ThinkTank User's Manual

ThinkTank Manual
If you give the FILES/NEW command (or start up ThinkTank
and choose NEW) and you have a floppy disk system with three
or more drives, ThinkTank displays the NEW FILE Menu which al-
lows you to select the drive number for your new outline.
This is the equivalent of FILES/EXISTS/ENTER for FILES/NEW.
If you have a hard disk system, see the parallel command
ENTER.
START Begin new selection at flashing cursor
Command key: CTRL—S
Command prefix: No
Location: SELECTION Command Menu (Paragraph
Editor)
See also: SELECT
Enters SELECT mode and begins a new selection at the
flashing cursor. Once you start a selection, you define it by
moving the cursor to another position. START does not appear
on the SELECTION Command Menu if you have already started a
selection. You can also give the START command by pressing
CTRL—S from the Top Level of the paragraph editor.
Once you’ve started a selection, any flashing cursor move-
ment redefines it. You can move by character, by line, by
word, by page, or to the top or bottom. Pressing ESC, or
giving any command that changes the text, cancels the selec-
tion. In other words, once you’ve started a selection, Think—
Tank wants you to do something with it before you do anything
else. You should avoid inserting text or using INSERT,
BACKSPACE, TYPEOVER, or XCHANGE while in SELECT mode.
