ThinkTank Manual

use the backslash (“\“) and caret (“^“) symbols as shift indicators to tell ThinkTank to capitalize other letters when it prints the paragraph. See Box 4—1 for a more complete description.

ThinkTank has a limit of 2048 characters in a paragraph. The paragraph editor won’t let you exceed this limit and will display the message NO ROOM FOR LAST KEYSTROKE! if you try.

See the error messages section for suggested solutions.

To leave the paragraph editor, press ESC from Top Level. ThinkTank displays the EDIT EXIT Menu. The options are:

*SAVE: If you select this option, ThinkTank saves the changes you have made on your data disk. It then gives you a choice of returning to ThinkTank or continuing to edit the paragraph. (Command key S)

*UNDO: Returns you to the Top Level of ThinkTank without saving the changes you have made. (Command key U)

*RETURN: Cancels the exit process and returns to the Top Level of the paragraph editor without saving your changes. (Command key R)

(If you exit from the paragraph editor without making any changes to the paragraph, the EDIT EXIT Menu is somewhat dif- ferent. You can choose either to EXIT to the Top Level of ThinkTank or RETURN to the paragraph editor.)

(2) THE HEADLINE EDITOR

ThinkTank’s headline editor is similar to the paragraph editor but simpler. Within the headline editor you can:

*Enter (insert) new text at the flashing cursor position.

*Press the left and right arrow keys to move the flashing cursor through the headline, one character at a time.
