• Page Numbering The Catnumbers andends pages automatically while you are typing. Page numbering andpage endings are updated when text is erased or inserted.

• Canon Cat, The Cat finds fields by countingleld separators, which are tabs or break characters. If the record is made up of fields separated by tabs (whether or not the record is a line of tabbed columns), the first field is whatever appears at the beginning of the line, the second field is after the first tab, the third field is after the second tab, and so on. The Cat counts tabs and breaks, ignoring the position of the field on the screen. In other words fields do not have to be aligned in columns. You can have an unlimited number of fields within records.Spaces do not separate fields. "Al Xanadu&quo

• Canon Cat, When [LOGAL LEAP] is on, the initial and final document characters in the local region cannot be erased. The cursor cannot be narrow on the initial document character in the local region or wide on the final document character in the region. This is exactly the way the cursor acts with the initial and final document characten when global leap is on. UNDO and the LOCAL LEAP Command [UNDO] retums the Cat to the state it was in before you used the comniand. Repeated use of [UNDO] switches you back and forth between local and global.

• Canon Cat, After the screen goes dark, a small Canon Cat sign remains on-screen, moving from place to place so that you can tell the power is still on, and the Cat is only napping. Movement makes the sign easier to see and prevents screen burn. Copy Up Copy up allows you to move text from one disk to another. The procedure for copying up text from Disk A to Disk B is as follows: -Record the text on Disk A. Now the text is clean (the cursor is happy). - Highlight the text you want to move to the other disk. -Take out Disk A and insert Disk B

Creeping can be used to adjust the size of the extended
