Text can be typed into the diary in a free format, and can be edited using similar cursor-editing facilities as in PipeDream. Text automatically wraps to the next line when it reaches the right-hand margin, but note that unlike PipeDream the Diary does not reformat the remaining text on the page. This is to avoid altering the layout of any subsequent diary entries on the same page.

Loading and saving - FILES

Image Removed

The commands on the FILES menu allow you archive old information in the Diary, or to load a range of entries into the Diary, starting at a different date (such as a year later).

Load - Image Removed FL

Incorporates a diary file of a specified name into the information currently in the Diary.

Gives the prompts:

 - - - - - - - - - - -  NAME OF FILE TO LOAD - - - - - - - - - - 

START LOADING DATA AT DIARY DATE . . . . . . . . . . . . .    No

A block of Diary entries can be copied from one range of dates to another, such as from one year to the next, by saving the block, moving to the same date in the next year (using the Calendar), and then loading the data back with the option set

START LORDING DATA AT DIARY DATE  . . . . . . . . . . . . .   Yes

Because loading appends data to whatever is already in the diary, an additional blank line will be present on the current day after a load.

Instead of typing the file name, the file can be selected from the Filer. After typing Image RemovedFL call the Filer by typing Image RemovedF, and select the required file by marking it (see Selecting files, p. 85). When you return to the Diary from the Filer by pressing Esc the selected file name will have been copied to the Load window. You will then just need to press  HighlightlightgreyclasskeylightgreyENTERto load the file.

Save - Image RemovedFS,

Saves the Diary to the current name, or to a name you specify. Normally the whole diary is saved. You can also save part of the Diary by marking the block of text first.

Gives the prompts:

 - - - - - - - - - - -  NAME OF FILE TO SAVE - - - - - - - - - -
