ThinkTank Manual
Imagine the selection as an extremely flexible rubber band. When you start the selection, you tack down one end of the band at the anchor point. The other end is attached to the flashing cursor. When you move the cursor, the band stretches or relaxes depending on your direction of movement.
Save Paragraphs Frequently
The changes you make with the paragraph editor are not saved on your data disk until you say so. If you are making extensive changes to a paragraph, save them frequently while editing. To do this, press the ESC key from the Top Level of the paragraph editor and select SAVE from the EDIT EXIT Menu.
When it has finished saving, ThinkTank asks if you are finished editing the paragraph. If you respond N (NO), Think— Tank returns to the Top Level of the text editor where you can continue to edit the paragraph. In other words, you can save your changes without leaving the paragraph editor. This makes it easy to save your changes often. Periodic saving will minimize your losses in case of a power failure or computer breakdown.

If you run out of internal memory, ThinkTank will display the message MEMORY FULL! Use the COLLAPSE command to compress part of your outline so that it consumes less internal memory.
