Radix User's Manual
Storing documents with function codes
When you create combinations of function codes you like,
store them as skeleton documents. To access the documents later,
go to the Main Menu and use the copy document function (CO) to
duplicate the skeleton document. Then rename the new docu-
ment. This will save you time and reduce your chance of entering
incorrect codes.
Using Radix with WordStar
(Note: If you have not read the "General Concepts" section at the
beginning of this chapter, you should do so before continuing.)
Radix supports many of the standard WordStar printing capa-
bilities without requiring any changes. You can:
1. Print documents from the No-File Menu.
2. Use the dot commands except for lines per inch, characters per
inch and microjustification.
3. Print boldface, underline, double-strike, strikeout, superscript
and subscript characters as well as use print pause.
4. Select and print variable information for merge letters, etc.

print commands
There are several CONTROL-P (^P) commands that automati-
cally work with Radix and require no changes. They include:
"PS Underscore
"PB Boldface
'PD Double-strike
"PX Strikeout
"PT Superscript
'PV Subscript
"PC Print Pause
It is also possible to define the "PA (alternate pitch) command
to change the print pitch of your document. The WordStar User's
Manual fully describes the use of these "P functions. You should
refer to your manual if you need help with them.
-
There are four alternative "P codes that can be defined during
the installation of your WordStar program to perform other
printer functions. They are 'PQ, "PW, "PE, and "PR. The process
of defining "P commands is called "patching" and is a fairly com-
plicated process. Once you have successfully defined these codes,
they are inserted in your text exactly like the other "P commands.
If you wish to use them, refer to the WordStar User's Manual for
instructions or contact your dealer for assistance.
