Reading a Phrase into a File
You can use V-Edit to read a single phrase from a file that was created using the Write
function.
To read the phrase from a single-phrase file into a file:
1. Open the file to which you want to add the phrase.
2. Press
<G>.
3. At the prompt to enter a phrase number to get, enter the number you want to assign
the phrase to be read then press <ENTER>.
4. If the phrase number you enter is already assigned to an existing phrase, you are
prompted whether you want to overwrite the existing phrase. Press <Y> to overwrite
the existing phrase or <N> to return to the Main menu.
5. When prompted to enter the Filename, enter the path and filename of the single-
phrase file you want to insert into the open phrase file, then press <ENTER>. The
phrase from the file is then written into the open file at the specified phrase number.
Adding Text Records to a Phrase File
You can add a text record for each phrase in a phrase file. The text record is displayed
when you select its associated phrase. The text records for a file can be printed or saved
to diskette.
Text records can be created and edited in V-Edit. V-Edit can also convert a standard
ASCII-based file to a V-Edit text record that you can view, edit, print, or save to a file.
Creating or Editing a Text Record
You use the same procedure to create a new text record or edit an existing text record.
To create or edit a text record:
1. Open the phrase file for which you want to create or edit text records, if it is not
already open.
2. From the Main menu, press <T> to access the Text menu.
3. To select the text record to create or edit, press <N>.
4. At the prompt to enter the phrase, enter the number of the phrase for which you want
to create or edit a text record, then press <ENTER>. If a current text record exists, it
displays in the text editing box. If no text record currently exists, the text editing box is
blank.
5. To edit the text record, press <E>. The cursor appears in the top-left corner of the text
editing box.
6. To create a new text record or replace the existing text record, begin typing. To
modify the existing text, use the right and left arrow keys to position the cursor where
you want to insert or overwrite text, then either begin typing to overwrite the text after
the cursor or press <INSERT> to change to Insert mode and begin typing to add text
to the current text record after the cursor.
7. To create a new text record or modify the existing text record for the next or previous
phrase in the open phrase file, press the <-> or <+> key, respectively, then repeat
steps 5 and 6.
