^^TXTPAD\\ ALLOWS THE
USER TO CONSTRUCT ILLUSTRATIONS
FORMED OF PRINTING CHARACTERS
FOR USE IN DOCUMENTATION.
^A STYLUS IS USED TO POSITION AND DUPLICATE AND/OR REMOVE CHARACTERS OR
GROUPS OF CHARACTERS ON A 60 CHARACTER BY 60 LINE GRID.
^THE RESULTING ILLUSTRATION IS MONITORED ON A STORAGE SCOPE, AND CAN
BE STORED IN AND RETRIEVED FROM AN OUTPUT FILE.
.SKIP
^^TXTPAD\\ DISPLAYS THE MENU SHOWN BELOW ON THE STORAGE SCOPE.
^THE 46 CHARACTERS ALONG THE LEFT, LOWER AND RIGHT MARGINS
ARE AVAILABLE FOR INSERTION INTO THE ILLUSTRATION.
^WHEN ^^TXTPAD\\ IS STARTED, IT WILL ASK THE USER IF HE WISHES
TO READ THIS PORTION OF THE MENU FROM HIS OWN FILE ^^TXTPA.DAT\\.
^UP TO 84 CHARACTERS FORMING THE FIRST LINE OF THIS FILE
WILL BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THOSE SHOWN
IF THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS A CARRIAGE RETURN, BLANK
OR UPPER CASE ^Y.

^ILLUSTRATIONS CREATED OR READ BY ^^TXTPAD\\ ARE 60
COLUMNS WIDE BY 60 LINES DEEP.
^EITHER THE UPPER OR LOWER 36 LINES CAN BE DISPLAYED IN
THE SAME PROPORTIONS AS WOULD BE PRINTED BY A PRINTER
OR TELETYPE, OR ALL
60 LINES CAN BE DISPLAYED ON A SQUARE GRID.
^INITIALLY, THE DISPLAY IS OF THE UPPER 36 LINES,
AND THIS CAN BE RESELECTED BY RAISING
THE STYLUS WHILE POINTING AT THE
^^HIGH\\ SWITCH .
^THE LOWER 36 LINES CAN BE SELECTED BY POINTING TO THE
^^LOW\\ SWITCH AS CAN BE ALL 60 LINES BY POINTING TO
THE ^^ALL\\ SWITCH.

^A GROUP OF CHARACTERS IS DEFINED AS A COLLECTION
OF NON-BLANK CHARACTERS CONNECTED EITHER HORIZONTALLY,
VERTICALLY OR DIAGONALLY.
^FOR EXAMPLE, THE CHARACTERS IN THE FIGURE AT THE LEFT BELOW FORM A
SINGLE GROUP, WHILE THOSE AT THE RIGHT BELOW FORM 2 GROUPS
WHICH CAN BE KILLED, MOVED OR COPIED INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER.
^A GROUP CAN EXTEND BEYOND THE BOTTOM OF THE
DISPLAYED PORTION OF THE ILLUSTRATION IF ONLY THE UPPER
36 LINES ARE DISPLAYED, OR BEYOND THE TOP IF THE LOWER
36 LINES ARE DISPLAYED.
^EVEN IF NOT ENTIRELY DISPLAYED, THE ENTIRE GROUP CAN BE
KILLED, MOVED OR COPIED (IT MUST BE PARTIALLY DISPLAYED THOUGH
IN ORDER TO BE SELECTED).

^THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF A GROUP OF CHARACTERS IS DICTATED
BY THE VARIABLE ^^MOST\\ IN THE PROGRAM, WHICH IS THE DIMENSION
OF THE ^^LINE\\ ARRAY.
^THIS IS SET TO 1800 WHICH ALLOWS STRUCTURES OF UP TO
1800 NON-BLANK CHARACTERS (HALF OF THE PAGE BUFFER),
BUT IS EASILY CHANGED IF NECESSARY.
^THE STRUCTURE IS GROWN IN A SQUARE SEARCH PATTERN AROUND
THE CHARACTER POINTED TO, SO IT IS POSSIBLE
TO KILL, MOVE OR COPY THE CENTER OF A GROUP
LARGER THAN 1800 CHARACTERS LEAVING THE EXCESS INTACT.
^EVEN THOUGH NOT ALL THE STRUCTURE CAN BE PROCESSED AS INDICATED,
THE OUTLINE OF SUCH LARGE STRUCTURES WILL SOMETIMES BE DRAWN CORRECTLY
SINCE OUTLINING OF THE GROUP IS BASED
ON A PERIMETER SEARCH MADE IN THE DISPLAY BUFFER
STARTING AT THE UPPER LEFT CHARACTER IN THE ^^LINE\\
ARRAY.

^THE USER CAN
POINT TO (LOWER AND RAISE THE STYLUS WHILE POINTING AT)
ONE OF THE CHARACTERS ALONG THE LEFT, LOWER OR RIGHT MARGINS,
THEN POSITION ONE OR MORE COPIES OF THE CHARACTER ON THE
ILLUSTRATION BY POINTING TO THE POSITION OR POSITIONS AT WHICH
IT IS TO BE PLACED.
^THE POSITION OF THE STYLUS WILL BE TRACKED USING THE
CHARACTER SELECTED FROM THE MENU.
^THIS TRACKING CHARACTER WILL BE INSERTED INTO THE
ILLUSTRATION WHEREVER THE STYLUS IS RAISED.
^IF THIS POSITION WAS PREVIOUSLY BLANK, THE CHARACTER
WILL BE WRITTEN ON THE SCREEN.
^IF INSTEAD THIS POSITION ALREADY CONTAINS
SOME CHARACTER OTHER THAN THAT USED FOR TRACKING, A RECTANGLE
IS DRAWN AROUND THE LOCATION AND THE SCREEN WILL BE ERASED AND
THE ILLUSTRATION CORRECTED WHEN THE USER NEXT MAKES A SELECTION
FROM THE MENU.
^IN THE LATTER CASE, THE TRACKING CURSOR TEMPORARILY BECOMES
A RECTANGLE WHILE THE STYLUS POINTS TO THE NON-BLANK POSITION.
.SKIP
^A PREVIOUSLY CREATED ILLUSTRATION CAN BE READ IN FOR
MODIFICATION BY POINTING TO THE ^^READ\\ SWITCH.
^WHEN THIS SWITCH IS SELECTED, THE TRACKING CURSOR CHANGES
TO ^R, THE FIRST CHARACTER OF THE NAME OF THE SWITCH, AND
THE FIRST (OR NEXT IF THE ^^READ\\ SWITCH HAS PREVIOUSLY
BEEN SELECTED) 60 LINES OF THE FILE NAMED ^^INPUT.DAT\\
ON DEVICE NUMBER 1 WILL BE READ AND ADDED TO THE NON-BLANK
PORTIONS OF THE CURRENTLY DISPLAYED ILLUSTRATION.

BY POINTING TO THE ^^LINE\\ SWITCH, THEN TO THE NON-BLANK CHARACTER
ON THE ILLUSTRATION
WHICH IS TO BE DUPLICATED TO FORM THE LINE AND TO THE LOCATION
TO WHICH THE LINE IS TO BE DRAWN.
^THE TRACKING CURSOR CHANGES TO ^L WHEN THE ^^LINE\\ SWITCH
IS SELECTED, AND THEN TEMPORARILY TO THE CHARACTER TO BE DUPLICATED,
AND RECTANGLES ARE REPEATEDLY DRAWN AROUND THE ORIGIN,
UNTIL THE END OF THE LINE IS INDICATED.
^TO AID IN THE DRAWING OF STRAIGHT LINES,
A LINE DRAWN FROM THE ORIGIN TO THE CURRENT STYLUS LOCATION
IS SUBSTITUTED FOR THE CHARACTER
CURSOR WHILE THE STYLUS IS IN THE SAME ROW OR IN THE SAME COLUMN
AS THE ORIGIN.

^THE ILLUSTRATION ON THE NEXT PAGE DEMONSTRATES THE SEQUENCE

^THE ^^TRIM\\ AND ^^KILL\\ SWITCHES ARE USED TO

^REMOVAL OF INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERS WHILE IN ^^TRIM\\ MODE

^^KILL\\ MODE IS USED TO REMOVE GROUPS OF CHARACTERS

GROUP TO BE MOVED OR COPIED.
^THIS CHARACTER AT WHICH THE STYLUS IS INITIALLY RAISED
BECOMES THE ORIGIN AND IS INDICATED BY REPEATEDLY
DRAWING A RECTANGLE AROUND IT.
^THE CHARACTER AT THE ORIGIN IS ALSO USED AS
THE TRACKING CURSOR UNTIL THE STYLUS IS LOWERED
AND RAISED AT THE POINT TO WHICH THE GROUP OF CHARACTERS
IS TO BE MOVED OR AT WHICH IT IS TO BE COPIED.
^TO AID IN HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL MOVES OR COPIES, A LINE
DRAWN FROM THE ORIGIN TO THE CURRENT STYLUS LOCATION IS
SUBSTITUTED FOR THE CHARACTER CURSOR WHILE THE STYLUS IS IN
THE SAME ROW OR IN THE SAME COLUMN AS THE ORIGIN.

SUCH TEXT IN THE DISPLAY, IN A MANNER ANALOGOUS TO
THAT USED FOR ^^LINE\\ MODE.
^AFTER SELECTING THE ^^TTY\\ SWITCH, THE TRACKING CURSOR
CHANGES TO ^T. ^THE USER THEN SPECIFIES THE JUSTIFICATION
OF THE INSERTED TEXT BY POINTING TO THE LOCATION AT WHICH
IT IS TO BE INSERTED. ^AFTER LIFTING THE STYLUS, THE USER
SELECTS THE SECOND END OF THE LINE
(WHICH NEED NOT BE HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL) ALONG WHICH THE TEXT IS
TO BE INSERTED.
^IF THE SECOND POINT IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE FIRST, THE
INSERTED TEXT WILL BE PLOTTED WITH THE LEFT
CHARACTER AT THE POINT FIRST INDICATED.
^IF THE SECOND POINT IS TO THE LEFT OF THE FIRST, THE
INSERTED TEXT WILL BE PLOTTED WITH THE RIGHT CHARACTER
AT THE POINT FIRST INDICATED.
^WHEN THIS SECOND POINT HAS BEEN SELECTED,
THE PROGRAM WILL TERMINATE TRACKING AND WAIT FOR THE
TEXT (FOLLOWED BY A CARRIAGE RETURN) TO BE TYPED.
^INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERS ARE DISCARDED IF THE INDICATED DESTINATION
ALREADY CONTAINS A NON-BLANK CHARACTER OR IF THESE CHARACTERS
