TITLE EDIT M E N U
SHIFT produces a n upper case character only for the next
character selected. [SHIFT on the keyboard must be held down
while simultaneously hitting a cha racter key. As well, many non­
alpha betic characters are produced this way; i.e. SHIFT 6
produces
"
&
"
(ampersand).)
The
SPACE BAR
inserts a space in the text.
DEL deletes the last character en tered.
RET [RETURN)
moves the flashing text cursor to the start of
the next li ne. The height of the current font determines the
vertical distance moved to start the new line.
CLR [F1 4] erases the entire title so you may start afresh. CLR
must be selected
twice:
the first time it illumina tes the CLR box,
the second time actually clears the title. This is to preven t
accidental erasure.
Above the digits
( 1
through
9)
reside four cursor positioning
keys. UP TRIANGLE moves the flashing cursor u p on e line.
Similarly,
DOWN TRIANGLE
moves down a line,
LEFT
TRIANGLE one character left and RIGHT TRIANGLE one
character right. Positioning the flashing cursor a t any poin t in
the edi ted title allows you to
insert
more characters at the cursor
poi n t by typing them in, or to
delete
characters before the cursor
using the DEL key.
To the left of the cursor movement keys are the overstrike keys,
acute accent, grave accent and circumflex [F5-F7), and tilde,
umlaut and degree [SHIFT F5-F7). The overstrikes are centred
and placed above the last character entered into the title.
Left of the accents are four foreign language characters. Used
like any other alphabetic keys, they are available in lower and
upper case.
[FI -F4, SHIFT FI -F4)
The bottom row controls character style and size:
Font is selected from the row of A's on the left. The fonts are
respec tively numbered from one to eight from left to right. Each
letter A is indicative of the style of the fon t chosen (cf. FONT
EDIT menu for a list of fonts and font sizes). The currently
selected font is illuminated. The U here refers to the User
Defined Font (font
8).
[keyboard: F9 1 for font I , etc.)
Character size is selected from the next group of buttons
containing size box es. They range from
Size I
(sma llest) leftmost
in the group, to
Size 5
(la rgest).
