MU82/183 ________________________________ ___-WordStarThe WordStar word processing package has an installationprogram which configures WordStar to run with theequipment you're using. Part of this program enables you toput printer codes for special features into the software. This iscalled "patching." The patching feature enables you to controlprinting features by placing WordStar control characters inyour text file. In this section, we'll show you how to set upWordStar for the IBM-Compatible ML182/183 and give yousome hints about using printing features.The number of features you can patch into WordStar is limited, so it's a good idea to spend a few minutes thinkingabout what you'll need for the kind of documents you wantto write. You may need superscripts and subscripts, for example, but not different character widths. Our sample configuration will have the following MICROLINE features:-10 Characters Per Inch (Pica) printing17.1 cpi (condensed) printingDouble-width printing (5/8.5 cpi)Continuous UnderliningSuperscripts and Subscripts6 lines per inch8 lines per inchOf course, this is just one possible combination.Before you start, make a copy of WordStar and use the -copy for patching. Save the original in case you have difficulty patching. You may also want to patch several versions with various combinations of features for differentuses.-96
