***************************** FORM Editor Help *******************************

The form editor is used for creating  and modifying forms.  The first line  of
the display will show 'EDIT:' followed by the form name, the cursor  position,
the attribute of  the character the  cursor is on,  and the current  attribute
which is used when you type characters onto  your form.  An 'Ins' will  appear
on the  first line  if  you are  in insert  mode  meaning characters  will  be
inserted at  the  cursor as  you  type  instead of  replacing  existing  ones.
Another  indicator  will  appear  when  the  cursor  is  on  certain   special
characters.  The indicator gives the meaning of these special characters.

Attributes:

Attributes determine how  a character  appears on  your monitor,  such as  its
color, background color, highlighting, and underlining, depending on what your
monitor supports.  Each character on your display has its own attribute.   You
have control over  how these attributes  are used on  your form with  function
keys F2, F7, F8, and F9 (listed below).

Attributes have two purposes.   They are used to  make your form colorful  and
also TO DEFINE INPUT FIELDS WHICH ARE  PLACES YOU CAN TYPE INTO WHEN THE  FORM
IS EXECUTED.   Up to four  different attributes  may be used  to define  input
fields.   A  common  one  is  inverse  video  (black  characters  on  a  white
background) which has a value  of '70'.  This  attribute is selected with  F8.
Use of attributes is important and is covered in lesson 2.

Functions:

ESC - Return to Menu:  Exits Form Generation.   After the first push the  form
      control parameters pop-up menu will appear.  You can modify any of these
      parameters at this point.   Press 'ESC' a second  time to return to  the
      main menu or press F3 to resume editing.

F1  - Help: Displays on-screen help.  A condensed help screen is shown  first.
      Pressing F1 a second  time will provide detailed  help.  Press 'ESC'  to
      resume editing.

F2  - Define Special Characters &  Attributes:  Displays  a menu which  allows
      you to  (1) select  any  character including  the special  IBM  graphics
      characters to enter on your form; and (2) define any attribute you  want
      to use on your menu.

      Any character in the IBM character graphics set may be selected by using
      the cursor  keys.   To  place it  on your  form  press 'ESC'  to  resume
      editing, then press F10.

      Attributes apply characters on  your form.  They  define colors and  the
      ability to  underline,  highlight,  and blink  depending  on  what  your
      monitor supports.  Each character on your display has its own  attribute
      defined for it.  Attributes are  used by Form Master to designate  areas
      on your  form  where information  may  be filled  in  when the  form  is
      executed.  It is up to you to define these input fields.  You must  give
      them a  different  attribute  than  other places  on  your  form.    The
      suggested attribute for  input fields is  inverse video (attribute  70).
      Select it by pressing F8 while editing.  You can then move the cursor to
      where the field will be and press  the space bar repeatedly to watch  it
      appear.  This F2 menu however allows you to define any attribute you may
      want to use.

      There are three functions associated with this special menu:
         o  Select a character
         o  Select the foreground component of the attribute
         o  Select the background component of the attribute
      You can change the  function by pressing the  Return key.  Selection  is
      made using the cursor control keys.  Exit by pressing ESC.

F3  - Start Box / Line:  The current  cursor position is noted when you  press
      this key and a  "Start line or box"  pop-up menu will  appear.  You  can
      select if you want a single or double line box to be built.  Press F3  a
      second time.  The pop-up menu  will disappear and a blinking cross  will
      appear at the cursor position to mark  where the line of box will  start
      from.

F4  - Draw Box / Line:   Either a "Draw Box" or a "Draw Line" pop-up menu will
      appear.   Press F4  a second  time  to draw  the line  or box  from  the
      blinking cross marked using F3 to  the current cursor position.  A  line
      will be drawn if the cursor is in the same row or column as the blinking
      cross.  Otherwise a  box will be drawn.   A single  line or double  line
      style will be used  as specified by F3.   The line or  box will also  be
      drawn using  the current  attribute.   Therefore make  sure the  current
      attribute is what  you want  before using this  key.   Form Master  will
      attempt to connect all lines and  boxes wherever they meet, even  single
      lines with double lines.

F5  - Pick Line:  A "Pick Lines" pop-up menu will appear.  You can specify the
      number of lines to pick from 1 to 24, beginning with the line the cursor
      falls on.  Press F5 a second time  to pick the lines.  Use this with  F6
      to copy lines from one place to another.

F6  - Put Line:  An "Insert n lines" pop-up menu will appear where 'n' is  the
      number of lines  picked with F5.   Press F6  a second time  to copy  the
      picked lines in front of the line containing the cursor.

F7  - Use Normal Attribute:   The  current attribute  is set  to normal  video
      which is white characters  on a black  background (07). Further  typing,
      lines, and boxes will add characters  in normal video.  Note that  white
      appears as green or amber on some monochrome monitors.

F8  - Use Inverse Video Attribute:   The current attribute  is set to  inverse
      video, black characters  on a  white background (70).   Further  typing,
      lines, and boxes will add characters in inverse video.

F9  - Use Special  Attribute:   The  current attribute  is  set to  that  last
      defined using F2.  Further typing, lines, and boxes will add  characters
      with this attribute.

F10 - Type Special  Character:   The  special  character defined  with  F2  is
      entered onto the form at the cursor position in the current attribute.

Special characters  may be  inserted in  your  form using  the 'Alt'  key  and
pressing a letter.   These perform special functions  when you execute  and/or
print your form although they are not  seen when executing it.  The  following
are pre-defined:
    Alt-B   Print Boldface, Enhanced text
    Alt-C   Print Compressed text (17 characters per inch)
    Alt-D   Enter the current date when executing form
    Alt-E   Print Elite text (12 characters per inch)
    Alt-F   Enter the form sequence number when executing form
    Alt-H   Print Higher, Superscript
    Alt-I   Print Italic text
    Alt-L   Print Lower, Subscript
    Alt-O   Overstrike with next line (skip line feed after printing line)
    Alt-P   Print Pica text (10 characters per inch)
    Alt-T   Enter the current time when executing form
    Alt-U   Print with Underline
    Alt-X   Print Expanded text

Note:  If  Alt-D,  Alt-F,  or  Alt-T is used adjacent to one of the other Alt-
letters, it should be placed  second.  For example,  to have the current  date
underlined place the characters in the following order:
     Alt-U Alt-D   .    (See the example Invoice form.)

Note:  If you place one  Alt-U  character  on  a line to underline characters,
underlining will continue only to the last character on the line. If you  want
the underlining to  continue to the  right side  of the form  beyond the  last
character, place a second Alt-U at the right end of the line.
