It was developed in house by our very own Ivor Spital, and provides facilities to store and retrieve text to cassette or disc, cut and insert lines, re-type lines of text, and display on screen in the 'what you see is what you get' formatDIYNOTES.DOC<br/>It's user-friendly with menu prompts at the top of the screen. There's a panic feature that gets you out to the main menu without loss of data - simply press [ESC] twiceSee Amstrad Computer User, then the small [ENTER] key on the Numeric Keypad to return to the menu. The program does not feature a full screen editorOctober/November 1984, but uses the same facilities as the BASIC line editor. Each line is numbered, and the menu functions manipulate text by use of this index numberpage 42 for more details.<br/><br/>NOTES:RUN"DIYTYPE"<br/>1[[image:acu8410diytype1. Don't use double quote marks when the document is to be stored onto TAPE or DISC.

If you are using an EPSON compatible printer with features such as paper out sensing and auto form feeds, you may wish to override these functions by removing the REM statements in lines 322-326.<br/><br/>As you've already discovered, this program works with either a Green Screen Monitor or a Colour Monitor. However, this setting is only available when you RUN the program.<br/><gallery widths="png|384px" heights="270px" perrow="2"></gallery>]]
