			  No-File General Information

	When started without a file name, or when the editing of a file is
   ended, WordStar displays the 'No-File' menu.  A menu of commands that may
   entered are shown, and the words "editing no file" are displayed on the
   first line.	Below the menu is displayed a directory listing of all the
   files on the currently logged disk drive.

	The DIRECTORY is simply a listing of the filenames that are present
  on the currently logged-in disk.  It is a convenience to the user, as he
  or she may then decide which file to open.  In the succeeding frames, the
  directory will not be displayed in order to save space.  If you wish to turn
  off the directory, you would give thw 'F' command from the No-File menu.

			     Preliminary Commands

   L -- Change Logged Disk Drive.  Displays the name of the current logged
	disk drive and allows selection of a new logged disk drive.

   F -- File Directory Toggle.	Controls display of file directory (names
	of all files on logged disk drive).  First F turns it on, second
	turns it off, etc.

   H -- Set Help Level.  Asks for the new "help level" (0 to 3), which
	determines the degree of menu display and other prompting supplied
	by Wordstar.  Unless the help level is already 0, an explanation of
	the help levels is displayed.

			Commands Used to Open a File

   D -- Open a Document File.  Asks for a file name, then prepares for the
	editing of the specified file.	The File opened may be an already
	existing file, or it may be a new file.  This is the command to use
	for opening or editing most files that will be printed with right-
	justification, etc.

   N -- Open a Non-Document File.  This command operates the same way as
	the 'D' command, except that the file is edited as a non-document
	file.  This means that it will not have page breaks displayed or
	inserted, word wrap will be turned off, right margins will not be
	automatically justified, etc.  Used to generate program listings.

			      File Commands

  P -- Print a File.  The 'P' command is used to initially start printing a
       file.  Once printing has started, pressing 'P' a second time halts
       the printing temporarily.  Once the printing has been temporarily
       suspended, pressing 'P' a third time causes printing to resume.

  E -- Rename a File.  The 'E' command permits you to change the name of a
       file, or rename it.

  O -- Copy a File.  The 'O' command is used to copy a file without having
       to return to the operating system.  You may copy to different disks,
       but not to different user levels.

			      SYSTEM COMMANDS

  R -- Run a Program.  The 'R' command allows you to run a program while
       still in WordStar.  When the program has been run, WordStar will
       resume.	One use of this might be to check the amount of disk space
       by using the program STAT.

  X -- Exit to System.	Exit to the operating system (CP/M or MP/M).  The
       'X' when you are through with WordStar and wish to run another
       program.

  M -- Run MailMerge.  This allows the use of the optional MailMerge
       feature of WordStar (purchased separately).  The MailMerge file must
       be present on the disk in the common default drive (drive G: in this
       system).  The 'M' command allows merging of data from a data file
       into text at print time to produce form letters.  If MailMerge is
       not present, an error message is displayed.

  S -- Check Spelling.	This enables the use of the Spellstar Option for
       checking the spelling of a document.  The 'S' command runs SpellStar
       from within WordStar.  When SpellStar is not present on the disk, an
       error message is displayed.
