Printing AMPLINEX disc catalogues
Leslie Gardener
I look forward eagerly to the arrival of each new AMPLINEX
issue and never fail to learn a thing or two. As soon as each disc arrives I
print out a list of contents, then systematically listen to the music and mark
it on a scale of one to ten. That saves my time by reminding me that some items
are not worth another hearing. The average mark is 7 or 8 but there are some
for which zero seems a bit on the generous side.
Perhaps some members do not realise how easy it is to print
out the catalogue of a disc using Wordwise Plus 2 (and almost certainly the original
Wordwise and Wordwise Plus). Only four keystrokes are required:
f1 * . f2
Use option 7 to see the result on screen or option 6 to print
it out.
This works equally for DFS and ADFS directory structures.
Printing graphics above a menu
Kevin Doyle
The MENUDISP command, which displays the lines in a menu,
not only starts at the top of the screen, but also clears any blank lines in
the menu preventing the display of graphics or other non-menu text above the
menu options.
To get round this add the graphics after the menu has
printed (by moving the cursor back to the top of the screen) but before the
MENU command.
An example is shown below:
"ex" [
