ThinkTank Manual
(1) THE PARAGRAPH EDITOR
The structure of ThinkTank’s paragraph editor is similar
to the structure of ThinkTank itself. The editor displays the
paragraph in the Text Area between dashed lines. The editor’s
pointer is a flashing cursor that you can move to any charac-
ter position in the paragraph. At the Top level of the
paragraph editor, you can use the arrow keys to move the
flashing cursor one character or line at a time. (If you have
no up and down arrow keyss use CTRL—O and CTRL—K instead.)
You can also use CTRL—L and CTRL—R to move the flashing cursor
to the left and right, one word at a time.
To insert text, simply move the flashing cursor to the in-
sertion point and start typing. ThinkTank automatically ad-
justs the words so that each line fits within the margins of
your screen. Unless you want to end a line before the right
margin, you never need to type a carriage return to move to
the next line.
The main editing commands are contained on the EDIT Com—
mand menu, which you can display by pressing the slash (“/”)
key at the Top Level of the paragraph editor. The command
keys are all control keys, like CTRL—I (sometimes abbreviated
^1) for INSERT. You give these commands by holding down the
CTRL key and pressing the accompanying letter. All of the com—
mand keys — and even all of their subcommand keys - operate
from the Top level of the paragraph editor. (If your keyboard
has special keys dedicated to some of these functions, you may be
able to use them as command keys. See “Special Considera-
tions in Chapter 2 for further information.)
The commands on the EDIT Command Menu include:
* INSERT: Opens up a line for inserting a large block
of text. (Command key CTRL—I)
* DELETE: Deletes the character under the flashing
cursor. (Command key CTRL—D)
* BACKSPACE: Deletes the character just to the left
of the flashing cursor. (Command key CTRL—B)
