Sixty-four column text on a Spectrum? Impossible? Not with Word

Processor by Mark Lawrence of Basildon in Essex. The program is

written entirely in machine code, and offers the following facilities:

  With CAPS SHIFT:

0-Delete character

1-Clear all text from memory

2-Switch on/off CAPS LOCK

3-Move back one page

4-Move forward one page

5-Move cursor left

6-Move cursor down

7-Move cursor up

8-Move cursor right

  In Extended Mode (CAPS SHIFT and SYMBOL SHIFT):

B-Change border, paper and ink colours. You will be asked for a three

  digit number. The first is the border colour, the second the paper,

  and the third ink. You may not use digits greater than seven.

F-Find the first occurrence of a string. You must input the required

  string.

L-Load text. You may load text either from tape or microdrive. The

  text is loaded from page A onwards, so you must move them else-

  where if you want to save text they contain already.

M-Move text from one page to another. The original page is not deleted

  with this command. You will be asked to give the letters for both

  pages.

P-Print page. This will print the current page number and wait for you

  to press a key.

R-Sent to RS232. This will send the current page to the RS232 interface

  on Interface One.

S-Save text. You can save to tape or microdrive. You will be asked for

  starting and finishing points of the text and given the opportunity

  to VERIFY.

Z-Copy current page to ZX Printer.

  To enter the program, first type in Listing 1 and save it with

SAVE "w/p" LINE 10. Now delete the program from the computer and enter

Listing 2. If you want to save Listing 2, do so on a separate tape.

RUN the program and enter the machine code in Listing 3 as requested.

The last number in each row is a checksum and if there is a mistake

you will be told to type in that row again. When you have entered all

the code, enter 999 and the computer will SAVE the code.
