Using Entry Assist With Other Programs; Preparing Simple Memos Without Using Dcf - IBM 3174 User Manual

Using Entry Assist with Other Programs
You can use selected Individual functions of Entry Assist with many other pro
grams. Such functions include:
• Next Word
• Previous Word
• Cursor Position Indicator
• Word Delete
• Character Delete.
When you use Entry Assist functions with other programs, do not use tab stops,
because tabbing to a tab stop introduces space characters into the data stream and
may change your output.
Preparing Simpie Memos without Using DCF
The DCF program provides very powerful document-formatting functions; however,
DCF may not always be available. Entry Assist makes it possible to create for
matted one-page memos.
Use an editor to format the screen the way you think the memo should look. Use
blank lines for paragraph separators.
Print the file using a utility program. For example, under VM, use the CMS PRINT
command. In other programming environments, use whatever system utilities are
available. If you wish, and if you are a programmer, you can write your own
program to print multipage documents.
