WELCOME TO THE S-C WORD PROCESSOR!

The S-C Word Processor transforms
your Apple into a powerful electronic
writing tool:  you can type as fast as
you like, make corrections instantly,
move words and paragraphs around, and
much more.

See that blinking rectangle in the
top left corner of the screen?  We
call that a cursor.

Find the key marked ESC and press it
once.  Now look at the cursor:  it has
changed to a flashing "+".  Press ESC
again, and you will see that it changes
back to a plain flashing rectangle.

Now press ESC again, getting the
flashing plus.  Press the M key once.
Notice that the cursor moves down to
the next lower line.  Press M over and
over, until the cursor reaches the
bottom of the screen.  To continue
reading this tutorial, keep typing M.
More text will keep appearing at the
bottom of the screen, and the text
you already have read will disappear
off the top of the screen.

(If you are using an Apple //e, be sure
the caps lock key is up.  Otherwise
typing M will move 12 lines down at a
time.)

You're doing great!  Keep pressing M.

Whenever the cursor is a flashing "+",
the four letters I,J,K, and M will move
the cursor around the screen.  Look at
your keyboard, and you can see that
these four letters form a "diamond"
pattern, like this:
                       I
                      J K
                       M

When the cursor is a flashing "+":
     I moves the cursor up
     M moves it down
     J moves it left
     K moves it right

You can practice a while with these
keys now, if you like.

If you press any other letters, numbers,
or punctuation marks while the cursor is
a flashing "+", the cursor will change
back to a flashing rectangle.  Just
press ESC again, and you will get the
flashing "+" back.

By now you have probably noticed that
the cursor always splits the text,
making room for itself.  This helps you
to know exactly where the next character
will be placed or where the next command
will take effect.

You have also noticed that when you are
moving the cursor down, it tends to stay
on the left side of the screen.  When
you are moving the cursor up, it rides
the ends of the lines.  When you move
the cursor left past the beginning of a
line, it goes to the end of the previous
line; when you move past the end going
right, the cursor goes to the beginning
of the next line.

All the cursor moves you have tried so
far have moved the cursor a short dis-
tance:  either up or down one line, or
left or right one character.  If you
hold the shift key down, and type I, J,
K, or M, you can move the cursor by
leaps.  J and K move the cursor left
or right six characters at a time, while
I and M move it up or down 12 lines at
a time.

Play with the cursor move controls some
more, until you feel fairly comfortable
with them.  Then come back to this point
and continue the tutorial.

-----------------End of Part 1----

Four different cursors are used in the
S-C Word Processor.  You are pretty
handy with one of them already.  The
two most used ones are the flashing
rectangle and the flashing "+".  When
the cursor is a flashing rectangle, any
characters you type will be inserted
into the text.

Try it now.  Move this paragraph up
near the top of the screen.  Then press
ESC until you see a flashing rectangle
cursor, and type a few characters.

See them squeezing onto this screen?
(You can delete them if you wish by
using the left arrow key to back up
over them.)

-----space for you to type in-----




----------------------------------

You can change the flashing rectangle
to a flashing "^" cursor by holding
down the CTRL key while you type the
letter C.  (That is called typing a
control-C, or CTRL-C.)  Do this, and
then type a few random letters.  Notice
that they are all CAPITAL?  You are in
the caps-lock mode.  You can get out
of caps-lock mode by typing another
CTRL-C, or by typing ESC a couple of
times.

There is one more cursor:  the flashing
"#".  You get this one by typing
CTRL-C when the cursor is already a
flashing "+".  The flashing "#" serves
two functions.  You can move the cursor
around with the IJKM diamond, but when
you do an amazing thing happens to all
the text you pass over!  Lower case
letters change to capitals, and capitals
change to lower case!  Try playing with
this one a while too.  You can turn off
the flashing "#" by typing another
CTRL-C, or by pressing ESC.
