***************************** FORM Editor Help *******************************

The  form  editor is used for creating and modifying forms.    When  the  form
editor takes control,  you will see your form appear on lines 2 through 25  of
your  display,  or these lines will be blank if you are creating a  new  form.
The  first  line will display 'EDIT:'  followed by the form name,  the  cursor
position,   the attribute of the character the cursor in on,  and the  current
attribute which is used if you add new characters to your form.

Attributes:

    Attributes are what are used to display a character on your monitor,  
such
    as color,  background color,  highlighting,  and underlining, depending on
    what your monitor supports.   Each character  on  your display has its own
    attribute.    You  have control over how attributes are used on your  form
    with function keys F2, F7, F8, and F9.

    Attributes have  two  purposes.   They are used to make your form colorful
    and also to define input fields which are places you  can type  into  when
    the form is executed.    Up  to  four  different attributes may be used to
    define input fields.  A common one is inverse video (black characters on a
    white  background).    Use  of  attributes is important and is covered  in
    lesson 2.

Functions:

    ESC - Return to Menu:   Exits Form Generation.   Two consecutive pushes of
          this key are required.   If you push ESC  once  by accident, hit any
          other key except ESC to cancel and resume.

    F1  - Help:  Displays  on-screen help.  A  condensed help display is shown
          first.    Pressing  F1  a  second time will provide  detailed  help.
          Pressing any other key will resume the editor.

    F2  - Define  Special  Characters &  Attributes:   Displays a  menu  which
          allows  you to (1)  select any character including the  special  IBM
          graphics  characters  to enter on your form;  and  (2)   define  any
          attribute you want to use on your menu.

          Any character in the IBM character  graphics  set may be selected by
          using the cursor keys.  To place it on your form use F10.

          Attributes   apply   to   text  and  define   colors,    underlines,
          highlighting,  and blinking depending on what your monitor supports.
          Each character on your display has its own attribute defined for it.
          Attributes are used by FORM MASTER to designate  areas  on your form
          where information may be filled in when the form is executed.  It is
          up  to  you  to define  these input fields.   You must give  them  a
          different attribute than other  places  on  you  form.   The easiest
          attribute to select is inverse video by pressing F8.   You can  then
          move  the cursor to where the field will be and press the space  bar
          repeatedly to watch it appear.  The F2 menu allows you to define any
          attribute.

          There are three functions associated with this special menu:
             o  Select a character
             o  Select the foreground attribute ( 0-9, A, B, C, D, E, F)
             o  Select the background attribute ( 0-9, A, B, C, D, E, F)
          You can change the  function by pressing  the Return key.  Selection
          is made using the cursor control keys.  Exit by pressing ESC.

    F3  - Start Box / Line:   The current cursor  position is noted  when  you
          press  this  key  and "Start Box / Line"   appears on the  top  line
          temporarily.   Use this to mark where you want to  begin your line /
          box.

    F4  - Draw Box / Line:  A line or box is drawn using the current attribute
          on  the form from the position marked with F3  to the current cursor
          position  and "Draw Box / Line" appears on the top line temporarily.
          A line instead of a box is drawn if the current  cursor  position is
          on the same line or row as the position marked with F3.

    F5  - Pick Line:  The line containing the cursor is saved and  "Pick Line"
          appears  on the top line temporarily.   Use this with F6  to copy  a
          line on the form.

    F6  - Put  Line:   The  line  saved  with F5  is inserted before the  line
          containing  the  cursor  and "Put Line"  appears  on  the  top  line
          temporarily.  This is used with F5 to copy a line.

    F7  - Use Normal Attribute:  The current attribute is set to  normal video
          which is white characters on a black background (07). Further typing
          will  add characters in normal video.   Note that white  appears  as
          green or amber on some monochrome monitors.

    F8  - Use  Inverse  Video  Attribute:   The current  attribute is  set  to
          inverse video, black characters on a white background (70).  Further
          typing will add characters in inverse video.

    F9  - Use Special Attribute:   The current attribute is set to  that  last
          defined  using F2.    Further  typing  will add characters with this
          attribute.

    F10 - Type Special Character:   The special  character defined with F2  is
          entered onto the form at the cursor position.
