The use of the RESUME program by the students at the school enables the school to assemble a collection of resumes which all share a common format. The students, however, retain all of the flexibility in the wording of their resumes and much of the flexibility in style that they would have if they were composing their resumes on a typewriter. .skip.test page 3 The students use the RESUME program to type in the contents of their resumes, and then to check and to revise them. Although the resumes could be composed while the students are using the program, the students' time spent on the computer will be more effective if rough drafts of the resumes are composed before the students use the program the first time. Each student can use the program many times to revise his or her resume until it is satisfactory to the student. Each time that the program is used, the resume belonging to the student running the program will be picked up as it was last left. Each student must then use the program a final time to submit the finished resume for inclusion in the collection being assembled by the school. .skip.test page 3 The RESUME program is meant to be usable even by students who do not have any previous computer experience. The first time that a student runs the program, it will ask for the student's name and address, and then will ask for the student to add to a standardized EDUCATION section. Along the way, the student will be told about the various conventions which the program expects, such as how to indicate blank lines and dates which are to appear along the left edge of the page. If the student does not know what to do at any point while using the program, the student can always get detailed instructions by pressing the _? key without typing anything else before it, and then by pressing the RETURN key. .skip.test page 3 The student's name will be the first thing that the program will ask for that will actually appear in the resume. The name should be typed using all capital letters. The RETURN key must be pressed after the name has been typed in. Likewise the RETURN key must be pressed after the student has typed any of the other things that the program asks for. When the program asks for the local address, only the words which are to appear on the first line of the address should be typed. The program will then ask for the contents of each the following lines of the address in turn. The RETURN key must be pressed an extra time when the address has been completed. The program will finally ask for the student's phone number. The program can also accept a permanent address and phone number. .skip.test page 3 Each resume must fit onto a single page. The student's name, address and phone number will appear at the top of the resume. If both a local address and a permanent address are specified, then the permanent address will appear to the right of the local address. The resume will be divided into sections with lines being ruled between these sections. The descriptive text in the resume will start a couple of inches to the right of the left edge of the page so that section names and date ranges can appear along the left edge. The name at the top of the resume and the section names along the left edge will automatically appear in dark, bold lettering. All other words which are to be darkened or underlined will have to be specially marked. It is suggested that school and company names be entirely capitalized and darkened, and that employment titles be underlined. .skip.test page 3 The initial contents of the first few lines in the EDUCATION section will be identical for every student in the class, although the students can individually change the contents of these lines later. After the program has displayed the standard lines, the program will ask for any additional information which is to appear in the EDUCATION section. The program will not ask for any specific information for the EDUCATION section or for any of the later sections. It will be up to the student to decide what information is to be included. When everything which is to appear in the EDUCATION section has been typed in, or if the student desires to add to the EDUCATION section later rather than now, then the RETURN key should be pressed an extra time to signal to the program that the entry of this section is complete for the time being. .skip.test page 3 When the EDUCATION section has been finished, the program will ask "WHAT NEXT?" A list of the many options which are available can be obtained by pressing the _? key and then the RETURN key when this question is asked. These options are selected by typing single English language words. Among the options which are available, the word EDIT can be typed to edit individual lines in the resume, the word APPEND can be typed to append to a section, the word CREATE can be typed to create a new section, the word DRAFT can be typed to display the resume as the student typed it in and the word PROOF can be typed to display the resume as it would appear when typed with the proper margins. There are many other options. These are described in detail later in this guide. After each of the operations which is requested by the student has been completed, the program will again ask the "WHAT NEXT?" question. .skip.test page 3 The word EXIT can be typed in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to exit from the program, saving the current version of the resume. The program can then be run again later to further revise the resume. Finally, when a satisfactory version of the resume has been obtained, the word SUBMIT should be typed in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question. This indicates that the resume is ready to be included in the collection of resumes. The resume cannot be changed after it has been submitted. If the program is run after the resume has been submitted, then the only function which it will perform is the production of a file which can be typed or printed to obtain a paper copy of the final version of the resume. The resume should not be submitted unless it has been checked carefully. However, if a resume has been submitted but an error is discovered in the resume before the deadline for the submission of all of the resumes, then the RESUME program administrator can be asked to make the resume available for further revisions. The resume will have to be submitted again if this is done. .skip.test page 3 Only one terminal should be used at any one time to edit a particular resume. If a single resume is being edited simultaneously from more than one terminal, then the version of the resume which is shown on the terminal which exits last will be the version which is saved. .page.nofill .rtt'List of the Major Commands',,'>' LIST OF THE MAJOR COMMANDS The commands which can be given in response to "WHAT NEXT?"

The sample at the end of this manual is meant to demonstrate the capabilities of the program and should not be used as a style guide. .skip.test page In general, the resume is divided into sections, one for education, another for experience, and so on. The student selects the labels for these sections. These labels will appear in bold lettering at the upper left corners of the sections. Lines are drawn across the width of the resumes between the various sections. Most of the text will start 2 inches in from the left edge of the page. Only dates and short annotations can appear all the way to the left edge. .skip An initial draft of the resume should be prepared before the RESUME program is first used to enter the text of the resume into the computer. The RESUME program has extensive editing and proofing capabilities, but making extensive changes after the text of the resume has been entered into the computer is tedious. The initial draft should be marked according to the following rules to obtain a guide to what must actually be typed into the computer in order to obtain the desired results. These rules are simple. Margins, bolding and underlining are indicated by inserting asterisks, circumflexes and underscores, respectively, at the left ends of the words involved. .skip.test page 3.indent -3 1.##Put an asterisk in each line which is to be blank in the resume. .skip.test page 3.indent -3 2.##Put an asterisk to the right of a date or word or short phrase which is to appear at the left edge of the resume. There are exactly 20 columns between the left edge of the paper and the left edge of the descriptive text. .skip.test page 3.indent -3 3.##Put an asterisk at the left end of each line which starts with a word which must likewise start a new line in the resume. If a line does not start with an asterisk (or a minus sign as described below), then the words on that line can be moved to the right end of the previous line to fill out the line. .skip.test page 3.indent -3 4.##Put a minus sign at the left end of each line which is to bear a bullet in the resume. If a date is to appear to the left, then the required order is date first, then asterisk followed finally by the minus sign. Since the type style used does not include an actual bullet character, the minus sign will appear in the resulting resume at the start of the line. The margin will be shifted 2 columns to the right. .skip.test page 3.indent -3 5.##Put a circumflex (or up arrow or carat sign) before each word which is to be darkened or bold in the resume. If an asterisk or the minus sign which indicates a bullet appears to the left of the word, then the circumflex must appear between the asterisk or minus sign and the word. The circumflex does not replace the space to the left of the word. If the word being darkened is not the leftmost word on the line, then a space must still appear between the preceding word and the circumflex. The same word cannot be both darkened and underlined. .skip.test page 3.indent -3 6.##Put an underscore (or left arrow) before each word which is to be underlined in the resume. If an asterisk or a minus sign which indicates a bullet appears to the left of the word, then the underscore must appear between the asterisk or minus sign and the word. The underscore does not replace the space to the left of the word. If the word being underlined is not the leftmost word on the line, then a space must still appear between the preceding word and the underscore. .skip.test page 3.indent -3 7.##When the text is typed into the computer, discard leading spaces and all but 1 of adjacent spaces. .left margin 0 .skip.test page 3 For example, the initial draft might contain the following text. .skip.nofill.test page 11 1970-1981 HEALTH DEPARTMENT Linden, New Jersey Dog Catcher Working in a department of 13 and 7/11ths people, I chased stray dogs and enforced the "Clean up after your pet" law. - In 1 day, I personally caught 2 beagles and 1 spaniel. - Was responsible for an increase in the quality of life for Linden's cats. 1969 JAKE'S PIZZA Elizabeth, New Jersey Cook Part-time position. .skip.fill.test page 3 Marking the above text would produce the following guide to what would have to be typed into the computer to obtain the desired results.

Students who do not already have accounts on the DECsystem20 will share a single account with others in their own class. This shared account should not be used for any purposes other than the production of the resumes. Students who have individual accounts on the DECsystem20 can use either their own accounts or the shared account. However, the same account must be used to revise each resume as was used to enter the initial version of the resume. .skip.test page 3 The shared accounts will be named S.RESUME.XX where the XX stands for the right 2 digits in the student's expected year of graduation. The password for this account will be the full 4 digit year of graduation. A student in the class of 1985 would use the account named S.RESUME.85 and the password for this account would be 1985. .skip To use the computer, go to room B51 below the hall of mirrors and select a terminal which is not in use. .left margin 1.list .list element Flick the switch on the blue box down, then up. .list element If an at sign character (the @) does not appear at the upper left corner of the screen, press the RETURN key a few times. .list element If, instead of showing an @ sign, the terminal asks for a class number, respond by typing 24 and then press the RETURN key.

The password identifies which of the existing resumes can be modified by the student using the password. .skip.test page 3 The passwords accepted by the program either can be selected by the students the first time that the students run the program, or can be assigned to the students by the RESUME program administrator. Currently the students select their own passwords. However, both schemes are described here because the passwords might be assigned by the administrator during future interview seasons. .skip.test page 3 If the passwords are being selected by the students themselves, then each student should select a password which consists of a word or a short phrase which will not easily be guessed by anyone else who will be running the program. The student will be asked to specify this password each time that the program is used. If the password typed by the student has been used before, then the student will gain access to the corresponding resume and will be able to modify it. If the password is not in use, then a new resume will be started which can be modified in the future by the use of this password. The password which is selected by the student is not related to and does not depend upon the password which the student used to gain access to the account from which the program is being run. .skip.test page 3 The password must be formed from the alphabetic letters A through Z, the digits 0 through 9 and the spaces which appear between words. No other characters are allowed. The word or phrase can contain up to 20 characters, counting the separations between the words of a phrase as 1 character each. The password "I AM THE BEST OF ALL" would be of the maximum length and would be considered different than the passwords "I AM THE BEST" or "I AM BEST OF ALL". .skip.test page 3 If the student has used the program before, and merely wants to review or modify the resume, then the student must type the word or the phrase which was specified when the resume was first entered. However, the cases of the alphabetic letters A through Z which were originally used in specifying the word or phrase do not have to be matched. Capital alphabetic letters can be typed where small letters were originally specified, and vice versa. The student will have to contact the RESUME program administrator if the original password has been forgotten. .skip.test page 3 If the student has been assigned a number and an associated password by the administrator, then both the number and the password must be typed to gain access to the program. The program will ask for the number first. The password can be typed to the right of the number on the same line. If the password is not typed on the same line, then the program will ask for the password to be typed on the next line. The password can by typed using either capital letters or small letters. Both the number and the password are needed to run the program. Anyone who has not been assigned a number and a password, or who has forgotten either the number or the password, will not be able to run the program. The student will have to contact the RESUME program administrator if either the number or password has been forgotten. .skip 2.test page 6.fill.left margin 0 .rtt'Entering the Student''s Name and Address',,'>' .center ENTERING THE STUDENT'S NAME AND ADDRESS .center -------- --- --------- ---- --- ------- .skip.test page 3 The student's name will be the first thing that the program will ask for that will actually appear in the resume. The name will appear in dark letters at the top of the resume exactly as the student types it. All of the letters in the name should be capitalized so that the name stands out even more. However, for a last name which consists of 2 words, the first of which is a short prefix, or for a last name which is usually typed with a capital letter in the middle of the name, the first word or the portion before the embedded capital letter should probably be typed with small letters where these conventionally are used. Gerry McDonald would be typed GERRY McDONALD with a small letter c. The RETURN key must be pressed after the name has been typed. Likewise, the RETURN key must be pressed after any of the other things that the program asks for. .skip.test page 3 The program will then ask for the student's address. After this address has been completed, the program will ask whether a second address is to be included. If 2 addresses are specified, then the first should be the student's local address, and the second should be the student's permanent address. Most students however, just specify their local addresses for use during the recruiting season. The first address will be lined up with the left edge of the paper when this information is displayed on the terminal or printed using the NARROW format on the fast printer. However, this address will be shifted a couple inches to the right to line up with the left edge of the descriptive text of the resume when the final version of the resume is produced. If 2 addresses are supplied, then the second address will appear to the right of the first although the student will type it separately. .skip.test page 3 Only the leading letters of the words in each address should be capitalized. If the ALPHA LOCK key was pressed to get all capital letters in the name, then this key must be pressed a second time to release it before the address is typed. The program will ask for the student to type each line of the address on a separate line. What is typed here on a single line will remain separate from the other lines. The RETURN key must be pressed after each line is typed. The RETURN key must be pressed an extra time after the last line of the address has been typed. The program will then ask for the student's local phone number. A second phone number can be included by typing it on the next line. The RETURN key must be pressed an extra time after the final phone number has been typed. The program will then ask if a second address is to be included. If the word YES is typed in response to this question, then the program will ask for the lines of this address and for the phone number or phone numbers to be associated with it. .skip.test page 3 Each section of the resume has a name by which it can be selected for later modification. For most sections, these names also appear at the upper left corner of the section in the finished resume. The lines of the name and addresses are stored in sections named NAME for the name, LOCAL for the local or main address and PERMANENT for the permanent or secondary address. These names are, however, invisible. They will not appear in the finished resume. The phone numbers are considered to be part of the addresses, although they are asked for separately. If the student forgets to supply a phone number for the local address, then APPEND LOCAL can be typed in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" request, and the phone number can be typed on a line which is to be appended to this section. If a permanent address is not supplied when the addresses are asked for, but one is later wanted, a section named PERMANENT can be created by typing CREATE PERMANENT in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question. The text which is put into the section containing either address is copied into the resume broken into lines exactly as these lines are typed in. The NAME, LOCAL and PERMANENT sections do not need to be located before the other sections. These sections are always sorted out and printed at the top of the resume. .skip.test page 3 The following is a typical dialog between the program and a student who is entering the text which is to be in the name and address sections. The responses typed by the student are shown to the right of the question marks. Where nothing appears to the right of the question mark which the program typed, the student merely pressed the RETURN key without having typed anything else before it. .skip.test page 19.nofill Type your name as it is to appear at top of resume ?

The "WHAT NEXT?" question is asked after the name, address and education sections have all been entered. The student's name has been placed in a section named NAME. The address which was entered first has been placed in a section named LOCAL and the address entered second into a section named PERMANENT. These section names will not appear in the finished resume. It is required that the student's name and addresses appear in sections having these names. The program recognizes the local address by looking for a section named LOCAL. If the local address appears in a section having any other name, then it cannot be recognized as being the local address and will be included in the body of the resume. However, the names of these sections can either be capitalized or be formed of small letters. .skip.nofill.test page 9 NAME 1 JOHN McSMITH LOCAL 2 220 Shoreline Avenue 3 Fair Haven, CT 06321 4 203 436-1234 PERMANENT 5 281 Main Street 6 Hamden, CT 06544 .fill.skip.test page 3 A PROOF command issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question would cause the name and address section to be displayed as shown below. Since most terminals cannot directly show darkened letters, the program has indicated which letters are to be darkened by pointing to them with circumflex characters (the _^) in the next line. The extra line used for these circumflex characters will not appear in the final printed version of the resume. Also, this extra line will not be included in the length of the resume which is calculated when a LENGTH command is issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question. .skip.nofill.test page 6 JOHN McSMITH _^_^_^_^ _^_^_^_^_^_^_^ 220 Shoreline Avenue 281 Main Street Fair Haven, CT 06321 Hamden, CT 06544 203 436-1234 .fill .skip 2.test page 6.fill.left margin 0 .rtt'Completing the Education Section',,'>' .center COMPLETING THE EDUCATION SECTION .center ---------- --- --------- ------- .skip.test page 3 When the student has finished entering his or her name and address, then the program will ask the student to complete the EDUCATION section of the resume. The first few lines in the EDUCATION section will describe the degree program in which the student is currently enrolled, and will be supplied automatically. These lines will be the same for everyone in the same class. The contents of these initial lines will be displayed and then the program will ask for the student to type in everything else which is to be in the EDUCATION section. If the information in the initial lines is incorrect, for example if a particular student is in a joint degree program or is expecting to graduate in a different year, then this information can be corrected later. The information in the initial lines cannot be corrected now. If the contents of the initial lines are completely inappropriate, then the student should start by typing in what they should contain. The incorrect initial lines can be deleted later. .skip.test page 7 The initial lines which are the same for all of the students in the same class will appear similar to the following when displayed by the program. .skip.nofill.test page 5 EDUCATION _^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^ HAPPY BEVERAGE SCHOOL Allston, Massachusetts _^_^_^_^_^ _^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^ _^_^_^_^_^_^ Candidate for Master in Brewing Arts (MBA), 1985. .SKIP.FILL.test page 3 The lines in the final resumes will be wider than can be shown on the terminal screen, so that fewer lines may be needed for this information in the finished resume. The words which are shown underlined by circumflexes or up arrows will be darker in the final resume than the rest of the text. .skip.test page 3 After displaying some additional information, the program will place a question mark at the left edge of the screen to indicate that the program is ready to accept a line which is to be inserted into the EDUCATION section. The question mark and then the RETURN key should be pressed at this point to get a detailed description of the ways in which the format of the resume can be changed. These instructions can also be obtained later whenever a new section is being created or whenever lines are being appended to an existing section. If anything other than just a question mark is typed before the RETURN key is pressed, then this information will be appended to the EDUCATION section. If only the RETURN key is pressed, then the program will ask if the current section has been completed. Additional lines of text can be appended to the section later even if the student tells the program that yes, the section has been completed. .skip.test page 3 Provided that the standardized lines are nearly correct, the student should type any additional information, such as a description of areas of specialization, which is to be appended to the standardized lines. Then any previous degrees should be described. More recent educational experience should be described first. The lines which the student types will be entered into the resume in the order in which these lines are typed. These lines can be either short or long. If a line is typed which is longer than will fit onto a single line on the screen, then the student should just keep on typing when the blinking cursor returns by itself to the left edge of the screen. If the middle of a word was being typed when the right edge of the screen was reached, then the rest of the word should be typed. If the last character in a word had just been typed when the right edge of the screen was reached, then the space bar should be pressed before the next word just as it would if the word had not extended to the right edge. .skip.test page 3 A phrase or a whole sentence or several sentences can be typed before the RETURN key is pressed. Pressing the RETURN key indicates that the line is finished, and that another will be typed in. It does not, however, indicate that a new line is to begin at this particular spot in the finished resume. The words which are typed in will be collected together to form lines of approximately uniform length in the finished resume. To start a new line in the finished resume, the previous line must be terminated by pressing the RETURN key and then an asterisk or a star character (the *) must be typed at the start of the information which is to be on the new line. If something such as a date is to appear to the left of the left margin, then the asterisk should instead be inserted between the date and the rest of the text on the line. The asterisk, in effect, marks the position of the left margin. If a line does not contain an asterisk, then the words on the line can be wrapped around to fill out whatever was typed before the RETURN key was pressed to end the previous time. A completely blank line will appear in the resume if a line typed by the student contains only an asterisk. .skip.test page 3 A circumflex or up arrow character (the _^) must be typed before each and every word which is to be darkened in the resulting resume. It is not necessary to indicate that the student's name or the section names are to be darkened. An underscore or left arrow character (the __) must be typed before each word which is to be underlined. It is recommended that school names and company names be both darkened and completely capitalized. .skip.test page 3 A typical dialog between a student and the program in which lines were added to the EDUCATION section is shown below. The responses typed by the student appear to the right of the question marks typed by the program. The RETURN key was pressed an extra time at the end to indicate that the section was complete. .skip.nofill.test page 9 ?*Graduated in lower quarter of class. ?Research project in beer identification. ?* ?1980-82*_^NATIONAL _^TYPING _^SCHOOL Correspondence Course ?*Bachelors degree equivalency diploma. ?Straight A (4.0) average on all written exams. ? Have you finished this section? y What next? draft .skip.fill A DRAFT command issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question would list the lines of text as they are shown below. Although no lines in the example are longer than the width of the screen, the program would divide such lines into shorter lines each narrower than the screen and each would have its own line number. These numbers are needed by many of the commands which can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to identify the particular line which is to be manipulated. .skip.test page 9.nofill EDUCATION 7 *_^HAPPY _^BEVERAGE _^SCHOOL Allston, Massachusetts 8 *Candidate for Master in Brewing Arts (MBA), 1985. 9 *Graduated in lower quarter of class. 10 Research project in beer identification. 11 * 12 1980-82*_^NATIONAL _^TYPING _^SCHOOL Correspondence Course 13 *Bachelors degree equivalency diploma. 14 Straight A (4.0) average on all written exams. .fill.skip.test page 3 A PROOF command issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question would display the resume with the words of the text being wrapped around to form lines of approximately equal length, except where the appearance of an asterisk would force a new line. The number of characters which can be displayed across the width of the terminal is less than will appear in each line in the finished resume, so the division of the words into lines will vary. The lines shown above would be displayed by the PROOF command as shown below. However, in this manual most of the displays produced by the PROOF command have been squeezed further to fit a 60 column typed page if necessary, so fewer words are shown here on a line than would actually be shown by the program. .skip.nofill.test page 12 EDUCATION _^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^ HAPPY BEVERAGE SCHOOL Allston, Massachusetts _^_^_^_^_^ _^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^ _^_^_^_^_^_^ Candidate for Master in Brewing Arts (MBA), 1985.

These characters must be entered into the text of the resume and are visible when the DRAFT, TYPE or EDIT commands are issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question. The results of the application of the format changes indicated by these characters are seen, not the characters themselves, when a PROOF or a PAPER command is issued. The following characters are reserved for indicating the format of the resume. .skip.left margin 5.indent -3 *##the asterisk or star character. .skip.test page 3.indent -3 __##the underscore or left arrow.

A single asterisk appearing at the start or within a line, however, indicates that the words on that line do not continue those on the previous lines. The asterisk marks the position of the left margin which is located about 2 inches from the left edge of the page. Whatever appears to the left of the asterisk will extend to the left of the left margin, and whatever appears to the right of the asterisk will be lined up with the left margin. .skip.test page 3 An asterisk followed by a minus sign can appear at the start of or within a line to indicate that whatever appears to the right of the minus sign is to start a new item in a list and is to be marked at its left end with a bullet. The bullet is represented by a hyphen in the finished resume if this is typed, or by a small filled-in circle if this is typeset. The left margin is shifted slightly to the right to allow the bullet to line up with the left edge of the rest of the text in the resume. The leading asterisk is not necessary if nothing other than the bullet is to extend out beyond the left margin. The words on the following lines will continue to be accumulated into lines which are shifted slightly to the right and which are slightly shorter than normal until a subsequent line is found which starts with a minus sign or which contains an unpaired asterisk. .skip.test page 14 For example, the following lines as displayed by the DRAFT command .skip.nofill.test page 9 19 1978-79*Managed fast food stand 20 in Vineyard Haven on Martha's Vineyard 21 1980*-Had part-time job as clerk 22 in hardware store in Woods Hole 23 -Wrote novel which was eventually published 24 by a major paperback publisher 25 *-Sang in barbershop quartet 26 *Returned to school at end of summer 27 to continue work on BS in computer science .fill.skip.test page 14 would be converted into reformatted text similar to that shown below when the PROOF command is issued. .skip.nofill.test page 9 1978-79 Managed fast food stand in Vineyard Haven on Martha's Vineyard 1980 - Had part-time job as clerk in hardware store in Woods Hole - Wrote novel which was eventually published by a major paperback publisher - Sang in barbershop quartet Returned to school at end of summer to continue work on BS in computer science .skip.fill.test page 3 The first line in a section will start on the same line as the section name unless this first line starts with or contains an asterisk. .skip.test page 3 Two minus signs can be inserted at the start of (or after the asterisk in) a line which is to be aligned with the items in a list but which is not to bear a bullet. .skip.test page 3 Three minus signs can be inserted at the start of a line which is to be in an inner list and which is to bear a bullet. .skip.test page 3 Four minus signs can be inserted at the start of a line which is to be aligned with the items in an inner list but which is not to bear a bullet. .skip.test page 3 The name at the top of the resume and the section names which are typed at the upper left corners of the sections will be typed darker than normal. To force any other word or phrase to be typed darker than normal, the word or each word of the phrase can be preceded by a circumflex or an up arrow character (the _^). Similarly, to force a word or a phrase to be underlined when it is typed, the word or each word in the phrase can be preceded with an underscore or left arrow (the __). These characters should be obtained by using the keys on the main keyboard, not the leftward pointing arrow key or the upward pointing arrow key, the cursor keys, on the small keyboard to the right of the main keyboard. A second appearance of the circumflex or of the underscore can appear within a word to cause the remainder of the word to be typed in the normal fashion after the preceding portion of the word has been typed either darker than normal or underlined respectively. The same word cannot be both darkened and underlined. .skip.test page 5 As an example of the use of these special characters, the following lines of text in the resume .skip .nofill.test page 2 1975-1976*_^Sixth _^Universal _^Bank New York, New York *Promoted from __Janitor to __Vice __President .skip .fill.test page 3 would cause the year range to appear at the left edge of the page, would cause the bank name to be typed darker than normal and would underline the position titles on the next line. .skip.test page 3 To right justify a phrase in a line which is to be typed on the letter quality typewriter, 2 asterisks (**) would be inserted between the text which is to be flush with the left margin and the text which is to be flush with the right margin. The ** does not itself cause the line in which it appears to start a new line in the finished resume. If the line containing the ** is to start a new line, then either a single * must appear somewhere to the left of the ** or a - must appear at the start of the line. The ** also does not cause the next line to start a new line in the finished resume. Instead, the words which can fit onto the line are assembled, then whatever happens to be to the right of the position occupied by the ** is shifted to the right. If, as is likely, the next line is to start a new line, then either a * or a - must appear at the start of the next line. The ** is taken to be equivalent to a single space if and when the finished resume is typeset. .skip.test page 5 For example, the following lines of text .skip.nofill.test page 3 1978*_^Little _^Bank _^and _^Trust _^Company**New York *__Teller *Responsible for the handling of many cents each day .skip.fill would produce the following lines in the resume. .skip.nofill.test page 3 1978 Little Bank and Trust Company New York ^&Teller\& Responsible for the handling of many cents each day .skip.fill in which the company name would be darkened and the job title underlined. Since the terminal which is being used to input the contents of the resume probably cannot itself display darkened or underlined characters, such specially modified characters are instead indicated when a proof of the resume is displayed on the terminal by their being underlined with circumflexs or underscores, respectively, on the next line. Each of the specially modified characters is underlined although each word only had to be marked once when it was typed in originally. The otherwise blank line which is used to mark the characters which are to be darkened or underlined will not appear when the resume is finally typed or typeset. .skip.test page 8 The example shown earlier would be displayed on the terminal in the following manner: .nofill.skip.test page 5 1978 Little Bank and Trust Company New York _^_^_^_^_^_^ _^_^_^_^ _^_^_^ _^_^_^_^_^ _^_^_^_^_^_^_^ Teller ____________ Responsible for the handling of many cents each day .fill .skip.test page 3 (For those who might wonder why the ** cannot automatically cause the line in which it appears to be separate from the lines on either side, the reason is that the ** would usually appear rather far to the right on the line in which it is originally typed. This program breaks long input lines into shorter lines that can each be displayed together with a line number on a single line on the terminal. If the program had to break the line containing the ** but every line containing a ** were to be kept separate, then the short section containing the ** would be kept separate from the rest of the line of which it originally was a part.) .skip 2.left margin 0.fill.test page 6 .rtt'The "WHAT NEXT?" Question',,'>' .CENTER THE "WHAT NEXT?" QUESTION .center --- ---- ----- -------- .skip.test page 3 When everything which is to appear in the EDUCATION section has been entered, then the RETURN key should be pressed an extra time to signal to the program that nothing more is to be added to this section. More can be added later, however. The program will then ask "WHAT NEXT?" If this is not the first time that the program has been used for the current resume, then the program will ask the "WHAT NEXT?" question at the start rather than asking for name, address and education. The responses to the "WHAT NEXT?" question are all short english language words. These words select the various functions which the program can perform. The program will again ask the "WHAT NEXT?" question after each newly requested action has been completed. The "WHAT NEXT?" question will, of course, not be asked if the program has been instructed to save the current version of the resume and then to stop. The question mark key and then the RETURN key can be pressed in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to obtain a list of the possible responses. .skip.test page 3 For most of the commands which can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question, the entire word does not need to be typed. Only enough of the word is needed to unambiguously identify the command from all others. The TYPE command is the only command which starts with the letter T, so the TYPE command can be selected by any of the abbreviations T, TY, TYP or TYPE. The SUBMIT and CANCEL commands are considered important enough, however, that these commands must be spelled out completely. In addition, the program will ask for confirmation that yes, these are really the operations which are desired. .skip.test page 3 Many of the commands which can be selected in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question require that a section be identified by name or that a line be identified by number. If the RETURN key is pressed immediately after the command, then the program will ask for the line number or for the section name. The line number or section name can also be typed to the right of the command. .skip.test page 3 To select a section which already exists, it is only necessary to type enough letters at the start of the name to unambiguously identify the section name from all others. For example, the letters ED would select the EDUCATION section, provided that no other section has been created which starts with the letter E followed by the letter D. The capitalization of the section name is ignored when an existing section is being selected. The letters E and D could both be capitals or could both be small letters or one could be a capital and the other a small letter. However, when a new section is being created or when an existing section is being renamed, capital letters must be typed only where capital letters are to appear in the new section name. If a section has been assigned a name which is spelled incorrectly or in which the capitalization is inconsistent with the rest of resume, then a RENAME command can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to change the name of the section. A section name can consist of just one word or of several words. .skip.test page 3 The DRAFT command can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to obtain the number associated with the line which is to be modified. Since the program may have to fill the screen several times before it gets to the desired line, the display can be restricted to the section which contains the line by typing the word ONLY in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question, and then by naming the section which is to be the only section displayed by the DRAFT and PROOF commands. Each line which is entered into the resume is assigned a line number. If a line is entered which is longer than the width of the screen of the terminal, then this line will be split into smaller pieces each shorter than the width of the screen, and each piece will be assigned a line number. .skip.test page 3 Numbers are assigned to the lines in the order in which these lines were entered. The line numbers stay the same during a particular run of the program. If a command issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question inserts a new line between existing lines, then the new line is assigned a number just greater than the largest line number currently in use even though this means that there is a discontinuity in the line numbers. Likewise, deleting a line leaves a gap in the line numbering sequence. The original line numbers are retained because the line numbers tend to be associated with particular lines. Having the number 10 point to a particular line for awhile but later to another would lead to confusion. However, each time the program is run, the line numbers are reassigned starting at 1 and incremented by 1 for each line, since it is assumed that enough time has passed that the original association between the numbers and the lines will have been forgotten. .skip.test page 6 The following commands can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question. .LEFT MARGIN 8 .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 AFTER###and a line number to insert a new line after the indicated line. The BEFORE command can be used to insert a new line before an existing line. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 ALL#####so that the DRAFT and PROOF commands will display all sections. The ONLY command can be used later to select the display of a particular section. Also, if any other command is issued which references a particular section, then the DRAFT and PROFF commands will only display that section. For example, if the CREATE command is used to create a new section or if an APPEND command is used to append to an existing section, then these become the selected sections. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 APPEND##and a section name to append several new lines to the end of an existing section. The CREATE command should be used instead to create an entirely new section. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 BEFORE##and a line number to insert a new line before the indicated line. The AFTER command can be used to insert a new line after an existing line. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 BREAK###and a line number to specify that the words on the indicated line are not to be placed to the right of those on the line preceding it. The BULLET command should be used if the line is to start with a bullet. The BREAK command inserts an asterisk at the start of the line and the BULLET command inserts a minus sign. These characters could also be inserted explicitly by use of the EDIT command. Any asterisk or minus sign already at the start of the line is removed. The EDIT command can also be used to split an existing line. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 BULLET##and a line number to cause the indicated line to begin with a bullet. This inserts a minus sign at the start of the line. Any asterisk or minus sign already at the start of the line is removed. The minus sign could also be inserted explicitly by the use of the EDIT command. The EDIT command can also be used to split an existing line, inserting a bullet at the break. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 CANCEL##to cancel the current resume and then to start over. Everything currently in the resume will be lost and the program will again ask for name, address and education, exactly as if the program had been run the first time. The CANCEL command cannot be abbreviated. The word CANCEL must be spelled out in its entirety. To further insure that this command is not issued by accident, the program will warn of the consequences of proceeding with this command. The program will then ask for confirmation that yes, the current resume is really to be cancelled. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 CREATE##and a new section name to create a new section having the indicated name. The section name should be entirely capitalized. The RENAME command can be used later to change the spelling or the capitalization of the section name. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 DELETE##and a line number to delete the indicated line. The current contents of the line will be displayed. The program will ask for confirmation that yes, this line is really to be deleted. The line number will not be reused until the next time that the program is run. The REPLACE command can be used instead to replace the entire contents of an existing line retaining the original line number. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 DRAFT###to display the current section or the entire resume as it was originally entered. A line number will appear to the left of each line. Only the words which were typed together on the same line, i.e_. before the RETURN key was pressed, will be shown together. Long lines will usually be shown divided up into shorter ones each with its own line number. Asterisks, minus signs, circumflexes and underscores will all be shown where these appear in the text. If an ALL command has been issued recently, then the entire resume will be displayed. If an ONLY command or any other command which references a single section has been issued more recently than an ALL command, then only the single section will be displayed. The PROOF command can be issued instead to display the finished resume but with slightly shorter lines than will be used in the typed or printed version of the resume. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 EDIT####and a line number to change part of the indicated line. The REPLACE command should be used instead if the contents of the entire line are to be replaced. The EDIT command can be used to insert, delete, capitalize, darken or underline a single character, a word or an entire phrase. The program will display the contents of the line and will ask for the character, word or phrase which is to be modified or which appears where the insertion is to be made. The program will then search for the leftmost appearance of the character, word or phrase in the line. The line will be displayed again with the item which was found being marked. The program will ask how this item is to be modified. If the character, word or phrase appears more than once in the line and the appearance which was found is not the proper one, then these appearances must be stepped through in turn until the proper appearance is reached. There are many editing capabilities. These are described in detail in a later section of this manual. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 EXIT####to save the current version of the resume, and then to exit from the program. This program can be run again later to revise the resume. In order to have the resume be included in the final collection of resumes being assembled by the school, the program must be run again and the SUBMIT command must be issued to indicate that the resume has been finished. Once the SUBMIT command has been issued, the resume cannot be revised further. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 JOIN####and a line number to specify that the words on the indicated line can be placed to the right of those on the line preceding it. The JOIN command removes the asterisk or the minus sign from the start of the line. It cannot be used to remove an asterisk which appears to the right of a date or other item which is to appear to the left of the left margin. The EDIT command can be used to explicitly remove any of these characters. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 LENGTH##to calculate the length of the finished resume. If the resume is to be restricted to a single page, then the number of lines which are required will be reported. If the resume is allowed to continue onto following pages, then both the total number of pages required and the number of lines on the final page will be reported. The number of characters on a line and the maximum number of lines per page will vary depending upon whether the final resumes are being typed or typeset. Both the actual length and the maximum allowed length will be reported. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3 If the final resume collection will be typed on the letter quality typewriter, then the LENGTH command also checks whether the resume contains any unavailable characters. The letter quality typewriter which is used to type the final resume collection cannot produce all of the characters which can be shown on the video terminals. The characters which are unavailable include the following: .nofill.skip.test page 5 The left square bracket _[ The right square bracket _] The left brace _{ The right brace _} The less than sign _< The greater than sign _> The accent grave _` The tilde _~ The reverse slash _\ The vertical bar _| .fill .skip.test page 3 The SUBMIT command cannot successfully indicate that the resume is ready to be included in the resume collection if the resume is too long or if it contains any unavailable characters. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 MOVE####and a section name to move the indicated section to a location before another section. The name of the second section must be specified on a separate line since such section names can consist of more than just a single word. The sections will appear in the finished resume in the order in which the sections are shown by the DRAFT and PROOF commands. However, the sections having the names NAME, LOCAL and PERMANENT are assumed to contain the name, local address and permanent address respectively, and are printed at the top of the finished resume regardless of the location of these sections relative to the other sections and regardless of their locations relative to each other. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 ONLY####and a section name so that the DRAFT and PROOF commands will show only the indicated section. Any other command which references a single section will also cause the DRAFT and PROOF commands to only show the indicated section. An ALL command can be used later so that the DRAFT and PROOF commands will show the entire resume. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 PAPER###to write the current version of the resume to a file which can be typed or printed later, and then to exit from the program. The file is expendable, and can be modified or deleted without altering the program's own record of what is contained in the resume. The program can be run again later to revise the resume. .skip.test page 3 The program will ask which of several formats is desired. The format which should be selected will depend upon the type of terminal or printer which will be used to display the current version of the resume, and whether the final resume collection will be typed or typeset. When the program asks for the format, pressing only the RETURN key can be used to cause the PAPER command to not be acted upon, and to cause the "WHAT NEXT?" question to be asked again. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 PROOF###to display a formatted version of the current section or of the entire resume. The lines will be shorter than in the final resume, however, since the computer terminal cannot show as many characters across the width of a page as will appear in the final copies of the resumes. The entire resume will be displayed if an ALL command has been issued recently. Only a single section will be displayed if an ONLY command or any command which references a single section has been issued more recently than an ALL command. The DRAFT command can be used instead to display the original contents of the lines in the resume or in a section of the resume. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 RENAME##and a section name to change the name of the indicated section. The program will ask for the new section name to be specified on a separate line. The RENAME command can be used to correct the spelling or capitalization of a section name or to change the section name to something entirely different. The new section name will include capital (upper case) letters only where capital letters are explicitly typed. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 REPLACE#and a line number to replace the entire contents of an existing line. The former contents of the line will be displayed first. The program will ask for confirmation that yes, this line is really to be replaced. The program will then ask what the line is to contain instead. The new contents of the line can be longer than the width of the screen. Whatever is typed before the RETURN key is pressed replaces the former contents of the line. If a long line is typed, then this line will be divided into shorter lines in the draft of the resume, and each of these portions will be assigned its own line number. The REPLACE command cannot be used to delete a line. The DELETE command should be used instead if the line is to be deleted. If only the RETURN key is pressed when the program asks for the new contents of the line, then the REPLACE command is not acted upon. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 RULE####and a new section name to create a section having this name from the lower portion of an existing section. The program will then ask for the number of the line which is to be the first line of the new section. The line number cannot be typed to the right of the section name since the section name could itself contain a number. The name of the new section can consist of 1 or of several words. As is the case with the new section names assigned by the CREATE and RENAME commands, the name of the new section will be capitalized only where capital letters are typed. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 SAVE####to save the current version of the resume, but not exit from the program. Additional revisions can still be made to the resume. Issuing the SAVE command assures that the changes made to the resume prior to the issuing of the SAVE command will be retained even if the computer system should happen to die. It is suggested that a current version of the resume should be saved every 15 or 20 minutes. Even if a SAVE command is not explicitly issued, the current version of the resume will be saved whenever approximately 33 lines have been inserted or replaced, or whenever approximately 100 changes have been made to existing lines. The PAPER and the EXIT commands also save the current version of the resume, but the program then stops. If the PAPER command is issued, the program also writes a file into the local disk area which contains an expendable copy of the resume which can be printed on the fast printer or typed on the letter quality typewriter. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 SKIP####and a line number to cause a blank line to appear in the resulting resume above the indicated line. This merely inserts an extra line which contains only an asterisk into the rough form of resume. The BEFORE command could also be used to insert a line containing only an asterisk. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 SUBMIT##to indicate that the current version of the resume is ready to be included in the collection of resumes being assembled by the school. The SUBMIT command cannot be abbreviated. The word SUBMIT must be spelled out in its entirety. To further insure that this command is not issued by accident, the program will warn of the consequences of proceeding with this command. The program will ask for confirmation that yes, the resume really is finished and is ready to be included in the resume collection. .skip.test page 3 The program will not allow the resume to be submitted if the resume is too long or if it contains characters which are not available on the device upon which the final version of the resume collection will be produced. The LENGTH command can also be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to check whether these requirements are met. The description of the LENGTH command should be consulted for further information. .skip.test page 3 After the SUBMIT command has been issued successfully, the resume cannot be changed further. If the RESUME program is run again after the resume has been submitted, then the program will allow the writing of a copy of the resume into a file which can be printed or typed, but the resume cannot be revised further. If an error is discovered in a submitted resume before the deadline for the submission of all resumes, then the RESUME program administrator will have to be asked to allow further revisions of the resume. However, the resume would then have to be submitted again in order to be included in the resume collection. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 SWITCH##and 3 line numbers to move several lines within a section. Only the first line number can appear to the right of the SWITCH command. The others must be typed separately. The lines identified by the first and second numbers are moved to just above the line identified by the third number. The first number identifies the top line to be moved. The second number identifies the bottom line to be moved. The first and second number would be the same if only 1 line is to be moved. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3 The easiest procedure to insert several lines into the middle of a section is to use the APPEND command to append them to the end of the section. Then the DRAFT command can be used to find the numbers of the top and bottom lines and the number of the line before which these line are to be placed. Finally, the SWITCH command can be used to rearrange the lines. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 TYPE####and a line number to display the indicated line on the terminal. Most commands which modify particular lines or do something relative to a particular line also display the line and ask for confirmation that the displayed line is the line actually meant. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 UNRULE##and a section name to merge the indicated section with the preceding section. The RULE command can later be used to split the sections apart again. .left margin 0.skip 2.test page 6 .rtt'Correcting Errors',,'>' .center CORRECTING ERRORS .center ---------- ------ .skip If an error is detected in a line as it is being typed in on the terminal, the key which is marked either DEL or RUBOUT can be used to erase the characters to the right of the error and then to erase the error itself. Each time that this key is pressed, one more character will be erased. When the error itself has disappeared, the correction and the rest of the line can be typed again. Errors CANNOT be corrected by the use of the cursor keys (those marked with arrows) or with the BACKSPACE key. In particular, the cursor keys and the BACKSPACE key cannot be used to return to and correct errors in lines which appear on the screen above the line which is currently being typed in on the terminal. This program is not a video editor which would allow an active cursor to be moved around the screen. This program instead processes each line when the RETURN key is pressed. Although the previous dialog between the student and the program remains visible for awhile on the screen, the previous lines cannot be changed by typing over them. .skip If the RETURN key has already been pressed, or if more has been typed than will fit across the width of the screen, then the entry of the text into the section must be finished before the error can be corrected. At that time, a DRAFT command can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" request to discover the number of the line in error. If the contents of the line are completely wrong, then the entire line should be replaced. This can be requested by typing the word REPLACE followed by the line number in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question. The program will then ask for the new contents of the line. .skip.test page 3 If the contents of the line are largely correct, then just the portion which is in error should be modified. This can be requested by typing the EDIT command followed by the line number. Once the EDIT command has been issued, several modifications can be performed in turn on the selected line. After each modification has been completed, the program will ask if the editing of the line has been completed. However, to modify some other line, the EDIT command would have to be selected again in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question. .skip.test page 3 The EDIT command searches for a sequence of characters selected by the student, and then either modifies this sequence of characters or performs some operation adjacent to the sequence of characters. The item which is searched for can appear within a word or can consist of a sequence of words. The cases of alphabetic letters are ignored in finding the characters. The student can type all capital letters or all small letters and still match the sequence of the same letters in the line. The student usually does not need to type underscores and circumflexes which appear in the line. However, underscores and circumflexes which appear at unusual locations, for example at the right ends of words, sometimes have to be explicitly typed in order to be matched. .skip.test page 3 The EDIT command can be used to perform any of the following operations. .left margin 5 .skip.test page 3.indent -4 1.##Deletion of an item. .skip.test page 3.indent -4 2.##Replacement of an item by something else. To insert a space in "thejob", search for ej without the space and replace it by e j with the space. .skip.test page 3.indent -4 3.##Conversion of an item to upper case or to lower case or capitalization of only the first letter in each word in an item. .skip.test page 3.indent -4 4.##Causing an item to be darker than normal, to be underlined or causing an item to be typed normally without darkening and without underlining. .skip.test page 3.indent -4 5.##Insertion of a word or a phrase either to the left or to the right of an item. .skip.test page 3.indent -4 6.##Attachment of a letter or a sequence of letters either to the left end or to the right end of an item. .skip.test page 3.indent -4 7.##Insertion of a space to the left of an item, but not to its right. To insert a space in "thejob", search for the word job. .skip.test page 3.indent -4 8.##Causing an item to begin a new line in the resulting document. Optionally, the new line can begin with a bullet. .skip.test page 3.indent -4 9.##Searching for the next occurrence of an item on the same line. .left margin 0.skip When the item has been located, the program will display the entire line containing the item. The item just found will be marked by being underlined with plus signs in an extra, otherwise blank line which will be displayed below the line containing the item. The program will then ask "EDIT HOW?" to determine how the item is to be modified. The possible responses to this question are all short English language words. Where similar operations can be performed both in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question and in response to the "EDIT HOW?" question, the same command words have been chosen for both sets of commands. The RETURN key can be pressed without typing anything else if the item is not to be modified. .skip.test page 6 The commands which can be issued in response to the "EDIT HOW?" question are listed below. .LEFT MARGIN 8 .skip.test page 3.indent -8 AFTER###to insert a word or a phrase to the right of the item just found. The program will ask if the item just found is to be attached or separate from the text which is to be inserted. The program will then ask for the text which is to be inserted. If the item is to be separate, then a space will be inserted between the item just found and the inserted text. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 BEFORE##to insert a word or a phrase to the left of the item just found. The program will ask if the item just found is to be attached or separate from the text which is to be inserted. The program will then ask for the text which is to be inserted. If the item is to be separate, then a space will be inserted between the inserted text and the item just found. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 BOLD####to insert a circumflex at the start of a word or at the start of each word of a phrase to cause the word or the phrase to be darker than normal. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 BREAK###to cause the item just found to appear at the start of a new line in the finished resume. The line being edited will be split just to the left of the item just found and an asterisk will be inserted immediately before this item. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 BULLET##to cause the item just found to appear at the start of a new line which bears a bullet in the resume. The line being edited will be split just to the left of the item just found and a minus sign will be inserted immediately before this item. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 DELETE##to delete the item just found. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 LOWER###to convert all of the alphabetic letters in the word or phrase to lower case or small letters. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 MIXED###to convert the first letter of the word or of each of the words in a phrase to upper case or capital letters and to convert the second and subsequent letters to lower case or small letters. Either "the job" or "THE JOB" would be converted to "The Job". .skip.test page 3.indent -8 NEXT####to search for the next appearance of the same item further to the right in the line. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 NORMAL##to remove the underscore or the circumflex at the start of a word or at the start of each word of a phrase to keep the word or the phrase from being underlined and from being darker than normal. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 REPLACE#to replace the item just found by something else. To remove a space incorrectly typed within a word or between a word and a following punctuation mark, it is necessary to search for the two parts, issue a REPLACE editing command, and type in the two parts without the space. To convert "jo#b" to "job", search for jo#b including the space, issue the REPLACE command, and replace by job without the space. .skip The REPLACE editing command can similarly be used to insert a space between 2 words which were incorrectly run together. To convert "thejob" to "the job", search for the combined words without the space and simply replace them by the same words with the correct spacing. The SPACE command can also be used to insert a space to the left of an item. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 SPACE###to insert a space to the left of the item just found. This would be used if 2 words were incorrectly run together without a separating space. To convert "thejob" to "the job", search for the word job, and then issue the SPACE editing command. The REPLACE editing command could also be used to replace the combined words by the same words with the correct spacing. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 UNDERLINE#to insert an underscore at the start of a word or at the start of each word of a phrase to cause the word or the phrase to be underlined in the finished resume. .skip.test page 3.indent -8 UPPER###to convert all of the alphabetic letters in the word or phrase to upper case or capital letters. .left margin 0 .SKIP 2.LEFT MARGIN 0.FILL.TEST PAGE 6 .rtt'Obtaining a Paper Copy of The Resume',,'>' .CENTER OBTAINING A PAPER COPY OF THE RESUME .center --------- - ----- ---- -- --- ------ .skip.test page 3 The PAPER command can be issued in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to obtain a file containing a copy of the resume which can then be printed on the fast printer or typed on the letter quality typewriter. This file will be written into the disk area belonging to the account which is being used to run the program. The file is expendable, and can be modified or deleted without altering the program's own record of what is contained in the resume. The program will stop after the file has been written. The program can be run again later to revise the resume. If the program is run after the final version of the resume has been submitted for inclusion in the resume collection, then the only function which the program will perform is the production of the file which can be printed or typed. .skip.test page 3 After the PAPER command has been issued, the program will ask which of several formats is desired. The format which is selected should depend upon the type of terminal or printer which will be used, and whether the resume collection will itself be typed or typeset. The following words can be used to specify the desired format. If the PAPER command was issued by accident, then only the RETURN key should be pressed so as to cause the "WHAT NEXT?" question to be asked again. .LEFT MARGIN 8 .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 NARROW##if the fast printer will be used to check the contents but not the line lengths of a resume. The resulting file can be printed on narrow paper. The lines in the resume will each contain up to 80 characters. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 PRINTED#if the fast printer will be used to check the contents and the line lengths of a resume for which the final copy will be typed on the letter quality typewriter. The resulting file can be printed on narrow paper if the printer is set to give 12 characters per inch. The lines in the resume will each contain up to 87 characters. The file can also be typed on the letter quality typewriter but darkened characters will not be typed as well as if the TYPED option were used instead. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 TYPED###if the letter quality typewriter will be used to type the resume. The letter quality typewriter must be set to give 12 characters per inch. The lines in the resume will each contain up to 87 characters, so the typed resume will 7 and 1/4th inches wide. The resulting file cannot be printed on the fast printer since it contains instructions for darkening some characters which can only be properly handled by the letter quality typewriter. .SKIP.TEST PAGE 3.INDENT -8 TYPESET#if the fast printer will be used to check the appearance of a resume which will be typeset. THIS FORMAT SHOULD NOT BE USED IF THE RESUME COLLECTION WILL BE TYPED RATHER THAN TYPESET. The number of characters on each line will depend upon the relative numbers of narrow versus wide characters. More words will fit on a line if the words contain few wide characters such as M or W. The resulting file must be printed on wide paper. .left margin 0 .skip.test page 3 This program will report the name of the file which contains the copy of the resume. The file will be named RESUME.DOC if the student is using his or her own account to run this program. However, the file will have a name consisting of a 6 digit number followed by the suffix _.DOC if this program is being run from an account which is being used by several students. If the student who is running the program has been assigned a number and password combination which is used to gain access to the program, then the 6 digit number will merely be the number which was used to gain access to the program, but with leading zeros. If the student who is running the program selected his or her own password, rather than being assigned one, then the number is based upon the password. The program will report the name of the file before it halts. A record should be kept of the file name since it is used to keep each resume separate from those belonging to the other students. .skip.test page 3 The word PRINT and the file name can be typed by the student after the program has exited (i.e., when the computer is prompting with the @ character) to cause the file to be printed on the fast printer. If the file is named 001234.DOC, then the file would be printed if the student typed .skip.test page 3 PRINT 001234.DOC .skip.test page 3 The following operations must be performed to type the file on the letter quality typewriter. These instructions are specific for using the HC program at the Yale School of Management to type a file on the Diablo 1620 terminal. The procedures will differ elsewhere. The HC program allows the typing of pages which are separated by form feed characters in a file onto separate pieces of paper. .lm5 .skip.test page 3.i-4 1.##Log in on the typewriter. .skip.test page 3.i-4 2.##Type HC and press the RETURN key. This starts the hard copy program. The HC program will respond by typing an asterisk. .skip.test page 3.i-4 3.##Type the name of the file and then press the RETURN key. The HC program will complain if it cannot find the file or if it cannot understand the manner in which the file name was typed. If an error message is typed, then the file name will have to be entered again. The file is ready to be typed if the HC program does not type anything in response. .skip.test page 3.i-4 4.##Put a clean sheet of paper into the terminal. .skip.test page 3.i-4 5.##Adjust the horizontal position of the paper so that the left edge is flush with the left edge of the platen (the large rubber cylinder behind the paper). This will give the same wide left margin as will be used in the resume book. To center the resume instead, have the left edge of the paper be 5/16 inch to the right of the left edge of the platen. .skip.test page 3.i-4 6.##Adjust the vertical position of the paper so that the top of the paper is even with the top of the shiny chromed guard plate in front of the printhead. Turn the knob at the end of the platen 2 clicks so that about 1/6th of an inch of paper shows above the guard plate. .skip.test page 3.i-4 7.##Make sure that the printer bail (the rod with the rubber rollers) is in its position farthest away from the platen. .skip.test page 3.i-4 8.##Press the G key to start the typing. This tells the HC program to GO. The RETURN key does not have to be pressed. .skip.test page 3.i-4 9.##After a few lines have been typed, push the paper bail to its position holding down the paper. If the bail is pushed down too early, it will catch on the top of the paper. .skip.test page 3.i-5 10.##If the resume is continued onto additional pages, insert another sheet of paper and press the G key again. .skip.test page 3.i-5 11.##When the typing of the resume has finished and if an additional copy of the resume is needed, then put another piece of paper into the terminal and press the R key. Do not press the RETURN key. This tells the HC program to REPEAT the same file. .skip.test page 3.i-5 12.##If an additional copy of the resume is not needed, put a scrap piece of paper into the terminal. If someone else from the same class is waiting to print a resume, press the E (for END) key to get the HC program ready to accept another file name. The HC program will respond by typing just an asterisk. .skip.test page 3.i-5 13.##To exit from the program after the last page of the resume has been typed, press the Z key instead of the E key. If the E key has already been pressed so that HC has responded by typing an asterisk, then the control key will have to be held down and the C key will have to be pressed while the control key is still being held down. .lm 0 .skip 2.test page 10.left margin 0 .rtt'Changing How Long Sections of Text are Displayed',,'>' .center Changing How Long Sections of Text are Displayed on Terminal .center -------- --- ---- -------- -- ---- --- --------- -- -------- .skip.test page 3 Long sections of text, for example the various instruction messages and drafts or proofs of the resume, either can be typed to the terminal without stopping, or can be parceled out in pages of uniform length with the typing pausing at the bottom of each page. Continuous display is appropriate if a terminal which types onto paper is being used. The student can then just look back at the previous printout to read what has been printed. Pausing after each page is appropriate to video terminals on which information, once it has been pushed off the screen, is lost. .skip.test page 3 The RESUME program administrator will adjust the program for the type of terminal being used by most of the students in each class. If a few students in the class use some other type of terminal then they will have to individually adjust the program for the type of terminal which they are using. This will have to be done each time that they run the program. The program probably should be adjusted for a different type of terminal if information is being lost when a video terminal is used, or if the RETURN key must be pressed repeatedly to have the program continue the typing of long sections of text when a paper output terminal is used. .skip.test page 3 The following commands can be typed in response to the "WHAT NEXT?" question to adjust the program for the type of terminal being used. These commands can also be typed in response to the initial question asked by the program about whether general instructions are desired. However, the existence of these commands is not revealed then unless a question mark happens to be typed in response to that question. .skip.test page 3.left margin 8 .i-8 SLOW####if this program is being run from a terminal which types onto paper.
