+HotFlash notes. * General operation. A Initial character meanings. / --> To enter a command = --> To specify a block to jump to ! --> To force recalculation ; --> To change screen window Four arrow keys scroll around the blocks Four CTRL+key combinations also scroll: CTRL/E CTRL/X CTRL/S CTRL/D ==> UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT If your terminal has no UP/DOWN arrows, then the spacebar toggles the meaning of RIGHT/LEFT arrows between RIGHT/LEFT and DOWN/UP. CTRL/Z --> Clear out current entry line. " --> Starts Text blocks. ' --> Starts Repeating Text blocks. Any other character starts Formula blocks. B A file name is from 1 to 8 letters and/or optionally preceded by a device (disk) prefix. This prefix is a single letter followed by a colon (:). Examples: BALANCE 1Exempt B:Feb24 A allows current file list selection. C Range designators. A "range" is a row, column, block or group. A "row" is a number from 1 through 254. A "column" is a letter (pair) from A through BK. A "block" is a column followed by a row, for example: 'J10' A "group" is two blocks, separated by a colon (:). An empty range (entering just "return") means the current block, row or column. "ALL" means the range A1:. Entering "ESC" allows the arrow keys (or CTRL S/E/D/X keys) to be used to "point" to a desired block. D slash commands : B(lank)-----> Removes contents of blocks. C(opy)------> Copies contents of blocks. D(elete)----> Deletes entire row or column. E(dit)------> Allows editing the contents of a block. F(ormat)----> Change display format of blocks, rows, or entire worksheet. G(lobal)----> Change global display or calculation options. I(nsert)----> Create new row or column. L(oad)------> Read worksheet (or portion) from disk. M(ove)------> Swap rows or columns. O(utput)----> Display contents or values of blocks on printer, console or disk. P(rotect)---> Prevent future alteration of blocks. Q(uit)------> Exit PeachCalc. R(epeat)----> Reproduce partial rows or columns. S(ave)------> Write worksheet to disk. T(itle)-----> Lock first rows or columns against scrolling. U(nprotect)-> Allow alteration of protected blocks. W(indow)----> Split or unsplit the screen display. X(eXecute)--> Accept commands and data from a file. Z(ap)-------> Clear worksheet and all settings. E Formula adjustment options. Determines how block references in formulas are adjusted for their new positions. N(o adjust)---> Leave all block references (like J10) unchanged. A(sk)---------> Gives you the options to change or leave each block reference individually. V(alues)------> Only move block values, no adjusment is pertinent. If no option specified (back up and type instead of <,>) all block references are modified. F Title Lock. Tells PeachCalc to "lock" the leftmost columns and/or uppermost rows so that they are never scrolled off the screen (or video window). Options: H(orizontal)--> Lock current row and all rows above it. V(ertical)----> Lock current column and all those to the left. B(oth)--------> Simultaneously lock H and V. C(lear)-------> Erase any title locks. G GLOBAL command options: These options affect calculation or display attributes. R(ow-wise) -- Specifies that recalculation be done across the rows, that is, all of Row 1 is calculated, then all of Row 2, etc. C(olumn-wise) -- Calculation is down the columns, that is all of Column A, then all of Column B, etc. A(utomatic Recalculation) -- The entire worksheet is recalculated after numbers or formulas are entered. M(anual Recalculation) -- In this mode, the worksheet is only recalculated when you enter "!". The following options are "toggles". If the option is already on, respecifying it turns it off and vice versa. T(ab) -- In Tab mode, advancing between blocks skips all empty or protected blocks. B(orders) -- Controls whether the row number and column letter borders are displayed. F(ormula Display) -- In Formula Display mode, the textual contents (rather than current values) are displayed. N(ext) -- This toggle controls whether an "auto-advance" is performed (in the "current direction") after data is entered into a block. H Scope of Formats. E(ntry)---->Sets display format for a block or group of blocks. R(ow)------>Sets display format for all blocks in row without a block format. C(olumn)--->Sets display format (or width) for column. Affects blocks with no entry or row format. G(lobal)--->Sets display format and column width for all blocks and rows without local formats. I Quit options. Y(es) exits PeachCalc. This discards all worksheet data not /S(aved) on disk. J Zap operation. Y(es) erases all data from worksheet, including global formats and column widths. Zap is equivalent to exiting PeachCalc and calling it again. K Window (split-screen) options: H(orizontal)-->Split into two windows at current row. V(ertical)---->Split at current column. C(lear)------->Erase split (return to single window). S(ynchronize)->Cause both windows to scroll simultaneously when moving parallel to split. U(nsynch.)---->Cause only current window to scroll, regardless of direction. L FORMAT command. Enter one or more of following options: I(nteger)---->Display numbers rounded to a whole number. $------------>Display numbers with two digits after "." . E(xponent)--->Display numbers in scientific notation. G(eneral)---->Display numbers as they "best fit" in block. *------------>Display numbers as a string of stars. R(ight)------>Format numbers right-justified. L(eft)-------->Format numbers left-justified. T(ext)L(eft)-->Display text strings left-justified. In this case long text will continue to display in unoccupied adjacent blocks. T(ext)R(ight)->Display text strings right-justified. D(efault)---->Reset to G
