Entering Pseudocode falls into two categories: Entering/placing text on the

screen and everything else. Pseudocodes that have nothing to do with text on

screen are relatively simple. Each bit of information needed to complete a

Pseudocode command is asked for one piece at a time. You can get from

entry to entry with the Tab key or the Enter key. The Enter key causes you

to exit the Pseudocode entry box once everything has been defined. The Tab

key takes you from entry to entry and from the last entry to the first without

exiting the screen. Shift-Tab takes you backwards.On Screen entry allows

you to do even more powerful things. Any command that generates text to be

placed on the screen takes advantage of On Screen Editing. The SCREEN

command allows you to place regular text, large text and huge text at any

location on the screen. When entering text on screen, you are always in

overtype mode. You change text sizes with the Tab key. Once you are done

typing the text to be displayed on the screen, you press Enter and are then

prompted for a name for the screen. Once that is done (and you press Enter

again) you will see that a series of PUT TEXT commands have been

generated. Whenever you are entering a new PUT TEXT command or

editing an existing one, your cursor will be on the screen. You can add or

change text or move it around. To move text, you hold down the Shift key

and then press Cursor keys to move the text to the desired location. Once

you have the proper text on the screen in the proper location, press Enter to

generate the Pseudocode.

Certain Pseudocodes (like PUT NUMBER) allow you to specify numeric

formats for printing numbers on the screen. You may specify a digit place

holder with a # character. Use the decimal point (.) character for specifying

the location of the decimal point. Use a plus(+) or minus (-) sign to specify

the use of a sign. If you want scientific notation, use an E. For example:

##.### Specifies from 0.000 to 99.999

+#.# Specifies from -9.9 to +9.9

### Specifies from 0 to 999

PUT TEXT has the capability to place text from string variables directly on

screen. The actual process to place the variable may seem a little confusing

at first. To place the contents of a string variable with the PUT TEXT

Pseudocode, press F5 followed by P. Select PUT TEXT with the cursor, press

Enter. You are now in “ON SCREEN” text entry (i.e. your cursor is on the

simulated T-60 screen and blinking). Move the cursor to the desired starting

location of the text string. Type a dollar sign ($) followed by Enter. A new

window will appear in the Pseudocode entry area which will ask for the name

of the string variable (a string variable must end with a dollar sign ($)).

Enter the string variable and press return.

Selecting Pseudocode is simple. Pressing F5 displays a list of Pseudocodes

that you can choose. The Pseudocode selection screen displays the

Pseudocode list, the currently selected Pseudocode, and some helpful

information about the currently selected Pseudocode. If you press Enter, you

will go to the entry screen (if one is needed) for the currently selected

Pseudocode. You can use the Up and Down Arrows, as well as the Page Up

and Page Down keys, to scroll through the Pseudocodes. You can also press a

letter key to get to the first command in the Pseudocode list that begins with

that letter. For instance, if you are in the list and press S, you will go to the

SCREEN command location in the Pseudocode list.
