:	>>>>----->     Welcome to the World of WordStar!!    <-----<<<<

	WordStar is an extremely powerful screen-oriented word processor.
	It is easy to use, and has a wide array of help screens built in
	to assist the beginning user.  Some definitions may be helpful in
	understanding its terminology.

	FILE -- A group of letters or numbers that forms a document or
		program and is stored on a disk.

	SCREEN -- The picture tube (CRT) of the terminal that you use to work
		with the computer, or its contents in the form of characters.

	CURSOR -- The symbol that is used to show you where you are working
		on the screen.	Usually represented by a block or an under-
		line symbol, either steady or flashing.

	KEYBOARD -- The device with keys that is used to enter (type)
		characters (numbers, letters, and punctuation symbols)
		that are then displayed on the screen and entered into
		the file.  Similar to a typewriter keyboard, but contains
		certain 'extra' keys not normally found on typewriters.
		These keys are explained in the help section 'Keyboard'.

	 MENU -- This is a listing from which you select options depending
		on your preference.  You have used one with this 'help'
		program.

	DISK or DISKETTE -- A device that stores files as a sequence of
		recorded magnetic impulses.  It may be either removable,
		(and floppy) or fixed in place (hard).

	FLOPPY DISK or DISKETTE -- Looks like a record made of plastic with a
		plastic case around it.  It should live either in a disk drive
		or in a special storage envelope.  They require a bit of care
		in handling.  If you use floppy disks, take some time to read
		the handling instructions printed on the back of the special
		protective envelopes.

	HARD DISK -- Lives in a box, and is not usually removable or port-
		able.  It will hold a great deal of information and is pretty
		easy to use.  These are used in most of the multi-user
		machines.

	DISK DRIVE -- The device that houses disks when they are in use.
		It works very much like a tape recorder, but records files
		instead of music or sound.

	LOGGED DISK DRIVE -- Each disk drive has a one letter name, followed
		by a colon (:).  This system has five disk drives, called
		A:, B:, E:, F:, and G:.  When the system is turned on, the
		logged disk drive becomes G:.  Drive G: is where the system
		files live, so that they are accessible to all.  Your
		document files will be stored on drive E:, so you need to
		change the logged drive to the E: drive.

	USER LEVEL -- Multi-user systems running under MP/M use things called
		'User Levels' to keep separate each different user's work.
		Before you begin using WordStar, check with someone to see if
		this is important on the system you are using.	If you must
		change to your own special user level, it must be done before
		entering WordStar and beginning to work on a file.

	PRINTER -- The device that transforms electronic data into printed
		characters on paper.  This makes them easier for people to
		understand. . .  Printers may be either dot-matrix or
		fully-formed character type.  The dot-matrix type is
		faster in operation but the characters produced by the
		fully-formed character printer are prettier in most cases.

		EPSON MX-80 = Dot matrix, 80 Characters/second

		NEC 8023    = Dot matrix, 100 Characters/second

		DEC LA120   = Dot matrix, 120+ Characters/second

		DIABLO 630  = Fully formed character, 40 Characters/second

	DOCUMENT vs NONDOCUMENT FILES -- A Document File has whole herds of
		special printing control characters ^Sembedded^S in it to tell
		the printer how to do things.  It also has a number of other
		special characters that allow the right justification and
		paragraph reforming commands to work.  This is the 'normal'
		type of file that you will be making with WordStar.  The so-
		called 'Non Document' files are used for entering program
		listings and other types of files that do not use or allow
		these special characters.

	WS950 or WSACT5?? -- WordStar must be especially installed for each
		different type of terminal that it is used with.  In this
		installation we are using both the Televideo 950 terminals
		and the Microterm ACT5 terminals.  As peculiar as it may
		sound at first, WS950 is used with the Televideo 950, while
		WSACT5 is used with both the Microterm ACT-V and ACT-5A
		terminals.  To determine which you are using, look at the
		model number on the front of the terminal.  Users with
		severe dyslexia may contact Wisest User or High Priest for
		assistance in this determination.
