What is the JET word processor?

The JET word processor software is a system of computer prograMs which enables a computer with a PICK operatIng system to function as a word processor.

It gives anyone with access to a CRT (or terminal) and a pr i ntl~r the capab iii t i I~S (Jf a word proc1!;!ss i ne;! compt..ltl~r.

The JET word processor is divided into two parts. The first i s call1~d "JET-INII c3nd is used t(J et1t .. 3,. ... data f,"om qOL.II" CRT

into t.he computer sqstef,l. The second is called "JET-OUT"

and is used to print data from the computer system onto a

PI"'-inter.

What does JET do?

The JET word processing system will help you produce:

Letters, per-sorlal ized letter~~, form letters, for-fIls-for fill-in, listings, reports, memos, manuals, mailing lists, phone lists, ledger sheets, state-ments, invoices, purchase orders, sales orders, sales brochures, software, documentation, and various and sundry types of paperwork. You can even use JET to eliminate paperwork.

With JET-IN (and a CRT or terminal) you can:

Indent, tab, center, fill paragraphs, JU5tif~ left and right margins, align columns of data, fill paragraphs to margins, wrap lines automatical14, hyphenate, create, modify and update documents.

With JET-OUT (and a printer) you can:

Automatically paginate; print headings, footings, page numbers, and highlights; compile documents;

m.~r9C:! data from :-t.andar-d 1/ bo i 1 er~ll a::t.e" sour-c es,

from your CRT, or even output from ACCESS, PROC or

Three Steps to Using JET

The three steps to producing a document (letter, memo, form,

fIl anua 1, et.c.) us i rll.~ t.he JET word proc essor are as fo 11 OI,.JS:

1 • D I:~ t e r min e the " for fll at" o f t h e doc u m I: n t •

The format. is t.he shape, struct.ure, the the text on the page--as opposed subject matter, of the document.

or arrangement of to the content, or

For example, the format of a business letter would include a heading, bod~, and footing, with left and right margins and paragraph indentions. The content of each letter (name, address, and subject matter) might differ, but all the letters would have the same format. This design step may be done with pencil and paper.

The JET word processor uses special rYl~r lines to establish or define the margins and tab settinqs in a document, and special £Qmmin~ lines to control everything else. Command lines always start with the

"back slash" charac ter (" \ ") on thl: CRT k e'.Jboard.

3. lise JET-OllT and a printer to print. the document.

Letters, memos, and forms are usually printed only once. Longer works, such as manuals, may be printed first as drafts, to be marked for revision. Rough drafts and forms are usually printed on quicker dot-matrix or line printers; letters and final drafts may require slower II 1 e t t.

Step 1: Specifying a format

Thl~ format of a doCUtlll~nt is the shal="~_, arranl.;JI:';!ml~nt,

alignment, or visual appearance of the data on each page. For example, a one-page memo might look something like this:

To: D'~partm'i:!nt

Once you have designed the section of a document, you using the JET-IN utility.

Rulers are created and entered into a document with the JET

"rul.~r ":l!d i tor". The first time '.Jou ,JET·-IN a new document, you are given a chance to edit rulers before you start to enter the text of the document.

When the cursor is positioned to an existing ruler line,

To create a ruler, simply move the CRT cursor to the left and right, pressing the backspace key to go left, and the space bar to go right. When the cursor is at the position in the ruler where you wish to make a change, press the key for the ru I er c harac ter ' . .Jou wal'",t in that pos i t i on, or pres.s. the "_" (minus sign or hyphen) key to r~mQ~§ the character at that position.

Note: A ruler may contain only Q~~ esch of these characters:

Each ruler csn contain OOIOY of the following tab characters:

<

Left te:,:b

Once you have pressed the tab key, the text you type will be formatted as you type it. For all tabs, the CRT cursor will first Jump to the right, until it is directly under the tab stop in thtE! ruler. For lef't, and auto tabs, cont i nUl!:! tl....JP i nq normally. When typing at a left tab, the text will wrap back to the left margin; when typing at an auto tab, the text will wrap to the location of the auto tab in the ruler.

When typing at a right tab, the cursor will stay in the same spot, and the text will move to the left as you type. When typing at a center tab, the text will move both left and right as you type. Typing at a decimal tab is identical to t I.J pin I;' a t a r i q h t tab, un til ad .. :::! c i fIl a 1 . poi n t o r p l?o rio d (". II )

the SP<JO ll~"'" ,

lin.:! pr i ntl-~r

Prints the memo on a console printer, attached to the CRT.

The length of the page is determined by the page depth of the TERM verb setting. For example, suppose your TERM is set to:

Terillinal 79 24

o

1 5 8 R Printer 132 60

The default page length for JET-OUT will be 24 lines per page on the CRT, and 60 lines per page on the printer. To override the default page length, and set the page length to 55 lines, regardless of how the document is printed, enter a "\page 1 enqth 5~i" c ommar,d line in the doc U/,) .. ~nt.

JET-OUT will nQ~ normally print a form feed at the 1QQ of a dOCLH'll~nt. If documl::nts arl~ ~iet up with a "\footin';}" command, clr i f the!l_~ er,d with a "\bp" c olllilland, then a for-Ill fe€!d will be printed if~~r the document is printed. This method wastes the I€!Bst amount of paper. To force a form feed at the top of each document, use JET-OUT with the (F) option.

Paging is controlled by the TERM verb setting, or b~ b~nl;}th" commands. A n~t ... pal.=l"~ can b~ -f'orc~d wit.h a cOlllmand, clr a "\test pal;te" command.

First tiMe using JET

Follow this example to design, enter, and print a document using the JET word processor. To best appreciate the example, you should have access to a CRT (terminal) on a computer system that is running the JET word processor.

In the course of following the example, you will create a

file, enter a new document into the file with JET-IN, and then print the document with JET-OUT.

To properly follow the example, work from start to finish. Do not try to start in the middle of the example.

T he words" To: " , .. From:" and .. Regard i n9;" c.~r.:! ar'ran,~ed ina column, and aligned by the right edge--this indicates a right tab. Since the longest word to appear at the right tab, the word "Re';,arding:", has 10 characters, the ri,.~ht tab is 10

spaces to the right of the margin, at position 20. This same r i ';,ht tab will also be used to al i qn thlE! "bulllE!ts".

The department name, the name of the originator of the memo, and the subject matter of the memo are arranged in a column, and aligned by the left edge. This indicates a left or auto tab. Because this same tab will be used to align the left edqe of th.:! paral.~raphs, an auto tab ("A") is c hClsen.

The two columns in the heading of the memo are three spaces apart, and the paragraphs are indented 3 spaces from the b I.J 1 1 e t s, sot h e aut 0 tab (" I~") i s 3 spa C IE! sf'" 0 fll t h IE! r i gh t tab

Before you go on. • •

The various types of tabs available with the JET word processor give it power and flexibility. Use them!

Sometimes it will seem that the best way to indent or aliqn something is to type a few blanks at the start of the line, or between two columns, and not have to set up tab stops in a ruler. In the long run, however, you will be better off b~

using the tab stops.

With tabs, you can change the ruler which formats a section of the document, and JET will autoMatically reformat the section. This won't happen for you if you use blanks to align everything.

Also, if you change the size of a word that is at a tab stop, the remaining text will stay aliqned. If you are using blanks to align the text, you will always have to add or subtract blanks to keep the text aligned.

So use tabs when they are needed, but don't use tabs when they are not needed.

Each tab stop ina ruler should have a pur·pose. If a tab stop is not needed in a ruler, then it should be removed from the ruler. Extra tabs will only cause problems.

In particular, the ruler you are designing for the sample memo must be ~~§£t!y the same as in this manual, in order for you to properly follow the example. Therefore, for this example, you OOy§~ remove any extra tab stops.

To remove a character from the ruler, move the cursor on top o f t h ,== char act 1== r t () be .r ,== m a v ed, and pr f:! S S thl:-:: .. - II It. I:!! q •

The TAB key will move the cursor immediately to the next character to the right of the cursor position. This is the quickest way to position the cursor in order to remOV8 c h a r act 1== r 5 f '''" 0 m t h ,== r u l .. ~ r wit h t h I~ min lA S S i q n (II --") k e I::J •

Example oT JET verb usage

On any computer with a PICK operating system, you communicate with the computer through T.C.L. (Terminal Control Language), by typing the names of programs. The names of these programs c:re cc:lled IIverbs". When 'Jou t, . .Jp.~ a verb name, '.Jou (Jlu!:.t a15.0 t'd P I:;: a II fill:;: II n a me, and 0 n e 0 r m 0 r I:;: II i t emil n a ,,11= s • E a chi t 1= m

When '.Jou tqpe II JET -I Nil, fo 11 ow.~d b'.J a f i 1.2 naflle, fCll 10t,..Jed b'._.1

some item names, you invoke the JET word processor to create or €!d i t thoip~e items. When '.Jou t'.Jpe II ~JET -·OUT ", fo 1 lowed bq a file name, and some item names, you invoke the JET word processor to print those items on a CRT, or on a line printer or serial printer.

To use anq verb, you t4pe the verb name, followed b~ a file name, followed (usually) by one or more item names, followed

b':;I "optionsll. Th.:=! options are .2ach cc~pitc:l letter~., and must be inside parentheses.

You illa',J t' . .Jpe a "SELECT", "SSELECTII

verb just before typing the JET-IN or JET-OUT verb. This will generate c: list of item-IDs. If you do not specifq any items with the JET-IN or JET-OUT verb, the list will be the list of items to edit or print. If you generate a selected list, and then specify JET-OUT, and do specify a list of item-IDs, then the list will be used to specify items in a data file, to be used with the ~insert command.

Here are some examples of T.C.L. (Terminal Control Language) commands to invoke the JET word processor. The first word in each e>~ample (the verb name,) will be either ",JET-·IN" or "JET-OUT".
