     There may be a summary of Program Writer commands somewhere on the net--
don't know. Below is a list of the main editing commands I added to my PW start
program to display as a reminder:



           Main Editing Commands for Program Writer

Enter NEW and LOAD BASIC program to be edited.
Enter && to enter editor. OpenApple-Q (OA-Q) exits the editor.

                    MAIN KEY COMMANDS

Arrow keys move cursor              OA-arrow key for big moves
OA-1 ... OA-9 hops cursor           OA-E toggles cursor type
OA-X toggles 80/40 col display      OA-I lets you insert a line
DELETE deletes left                 OA-DELETE deletes right
OA-Y delets to end of line          OA-D begins line(s) Delete

* actions that work between program loads

Note: changing a Line number by hand followed by RETURN duplicates the
   Line. (Press ESC to refresh display and show the new Line.)
