3 Configuration

3.1 SETUP

Your WP-2 Portable Word Processor is versatile and easy-to-use. You can use it at home, school, or take it with you when you travel. Setup is as simple as unpacking the box, installing the batteries, turning it on, and running a simple setup program.

1. Use the point of a pencil to turn on the memory protect switch on the right side of the Word Processor. Turn off this switch only when you replace the backup battery. When this switch is turned off, all information stored in the WP-2 is erased.

2. To open the battery compartment, slide off the compartment's cover.

3. Install four AA batteries, observing the polarity (+ and -) symbols marked inside the compartment. For longer battery life and optimum performance, we recommend alkaline or nickel-cadmium batteries.

NOTE: You can connect the WP-2 to a standard AC outlet by using an AC adapter rated at 6V DC, 400 mA.

4. Replace the battery compartment cover.

5. If you would like the WP-2 to sit at an angle, lower the two legs on the bottom of the unit.

6. Press the POWER button.

7. Adjust the CONTRAST dial until the following message is clearly displayed:

New File Name:

8. A small blinking block called a cursor appears to the right of this message. Type a temporary filename with a maximum of eight characters. (The cursor moves to the right as you type.) Then press [ENTER]. The Status display appears, showing the format line with margins and tab settings, the current cursor position (line and column), the amount of available memory, and the document name.

9. Press any key and the Status display disappears.

3.2 RUNNING SETUP

The first time you start up the WP-2, you need to urn the built-in Setup program before you begin word processing. The System selection in the Setup program tells the WP-2 what kind of batteries you are using, whether you want the automatic spell checker turned on or off, and how much time to wait before automatic power off. Use Setup any time you want to change the current settings.

1. With the WP-2 turned on, press the key sequence [F2]-[-] to start Setup.
The Setup menu appears.

2. Select the System option. See the "Tasks and Topics" section for information on the Telcom and Print options.

3. The cursor is now in the answer area of the first prompt, Auto power off (min). When the WP-2 is not in use for a selected period of time, it turns off automatically. The preset (default) number of minutes the WP-2 waits before turning itself off is 10. To change this time, simply
type a number representing minutes between 0 and 255. To turn off the automatic power off feature, enter the number 0. Press [ENTER] only if you change the default setting.

4. Use [down arrow] to move the cursor to the Auto spell check answer area.

5. If you want the WP-2 to buzz each time you type a word it does not recognize, use the [left arrow] to highlight YES. Otherwise highlight NO.

6. Press [down arrow] to move the cursor the Battery type answer area.

7. Use the arrow keys to highlight either Alkaline or Ni-Cd. Select Alkaline if you are using anything other than nickel-cadmium batteries.

8. When all the answers are the way you want them, press [ENTER].

The screen clears, and you are now ready to begin word processing!

3.3 USING THE KEYBOARD

If you have ever used a typewriter, the keyboard on your Wordprocessor is already familiar to you. In addition to standard typewriter keys, however, you will find cursor keys and function keys. These special keys make it easy for the WP-2 to perform complicated tasks with only a little effort on your part.

5.1 USING THE CURSOR CONTROL KEYS

The arrow keys on the lower right edge of the keyboard are cursor control keys. With these keys, you can move the cursor one position in any direction. Press and hold an arrow key to repeat the movement of the cursor in the direction of that particular arrow.

5.2 USING THE FUNCTION KEYS

Notice the chart located directly above the keyboard. The chart has two lines showing special functions for the [F1] and [F2] keys. The first line contains the functions associated with the [F1] function key. The second line contains the functions associated with the [F2] function key. The function keys are located to the left of the space bar.

To select a function, press and hold the appropriate function key and, at the same time, press the key directly below the desired function, as indicated by the chart above the keyboard. For example, the key sequence [F1]-[1] accesses the Help function.

5.3 SELECTING A MENU OPTION

Several of the functions cause a menu to appear on the screen. A menu show a list of options. You can select an option in one of two ways. You can press the [up arrow] or [down arrow] keys (located at the bottom right or your keyboard) to move the highlight bar over the desired option, and then press [ENTER]. Or, you can press the key sequence listed on the screen to the left of the option you choose.

5.4 TYPEWRITER KEYS

The WP-2's typewriter keys can be repeated automatically by simply pressing and holding any of these keys. You can also use this repeating capability with the [TAB], [DEL/BKSP], and [ENTER] keys.

Some of the less familiar keys on the WP-2 are:

* [Esc.Cncl] (Escape/Cancel). Cancels the operation currently selected by a function key and returns you to the text screen.

* [Ctrl] (Control). Combines with the arrow keys to move the cursor rapidly to the beginning or end of a line, or to the top or bottom of a document. Press and hold the [Ctrl] key, and then, at the same time, press the appropriate key.

* [Del/Bksp] (Delete/Backspace). Erases the character immediately preceding the cursor.

* [ENTER]. (Enter). Functions like the [Return] key on most typewriters. Also use to enter some of your function key selections.

* [Caps Lock]. Capitalizes all letters A through Z. This key acts like a toggle switch--press it once to capitalize letters, then press it again to return to normal typing mode.

5.5 MORE ABOUT CURSOR CONTROL KEYS

To move the cursor quickly to a specific position, use the arrow keys in combination with other keys as described below:

* [Shift]-[up arrow]. Moves to the top of the current screen. If the cursor is already at the top of a screen, the preceding screen is displayed.

* [Shift]-[down arrow]. Moves to the bottom of the current screen. If the cursor is already at the bottom of a screen, the next screen is displayed.

* [Shift]-[right arrow]. Moves to the next word following the current cursor position.

* [Shift]-[left arrow]. Moves to the word immediately preceding the current cursor position.

* [Ctrl]-[up arrow]. Moves to the top of the document.

* [Ctrl]-[down arrow]. Moves to the bottom of the document.

* [Ctrl]-[right arrow]. Moves to the end of a line.

* [Ctrl]-[left arrow]. Moves to the beginning of a line.

* [F1]-[up arrow]. Moves to the top of the current page. If the cursor is already at the top of a page, it moves to the top of the preceding page. (If a document has not been paginated, the cursor moves to the top of the document.)

* [F1]-[down arrow]. Moves to the bottom of the current page. If the cursor is already at the bottom of a page, it moves to the bottom of the next page. (If a document has not be paginated, the cursor moves to the bottom of the document.)

There is a label on the bottom of your WP-2 that you can use as a quick reference for these cursor control keys.

5.6 MORE ABOUT FUNCTION KEYS

Listed below are four special functions that can be performed by using either [F1] or [F2] in combination with other keys:

* [Ctrl]-[F2]-[Bksp]. Resets the Wordprocessor. Pressing this key combination erases everything stored in the WP-2's memory, except the information stored on a RAM (random access memory) disk.

NOTE: Do not press this key combination without first saving your files to diskette, cassette tape, or RAM memory card. See the "File Issues" section for details.

* [F1]-[Caps Lock]. Enters the graphics character mode. The cursor blinks twice as fast when the WP-2 is in this mode. Press this key combination again to return to normal typing mode.

If you need to type graphics characters, refer to the chart below to see what graphics characters are available to you.

Press [F1]-[Caps Lock] to access the character shown in the lower, left corner of a key. To access the character shown in the upper, left corner of a key, first press [F1]-[Caps Lock]. Then press and hold the [Shift] key while you press the key for the character that you want.

* [F2]-[Caps Lock]. Enters the code character mode. The cursor blinks four times as fast when the WP-2 is in this mode. Press this key combination again to return to normal typing mode.

If you need to type special symbols or international characters, refer to the chart above to see what symbols and characters are available to you.
Press [F2]-[Caps Lock] to access the character shown in the lower, right corner of a key. To access the character shown in the upper, right corner of a key, first press [F2]-[Caps Lock]. Then, press and hold the [Shift] key while you press the key for the character you want.

NOTE: Be sure that your printer supports graphics characters, special symbols, or international characters before you try to print them.

* [F2]-[-]. Enters the setup menu mode. This is an example of a key combination that performs a function quickly and easily without using a menu. This type of key sequence is called an accelerator.

5.7 MORE ABOUT SELECTING FUNCTIONS AND MENU OPTIONS

Some functions begin automatically when a particular function is selected, like the Status function ([F2]-[1])--it indicates the current format line (including tabs and margins), cursor position, document name, and the amount of available memory.

Other functions ask you to type in responses to certain prompts. For instance, the Replace function [F2]-[2] asks you for the String to be found: and the String to replace with:. A string is simply a series of typed-in characters, and can contain a maximum of 19 characters. If can be one word or a series of words.

Finally, some functions provide a menu (a list of options) from which you can select. You can move through a menu with the arrow keys and select a highlighted option by press [ENTER]. Some menus include accelerators. For example, the key sequence [F1]-[1] accesses the Help function. The Help menu appears on the right side of the screen. See "Using the Function Keys" in the "Getting Started" section for more information on using the function keys.

Refer to the "Tasks and Topics" section for detailed information on the functions available in the WP-2.

AUTO PAGE NUMBERS--Lets you select between automatically adding page numbers to your printed document (ON) or not (OFF).

STARTING PAGE NUMBER--Lets you specify a page number to use for numbering the first page of your document or file. For example, if you created a document in two different files, you would want the first page number of the second file to follow the last page number of the first file.

HEADER--Lets you specify information, such as a document title, that prints at the top of every page. In the first line of the Header option, choose the position where you want the header to print on a page; top, center of the page (C), top, right corner of the page (R), or top, left corner of the page (L), or select no header (N) to delete a header.

In the second line of the Header option, type in the text for the header and press [ENTER].

FOOTER--Lets you specify information, such as a section title, that prints at the bottom of every page.

NOTE: If you want your footer to be a page number, select ON for the Auto Page Numbers option instead of specifying footer text.

In the first line of the Footer option, choose the position where you want the footer to print on a page; bottom center of the page (C), bottom right corner of the page (R), or bottom left corner of the page (L). To delete a footer, select (N).

In the second line of the Footer option, type in the text for the footer, then, press [ENTER].

PAUSE BETWEEN PAGES--Lets the printer pause between pages. If you are not using continuous form paper, select YES so that you can insert a clean sheet of paper in the printer after each page prints. By selecting NO, the printer will continue printing the entire document.

TOP MARGIN IN LINES--Lets you specify the number of blank lines you want at the top of a page.

BOTTOM MARGIN IN LINES--Lets you specify the number of blank lines you want at the bottom of a page.

LEFT MARGIN--Lets you specify the number of blank spaces you want at the left edge of a page.

CHARACTERS PER LINE--Lets you specify the maximum number of characters (including spaces) you want to print on one line.

For example, if you will be printing on a standard 8 1/2" wide paper in a ten characters per inch font (such as Courier), the total line length is 85 characters (8 1/2 times 10). If you set a left margin of one inch (10 spaces) and you want a right margin of one inch (10 spaces), subtract the total of the left and right margins (20 spaces) from the total line length (85 minus 20). A difference of 65 spaces (or 6 1/2 inches) is the maximum number of characters per line does not total more than the width of your paper (total line length).

PAGE LENGTH IN LINES--Lets you specify the maximum number of lines on a page. For standard 11" long paper contains 66 lines (6 lines per inch).

6.32 LEFT MARGIN

To adjust the setting for the left margin of your document, see "Left Margin" in the "Layout" section.

To temporarily indent text at the left margin, see "Indent Text."

6.33 LINE WIDTH

To adjust the setting for the maximum number of characters you want on each line, see "Characters per line" in the "Layout" section.

When you indent text on the left and/or right side of your document, the line width must be adjusted accordingly. See "Indent Text."

6.39 PAGE NUMBERS

To automatically number the pages of your document when it is printed, see "Auto page numbers" in the "Layout" section.

6.40 PAGINATE

To determine how much of your text prints on a page, see the "Layout" section. The setting for Page length in lines indicates the length of your paper. When you paginate a document, the WP-2 takes this page length and subtracts the number of lines specified for the top and bottom margins. The remainder indicates the number of lines that can print on a page.

To paginate your document, press [F2]-[P]. Page break displays appear on the screen. Each page break includes the page number of the page that precedes it. All pages created with the New Page function automatically renumber as needed.

6.41 PASTE

If selected text has been stored in the temp.inv file by the Cut or Copy function (see "Cut" or "Copy"), you can use the Paste function to paste the text in place within your document or within another document.

1. Use the Cut or Copy function to store selected text.

2. Move the cursor to the position in your document where you want this text to appear.

NOTE: You can paste the selected text in more than one location because the text remains in the buffer until you copy another portion of text, or until you delete the temp.inv file.

6.42 REINSERT DELETED TEXT

To reinsert text that you just deleted, see "Cut."

6.43 REPLACE

You can replace characters by using standard editing procedures. See "Ins/Ovr," "Cut,", and "Paste" for other editing methods.

However, if you want the WP-2 to find a certain word or phrase and replace it with another word or phrase, use the Replace function.

NOTE: If the Replace function finds a text string that has been designated as boldfaced or underlined text, the replacement text will also be boldfaced or underlined.

1. Move the cursor to the location where you want the WP-2 to start replacing text.

2. Press [F2]-[2]. Two prompts appear at the bottom of the screen.

3. At the prompt String to be found: type the word, phrase, or sequence of characters you want to find and replace, up to 19 characters (including spaces).

4. At the prompt String to replace with: type the word, phrase, or sequence of characters you want to use as the replacement text, up to 19 characters (including spaces).

5. Press [ENTER] to begin the Replace function.

Upper- and lowercase distinctions are sometimes ignored when searching for a text string. For example, if you search for the word company (typed in all lowercase letters), the Replace function locates occurrences of COMPANY, Company, or company. Replacement text, however, appears exactly as you typed it. On the other hand, if you type the string to be found with initial capital letters or in all uppercase letters, the WP-2 searches only for exact duplicates of the string as you typed it.

If the search is successful, the specified text string is highlighted within the document where it was found. Then the prompt Replace this string? (Yes/No) appears on the screen. If you want to replace this occurrence of the text string, press [Y]. If you want to skip to the next occurrence, press [N]. If you want to replace all occurrences of this text string, press [A]. Or, press [Cncl] to stop the operation.

If the Replace function can not locate the specified text string, the message Not found appears at the bottom of the screen. Press [Cncl] to remove this message from the screen.

6.44 RIGHT MARGIN

7 Gestion de fichiers

After creating a document, you can save (transfer and store) date by using the Files function. You can save the data from the WP-2's memory to a diskette, a RAM memory card, or a cassette tape. Each new document is stored in a file, and each document title is a file name.

The Files function can also be used to load a document, stored in one of the other data sources, back into the WP-2's memory.

You access the Files menu by pressing [F2]-[=]. The menu lists the various data sources that can be used with the WP-2. Simply highlight the name of the data source that you will be using.

You can store data in the WP-2's memory, but because there is limited memory space available, we recommend using at least one more data source with you WP-2. You can use cassette tapes to record data by connecting a cassette recorder to your WP-2. You can use diskette to store data by connecting your WP-2 to a disk drive. You can also increase memory space by installing a memory card in your WP-2.

For more information about using another data source with your WP-2 and making the necessary connections or installations, refer to the owner's manual of the data source device that you will be using.

You can transmit and receive data from other computers over the telephone lines. For more information, see the "Telcom Issues" section.

If you need on-screen help, press [F1]-[1] to use the Help function.

Read this section to find additional information on the Files function and all of its different features.

7.1 ASCII FORMAT

ASCII is an abbreviation for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. This standard defines the binary code many computers use to represent characters, numbers, and symbols.

The WP-2 does not store documents in an ASCII format. To use a document on a Tandy portable computer, convert it to ASCII before saving it to diskette. (See "Copy a Document.") Or, if you want to send a file to other computers using the Telcom function, you must likewise convert the file to ASCII. (See the "Telcom Issues" section for details.)

NOTE: ASCII does not include wordprocessing codes, such as boldface, underline, headers, footers, and so on. If you convert a document to ASCII, the WP-2 removes these codes and all page setup parameters, and does not restore them when you convert the file back into a non-ASCII format.

To convert a document to ASCII format:

1. Press [F2]-[=]. The Files menu appears.

2. Press [F1]-[A]. The prompt Are you sure (Yes/No) appears.

3. To convert the document to ASCII, press [Y]. If you decide not to convert that file to ASCII, press [N] to return to the Files menu.

After converting a file to ASCII, the WP-2 returns to the Files menu. Press [ENTER] to see the list of files stored in memory. The file name of the document you converted to ASCII has the extension ".DA", instead of ".DO" which denotes a document file. You can now save this ASCII file to diskette for use on a Tandy portable computer (see "Files Function") or transfer it to another computer using the Telcom function (see the "Telcom Issues" section.)

NOTE: To change the ASCII file back to a document file, at the Files menu press [Cncl]. This returns you to the text of the document file.

Going directly into the text of an ASCII file automatically converts it back to a non-ASCII format.

4. If you do not want to convert your ASCII file back to non-ASCII format, highlight another file name in the Files menu and press [ENTER] to open that file. Or, with MEMORY highlighted in the Files menu, open a new file by pressing [F1]-[N]. (See "Open a New File.")

7.2 COPY A DOCUMENT

To copy a document from one device (such as the WP-2's memory) to another (such as diskette), use the Copy function. To copy from cassette tape to the WP-2's memory, see "Copy from Tape to Memory." Be sure to properly connect the data device that you want to use.

If you want to change the file name of your document as it copies to the target device, type the new name next to the New File Name: prompt.
Then, press [ENTER].

6. If the target device contains a file with the same name, the WP-2 prompts FILE EXISTS--Overwrite? (Yes/No). To overwrite the existing file with the file you are copying, press [Y]. When the Copy function completes, the WP-2 returns to the Files menu.

If you do not want to overwrite the existing file with the file you are trying to copy, press [N]. You can rename the file stored on the target device (see "Rename a Document") or change the name of the document you are trying to copy, as indicated in Step 5.

NOTE: The FILE EXISTS prompt does not appear when the target source is TAPE.

If you do not connect the target device to your WP-2, the message I/O Error appears, except when the target device is TAPE. If you select TAPE but do not connect a cassette recorder, the Wordprocessor functions as though it is copying the file (displaying Working). The WP-2 does not respond to any keys until it finishes this copying process.

7.3 COPY ALL DOCUMENTS

You can use the Copy function to copy all documents in one data source to another device. Be sure to connect the data device to the WP-2.

2. Highlight TAPE. Then, press [F1]-[C].

3. At the Enter Name of Tape File: prompt, type in the name of the file that you want to copy. Then, press [ENTER].

NOTE: If you do not remember the name of the file you want to copy, simply press [ENTER] and the first file that the WP-2 finds on the tape will be copied.

4. If you entered a name in Step 3, the New File Name: prompt is followed by that name. If you want to use the same file name when the file is transferred to the WP-2's memory, simply press [ENTER]. If you want to change the file name, or if no file name is displayed, type a new file name and press [ENTER].

The tape begins to play, and the display shows Find xxxx until the WP-2 finds the file that you specified. When that file is found on the tape, it is copied to the WP-2's memory.

When the Copy function is completed, the WP-2 returns to the Files menu.

3. Highlight the document file that you want to delete. Then, press [F1]-[D].

4. The prompt Are you sure (Yes/No) appears on the screen. To delete the selected file, press [Y]. The WP-2 returns to the list of files, but excludes the file that you just deleted.

If you decide not to delete the selected file, press [N].

To delete the temp.inv without storing new text into this file, simply perform the Copy function ([F1]-[0]) without selecting any text. The message Do you really want to clear cut & copy buffer? (Yes/No) appears. Press [Y] to clear the buffer or [N] to leave it as is.

7.6 FILES FUNCTION

After creating a document, you might want to save it for future reference.
Use the Files function to save (transferring and storing) documents to other data devices (such as diskette or tape). You can also use the Files function to load a document, stored in another data device, back into the WP-2's memory. Each new document you save will be stored in a file, and each document title will be called a file name.

1. Be sure to properly connect the data device to the WP-2. (Refer to that device's owners manual for instructions on this type of connection.)

Press [F2]-[=]. The Files menu appears, listing the various data devices that you can use with the Files function. These data devices include the WP-2's memory, a RAM disk (optional internal 32K RAM chip), a memory card, a diskette (disk drive), and tape (cassette recorder).

NOTES:

* Your WP-2 has a limited memory capacity, so you might want to add at least one extra data device for additional storage space. (If you do not connect or install an extra data source device, you can only use the WP-2's memory to store data.) For more information about these options, refer to the section, "A Practical Guide."

* If you use a memory card or a diskette, you must format these data sources before you save a file to them. See "Format a Data Device" for details. (You do not need to format a RAM disk, but to clear all the files on the disk quickly, follow the procedure for formatting a data device.)

1. Highlight the name of the desired data device. Then, press [ENTER].

The files contained in that data device are listed on the screen. The number of characters free (available space on that device) is displayed in the lower right corner. (If you select TAPE, the number of characters free is not shown.)

NOTE: If you want on-screen help, press [F1]-[1]. The Help menu displays all of the options available in the Files function. If you decide not to select an option through the Help menu, simply press [Cncl] to return to the Files menu.

For brief information about connecting optional devices, such as a cassette recorder or a disk drive, see "Adding Options" in the section "A Practical Guide." To save the user's dictionary file from the WP-2's dictionary memory to a storage device:

1. Press [F2]-[=]. The Files menu appears.

2. Highlight MEMORY. Press [F1]-[W].

3. At the FILE NAME: prompt, type in the name for your user's dictionary.
Press [ENTER]. The user's dictionary is saved to the WP-2's memory.

The WP-2 returns to the Files menu. Press [ENTER]. A list of the files contained in memory is displayed.

5. To copy the user's dictionary file to another device, highlight the file name of the user's dictionary that you want to copy. Then, press [F1]-[C]. A list of all the devices is displayed.

6. To select the target device (the device to which you want to copy the document), highlight the name of the desired device. Then, press [ENTER]. The prompt New File Name: and the current name of the file appear.

7. If you do not want to change the name of the file, simply press [ENTER].

If you want to change the name of your user's dictionary as it appears on the target device, simply type in the new name next to the New File Name: prompt. Then, press [ENTER].

If the target device contains a file with the same name, the WP-2 prompts FILE EXISTS Overwrite? (Yes/No). To overwrite the existing file with the file with the file you are trying to copy, press [Y]. When the Copy function completes, the WP-2 returns to the Files menu.

If you do not want to overwrite the existing file with the file you are copying, press [N]. You can rename the file stored on the target device (see "Rename a Document") or change the name of the user's dictionary file you are copying, as indicated in Step 7.

NOTE: The FILE EXISTS prompt does not appear when the target device is TAPE.

If you type documents related to a variety or topics, you might want to prepare more than one user's dictionary. For example, some documents you write might pertain to business matters, some could be letters to your children, and others could be science fiction stories that you write for fun. It could be helpful to have a user's dictionary devoted specifically to each topic. Then, you could load the most relevant user's dictionary as your working dictionary when you work on a particular document.

If you decide to use more than one user's dictionary, for quick reference, give each user's dictionary an name that is easy to recognize.

To load a user's dictionary from another device, see "Load a User's Dictionary File."

7.18 STORE THE DOCUMENT ON THE SCREEN AND OPEN A NEW FILE

If you want to store the document you are currently working on and create a new file, see "Open a New File."

7.19 SWAP THE DISPLAYED DOCUMENT AND IN EXISTING DOCUMENT

1. Press [F2]-[=]. The Files menu appears.

2. Highlight the name of the data source that contains the file you want to view. Then, press [ENTER]. A list of the files contained in that data device is displayed.

NOTE: You can not view files stored on cassette tape.

3. Highlight the file name of the document you want to view. Then, press [F1]-[V].

4. The first seven lines of the document appear on the screen. If the file is longer than seven lines, the word MORE appears at the bottom of the screen. Press [ENTER] to view the next seven lines. Continue this process to view the entire document.

Press [Cncl] or [ENTER] when you have finished viewing the document. The WP-2 returns to the Files menu.

8 Calendrier

The Calendar function lets you create, sort, update, and store a list of events and special occasions.

You can store all of your engagements on a single list, or create individualized lists, such as business appointments or social events.

Each time you create a new list of events, mycal.do is the filename automatically assigned to the list. However, you can easily rename each list of events. (See "Rename a List of Events.") For quicker reference, be sure to select a filename that you will easily recognize.

When you perform the Calendar function, the list of events entitled "mycal.do" is the only file you can load. If you want to access other lists of events, use the Files function. (See "Rename a List of Events" for details.)

In this section, you can find additional information on using the Calendar function.

8.1 ADD AN EVENT TO AN EXISTING LIST OF EVENTS

Move the cursor to the last item in the list of events. Then, follow the instructions in "Calendar."

8.2 CALENDAR

The Calendar function allows you to keep track of your busy schedule.

1. Press [F2]-[0]. The Calendar screen appears. There are three headings (MO/DD/YY for the date, HH:MI for the time, and COMMENT for whatever information you choose to include about a given date and time), as well as status information (current cursor position, the amount of available memory in the WP-2, and the document name).

Notice that the document is automatically assigned the name "mycal.do." Press any key to remove the headings and the status information from the screen.

2. Type a date that you want to remember. Be sure to use the mm/dd/yy format (two digits for the month, two for the day, and two for the year). For example, the date "April 3, 1990," would be 04/03/90.

NOTE: You can organize your list of events in chronological order (the order of occurrence) by using the Sort function. See "Sort" for more information.

3. Press [:]. Then, press the space bar. If you want your columns to line up, you can press [Tab] to move to the next column. Depending on the tab settings, you might have to press [Tab] more than once to get to the desired tab position. To change settings, see "Format."

4. The first thing you must do when typing the time is to indicate a.m. or p.m. Type a for morning (a.m.) or p for afternoon/evening (p.m.). Then, without pressing the space bar, type the time. Be sure to use the hh:mm format (two digits for the hour and two digits for the minute). For example, the time "7:30 p.m." would be p07:30.

5. Press [:]. Then, press the space bar or press [Tab] to move to the next column.

6. This third column can be used to list any extra information you want about each event. After you type the appropriate information, press [ENTER]. The cursor goes to the beginning of the next line where you can type the next date.

NOTE: Limit the information about each event to one line.

7. Press [F2]-[Bksp] to exit the list. The WP-2 returns to the text of the document you were in prior to initiating the Calendar function.

You can keep all of you scheduled activities and special occasions in one list, but you might find it helpful to have some of these events in separate, smaller lists. For example, if there are several events on your main list that are related to one general category, such as social activities, make a new file called "social.do". (To create a new file, see "Open a New File.") Then, copy events. See "Cut" and "Paste" to move events.) The next time you need to check your social calendar, you can simply view this file. (See "View a List of Events.")

NOTE: The filename, mycal.do, is automatically assigned to each new calendar list that you create. However, you can easily rename each list. (See "Rename a List of Events.") For quicker reference, choose a filename that you can easily recognize.

8.3 CHECK THE STATUS OF A FILE

To check the current status of a file, see "Status."

8.4 COPY

NOTE: The highlighted text that was selected to be copied remains in the temp.inv file until you copy or cut another section of text.

If you want to delete the temp.inv file without storing new text, simply perform the Copy function without selecting any text. The message Do you really want to clear cut & copy buffer? (Yes/No) appears. Press [Y] to clear the buffer of [N] to leave it as is.

8.5 CORRECT AN ERROR

Press [Bksp] to erase the character immediately preceding the cursor position. Press and hold this key to repeat the function and delete the text preceding the cursor. The text compresses as characters are deleted.

Press [Shift]-[Bksp] to delete the character at the cursor position. Press and hold this key combination to repeat the function and delete text following the cursor. The text compresses as characters are deleted.

8.6 CUT

You can use Cut to delete selected activities. You can also use it with the Paste function to move selected events to another location.

1. Press [F1]-[9] (Select function) and use the arrow keys to highlight the section of your document that you want to cut.

2. Press [F1]-[-] to perform the Cut function.

The highlighted text disappears and is stored in a temporary file named "temp.inv".

NOTE: The highlighted text that was cut from the document remains in the temp.inv file until you copy or cut another section of text.

If you want to delete the temp.inv file without storing new text, perform the Copy function without selecting any text. The message Do you really want to clear cut & copy buffer? (Yes/No) appears. Press [Y] to clear the buffer or [N] to leave it as is.

If you accidentally delete a section of text by using the Cut function, you can reinsert it by placing the cursor where you want the text to go. Then, press [F1]-[=] to paste the text back in place.

3. Move the highlight bar over the function of your choice and press [ENTER]. Or, simply press the key sequence listed to the left of the desired function to begin that function automatically.

10.15 SETUP FOR TELCOM

If you plan to communicate with a computer that connects directly to your WP-2 by cable, see "Communicate with a Computer Connected by Cable (RS232C)." If you plan to communicate by modem, proceed to "Communicate with Another System by Telephone (Modem)." Both of these topics include their own setup information.

The Telcom Setup function lets you set various parameters so that your WP-2 can communicate with other systems. Be sure to correctly connect the computer system to your WP-2 before proceeding.

1. Press [F2]-[-].

2. Move the highlight bar over Telcom and press [ENTER]. Or, press [F2]-[T].

3. In the Device line, select either RS232C to communicate with a computer connected to your WP-2 by cable, or MODEM to communicate by telephone.

4. In the Baud rate line, select the appropriate rate.

The baud rate indicates how fast to transmit information from one system to another. The higher the baud rate, the faster the transmission. If you use a modem, choose a baud rate that both your modem and the other system can use. If you use a direct cable connection, use any baud rate, as long as the computer you communicate with uses the same rate.
You might not be able to transmit reliably by modem at baud rates exceeding 1200 unless the WP-2 and the other system use flow control.
See Step 6.

5. In the Word length (bits), Parity, and Stop bits lines, make the appropriate choices.

These three items provide technical information that tells the Telcom program how to code and decode information transferred between the WP-2 and another system. Set these parameters so that they are the same as those set by the system with which you communicate.

Most computer systems use one of the following sets of parameters:

* Eight-bit word length, no parity, and one stop bit

* Seven-bit word length, even parity, and one stop bit

6. In the XON/XOFF line, make the appropriate selection.

If you choose to enable (turn on) XON/XOFF control, transmission to the other system stops when that system sends an XOFF code. Transmission resumes when it sends an XON code.

Telcom sends an XOFF code to pause transmission from the other system when information is being received too quickly. Then, when the buffer can receive more input, Telcom sends an XON code to resume transmission.

NOTE: You can use flow control only if the other system uses it, too.

7. In the Printer echo and Duplex lines, make the appropriate choices.

If you want to print a file as you receive it from the other system, select ON at the printer echo option. Select OFF if you do not want to print. You can turn printer echo on ([F1]-[O]) or off ([F1]-[F]) while you are communicating.

If the characters you type appear in duplicate, select "Half." If the characters you type do not appear at all, select "Full."

8. Press [Shift]-[down arrow] to display the next screen of the Setup menu.

9. In the Transfer line, select the appropriate transfer protocol.

To use a special file transfer protocol called Xmodem, select CRC-XMODEM. You can use Xmodem only if the other system uses it, too.

To use the ASCII file transfer protocol, select ASCII. If you want to transfer text files, be sure to convert each file to ASCII first.
Remember, however, that ASCII format can not accept word-processing codes, such as boldface, underline, tabs, and so on. See "ASCII Format" in the "File Issues" section for details on ASCII conversion.

10. In the Incoming CR and Outgoing CR lines, make the appropriate choices.

With these items in the Setup menu, you can determine how Telcom will respond to each carriage return character that it sends or receives.

11. In the Mode line, specify whether your WP-2 will send or receive information. If you are originating a call, as you would when calling an information service, select Originate. If you are receiving a call from another system, select Answer.

12. In the Dial number line, enter the area code and telephone number you want to store in the Setup menu. See "Store a Number in the Setup Menu."

13. In the LogOn sequence line, enter the sequence to automatically log on (connect) to a system. See "Create an Autolog Sequence."

14. Press [Shift]-[down arrow] to display the last screen of the Setup menu.

15. In the Initialize modem, Dial sequence, and Terminate code lines, enter the appropriate code sequences for your modem. Refer to the modem owner's manual for the correct control codes.

16. In the Prefix line, enter the code (usually 9) required to access an outside telephone line. Be sure to type a comma after the access code number to indicate a pause in dialing. (If your modem is directly connected to an outside line, do not enter anything on the Prefix line.)

17. In the Area code line, enter your area code. If the area code of the phone number stored in the Setup menu is the same as yours, the WP-2 does not dial the area code.

18. Check all of the information entered in the Setup menu. To display the previous screen, press [Shift]-[up arrow]. If everything is correct, press [ENTER]. The WP-2 returns to the text screen you were in prior to initiating the Telcom Setup function.

10.16 STORE A NUMBER IN THE SETUP MENU

1. Press [F2]-[-].

2. Select Telcom and press [ENTER]. Or, press [F2]-[T].

3. Press [Shift]-[down arrow] to display the next screen of the Setup menu.

4. In the Dial number line, enter the telephone number you want to store in the Setup menu. Press [ENTER].

The number stored in the Setup menu is automatically dialed when the autolog file is executed.

10.17 TELCOM

The Telcom function lets you communicate with computers, either directly (connected by cable) or by telephone (through a modem). Because your WP-2 has this feature, you can send files to your friends, communicate with various news services, and access electronic bulletin boards. You can also create autolog files that enable you to use an autodial modem to
automatically call and connect to another system.
Before you use the Telcom function, follow the Setup procedure. See "Setup for Telcom" for general information about this procedure, as well as details regarding the communications parameters.

To communicate with a computer that is connected directly to your WP-2 by cable, see "Communicate with a Computer Connected by Cable (RS232C)."

To communicate by modem, see "Communicate with Another System by Telephone (Modem)."

NOTE: The auto power-off feature of the WP-2 is disabled while Telcom function is initialized. To restore this feature, exit Telcom by pressing [F2]-[Bksp].

10.18 TERMINAL MODE

When you use the Telcom ([F2]-[9]) function, the WP-2 is in terminal mode. It is ready to communicate with a computer. When you press a key on the WP-2 keyboard, you send the corresponding ASCII code to the host system.
If you host requires a control code, you can send that code by using [Ctrl] in combination with another key. For example, pressing [Ctrl]-[J] sends the ASCII code 10 (a line feed) to the host. Documentation you get from the host commonly refers to these codes with the symbol ^, such as ^J for the code produced by pressing [Ctrl]-[J].

You can access the function selection menu only in terminal mode. See "Function Selection Menu."

10.19 TRANSFER A FILE

To transfer a file from the WP-2 to a host system, see "Send a File to Another System."

To transfer a file from the host system to your WP-2, see "Receive a File from Another System."

11 Utilisation d'une imprimante

You can print your document using the WP-2's Print function.

First, follow the simple printer setup procedure to set up the page layout. See "Printer Setup" for information.

To activate the Printer function, press [F2]-[5]. To stop the printing at any time, press [Cncl]. If you do not have a continuous-feed printer, you can set up the printer to stop between pages to enable you to remove the printed page and insert a new sheet of paper.

You can also use the printer setup procedure to have the printer format your text in different ways, such as choosing a different font, underlining, or boldfacing. See "Printer Setup" for more information.

Read this section to learn more about the Print function and all of the options available.

11.1 CONNECTING THE PRINTER

You can use any printer with a parallel interface connector. If your printer does not come with a cable to connect it to the WP-2, you can find a connecting cable at your local Radio Shack store.

Turn off all of your equipment before making the connections.

Connect the printer cable to the parallel interface on the WP-2. Because there is only one way that the connector attaches to the WP-2, do not force the connection. If you find it difficult to make the connection, turn the connector over and try again.

Read your printer owner's manual to find out how to get your printer ready to print, and follow those instructions.

11.2 PRINT

After you have performed printer setup (see "Printer Setup") and set up the page layout (see "Layout"), you can press [Cncl] at any time to stop printing.

NOTE: If you selected the option to pause between pages when you set up the page layout, the printer stops at the end of each page. Remove the printed page and insert a clean sheet of paper. Press [ENTER] to print the next page.

If you only want to print a portion of your document, simply highlight the portion of your document that you want to print, then press [F2]-[5].

11.3 PRINTER SETUP

Follow this procedure to prepare your printer for printing documents. This enables you to print boldfaced or underlined text, and to print in a special font, such as italics.

1. Press [F2]-[-]. Highlight Printer , and then press [ENTER]. Or, you can press [F2]-[P]. The Printer Setup menu appears.

2. Are you using a Tandy emulation printer or an IBM emulation printer? If you do not know, refer to your printer owner's manual. In the first line of the menu, identify the type of printer you have by highlighting either Tandy or IBM.

Press [Shift]-[down arrow]. The underline and boldface ON and OFF code display according to the type of printer you selected. Press [down arrow] to move to Other in the menu. Skip to Step 4.

If you are using another type of printer, see Step 3.

3. For printers with other than IBM or Tandy emulation, find the control codes listed in your printer owner's manual. Look up the hexadecimal codes that turn underline and boldface on and off. Type these codes on the appropriate lines in the printer setup menu. At the end of each code, press [ENTER] to move to the next item in the menu.

4. If you want to print selected text in a special font, such as italics, elongated, or double height characters, find the control codes listed in your printer owner's manual. On the Other lines in the menu, type in the appropriate hexadecimal codes that urn those special fonts on and off.
At the end of each code, press [ENTER] to move the cursor to the next item in the menu.

5. The Newline option lets you specify whether to add a line feed after each carriage return. Check your printer's carriage return (CR) setting (DIP switch or front panel switch).

* If you have set your printer to CR=NL (carriage return equals new line), select CR (carriage return) in the printer setup menu.

* If you have set your printer to CR=CR (carriage return equals carriage return), select CR+LF (carriage return plus line feed). If your printer doublespaces or overprints, try changing this setting.

NOTE: The WP-2 remembers this printer setup and refers to it when you print. If you change printers, make changes as necessary.

13 Installation de l'extension 32K

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The manual states that "you can expand the RAM by adding a 32K RAM chip for a total of 54K of internal text memory." This statement is vague and gives the impression that you can create documents as large as 54K in size. In reality, however, the purpose of the 32K RAM chip is for file storage only (referred to as the RAM DISK), and DOES NOT increase working memory. Documents are still limited to the 22K working memory, and can be copied to the 32K RAM DISK chip.


1. If there are any important documents in memory that needs to be saved print out the document or save to tape for future reference. Installing the chip usually requires resetting of the unit.

2. Remove the back plate of the WP-2 and locate socket IS1.

3. Insert the chip matching up the U shaped notch of the chip with that of the socket. The socket is 32 pin and the chip is 28 pin, the circuit board is marked for both a 32 and 28 pin chip, place the chip in the area marked for the 28 pin chip. Some chips may not have a U notch on the chip. Insert these chips to where the lettering on the chip matches the same direction as the lettering of the other chips on the WP-2's circuit board.

4. Replace the back plate of the WP-2.

5. Turn the Memory protect switch on the side to ON.

6. Enter a new filename (enter) (enter)

6. Press "F2 =" for the FILES menu.

7. Highlight RAM DISK from the menu.

8. Press "F1 F" together (this is to format the Ram Disk).

9. Answer Y for yes

The Ram disk is now ready to use.

To copy a document to the Ram disk,

1. Press F2 =
2. Highlight Memory and press enter
3. Select the document to copy
4. Press F1 C to copy ( a second menu will appear)
5. Highlight RAM Disk from the menu and press Enter.

The document is now copied.

If the document does not copy after installing the RAM disk chip, then you will need to reset the WP-2 by using a small tipped pin or paper clip pressed into the small hole on the back of the WP-2 marked RESET. Also, by pressing CTRL-F2-DEL at the same time will also reset the WP-2. Then go through the steps to format the wp-2 again starting with step 5.

NOTE: You cannot retrieve a document from the RAM disk directly for viewing and/or editing, it must be copied back to memory first.

14.4 CASSETTE RECORDER

Increase your storage capability by making copies of your files on cassette tape. The built-in CASSETTE recorder port is located on the back panel. We recommend Radio Shack's CCR-81 cassette recorder (260-1208) which comes with the required cable (260-1207).

14.5 DISK DRIVE

Expand you file storage even more by adding the Tandy Portable Disk Drive 2 (260-3814) and saving your files on diskettes. The drive connects to the RS-232C (serial) port on the rear panel.

14.6 MODEM

Add a modem to your WP-2, and send files to or receive files from other wordprocessors or computers over phone lines.

To connect a modem, us an RS-232 cable with a female nine-pin connector (26-269) and connect it to the WP-2's RS-232C serial port.

Talk to your Radio Shack sales representative about our line of modems.
You can even use a battery-operated modem so that you can carry it everywhere with your WP-2.

14.7 RAM MEMORY CARD

You can expand the WP-2's memory capability by inserting a memory card with 32K of memory (260-3931) into the EXPANSION CARD slot on the side of the unit. You can use it like a diskette or cassette tape to store files.
Then, you can remove the card and store it in a safe place.

14.8 ADDING INTERNAL MEMORY

You can expand the random access memory by adding a 32K RAM chip (260-3932), for a total of 54K or internal text memory. When installing the chip, position it so that the end without the notch is at the end of the socket, as shown in the illustration below. (There should be four
unused position in the socket.)
