    Marking Text and Saving it to a file or device.


    Keys:
         <F1> (highlight Mark & Save press <ENTER>)

         or use the Quick Keys

         <F8>
         <ALT P>

    Action: 
         Activates the Mark and Save Text feature. The Mark and Save 
         Text feature lets you highlite a block of text and send it 
         to a file or printer. You can append or overwrite text that 
         is sent to a file.
         
         Once you have activated the Mark and Save Text routine, use the 
         cursor pad (arrow keys, etc.) to highlite a block of text. When 
         finished, press <ENTER>, a window will display a prompt, requesting 
         the filename to write the text to. The default is to send the text 
         to your printer. Once the file has been selected, a status window 
         will display the progress of your request and prompt you for any 
         actions that may be required.

         Note: The default device name in the "Save to:" field is PRN
         (usually LPT1 printer port 1). If you are using a different 
         printer port, you can either enter the name when prompted by
         the Save routine. The other port names are (LPT1, LPT2 or LPT3). 
         You can also use the -LPT<port> command line parameter to change 
         the default port assignment. The -LPT<port> parameter is specified 
         when you load Expert Help and is as follows.

         Usage: -LPT<port>   
         
         Description:
             Defines which printer port to use as a default. Allows you to 
             change the default printer port that is displayed in the Save 
             Text to window. The default port is PRN (usually LPT1). 
                
             Note: The range of <port> is 1-3. When specified, the port
             name in the Save Text to window will display LPT1,
             LPT2 or LPT3. 

         Activating Mark and Save.
         With the Expert Help Display Window popped-up, press <ALT P>
         (or highlight Mark & Save from the F1/Options Menu). This will
         turn text block marking ON.

         Highlighting the Text Block.
         Use the cursor key pad (.... Pg Up/Dn Home End) to highlight
         the text block.

         Aborting text block marking.
         During Block Marking you can shut off the Mark and Save process by:

              1. Pressing the <ESC> key.
              2. Pressing <ALT P> again.
              3. Make the end of the block less than the beginning.

        Note:
          Block marking only works from "top to bottom". If your marking
          line ever becomes less than the first block line, Block marking
          is automatically turned off. You are free to mark as many or as
          few lines as you like as long as you don't move above the first
          blocked line. If you UpArw/PgUp/Home above your marked block area
          (turning off the Mark and Save routine), simply press <Alt P>
          again and move down to the end of the text that you want to mark.
