Word Juggler for the Apple II (version 2.7 or greater) differs from the older
versions in two primary ways; by the elimination of the hardware modification
and the addition of a number of enhancements to the program. The following
list is a summary of all of the changes.
Enhancements to the program
New HELP feature
While editing a document, Open-Apple "?" will display a list of topics that,
when selected, explain the various features of Word Juggler. Note that this
replaces the old HELP command key (CONTROL V).
40 / 80 column support
Word Juggler for the Apple II will work in 40 columns on both the Apple IIe
and the Apple IIc. When used on the Apple IIe, Word Juggler will use the 80
column card in the auxiliary slot if it is available. When used on the Apple
IIc, Word Juggler checks the 40/80 column switch when the program is booted,
and then reacts accordingly.
When used in the 40 column mode, Word Juggler changes in a few minor ways:
o The main menu changes slightly.
o The file name does not appear on the status line.
Main menu changes
o Purge is now Delete.
o Define Prefix is now Prefix.
Printer cards
o When used on the Apple IIc, the printer card is permanently set to Super
Serial to accommodate the two ports on the Apple IIc.
o When used on the Apple IIc, the printer card must be used in Slot 1 or
2.
MOVE and COPY commands
Word Juggler now allows you to use the FIND and ^ FIND commands when prompted
to "Move cursor to start (or end ) of block and press space", in addition to
the normal cursor movement keys.
FIND and ^ FIND commands
Hitting RETURN when prompted with "Find what?" will find the next occurrence
of the string that was last searched for.
Titles and Page variables
The TEXT LINE/COL command now allows greater flexibility in choosing where on
the page a title or page number can appear. In addition to specifying the
absolute column number, titles or page numbers may appear on the left or right
margin, centered between the margins, or alternating between the margins
(which is useful when printing manuals)
Changes in the keystrokes
Because there is no keyboard enhancer included with Word Juggler version 2.7,
some of the keystrokes had to be altered.
o The Open Apple key is used to access the editing commands
(instead of the CONTROL key used in the older versions).
o The "overstrike" feature is no longer available.
Cursor Movement
Used to be: Now is:
o Previous Page SHIFT Up-Arrow Open-Apple Up-Arrow
Previous Word SHIFT Left-Arrow Open-Apple Left-Arrow
Next Word SHIFT Right-Arrow Open-Apple Right-Arrow
Next Page SHIFT Down-Arrow Open-Apple Down-Arrow
o Beginning of Document CONTROL SHIFT Up-Arrow Open-Apple E
Beginning of Line CONTROL SHIFT Left-Arrow Open-Apple S
End of Line CONTROL SHIFT Right-Arrow Open-Apple D
End of Document CONTROL SHIFT Down-Arrow Open-Apple X
o Straight Up CONTROL Up-Arrow Open-Apple CONTROL E
Straight Left CONTROL Left-Arrow Open-Apple CONTROL S
Straight Right CONTROL Right-Arrow Open-Apple CONTROL D
Straight Down CONTROL Down-Arrow Open-Apple CONTROL X
o Start of next line CONTROL RETURN Open-Apple RETURN
o Tab Set (and Clear) SHIFT (and CONTROL) TAB Open-Apple TAB
o Tab Inserting Spaces SHIFT CONTROL TAB Open-Apple Space
Printout Formatting Commands
The following commands not labeled on the command strip are now different:
Used to be: Now is:
o Else ESCAPE CONTROL = ESCAPE E
o 15 Pitch ESCAPE CONTROL 4 ESCAPE F
o Ragged Left ESCAPE CONTROL 2 ESCAPE R
o Triple Space ESCAPE CONTROL 7 ESCAPE T
Margin Settings
Both the Top Margin and the Left Margin commands are now counted from "0"
instead of "1".
Printout Enhancement Commands and Special Functions
Printout enhancements (such as bold and underline) and special functions (such
as Lexicheck and Terminus) are now accessed with the Solid-Apple key instead
of the Open-Apple key. Additionally, Print Form has changed from Open-Apple
"." to Solid-Apple "2".
Variables are also entered with the Solid-Apple key.
Using Word Juggler with the Keyboard Enhancer
If you have a keyboard enhancer already installed and prefer to use the old
commands, simply create a document called "OLD.COMMANDS" on the Word Juggler
diskette and reboot. (It doesn't matter what is in this document, it just
needs to be on the diskette.) This will allow Word Juggler to function almost
the same as the earlier versions, while still having access to all of the
program enhancements.
The functions that will behave differently are:
o Help will still be accessed as Open-Apple "?".
o Margins are still counted from "0" instead of from "1".
o Print Form will change from Open-Apple "." to Open-Apple "2".
New features of Word Juggler 2.8
o Print to Disk option - Allows incorporation of Word Juggler files with
other program applications including terminal communications while retaining
the original format of the document. This feature may be accessed by pressing
Closed-Apple "9".
o Built in Terminal Program - A scaled down telecommunication package based
on Quark's TERMINUS program. This option is able to transmit and receive
documents with as much ease as you would expect from a true telecommunications
product. It will not, however, support any of TERMINUS' advanced transmission
modes such as binary or compressed options.
The package allows you to define 4 Protocols, as opposed to Terminus' 16
Protocols. Furthermore, the Protocols support only two macros each, (the
autodial and logon macros) while Terminus' Protocols can support up to 28
user-definable macros each.
