The student resume system described in this manual was developed at the
Yale School of Management for the automatic assembly of resume books for
each class of the Masters Degree in Public and Private Management (MPPM)
program. The student resume system has since been used elsewhere inside
Yale. For use at other sites, the portions of this manual which
describe the procedure for gaining access to the computer and which
describe the production of paper copies of the resumes will have to be
changed.

INTRODUCTION
------------
The RESUME program is a very simple word processor designed specially
for the production of resumes. The use of the RESUME program by the
students at the school enables the school to assemble a collection of
resumes which all share a common format. The students, however, retain
all of the flexibility in the wording of their resumes and much of the
flexibility in style that they would have if they were composing their
resumes on a typewriter.
The students use the RESUME program to type in the contents of their
resumes, and then to check and to revise them. Although the resumes
could be composed while the students are using the program, the
students' time spent on the computer will be more effective if rough
drafts of the resumes are composed before the students use the program
the first time. Each student can use the program many times to revise
his or her resume until it is satisfactory to the student. Each time
that the program is used, the resume belonging to the student running
the program will be picked up as it was last left. Each student must
then use the program a final time to submit the finished resume for
inclusion in the collection being assembled by the school.
The RESUME program is meant to be usable even by students who do not
have any previous computer experience. The first time that a student
runs the program, it will ask for the student's name and address, and
then will ask for the student to add to a standardized EDUCATION
section. Along the way, the student will be told about the various
conventions which the program expects, such as how to indicate blank
lines and dates which are to appear along the left edge of the page. If
the student does not know what to do at any point while using the
program, the student can always get detailed instructions by pressing
the ? key without typing anything else before it, and then by pressing
the RETURN key.
The student's name will be the first thing that the program will ask for
that will actually appear in the resume. The name should be typed using
all capital letters. The RETURN key must be pressed after the name has
been typed in. Likewise the RETURN key must be pressed after the
student has typed any of the other things that the program asks for.
When the program asks for the local address, only the words which are to
appear on the first line of the address should be typed. The program
will then ask for the contents of each the following lines of the
address in turn. The RETURN key must be pressed an extra time when the
address has been completed. The program will finally ask for the
student's phone number. The program can also accept a permanent address
and phone number.
Each resume must fit onto a single page. The student's name, address
and phone number will appear at the top of the resume. If both a local
address and a permanent address are specified, then the permanent
address will appear to the right of the local address. The resume will
be divided into sections with lines being ruled between these sections.
The descriptive text in the resume will start a couple of inches to the
right of the left edge of the page so that section names and date ranges
2 RESUME Program Users Guide
can appear along the left edge. The name at the top of the resume and
the section names along the left edge will automatically appear in dark,
bold lettering. All other words which are to be darkened or underlined
will have to be specially marked. It is suggested that school and
company names be entirely capitalized and darkened, and that employment
titles be underlined.
The initial contents of the first few lines in the EDUCATION section
will be identical for every student in the class, although the students
can individually change the contents of these lines later. After the
program has displayed the standard lines, the program will ask for any
additional information which is to appear in the EDUCATION section. The
program will not ask for any specific information for the EDUCATION
section or for any of the later sections. It will be up to the student
to decide what information is to be included. When everything which is
to appear in the EDUCATION section has been typed in, or if the student
desires to add to the EDUCATION section later rather than now, then the
RETURN key should be pressed an extra time to signal to the program that
the entry of this section is complete for the time being.
When the EDUCATION section has been finished, the program will ask "WHAT
NEXT?" A list of the many options which are available can be obtained by
pressing the ? key and then the RETURN key when this question is asked.
These options are selected by typing single English language words.
Among the options which are available, the word EDIT can be typed to
edit individual lines in the resume, the word APPEND can be typed to
append to a section, the word CREATE can be typed to create a new
section, the word DRAFT can be typed to display the resume as the
student typed it in and the word PROOF can be typed to display the
resume as it would appear when typed with the proper margins. There are
many other options. These are described in detail later in this guide.
After each of the operations which is requested by the student has been
completed, the program will again ask the "WHAT NEXT?" question.
The word EXIT can be typed in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to
exit from the program, saving the current version of the resume. The
program can then be run again later to further revise the resume.
Finally, when a satisfactory version of the resume has been obtained,
the word SUBMIT should be typed in response to the "WHAT NEXT?"
question. This indicates that the resume is ready to be included in the
collection of resumes. The resume cannot be changed after it has been
submitted. If the program is run after the resume has been submitted,
then the only function which it will perform is the production of a file
which can be typed or printed to obtain a paper copy of the final
version of the resume. The resume should not be submitted unless it has
been checked carefully. However, if a resume has been submitted but an
error is discovered in the resume before the deadline for the submission
of all of the resumes, then the RESUME program administrator can be
asked to make the resume available for further revisions. The resume
will have to be submitted again if this is done.
Only one terminal should be used at any one time to edit a particular
resume. If a single resume is being edited simultaneously from more
than one terminal, then the version of the resume which is shown on the
terminal which exits last will be the version which is saved.

4 RESUME Program Users Guide
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE GOING TO THE COMPUTER
---- ------ -- ---- ------ ----- -- --- --------
The collections of resumes from previous classes should be consulted to
learn the general style which is used by the students at the school.
The sample at the end of this manual is meant to demonstrate the
capabilities of the program and should not be used as a style guide.
In general, the resume is divided into sections, one for education,
another for experience, and so on. The student selects the labels for
these sections. These labels will appear in bold lettering at the upper
left corners of the sections. Lines are drawn across the width of the
resumes between the various sections. Most of the text will start 2
inches in from the left edge of the page. Only dates and short
annotations can appear all the way to the left edge.
An initial draft of the resume should be prepared before the RESUME
program is first used to enter the text of the resume into the computer.
The RESUME program has extensive editing and proofing capabilities, but
making extensive changes after the text of the resume has been entered
into the computer is tedious. The initial draft should be marked
according to the following rules to obtain a guide to what must actually
be typed into the computer in order to obtain the desired results.
These rules are simple. Margins, bolding and underlining are indicated
by inserting asterisks, circumflexes and underscores, respectively, at
the left ends of the words involved.
1. Put an asterisk in each line which is to be blank in the resume.
2. Put an asterisk to the right of a date or word or short phrase which
is to appear at the left edge of the resume. There are exactly 20
columns between the left edge of the paper and the left edge of the
descriptive text.
3. Put an asterisk at the left end of each line which starts with a
word which must likewise start a new line in the resume. If a line does
not start with an asterisk (or a minus sign as described below), then
the words on that line can be moved to the right end of the previous
line to fill out the line.
4. Put a minus sign at the left end of each line which is to bear a
bullet in the resume. If a date is to appear to the left, then the
required order is date first, then asterisk followed finally by the
minus sign. Since the type style used does not include an actual bullet
character, the minus sign will appear in the resulting resume at the
start of the line. The margin will be shifted 2 columns to the right.
5. Put a circumflex (or up arrow or carat sign) before each word which
is to be darkened or bold in the resume. If an asterisk or the minus
sign which indicates a bullet appears to the left of the word, then the
circumflex must appear between the asterisk or minus sign and the word.
The circumflex does not replace the space to the left of the word. If
the word being darkened is not the leftmost word on the line, then a
space must still appear between the preceding word and the circumflex.
The same word cannot be both darkened and underlined.
What Should be Done Before Going to the Computer 5
6. Put an underscore (or left arrow) before each word which is to be
underlined in the resume. If an asterisk or a minus sign which
indicates a bullet appears to the left of the word, then the underscore
must appear between the asterisk or minus sign and the word. The
underscore does not replace the space to the left of the word. If the
word being underlined is not the leftmost word on the line, then a space
must still appear between the preceding word and the underscore.
7. When the text is typed into the computer, discard leading spaces and
all but 1 of adjacent spaces.
For example, the initial draft might contain the following text.
1970-1981 HEALTH DEPARTMENT Linden, New Jersey
Dog Catcher
Working in a department of 13 and 7/11ths people, I chased
stray dogs and enforced the "Clean up after your pet" law.
- In 1 day, I personally caught 2 beagles and 1 spaniel.
- Was responsible for an increase in the quality of life for
Linden's cats.
1969 JAKE'S PIZZA Elizabeth, New Jersey
Cook
Part-time position.
Marking the above text would produce the following guide to what would
have to be typed into the computer to obtain the desired results. It is
assumed that firm names are darkened and job titles are underlined.
1970-1981 *^HEALTH ^DEPARTMENT Linden, New Jersey
*_Dog _Catcher
*Working in a department of 13 and 7/11ths people, I chased

Linden's cats.

After discarding unnecessary spaces, the following text would actually
be typed into the computer.

6 RESUME Program Users Guide
HOW TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE RESUME PROGRAM AT SOM
--- -- ---- ------ -- --- ------ ------- -- ---
The resumes will be produced using the DECsystem20 computer. Students
who do not already have accounts on the DECsystem20 will share a single
account with others in their own class. This shared account should not
be used for any purposes other than the production of the resumes.
Students who have individual accounts on the DECsystem20 can use either
their own accounts or the shared account. However, the same account
must be used to revise each resume as was used to enter the initial
version of the resume.
The shared accounts will be named S.RESUME.XX where the XX stands for
the right 2 digits in the student's expected year of graduation. The
password for this account will be the full 4 digit year of graduation.
A student in the class of 1985 would use the account named S.RESUME.85
and the password for this account would be 1985.
To use the computer, go to room B51 below the hall of mirrors and select
a terminal which is not in use.
1. Flick the switch on the blue box down, then up.
2. If an at sign character (the @) does not appear at the upper left
corner of the screen, press the RETURN key a few times.
3. If, instead of showing an @ sign, the terminal asks for a class
number, respond by typing 24 and then press the RETURN key. The 24
won't show.
4. When an @ finally does appear at the upper left corner of the
screen, type the account name specified above, then press the
return key.
5. When the program asks for the password, type the password specified
above and then press the RETURN key. The password won't show.
6. If there are a lot of initial messages which must be displayed,
hold down the CTRL key and press the Q key (Q as in Question) a few
times to scroll through these messages. Most of the messages will
not be of any interest.
7. Start the RESUME program by typing the word RESUME and then press
the RETURN key.
8. After finishing all that is to be done on the resume this time,
type the word EXIT when the RESUME program asks "WHAT NEXT?"
9. When the computer again displays an @ at the left edge of the
screen, type the word OFF to break the connection with the
computer.

off the computer.
PASSWORDS USED TO RUN PROGRAM FROM SHARED ACCOUNTS
--------- ---- -- --- ------- ---- ------ --------
The program will ask for a password if it is being run from an account
which can be used by several students. The password identifies which of
the existing resumes can be modified by the student using the password.
The passwords accepted by the program either can be selected by the
students the first time that the students run the program, or can be
assigned to the students by the RESUME program administrator. Currently
the students select their own passwords. However, both schemes are
described here because the passwords might be assigned by the
administrator during future interview seasons.
If the passwords are being selected by the students themselves, then
each student should select a password which consists of a word or a
short phrase which will not easily be guessed by anyone else who will be
running the program. The student will be asked to specify this password
each time that the program is used. If the password typed by the
student has been used before, then the student will gain access to the
corresponding resume and will be able to modify it. If the password is
not in use, then a new resume will be started which can be modified in
the future by the use of this password. The password which is selected
by the student is not related to and does not depend upon the password
which the student used to gain access to the account from which the
program is being run.
The password must be formed from the alphabetic letters A through Z, the
digits 0 through 9 and the spaces which appear between words. No other
characters are allowed. The word or phrase can contain up to 20
8 RESUME Program Users Guide
characters, counting the separations between the words of a phrase as 1
character each. The password "I AM THE BEST OF ALL" would be of the
maximum length and would be considered different than the passwords "I
AM THE BEST" or "I AM BEST OF ALL".
If the student has used the program before, and merely wants to review
or modify the resume, then the student must type the word or the phrase
which was specified when the resume was first entered. However, the
cases of the alphabetic letters A through Z which were originally used
in specifying the word or phrase do not have to be matched. Capital
alphabetic letters can be typed where small letters were originally
specified, and vice versa. The student will have to contact the RESUME
program administrator if the original password has been forgotten.
If the student has been assigned a number and an associated password by
the administrator, then both the number and the password must be typed
to gain access to the program. The program will ask for the number
first. The password can be typed to the right of the number on the same
line. If the password is not typed on the same line, then the program
will ask for the password to be typed on the next line. The password
can by typed using either capital letters or small letters. Both the
number and the password are needed to run the program. Anyone who has
not been assigned a number and a password, or who has forgotten either
the number or the password, will not be able to run the program. The
student will have to contact the RESUME program administrator if either
the number or password has been forgotten.
ENTERING THE STUDENT'S NAME AND ADDRESS
-------- --- --------- ---- --- -------
The student's name will be the first thing that the program will ask for
that will actually appear in the resume. The name will appear in dark
letters at the top of the resume exactly as the student types it. All
of the letters in the name should be capitalized so that the name stands
out even more. However, for a last name which consists of 2 words, the
first of which is a short prefix, or for a last name which is usually
typed with a capital letter in the middle of the name, the first word or
the portion before the embedded capital letter should probably be typed
with small letters where these conventionally are used. Gerry McDonald
would be typed GERRY McDONALD with a small letter c. The RETURN key
must be pressed after the name has been typed. Likewise, the RETURN key
must be pressed after any of the other things that the program asks for.
The program will then ask for the student's address. After this address
has been completed, the program will ask whether a second address is to
be included. If 2 addresses are specified, then the first should be the
student's local address, and the second should be the student's
permanent address. Most students however, just specify their local
addresses for use during the recruiting season. The first address will
be lined up with the left edge of the paper when this information is
displayed on the terminal or printed using the NARROW format on the fast
printer. However, this address will be shifted a couple inches to the
right to line up with the left edge of the descriptive text of the
resume when the final version of the resume is produced. If 2 addresses
Entering the Student's Name and Address 9
are supplied, then the second address will appear to the right of the
first although the student will type it separately.
Only the leading letters of the words in each address should be
capitalized. If the ALPHA LOCK key was pressed to get all capital
letters in the name, then this key must be pressed a second time to
release it before the address is typed. The program will ask for the
student to type each line of the address on a separate line. What is
typed here on a single line will remain separate from the other lines.
The RETURN key must be pressed after each line is typed. The RETURN key
must be pressed an extra time after the last line of the address has
been typed. The program will then ask for the student's local phone
number. A second phone number can be included by typing it on the next
line. The RETURN key must be pressed an extra time after the final
phone number has been typed. The program will then ask if a second
address is to be included. If the word YES is typed in response to this
question, then the program will ask for the lines of this address and
for the phone number or phone numbers to be associated with it.
Each section of the resume has a name by which it can be selected for
later modification. For most sections, these names also appear at the
upper left corner of the section in the finished resume. The lines of
the name and addresses are stored in sections named NAME for the name,
LOCAL for the local or main address and PERMANENT for the permanent or
secondary address. These names are, however, invisible. They will not
appear in the finished resume. The phone numbers are considered to be
part of the addresses, although they are asked for separately. If the
student forgets to supply a phone number for the local address, then
APPEND LOCAL can be typed in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" request, and
the phone number can be typed on a line which is to be appended to this
section. If a permanent address is not supplied when the addresses are
asked for, but one is later wanted, a section named PERMANENT can be
created by typing CREATE PERMANENT in response to the "WHAT NEXT?"
question. The text which is put into the section containing either
address is copied into the resume broken into lines exactly as these
lines are typed in. The NAME, LOCAL and PERMANENT sections do not need
to be located before the other sections. These sections are always
sorted out and printed at the top of the resume.
The following is a typical dialog between the program and a student who
is entering the text which is to be in the name and address sections.
The responses typed by the student are shown to the right of the
question marks. Where nothing appears to the right of the question mark
which the program typed, the student merely pressed the RETURN key
without having typed anything else before it.

address and education sections have all been entered. The student's
name has been placed in a section named NAME. The address which was
entered first has been placed in a section named LOCAL and the address
entered second into a section named PERMANENT. These section names will
not appear in the finished resume. It is required that the student's
name and addresses appear in sections having these names. The program
recognizes the local address by looking for a section named LOCAL. If
the local address appears in a section having any other name, then it
cannot be recognized as being the local address and will be included in
the body of the resume. However, the names of these sections can either
be capitalized or be formed of small letters.

Since most terminals cannot directly show darkened letters, the program
has indicated which letters are to be darkened by pointing to them with
circumflex characters (the ^) in the next line. The extra line used for
these circumflex characters will not appear in the final printed version
of the resume. Also, this extra line will not be included in the length
of the resume which is calculated when a LENGTH command is issued in
response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question.

COMPLETING THE EDUCATION SECTION
---------- --- --------- -------
When the student has finished entering his or her name and address, then
the program will ask the student to complete the EDUCATION section of
the resume. The first few lines in the EDUCATION section will describe
the degree program in which the student is currently enrolled, and will
be supplied automatically. These lines will be the same for everyone in
the same class. The contents of these initial lines will be displayed
and then the program will ask for the student to type in everything else
which is to be in the EDUCATION section. If the information in the
initial lines is incorrect, for example if a particular student is in a
joint degree program or is expecting to graduate in a different year,
then this information can be corrected later. The information in the
initial lines cannot be corrected now. If the contents of the initial
lines are completely inappropriate, then the student should start by
typing in what they should contain. The incorrect initial lines can be
deleted later.
The initial lines which are the same for all of the students in the same
class will appear similar to the following when displayed by the
program.

The lines in the final resumes will be wider than can be shown on the
terminal screen, so that fewer lines may be needed for this information
in the finished resume. The words which are shown underlined by
circumflexes or up arrows will be darker in the final resume than the
rest of the text.
After displaying some additional information, the program will place a
question mark at the left edge of the screen to indicate that the
program is ready to accept a line which is to be inserted into the
EDUCATION section. The question mark and then the RETURN key should be
pressed at this point to get a detailed description of the ways in which
the format of the resume can be changed. These instructions can also be
obtained later whenever a new section is being created or whenever lines
are being appended to an existing section. If anything other than just
a question mark is typed before the RETURN key is pressed, then this
information will be appended to the EDUCATION section. If only the
RETURN key is pressed, then the program will ask if the current section
has been completed. Additional lines of text can be appended to the
12 RESUME Program Users Guide
section later even if the student tells the program that yes, the
section has been completed.
Provided that the standardized lines are nearly correct, the student
should type any additional information, such as a description of areas
of specialization, which is to be appended to the standardized lines.
Then any previous degrees should be described. More recent educational
experience should be described first. The lines which the student types
will be entered into the resume in the order in which these lines are
typed. These lines can be either short or long. If a line is typed
which is longer than will fit onto a single line on the screen, then the
student should just keep on typing when the blinking cursor returns by
itself to the left edge of the screen. If the middle of a word was
being typed when the right edge of the screen was reached, then the rest
of the word should be typed. If the last character in a word had just
been typed when the right edge of the screen was reached, then the space
bar should be pressed before the next word just as it would if the word
had not extended to the right edge.
A phrase or a whole sentence or several sentences can be typed before
the RETURN key is pressed. Pressing the RETURN key indicates that the
line is finished, and that another will be typed in. It does not,
however, indicate that a new line is to begin at this particular spot in
the finished resume. The words which are typed in will be collected
together to form lines of approximately uniform length in the finished
resume. To start a new line in the finished resume, the previous line
must be terminated by pressing the RETURN key and then an asterisk or a
star character (the *) must be typed at the start of the information
which is to be on the new line. If something such as a date is to
appear to the left of the left margin, then the asterisk should instead
be inserted between the date and the rest of the text on the line. The
asterisk, in effect, marks the position of the left margin. If a line
does not contain an asterisk, then the words on the line can be wrapped
around to fill out whatever was typed before the RETURN key was pressed
to end the previous time. A completely blank line will appear in the
resume if a line typed by the student contains only an asterisk.
A circumflex or up arrow character (the ^) must be typed before each and
every word which is to be darkened in the resulting resume. It is not
necessary to indicate that the student's name or the section names are
to be darkened. An underscore or left arrow character (the _) must be
typed before each word which is to be underlined. It is recommended
that school names and company names be both darkened and completely
capitalized.
A typical dialog between a student and the program in which lines were
added to the EDUCATION section is shown below. The responses typed by
the student appear to the right of the question marks typed by the
program. The RETURN key was pressed an extra time at the end to
indicate that the section was complete.

A DRAFT command issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question would
list the lines of text as they are shown below. Although no lines in
the example are longer than the width of the screen, the program would
divide such lines into shorter lines each narrower than the screen and
each would have its own line number. These numbers are needed by many
of the commands which can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?"
question to identify the particular line which is to be manipulated.

A PROOF command issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question would
display the resume with the words of the text being wrapped around to
form lines of approximately equal length, except where the appearance of
an asterisk would force a new line. The number of characters which can
be displayed across the width of the terminal is less than will appear
in each line in the finished resume, so the division of the words into
lines will vary. The lines shown above would be displayed by the PROOF
command as shown below. However, in this manual most of the displays
produced by the PROOF command have been squeezed further to fit a 60
column typed page if necessary, so fewer words are shown here on a line
than would actually be shown by the program.

SPECIAL CONVENTIONS USED TO CONTROL THE FORMAT OF THE RESUME
------- ----------- ---- -- ------- --- ------ -- --- ------
In addition to the characters which would normally appear in the words
which will be seen by the reader of the finished resume, a few
characters are reserved for specifying the appearance of the resume.
These characters must be entered into the text of the resume and are
visible when the DRAFT, TYPE or EDIT commands are issued in response to
the "WHAT NEXT?" question. The results of the application of the format
changes indicated by these characters are seen, not the characters
themselves, when a PROOF or a PAPER command is issued. The following
characters are reserved for indicating the format of the resume.
* the asterisk or star character.
_ the underscore or left arrow. The underscore and left arrow are
different markings which identify the same character on different
types of keyboards.
^ the circumflex or up arrow or carat sign. The circumflex and up
arrow are different markings which identify the same character on
different types of keyboards.
- the minus sign or hyphen. This is only treated as a reserved
character at the start of a line or following an asterisk.
The contexts in which the reserved characters can be used are listed
below along with short descriptions of the resulting formats.
* (a line containing only an asterisk) produces a
completely blank line
text continues the previous line unless the previous
line contained only a *
*text starts a new line
-text starts a new line with a bullet to its left
--text starts a new line indented the same as if it were
marked with bullet

a bullet to its left
Date*text starts a new line with the date to its left
Date*-text starts a new line with the date and a bullet to

forces the text after the ** to the right edge
date*-text**right text starts a new line with the date and a bullet to
its left and forces the text after the ** to the

Special Conventions Used to Control Format of Resume 15
^words ^in ^a ^phrase would darken (bold) the words in the phrase
^multi^national would darken the prefix multi but not the word
national
_words _in _a _phrase would underline the words in the phrase
_multi_national would underline the prefix multi but not the word
national
The words which are entered on consecutive lines are usually collected
together to form lines of approximately uniform length in the finished
resume. A single asterisk appearing at the start or within a line,
however, indicates that the words on that line do not continue those on
the previous lines. The asterisk marks the position of the left margin
which is located about 2 inches from the left edge of the page.
Whatever appears to the left of the asterisk will extend to the left of
the left margin, and whatever appears to the right of the asterisk will
be lined up with the left margin.
An asterisk followed by a minus sign can appear at the start of or
within a line to indicate that whatever appears to the right of the
minus sign is to start a new item in a list and is to be marked at its
left end with a bullet. The bullet is represented by a hyphen in the
finished resume if this is typed, or by a small filled-in circle if this
is typeset. The left margin is shifted slightly to the right to allow
the bullet to line up with the left edge of the rest of the text in the
resume. The leading asterisk is not necessary if nothing other than the
bullet is to extend out beyond the left margin. The words on the
following lines will continue to be accumulated into lines which are
shifted slightly to the right and which are slightly shorter than normal
until a subsequent line is found which starts with a minus sign or which
contains an unpaired asterisk.
For example, the following lines as displayed by the DRAFT command
19 1978-79*Managed fast food stand
20 in Vineyard Haven on Martha's Vineyard
21 1980*-Had part-time job as clerk
22 in hardware store in Woods Hole
23 -Wrote novel which was eventually published
24 by a major paperback publisher
25 *-Sang in barbershop quartet
26 *Returned to school at end of summer
27 to continue work on BS in computer science
16 RESUME Program Users Guide
would be converted into reformatted text similar to that shown below
when the PROOF command is issued.
1978-79 Managed fast food stand in Vineyard Haven on
Martha's Vineyard
1980 - Had part-time job as clerk in hardware store in
Woods Hole
- Wrote novel which was eventually published by a
major paperback publisher
- Sang in barbershop quartet
Returned to school at end of summer to continue work
on BS in computer science
The first line in a section will start on the same line as the section
name unless this first line starts with or contains an asterisk.
Two minus signs can be inserted at the start of (or after the asterisk
in) a line which is to be aligned with the items in a list but which is
not to bear a bullet.
Three minus signs can be inserted at the start of a line which is to be
in an inner list and which is to bear a bullet.
Four minus signs can be inserted at the start of a line which is to be
aligned with the items in an inner list but which is not to bear a
bullet.
The name at the top of the resume and the section names which are typed
at the upper left corners of the sections will be typed darker than
normal. To force any other word or phrase to be typed darker than
normal, the word or each word of the phrase can be preceded by a
circumflex or an up arrow character (the ^). Similarly, to force a word
or a phrase to be underlined when it is typed, the word or each word in
the phrase can be preceded with an underscore or left arrow (the _).
These characters should be obtained by using the keys on the main
keyboard, not the leftward pointing arrow key or the upward pointing
arrow key, the cursor keys, on the small keyboard to the right of the
main keyboard. A second appearance of the circumflex or of the
underscore can appear within a word to cause the remainder of the word
to be typed in the normal fashion after the preceding portion of the
word has been typed either darker than normal or underlined
respectively. The same word cannot be both darkened and underlined.
As an example of the use of these special characters, the following
lines of text in the resume
1975-1976*^Sixth ^Universal ^Bank New York, New York
*Promoted from _Janitor to _Vice _President
would cause the year range to appear at the left edge of the page, would
cause the bank name to be typed darker than normal and would underline
the position titles on the next line.
Special Conventions Used to Control Format of Resume 17
To right justify a phrase in a line which is to be typed on the letter
quality typewriter, 2 asterisks (**) would be inserted between the text
which is to be flush with the left margin and the text which is to be
flush with the right margin. The ** does not itself cause the line in
which it appears to start a new line in the finished resume. If the
line containing the ** is to start a new line, then either a single *
must appear somewhere to the left of the ** or a - must appear at the
start of the line. The ** also does not cause the next line to start a
new line in the finished resume. Instead, the words which can fit onto
the line are assembled, then whatever happens to be to the right of the
position occupied by the ** is shifted to the right. If, as is likely,
the next line is to start a new line, then either a * or a - must appear
at the start of the next line. The ** is taken to be equivalent to a
single space if and when the finished resume is typeset.
For example, the following lines of text
1978*^Little ^Bank ^and ^Trust ^Company**New York
*_Teller
*Responsible for the handling of many cents each day
would produce the following lines in the resume.
1978 Little Bank and Trust Company New York
Teller
Responsible for the handling of many cents each day
in which the company name would be darkened and the job title
underlined. Since the terminal which is being used to input the
contents of the resume probably cannot itself display darkened or
underlined characters, such specially modified characters are instead
indicated when a proof of the resume is displayed on the terminal by
their being underlined with circumflexs or underscores, respectively, on
the next line. Each of the specially modified characters is underlined
although each word only had to be marked once when it was typed in
originally. The otherwise blank line which is used to mark the
characters which are to be darkened or underlined will not appear when
the resume is finally typed or typeset.
The example shown earlier would be displayed on the terminal in the
following manner:
1978 Little Bank and Trust Company New York
^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
Teller
______
Responsible for the handling of many cents each day
(For those who might wonder why the ** cannot automatically cause the
line in which it appears to be separate from the lines on either side,
the reason is that the ** would usually appear rather far to the right
on the line in which it is originally typed. This program breaks long
input lines into shorter lines that can each be displayed together with
a line number on a single line on the terminal. If the program had to
break the line containing the ** but every line containing a ** were to
18 RESUME Program Users Guide
be kept separate, then the short section containing the ** would be kept
separate from the rest of the line of which it originally was a part.)
THE "WHAT NEXT?" QUESTION
--- ---- ----- --------
When everything which is to appear in the EDUCATION section has been
entered, then the RETURN key should be pressed an extra time to signal
to the program that nothing more is to be added to this section. More
can be added later, however. The program will then ask "WHAT NEXT?" If
this is not the first time that the program has been used for the
current resume, then the program will ask the "WHAT NEXT?" question at
the start rather than asking for name, address and education. The
responses to the "WHAT NEXT?" question are all short english language
words. These words select the various functions which the program can
perform. The program will again ask the "WHAT NEXT?" question after
each newly requested action has been completed. The "WHAT NEXT?"
question will, of course, not be asked if the program has been
instructed to save the current version of the resume and then to stop.
The question mark key and then the RETURN key can be pressed in response
to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to obtain a list of the possible responses.
For most of the commands which can be issued in response to the "WHAT
NEXT?" question, the entire word does not need to be typed. Only enough
of the word is needed to unambiguously identify the command from all
others. The TYPE command is the only command which starts with the
letter T, so the TYPE command can be selected by any of the
abbreviations T, TY, TYP or TYPE. The SUBMIT and CANCEL commands are
considered important enough, however, that these commands must be
spelled out completely. In addition, the program will ask for
confirmation that yes, these are really the operations which are
desired.
Many of the commands which can be selected in response to the "WHAT
NEXT?" question require that a section be identified by name or that a
line be identified by number. If the RETURN key is pressed immediately
after the command, then the program will ask for the line number or for
the section name. The line number or section name can also be typed to
the right of the command.
To select a section which already exists, it is only necessary to type
enough letters at the start of the name to unambiguously identify the
section name from all others. For example, the letters ED would select
the EDUCATION section, provided that no other section has been created
which starts with the letter E followed by the letter D. The
capitalization of the section name is ignored when an existing section
is being selected. The letters E and D could both be capitals or could
both be small letters or one could be a capital and the other a small
letter. However, when a new section is being created or when an
existing section is being renamed, capital letters must be typed only
where capital letters are to appear in the new section name. If a
section has been assigned a name which is spelled incorrectly or in
which the capitalization is inconsistent with the rest of resume, then a
RENAME command can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to
The "WHAT NEXT?" Question 19
change the name of the section. A section name can consist of just one
word or of several words.
The DRAFT command can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question
to obtain the number associated with the line which is to be modified.
Since the program may have to fill the screen several times before it
gets to the desired line, the display can be restricted to the section
which contains the line by typing the word ONLY in response to the "WHAT
NEXT?" question, and then by naming the section which is to be the only
section displayed by the DRAFT and PROOF commands. Each line which is
entered into the resume is assigned a line number. If a line is entered
which is longer than the width of the screen of the terminal, then this
line will be split into smaller pieces each shorter than the width of
the screen, and each piece will be assigned a line number.
Numbers are assigned to the lines in the order in which these lines were
entered. The line numbers stay the same during a particular run of the
program. If a command issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question
inserts a new line between existing lines, then the new line is assigned
a number just greater than the largest line number currently in use even
though this means that there is a discontinuity in the line numbers.
Likewise, deleting a line leaves a gap in the line numbering sequence.
The original line numbers are retained because the line numbers tend to
be associated with particular lines. Having the number 10 point to a
particular line for awhile but later to another would lead to confusion.
However, each time the program is run, the line numbers are reassigned
starting at 1 and incremented by 1 for each line, since it is assumed
that enough time has passed that the original association between the
numbers and the lines will have been forgotten.
The following commands can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?"
question.
AFTER and a line number to insert a new line after the indicated line.
The BEFORE command can be used to insert a new line before an
existing line.
ALL so that the DRAFT and PROOF commands will display all sections.
The ONLY command can be used later to select the display of a
particular section. Also, if any other command is issued which
references a particular section, then the DRAFT and PROFF
commands will only display that section. For example, if the
CREATE command is used to create a new section or if an APPEND
command is used to append to an existing section, then these
become the selected sections.
APPEND and a section name to append several new lines to the end of an
existing section. The CREATE command should be used instead to
create an entirely new section.
BEFORE and a line number to insert a new line before the indicated
line. The AFTER command can be used to insert a new line after
an existing line.
20 RESUME Program Users Guide
BREAK and a line number to specify that the words on the indicated
line are not to be placed to the right of those on the line
preceding it. The BULLET command should be used if the line is
to start with a bullet. The BREAK command inserts an asterisk
at the start of the line and the BULLET command inserts a minus
sign. These characters could also be inserted explicitly by use
of the EDIT command. Any asterisk or minus sign already at the
start of the line is removed. The EDIT command can also be used
to split an existing line.
BULLET and a line number to cause the indicated line to begin with a
bullet. This inserts a minus sign at the start of the line.
Any asterisk or minus sign already at the start of the line is
removed. The minus sign could also be inserted explicitly by
the use of the EDIT command. The EDIT command can also be used
to split an existing line, inserting a bullet at the break.
CANCEL to cancel the current resume and then to start over. Everything
currently in the resume will be lost and the program will again
ask for name, address and education, exactly as if the program
had been run the first time. The CANCEL command cannot be
abbreviated. The word CANCEL must be spelled out in its
entirety. To further insure that this command is not issued by
accident, the program will warn of the consequences of
proceeding with this command. The program will then ask for
confirmation that yes, the current resume is really to be
cancelled.
CREATE and a new section name to create a new section having the
indicated name. The section name should be entirely
capitalized. The RENAME command can be used later to change the
spelling or the capitalization of the section name.
DELETE and a line number to delete the indicated line. The current
contents of the line will be displayed. The program will ask
for confirmation that yes, this line is really to be deleted.
The line number will not be reused until the next time that the
program is run. The REPLACE command can be used instead to
replace the entire contents of an existing line retaining the
original line number.
DRAFT to display the current section or the entire resume as it was
originally entered. A line number will appear to the left of
each line. Only the words which were typed together on the same
line, i.e. before the RETURN key was pressed, will be shown
together. Long lines will usually be shown divided up into
shorter ones each with its own line number. Asterisks, minus
signs, circumflexes and underscores will all be shown where
these appear in the text. If an ALL command has been issued
recently, then the entire resume will be displayed. If an ONLY
command or any other command which references a single section
has been issued more recently than an ALL command, then only the
single section will be displayed. The PROOF command can be
issued instead to display the finished resume but with slightly
shorter lines than will be used in the typed or printed version
The "WHAT NEXT?" Question 21
of the resume.
EDIT and a line number to change part of the indicated line. The
REPLACE command should be used instead if the contents of the
entire line are to be replaced. The EDIT command can be used to
insert, delete, capitalize, darken or underline a single
character, a word or an entire phrase. The program will display
the contents of the line and will ask for the character, word or
phrase which is to be modified or which appears where the
insertion is to be made. The program will then search for the
leftmost appearance of the character, word or phrase in the
line. The line will be displayed again with the item which was
found being marked. The program will ask how this item is to be
modified. If the character, word or phrase appears more than
once in the line and the appearance which was found is not the
proper one, then these appearances must be stepped through in
turn until the proper appearance is reached. There are many
editing capabilities. These are described in detail in a later
section of this manual.
EXIT to save the current version of the resume, and then to exit from
the program. This program can be run again later to revise the
resume. In order to have the resume be included in the final
collection of resumes being assembled by the school, the program
must be run again and the SUBMIT command must be issued to
indicate that the resume has been finished. Once the SUBMIT
command has been issued, the resume cannot be revised further.
JOIN and a line number to specify that the words on the indicated
line can be placed to the right of those on the line preceding
it. The JOIN command removes the asterisk or the minus sign
from the start of the line. It cannot be used to remove an
asterisk which appears to the right of a date or other item
which is to appear to the left of the left margin. The EDIT
command can be used to explicitly remove any of these
characters.
LENGTH to calculate the length of the finished resume. If the resume
is to be restricted to a single page, then the number of lines
which are required will be reported. If the resume is allowed
to continue onto following pages, then both the total number of
pages required and the number of lines on the final page will be
reported. The number of characters on a line and the maximum
number of lines per page will vary depending upon whether the
final resumes are being typed or typeset. Both the actual
length and the maximum allowed length will be reported.
If the final resume collection will be typed on the letter
quality typewriter, then the LENGTH command also checks whether
the resume contains any unavailable characters. The letter
quality typewriter which is used to type the final resume
collection cannot produce all of the characters which can be
shown on the video terminals. The characters which are
unavailable include the following:
22 RESUME Program Users Guide
The left square bracket [ The right square bracket ]
The left brace { The right brace }
The less than sign < The greater than sign >
The accent grave ` The tilde ~
The reverse slash \ The vertical bar |
The SUBMIT command cannot successfully indicate that the resume
is ready to be included in the resume collection if the resume
is too long or if it contains any unavailable characters.
MOVE and a section name to move the indicated section to a location
before another section. The name of the second section must be
specified on a separate line since such section names can
consist of more than just a single word. The sections will
appear in the finished resume in the order in which the sections
are shown by the DRAFT and PROOF commands. However, the
sections having the names NAME, LOCAL and PERMANENT are assumed
to contain the name, local address and permanent address
respectively, and are printed at the top of the finished resume
regardless of the location of these sections relative to the
other sections and regardless of their locations relative to
each other.
ONLY and a section name so that the DRAFT and PROOF commands will
show only the indicated section. Any other command which
references a single section will also cause the DRAFT and PROOF
commands to only show the indicated section. An ALL command can
be used later so that the DRAFT and PROOF commands will show the
entire resume.
PAPER to write the current version of the resume to a file which can
be typed or printed later, and then to exit from the program.
The file is expendable, and can be modified or deleted without
altering the program's own record of what is contained in the
resume. The program can be run again later to revise the
resume.
The program will ask which of several formats is desired. The
format which should be selected will depend upon the type of
terminal or printer which will be used to display the current
version of the resume, and whether the final resume collection
will be typed or typeset. When the program asks for the format,
pressing only the RETURN key can be used to cause the PAPER
command to not be acted upon, and to cause the "WHAT NEXT?"
question to be asked again.
PROOF to display a formatted version of the current section or of the
entire resume. The lines will be shorter than in the final
resume, however, since the computer terminal cannot show as many
characters across the width of a page as will appear in the
final copies of the resumes. The entire resume will be
displayed if an ALL command has been issued recently. Only a
single section will be displayed if an ONLY command or any
command which references a single section has been issued more
recently than an ALL command. The DRAFT command can be used
The "WHAT NEXT?" Question 23
instead to display the original contents of the lines in the
resume or in a section of the resume.
RENAME and a section name to change the name of the indicated section.
The program will ask for the new section name to be specified on
a separate line. The RENAME command can be used to correct the
spelling or capitalization of a section name or to change the
section name to something entirely different. The new section
name will include capital (upper case) letters only where
capital letters are explicitly typed.
REPLACE and a line number to replace the entire contents of an existing
line. The former contents of the line will be displayed first.
The program will ask for confirmation that yes, this line is
really to be replaced. The program will then ask what the line
is to contain instead. The new contents of the line can be
longer than the width of the screen. Whatever is typed before
the RETURN key is pressed replaces the former contents of the
line. If a long line is typed, then this line will be divided
into shorter lines in the draft of the resume, and each of these
portions will be assigned its own line number. The REPLACE
command cannot be used to delete a line. The DELETE command
should be used instead if the line is to be deleted. If only
the RETURN key is pressed when the program asks for the new
contents of the line, then the REPLACE command is not acted
upon.
RULE and a new section name to create a section having this name from
the lower portion of an existing section. The program will then
ask for the number of the line which is to be the first line of
the new section. The line number cannot be typed to the right
of the section name since the section name could itself contain
a number. The name of the new section can consist of 1 or of
several words. As is the case with the new section names
assigned by the CREATE and RENAME commands, the name of the new
section will be capitalized only where capital letters are
typed.
SAVE to save the current version of the resume, but not exit from the
program. Additional revisions can still be made to the resume.
Issuing the SAVE command assures that the changes made to the
resume prior to the issuing of the SAVE command will be retained
even if the computer system should happen to die. It is
suggested that a current version of the resume should be saved
every 15 or 20 minutes. Even if a SAVE command is not
explicitly issued, the current version of the resume will be
saved whenever approximately 33 lines have been inserted or
replaced, or whenever approximately 100 changes have been made
to existing lines. The PAPER and the EXIT commands also save
the current version of the resume, but the program then stops.
If the PAPER command is issued, the program also writes a file
into the local disk area which contains an expendable copy of
the resume which can be printed on the fast printer or typed on
the letter quality typewriter.
24 RESUME Program Users Guide
SKIP and a line number to cause a blank line to appear in the
resulting resume above the indicated line. This merely inserts
an extra line which contains only an asterisk into the rough
form of resume. The BEFORE command could also be used to insert
a line containing only an asterisk.
SUBMIT to indicate that the current version of the resume is ready to
be included in the collection of resumes being assembled by the
school. The SUBMIT command cannot be abbreviated. The word
SUBMIT must be spelled out in its entirety. To further insure
that this command is not issued by accident, the program will
warn of the consequences of proceeding with this command. The
program will ask for confirmation that yes, the resume really is
finished and is ready to be included in the resume collection.
The program will not allow the resume to be submitted if the
resume is too long or if it contains characters which are not
available on the device upon which the final version of the
resume collection will be produced. The LENGTH command can also
be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to check
whether these requirements are met. The description of the
LENGTH command should be consulted for further information.
After the SUBMIT command has been issued successfully, the
resume cannot be changed further. If the RESUME program is run
again after the resume has been submitted, then the program will
allow the writing of a copy of the resume into a file which can
be printed or typed, but the resume cannot be revised further.
If an error is discovered in a submitted resume before the
deadline for the submission of all resumes, then the RESUME
program administrator will have to be asked to allow further
revisions of the resume. However, the resume would then have to
be submitted again in order to be included in the resume
collection.
SWITCH and 3 line numbers to move several lines within a section. Only
the first line number can appear to the right of the SWITCH
command. The others must be typed separately. The lines
identified by the first and second numbers are moved to just
above the line identified by the third number. The first number
identifies the top line to be moved. The second number
identifies the bottom line to be moved. The first and second
number would be the same if only 1 line is to be moved.
The easiest procedure to insert several lines into the middle of
a section is to use the APPEND command to append them to the end
of the section. Then the DRAFT command can be used to find the
numbers of the top and bottom lines and the number of the line
before which these line are to be placed. Finally, the SWITCH
command can be used to rearrange the lines.
TYPE and a line number to display the indicated line on the terminal.
Most commands which modify particular lines or do something
relative to a particular line also display the line and ask for
confirmation that the displayed line is the line actually meant.
The "WHAT NEXT?" Question 25
UNRULE and a section name to merge the indicated section with the
preceding section. The RULE command can later be used to split
the sections apart again.
CORRECTING ERRORS
---------- ------
If an error is detected in a line as it is being typed in on the
terminal, the key which is marked either DEL or RUBOUT can be used to
erase the characters to the right of the error and then to erase the
error itself. Each time that this key is pressed, one more character
will be erased. When the error itself has disappeared, the correction
and the rest of the line can be typed again. Errors CANNOT be corrected
by the use of the cursor keys (those marked with arrows) or with the
BACKSPACE key. In particular, the cursor keys and the BACKSPACE key
cannot be used to return to and correct errors in lines which appear on
the screen above the line which is currently being typed in on the
terminal. This program is not a video editor which would allow an
active cursor to be moved around the screen. This program instead
processes each line when the RETURN key is pressed. Although the
previous dialog between the student and the program remains visible for
awhile on the screen, the previous lines cannot be changed by typing
over them.
If the RETURN key has already been pressed, or if more has been typed
than will fit across the width of the screen, then the entry of the text
into the section must be finished before the error can be corrected. At
that time, a DRAFT command can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?"
request to discover the number of the line in error. If the contents of
the line are completely wrong, then the entire line should be replaced.
This can be requested by typing the word REPLACE followed by the line
number in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question. The program will then
ask for the new contents of the line.
If the contents of the line are largely correct, then just the portion
which is in error should be modified. This can be requested by typing
the EDIT command followed by the line number. Once the EDIT command has
been issued, several modifications can be performed in turn on the
selected line. After each modification has been completed, the program
will ask if the editing of the line has been completed. However, to
modify some other line, the EDIT command would have to be selected again
in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question.
The EDIT command searches for a sequence of characters selected by the
student, and then either modifies this sequence of characters or
performs some operation adjacent to the sequence of characters. The
item which is searched for can appear within a word or can consist of a
sequence of words. The cases of alphabetic letters are ignored in
finding the characters. The student can type all capital letters or all
small letters and still match the sequence of the same letters in the
line. The student usually does not need to type underscores and
circumflexes which appear in the line. However, underscores and
circumflexes which appear at unusual locations, for example at the right
ends of words, sometimes have to be explicitly typed in order to be
26 RESUME Program Users Guide
matched.
The EDIT command can be used to perform any of the following operations.
1. Deletion of an item.
2. Replacement of an item by something else. To insert a space in
"thejob", search for ej without the space and replace it by e j
with the space.
3. Conversion of an item to upper case or to lower case or
capitalization of only the first letter in each word in an item.
4. Causing an item to be darker than normal, to be underlined or
causing an item to be typed normally without darkening and without
underlining.
5. Insertion of a word or a phrase either to the left or to the right
of an item.
6. Attachment of a letter or a sequence of letters either to the left
end or to the right end of an item.
7. Insertion of a space to the left of an item, but not to its right.
To insert a space in "thejob", search for the word job.
8. Causing an item to begin a new line in the resulting document.
Optionally, the new line can begin with a bullet.
9. Searching for the next occurrence of an item on the same line.
When the item has been located, the program will display the entire line
containing the item. The item just found will be marked by being
underlined with plus signs in an extra, otherwise blank line which will
be displayed below the line containing the item. The program will then
ask "EDIT HOW?" to determine how the item is to be modified. The
possible responses to this question are all short English language
words. Where similar operations can be performed both in response to
the "WHAT NEXT?" question and in response to the "EDIT HOW?" question,
the same command words have been chosen for both sets of commands. The
RETURN key can be pressed without typing anything else if the item is
not to be modified.
The commands which can be issued in response to the "EDIT HOW?" question
are listed below.
AFTER to insert a word or a phrase to the right of the item just
found. The program will ask if the item just found is to be
attached or separate from the text which is to be inserted. The
program will then ask for the text which is to be inserted. If
the item is to be separate, then a space will be inserted
between the item just found and the inserted text.
Correcting Errors 27
BEFORE to insert a word or a phrase to the left of the item just found.
The program will ask if the item just found is to be attached or
separate from the text which is to be inserted. The program
will then ask for the text which is to be inserted. If the item
is to be separate, then a space will be inserted between the
inserted text and the item just found.
BOLD to insert a circumflex at the start of a word or at the start of
each word of a phrase to cause the word or the phrase to be
darker than normal.
BREAK to cause the item just found to appear at the start of a new
line in the finished resume. The line being edited will be
split just to the left of the item just found and an asterisk
will be inserted immediately before this item.
BULLET to cause the item just found to appear at the start of a new
line which bears a bullet in the resume. The line being edited
will be split just to the left of the item just found and a
minus sign will be inserted immediately before this item.
DELETE to delete the item just found.
LOWER to convert all of the alphabetic letters in the word or phrase
to lower case or small letters.
MIXED to convert the first letter of the word or of each of the words
in a phrase to upper case or capital letters and to convert the
second and subsequent letters to lower case or small letters.
Either "the job" or "THE JOB" would be converted to "The Job".
NEXT to search for the next appearance of the same item further to
the right in the line.
NORMAL to remove the underscore or the circumflex at the start of a
word or at the start of each word of a phrase to keep the word
or the phrase from being underlined and from being darker than
normal.
REPLACE to replace the item just found by something else. To remove a
space incorrectly typed within a word or between a word and a
following punctuation mark, it is necessary to search for the
two parts, issue a REPLACE editing command, and type in the two
parts without the space. To convert "jo b" to "job", search for
jo b including the space, issue the REPLACE command, and replace
by job without the space.
The REPLACE editing command can similarly be used to insert a
space between 2 words which were incorrectly run together. To
convert "thejob" to "the job", search for the combined words
without the space and simply replace them by the same words with
the correct spacing. The SPACE command can also be used to
insert a space to the left of an item.
28 RESUME Program Users Guide
SPACE to insert a space to the left of the item just found. This
would be used if 2 words were incorrectly run together without a
separating space. To convert "thejob" to "the job", search for
the word job, and then issue the SPACE editing command. The
REPLACE editing command could also be used to replace the
combined words by the same words with the correct spacing.
UNDERLINE to insert an underscore at the start of a word or at the start
of each word of a phrase to cause the word or the phrase to be
underlined in the finished resume.
UPPER to convert all of the alphabetic letters in the word or phrase
to upper case or capital letters.
OBTAINING A PAPER COPY OF THE RESUME
--------- - ----- ---- -- --- ------
The PAPER command can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question
to obtain a file containing a copy of the resume which can then be
printed on the fast printer or typed on the letter quality typewriter.
This file will be written into the disk area belonging to the account
which is being used to run the program. The file is expendable, and can
be modified or deleted without altering the program's own record of what
is contained in the resume. The program will stop after the file has
been written. The program can be run again later to revise the resume.
If the program is run after the final version of the resume has been
submitted for inclusion in the resume collection, then the only function
which the program will perform is the production of the file which can
be printed or typed.
After the PAPER command has been issued, the program will ask which of
several formats is desired. The format which is selected should depend
upon the type of terminal or printer which will be used, and whether the
resume collection will itself be typed or typeset. The following words
can be used to specify the desired format. If the PAPER command was
issued by accident, then only the RETURN key should be pressed so as to
cause the "WHAT NEXT?" question to be asked again.
NARROW if the fast printer will be used to check the contents but not
the line lengths of a resume. The resulting file can be printed
on narrow paper. The lines in the resume will each contain up
to 80 characters.
PRINTED if the fast printer will be used to check the contents and the
line lengths of a resume for which the final copy will be typed
on the letter quality typewriter. The resulting file can be
printed on narrow paper if the printer is set to give 12
characters per inch. The lines in the resume will each contain
up to 87 characters. The file can also be typed on the letter
quality typewriter but darkened characters will not be typed as
well as if the TYPED option were used instead.
Obtaining a Paper Copy of The Resume 29
TYPED if the letter quality typewriter will be used to type the
resume. The letter quality typewriter must be set to give 12
characters per inch. The lines in the resume will each contain
up to 87 characters, so the typed resume will 7 and 1/4th inches
wide. The resulting file cannot be printed on the fast printer
since it contains instructions for darkening some characters
which can only be properly handled by the letter quality
typewriter.
TYPESET if the fast printer will be used to check the appearance of a
resume which will be typeset. THIS FORMAT SHOULD NOT BE USED IF
THE RESUME COLLECTION WILL BE TYPED RATHER THAN TYPESET. The
number of characters on each line will depend upon the relative
numbers of narrow versus wide characters. More words will fit
on a line if the words contain few wide characters such as M or
W. The resulting file must be printed on wide paper.
This program will report the name of the file which contains the copy of
the resume. The file will be named RESUME.DOC if the student is using
his or her own account to run this program. However, the file will have
a name consisting of a 6 digit number followed by the suffix .DOC if
this program is being run from an account which is being used by several
students. If the student who is running the program has been assigned a
number and password combination which is used to gain access to the
program, then the 6 digit number will merely be the number which was
used to gain access to the program, but with leading zeros. If the
student who is running the program selected his or her own password,
rather than being assigned one, then the number is based upon the
password. The program will report the name of the file before it halts.
A record should be kept of the file name since it is used to keep each
resume separate from those belonging to the other students.
The word PRINT and the file name can be typed by the student after the
program has exited (i.e., when the computer is prompting with the @
character) to cause the file to be printed on the fast printer. If the
file is named 001234.DOC, then the file would be printed if the student
typed
PRINT 001234.DOC
The following operations must be performed to type the file on the
letter quality typewriter. These instructions are specific for using
the HC program at the Yale School of Management to type a file on the
Diablo 1620 terminal. The procedures will differ elsewhere. The HC
program allows the typing of pages which are separated by form feed
characters in a file onto separate pieces of paper.
1. Log in on the typewriter.
2. Type HC and press the RETURN key. This starts the hard copy
program. The HC program will respond by typing an asterisk.
3. Type the name of the file and then press the RETURN key. The HC
program will complain if it cannot find the file or if it cannot
understand the manner in which the file name was typed. If an
30 RESUME Program Users Guide
error message is typed, then the file name will have to be entered
again. The file is ready to be typed if the HC program does not
type anything in response.
4. Put a clean sheet of paper into the terminal.
5. Adjust the horizontal position of the paper so that the left edge
is flush with the left edge of the platen (the large rubber
cylinder behind the paper). This will give the same wide left
margin as will be used in the resume book. To center the resume
instead, have the left edge of the paper be 5/16 inch to the right
of the left edge of the platen.
6. Adjust the vertical position of the paper so that the top of the
paper is even with the top of the shiny chromed guard plate in
front of the printhead. Turn the knob at the end of the platen 2
clicks so that about 1/6th of an inch of paper shows above the
guard plate.
7. Make sure that the printer bail (the rod with the rubber rollers)
is in its position farthest away from the platen.
8. Press the G key to start the typing. This tells the HC program to
GO. The RETURN key does not have to be pressed.
9. After a few lines have been typed, push the paper bail to its
position holding down the paper. If the bail is pushed down too
early, it will catch on the top of the paper.
10. If the resume is continued onto additional pages, insert another
sheet of paper and press the G key again.
11. When the typing of the resume has finished and if an additional
copy of the resume is needed, then put another piece of paper into
the terminal and press the R key. Do not press the RETURN key.
This tells the HC program to REPEAT the same file.
12. If an additional copy of the resume is not needed, put a scrap
piece of paper into the terminal. If someone else from the same
class is waiting to print a resume, press the E (for END) key to
get the HC program ready to accept another file name. The HC
program will respond by typing just an asterisk.
13. To exit from the program after the last page of the resume has been
typed, press the Z key instead of the E key. If the E key has
already been pressed so that HC has responded by typing an
asterisk, then the control key will have to be held down and the C
key will have to be pressed while the control key is still being
held down.
Changing How Long Sections of Text are Displayed 31
Changing How Long Sections of Text are Displayed on Terminal
-------- --- ---- -------- -- ---- --- --------- -- --------
Long sections of text, for example the various instruction messages and
drafts or proofs of the resume, either can be typed to the terminal
without stopping, or can be parceled out in pages of uniform length with
the typing pausing at the bottom of each page. Continuous display is
appropriate if a terminal which types onto paper is being used. The
student can then just look back at the previous printout to read what
has been printed. Pausing after each page is appropriate to video
terminals on which information, once it has been pushed off the screen,
is lost.
The RESUME program administrator will adjust the program for the type of
terminal being used by most of the students in each class. If a few
students in the class use some other type of terminal then they will
have to individually adjust the program for the type of terminal which
they are using. This will have to be done each time that they run the
program. The program probably should be adjusted for a different type
of terminal if information is being lost when a video terminal is used,
or if the RETURN key must be pressed repeatedly to have the program
continue the typing of long sections of text when a paper output
terminal is used.
The following commands can be typed in response to the "WHAT NEXT?"
question to adjust the program for the type of terminal being used.
These commands can also be typed in response to the initial question
asked by the program about whether general instructions are desired.
However, the existence of these commands is not revealed then unless a
question mark happens to be typed in response to that question.
SLOW if this program is being run from a terminal which types onto
paper. The program will not pause in the middle of long
sections of text. The terminal is expected to be able to
display at least 80 characters per line.
FAST if this program is being run from a video terminal which scrolls
the lines currently being displayed upwards to display the new
lines at the bottom and discards the oldest lines at the top.
The terminal cannot clear the screen when a form feed character
is issued. The program will pause in the middle of long
sections of text whenever the next line would force the first
line on the page off the top of the screen. The RETURN key can
be pressed to tell the program to continue. The screen can
display 24 lines of 80 characters each.
PAGING if this program is being run from a fast video terminal which
can clear the screen when the program issues a form feed
character. The program will scroll short dialogs, but will
clear the screen before typing drafts or proofs of the resume
and before typing lengthy instructions. The program will pause
in the middle of long sections of text whenever the screen
fills. The RETURN key can be pressed to tell the program to
continue. The screen can display 24 lines of 80 characters
each.

The same resume is shown below as it would be displayed on the terminal
when a DRAFT command is issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question.
The lines which do not start with numbers contain section names. The
numbers which appear to the left of most of the lines are the numbers by
which these lines must be identified to be modified. The text in these
lines is identical to that which was typed in by the student except that
lines which were longer than the width of the screen have been broken
into shorter lines by the program.

A PROOF command issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question would
display this resume on the terminal in the form which is shown below.
Bold letters are indicated by pointing to them with circumflexes on an
extra otherwise blank line below them. Underlined letters are similarly
indicated by underlining them on the next line. The indication of bold
letters and underlined letters on the next line is necessary since the
video terminals from which the RESUME program is used cannot directly
display bold letters or underlined letters.
