Text and Illustration Processing System (TIPS) User's Manual. Volume 1: Text Processing System

Abstract

This manual describes a text processing system developed to teach relatively inexperienced users how to enter and edit textual materials. Also provided is information on storage and system maintenance for the system manager. It contains nine sections and two appendices with sections two through nine arranged in a sequence which corresponds closely to the order in which they would be used. Contents include information about the system hardware, explanations of how to type a manuscript, procedures for making text revisions, ways in which to add a file and interpret special display functions, and a format for putting files together to create one large manuscript in one file. Graphic capabilities of the system are also described. Appendices include operator utility routines and installation and maintenance routines for the system manager. Four references are listed.
