Abstract: Method of printing on a printer (15) records from a file of spatially related data stored in a text processing system comprising a processor (11), a keyboard (10) and a display (14); consisting in establishing for the printer (15) the number of print positions in each line, transferring to the printer (15) header data including field names and maximum field width, starting another print line whenever the next field name exceed the number of print positions remaining in the line until the header data has been transferred, storing print position data identifying where each field begins, and transferring to the printer (15) a control character prior to the transfer of each record. Column to cause the data associated therewith to be aligned with the start of its corresponding field name.

Abstract: An improved method is disclosed for providing to the operator of an interactive text processing system a displayed summary confirming the effect of requested changes to the field order in an existing file of spatially related data stored in the system prior to creation of new file. The method involves simultaneously displaying to the operator on one screen the header portions of the existing source file and of the destination file, and causing the data in predetermined fields of each header to be displayed in a manner which is different than the manner in which the data in the remaining fields of said headers is displayed, so as to manifest to the operator similar treatment by the system of the data in both headers which is similarly displayed. The header portion of the source file is displayed such that those fields which are not to be copied into the destination file are reverse video displayed, while those fields which are to be copied to the destination file are in normal display. The resulting display then provides the opportunity for the operator to confirm the correctness of the interactively entered instructions prior to actual creation of the new file.

Abstract: The present method assists the operator in entering interactively selection criteria to be used in selecting records from the existing file. The method involves displaying to the operator the header portion of the existing file, along with a predetermined number of "qualifying rows" in response to the operator having identified to the system the task to be accomplished and the name and the location of the existing file in the system. The method further involves movement of the cursor vertically and horizontally to row and column positions for entering of the selection criteria. After entering criteria into the displayed rows, the next operation of the cursor down key while in the last row is interpreted as an instruction to the system to add an additional row so that another "logical OR" selection criteria can be added to the previous criteria.

Abstract: Method of storing and recalling setups in a word processing system consisting in selecting a specified task to be performed on a file from the task menu, displaying the current frame for the task specified to the operator, requesting information about a previous file setup stored on a storage medium from the frame displayed, interrogating said stored information requested to determine positively or negatively whether the previous setup contained frames in the hierarchy of the current frame; and if the result is positive copying the stored information into frames in the hierarchy of the current frame to produce an updated setup of restored frames.

Abstract: The system stores and displays data in a table format (14), each portion of data being identified by a record and a field (20-36). When used in an entry edit mode, the data is entered or edited by an operator through a "keyboard". When used in a record selection mode, the system permits, by inputting information keystroke representing a comparison operator and data representing a field value and positioning the cursor within a preselected field (32) of the table format (14), to compare the data stored within the preselected field (32) of each record to the field value in the manner required by the comparator operator.

Abstract: The operator inputs commands to the keyboard (18) for reading a record from storage (14) and displaying it on the screen (16). The content of the fields in the record are displayed on the screen (16) except for the text fields. The operator selects a text field by positioning a cursor and then inputting a down cursor command. In response to the down cursor command the terminal (12) opens a text window on the screen (16) and displays the corresponding text field on the lower portion (16b) of the screen (16). The operator is then free to edit the text. After completion of the editing the operator enters a command to incorporate the edited text field with the selected record. The record with the edited text field can then be returned to the file in the storage (14).
