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

.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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 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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE GOING TO THE COMPUTER

---- ------ -- ---- ------ ----- -- --- --------
.skip
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.
.skip.test page
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.
.skip
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -3
1.##Put an asterisk in each line which is to be blank in the resume.
.skip.test page 3.indent -3
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -3
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -3
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -3
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -3
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -3
7.##When the text is typed into the computer, discard leading spaces
and all but 1 of adjacent spaces.

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.
.skip.test page 3
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.

PASSWORDS USED TO RUN PROGRAM FROM SHARED ACCOUNTS
.CENTER
--------- ---- -- --- ------- ---- ------ --------
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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 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".
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.

.center
ENTERING THE STUDENT'S NAME AND ADDRESS
.center
-------- --- --------- ---- --- -------
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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 are supplied, then the second address will appear to the
right of the first although the student will type it separately.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.

If the student later issues a DRAFT command in response to the "WHAT

as shown below. The "WHAT NEXT?" question is asked after the name,
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.

A PROOF command issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question would
cause the name and address section to be displayed as shown below.
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
.center
---------- --- --------- -------
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 7
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.

.SKIP.FILL.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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 section later even if the student tells
the program that yes, the section has been completed.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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

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.

In addition to the characters which would normally appear in the words

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

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.
.skip.test page 3
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.

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.
.skip.test page 3
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

.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 5
As an example of the use of these special characters, the following
lines of text in the resume
.skip
.nofill.test page 2
1975-1976*_^Sixth _^Universal _^Bank New York, New York
*Promoted from __Janitor to __Vice __President
.skip
.fill.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 5
For example, the following lines of text
.skip.nofill.test page 3
1978*_^Little _^Bank _^and _^Trust _^Company**New York
*__Teller
*Responsible for the handling of many cents each day
.skip.fill
would produce the following lines in the resume.
.skip.nofill.test page 3
1978 Little Bank and Trust Company New York
^&Teller\&

.skip.fill
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.
.skip.test page 8
The example shown earlier would be displayed on the terminal in the
following manner:

(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 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.)

.CENTER
THE "WHAT NEXT?" QUESTION
.center
--- ---- ----- --------
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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 change the name of the section. A section name can consist of just
one word or of several words.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 6
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

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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
APPEND##and a section name to append several new lines to the end of

.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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 of the resume.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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

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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3
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:
.nofill.skip.test page 5
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 _|
.fill
.skip.test page 3
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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 instead to display the original contents of the lines in the resume
or in a section of the resume.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
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
.center
---------- ------
.skip
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.
.skip
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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 matched.
.skip.test page 3
The EDIT command can be used to perform any of the following operations.
.left margin 5
.skip.test page 3.indent -4
1.##Deletion of an item.

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.
.skip.test page 6
The commands which can be issued in response to the "EDIT HOW?"
question are listed below.
.LEFT MARGIN 8
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
DELETE##to delete the item just found.
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
LOWER###to convert all of the alphabetic letters in the word or phrase
to lower case or small letters.
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
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".
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
NEXT####to search for the next appearance of the same item further
to the right in the line.
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
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.
.skip
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.
.skip.test page 3.indent -8
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

command could also be used to replace the combined words by the same
words with the correct spacing.

.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.

instead.
.SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8
TYPED###if the letter quality typewriter will be used to type 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.

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

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.
.skip.test page 3
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.
.skip.test page 3
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.

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.
