The LED is line-oriented as opposed to word-oriented. As such, it cannot be considered a true word processor although it does provide many of the same capabilities as many of the other commercially available word processors. In fact, a slightly modified version of the LED was used to create this article. Although we wrote the LED to maintain program source statements, its usefulness is by no means limited to that application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LED is a line oriented text editor. The entire source program must be in memory while the user is modifying it. Modifications allowed include appending source to the end of the text, inserting lines of text into the middle of existing text, changing occurrence of a character string to another string, and printing the text to a hard copy device. After creating or modifying the text, the user may then save it onto tape or diskette. Some of the key points to note when using the LED are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Each line is numbered;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Each line can contain up to 80 characters;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • When entering 3 line, the line must be terminated by RETURN<\/code> key;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A maximum of 500 lines of text may be entered (this is subject to the memory capacity of your particular computer);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • As lines arc inserted or deleted from the source program, the remaining lines arc automatically renumbered;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A line of source may extend more than one screen line on your CRT.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Commands.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    The following arc the descriptions of each of the commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2018F\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Enter FILER portion of LED.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This command allows you to use the LOAD or SAVE commands which arc described below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2018L\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Load file from tape or diskette.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This command allows you to load a previously edited source program. The source program may have been saved on tape or diskette. After keying \u2018L\u2019 the LED will prompt you for the name of the source program. Key in the filename and depress RETURN<\/code>. Do not key in the suffix .SOURCE<\/code>. If you decide that you really don\u2019t want to load a file, then enter a null line instead of a filename. At this point you will be asked if the file was saved on tape or diskette (for the PET version of LED). Type \u2018T\u2019 or \u2018D\u2019 as appropriate. If the source program is on tape, then you must put the source file tape into cassette #1. For either tape or diskette, the filename that is keyed in must match the filename that is on the storage medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2018S\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Save file onto tape or diskette.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This command allows you to save the current source program onto tape or diskette. After keying \u2018S\u2019, the LED will prompt you for the name of the file to be saved. Key in the file-name and then depress RETURN<\/code>. The file-name is limited to twelve characters. The suffix .SOURCE<\/code> will be added to the filename by the LED. If you decide that you really don\u2019t want to save a file, then enter a null line instead of a filename.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At this point you will be asked if you want to save the file onto tape or diskette (for PET version of the LED). Type \u2018T\u2019 or \u2018D\u2019 as appropriate. If the source is to be saved onto tape, then you must put the tape into cassette #1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    *** Note that tape is supported only in the PET version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2018A\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Append the end of source.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This command allows you to add lines to the end of the current source program. If you have not loaded any source program, then this command will allow you to create a new source program. You may append one or as many lines as you desire. To signal the end of append mode press RETURN<\/code> when the cursor is sitting at the first character after the line number prompt (null line).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2018C\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Change string.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This command allows you to change an existing string to a new string. It will make changes to either a single line or to a range of lines. Indicate a single line by keying in its line number followed by RETURN<\/code>. Indicate a range of lines by keying the line number of the first line to be searched followed by \u2018-\u2019 and finally followed by the line number of the last line to be searched followed by RETURN<\/code>. You will then be prompted for the change siring. The format for the changed string is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    + from-string + to-string +<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    where:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    +<\/code> is a delimiter \u2014 any character may be used but it must not be contained in either the from-string<\/code> or the to-string<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    from-string<\/code> is the string of characters which are to be replaced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    to-string<\/code> is the string of characters which are to replace the from-string in the original source line<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    e.g.  \/abc\/xyz\/ <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    in the above example all occurrences of abc<\/code> will be replaced by xyz<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    e.g.  \/abc\/\/ <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    in the above example all occurrences of \u2018abc<\/code>\u2019 will be eliminated (replaced by nulls).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \u2018D\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Delete line or range.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    This command allows you to delete a line or a range of lines from the source program in memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    DELETE RANGE(LOW,HIGH)-> 80<\/code> will delete line 80<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    DELETE RANGE(LOW,HIGH)-> 80-90<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    will delete lines 80 thru 90<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    DELETE RANGE(LOW-HIGH)-> -20<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    will delete all lines thru 20<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \u2018I\u2019 insert lines into source program<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This command will allow you to insert lines into the existing source program. LED will prompt you for the line number before which you want to insert the new source statements. You may enter one or as many new lines as you desire. Follow each line with RETURN<\/code>. To signal the end of INSERT mode press RETURN<\/code> when the cursor is setting at the first character in the line (null).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \u2018L\u2019 list source program<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This command allows you to list a line or range of lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    LIST RANGE(LOW-HIGH)-> 80<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    will list line 80<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    LIST RANGE(LOW-HIGH)-> 80-100<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    will list lines 80 thru 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    LIST RANGE(LOW-HIGH)-> -20<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    will list all lines thru 20<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    LIST RANGE(LOW-HIGH)-> NULL<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    will list all lines<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    With the LIST command only the following features are available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    PET.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    RUN\/STOP<\/code> key – suspends the listing awaiting the depression of the RETURN<\/code> key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    SPACE BAR<\/code> – scrolls the listing one line at a time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    OFF\/RVS<\/code> key – slows the speeds of the listing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    APPLE II.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    ESC<\/code> key – suspends the listing awaiting the depression of the RETURN<\/code> key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    RETURN<\/code> key – reverts to normal speed listing after ESC<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    SPACE BAR<\/code> – slows the speed of the listing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \u2018M\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Menu display.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    This command allows you to sec a more complete explanation of the commands than the abbreviated version which prompts you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \u2018P\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Print source program.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    This command allows you to print a line or range of lines to a hard copy printer. The PET is supported thru the IEEE interface as device 4. The APPLE II is supported thru slot 2. The range specifications are identical as LIST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \u2018Q\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Quit LED.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    This command allows you to gracefully exit from the LED. The LED gives you a chance to change your mind so that if you accidentally keyed Q<\/code>, then you will have another opportunity to save your source file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \u2018R\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Replace a line.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    This command allows you to replace a single line only. After keying in the line number to be replaced, the LED will prompt you with that line number. Key in the replacement text and press return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    e.g. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    REPLACE -LINE#-> 108<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    allows you to replace line 108.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Listing.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
    The listing which follows is the version of the LED for the PET\/CBM machines. The version for the APPLE II is very similar to the PET\/CBM version and runs under APPLESOFT. The major differences between the two versions are in the routines that handle the disk and printer I\/O.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
