFY DEFAULTS screen (F8-F2).

    When you turn it off, the NumLock key will behave in the standard PC
    fashion.
