| WPS-PLUS V4 is supposed to be able to cope with different lines in the
screen - to cope with 48 or 66 lines on VAX/DECstations for example.
Whether it can cope with FEWER, I am not sure??

| 137.2 | Use of TDE for instructions | MCIS5::BMOORE | Pray for Chinese people | Fri Feb 28 1992 21:16 | 11 |
| For what it's worth - try putting your instructions inside of TDE block
and the user will not accidentally clobber anything. However, it will
print and you will see the stuff however if you keep it brief and put
only what is needed when needed it works fairly well.
If you are interested - I might have some other useful information for
you regarding OVERSTRIKE versus INSERT in WPS-PLUS - use of ENTER key -
and use of UNDERLINE as opposed to _______.

| 137.3 | TDE is a clever idea | BUFFER::VICKERS | Winners take action not keep score | Fri Feb 28 1992 22:14 | 12 |
| Assuming that you are referring to the WPS-PLUS editor and not the WPS
editor then I suspect that Bob's pointer about using the Two
Dimensional Editor is the best approach.
Another approach which I have seen used is to place the instructions in
a PRINT CONTROL BLOCK.
Bob has quite an impressive application which does almost exactly what
is described in .0, by the way. Or wasn't I supposed to say that, Bob?
Have fun,

| Or don't display the instructions in the file, but have them available
at a touch of a button for those users who need them.....
The (e.g.) F20 UDP could be set up to list the instructions to the
user, and even control user input while it decides which bits of the
instructions are relevant to the user at the present time....

I may be able to do the TDE stuff. I realized (.4) that a keystroke
would work but this thing is for non ALL-IN-1 users so I had to keep is as
real simple. Not to mention that the folks using this application insist on
using PROCOMM which only does VT100 :-(
Don, I meant WPS-PLUS I think. What's the difference between this
and WPS ? (I meant whatever comes stock with ALL-IN-1)
I noticed that changing oa$edit form has no effect. What is it's
purpose of the scroll region within that form ?
The other thing I had thought about was the status information used
when GOLD Z is enabled. Is there some way to access these lines. I had
thought about something like a out-of-band AST or some type of exec thread to
update these lines but haven't figured out a nice way to do this.
Is the status block a form somewhere. That would be a major win :-) I don't
think it is :-(
