Mustacheboyo Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Sorry it's Quote Atari System Reference Manual (19xx)(-)(Side A) in TOSEC Atari 8bit docs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) There's a readme on the disk that say's you can load the chapters in to any Atari word processor, and probably the one on the disk via a ctrl keys combination.

Mustacheboyo Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Thanks. I wonder what physical documents came with this disk or if it even came with anything at all, it seems to be from 1987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I think there's also a manual that is now in pdf format, I'll see if I have it and post it. Just looked, nope was wrong, basically you have to get those files in to a WP and print your own from them Edit 2: Did a little more digging and the file I've posted may be the text from those files?

invisible kid Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 So it looks like Ctrl-M will give you a directory, then Ctrl-L will load a file. Type in "D:CHAPTER1" (don't type the "s). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Thank you IK, I was doing 101 things so didn't have time to look for the ctrl keys at that sec 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Afair, the Page 6 Writer is a patched Speedscript... so, if you have a manual for Speedscript, this should also work for Page 6 Writer. TXTEDIT1.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CharlieChaplin Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Or maybe just hacked with a new author's name and program name ? Press Control-M and you see exactly the same menu as in Speedscript, many other commands (if not all commands) in Page 6 Writer are also the same as in Speedscript. Maybe someone can compare Speedscript 3.0 and Page 6 Writer and show the (few) differences ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
