Staff<br />
This articlee will deal with enhancingg WordPro II[, III, as<br />
was done for WordPro II in the previous issue of<br />
COMPUTE. The enhancement is designed for those<br />
who are arc usingg WordPro [II III on a CBM, and arc using<br />
the NEC Spinwriter for output. Most Spinwriter<br />
print thimbles have nine characters which normallyy<br />
can't be printed by Word Pro Ill. The enhancement<br />
can't be printed by WordPro III. The enhancement<br />
will allow you to lO embed special characters in your<br />
text that will print as one of the Spinwriter characters<br />
not accessibl e by WordPro III alone.<br />
not accessible by WordPro III alone.<br />
The special characters are entered in your textt<br />
by hitting in g the ESC key followed by a number from 1 to<br />
9. If some other key is struck following the ESC<br />
key, the normal character is entered. Also, , the ESC<br />
key must be struck for each special character you<br />
wish to enter. er. The section on ASCII output shows<br />
the ASCII data which is output for each of the nine<br />
special characters. This s section also shows the<br />
characters printed for two of the available able print<br />
thimbles. .<br />
This article also has a section which discusses<br />
how to make modifications. ions. This section will cover<br />
both the enhancement presented in this article as<br />
well as the enhancement presented in the previous<br />
COMPUTE, E. for WordPro [I. II. One of the areas discussed<br />
is the modification necessary lO to use the<br />
enhancements s on PETs with graphics keyboards.<br />
These PETs don't 't have an ESC key (or the REPEAT<br />
key used by the WordPro II enchance ments).<br />

The Upgrade Procedure<br />
The two machine code patches presented here are for<br />
WP3 (FEB 5), the current production version of<br />
WordPro Ill . These patches will be entered using<br />
WordPro III. These patches will be entered using<br />
the machinee language monitor in the PET. Commands<br />
in thiss section for the machine language monilOr<br />
monitor<br />
begin with a pe riod. This period is a prompt character<br />
begin with a period. This period is a prompt character<br />
printed by the monitor. To execute one of these<br />
commands, just j type the rest of the command and<br />
hit RETURN.<br />
Before entering erin g the patches, first place the work<br />
copy of your WordPro diskette in drive 0 and initialize<br />
the diskette. Now type SYS1024 plus carriage return<br />
to get into the e machine language monitor. Execute<br />
Command I, 1. and enter the e first patch using the<br />
PET's screen editor to change the displayed memory<br />
to what is shown beneath the command. Be sure to<br />
hit t a carriage return when you reach the end of each<br />
line. The carriage return causes the changes to be<br />
placed in memory. Once you have finished thee first<br />
patch, , enter the second patch using the e same procedure<br />
for Command #2. Now execute Commands #3<br />
and #4 to save the e patches on disk.<br />

This completes the upgrade procedure. If you want<br />
to return rn to BASIC, type "x" plus carriage return.<br />
Too run an upgraded WordPro Ill, III, place the diskette<br />
comaini containingng the patches in drive 0, , and execute<br />
Commands #5 through #9 in sequence. If you<br />
find that your enhanced WordPro won't come up or<br />
operates improperly, rly, it'ss likely you've made an<br />
error in thee first patch (the one with Command #1).<br />
If it runs s and you are able to enter the special characters,<br />
but foulss up when you try to print something,<br />
you've ' likely made an error in the second patch.<br />
