Nova-Text allows you to mark off a section
of text to move, copy, or
delete. This involves four steps:
1. Move the cursor to the beginning of
the text you want to mark,
and press CTRL-B.
Nova-Text tells you that you have marked the
start of the block.
2. Move the cursor to the end of the text
you want to mark, and press
CTRL-B
again. At this point, the text section is highlighted, and
Nova-Text asks whether you want to move,
copy, or delete the
text.
3. Press M
to move, C
to copy, or D
to delete. Pressing any other key
will unmark the text and abort the operation.
4. If you decided to move or copy the text,
move the cursor to the
new position for the text and press RETURN.
No other editing is
possible until you have pressed RETURN.
The status line shows
the letter Blk before you press RETURN
to indicate this special
mode.
A.9 Saving a file
To save the file, press CTRL-S.
Type in the file name. To use the
previous file name, just press RETURN.
A.10 Compiling a script
To compile the text in the editor into
a script file, press RUN/STOP.
See section 6, Scripts for more
information about this.
