          itor with functions such as select, cut, paste, undelete, and

          User-Defined Processes (UDPs) allow users to automate frequently
          repeated key sequences. UDPs may be defined and invoked from any
          menu or form, other UDPs, or while editing a document. Users can
          create, edit, list, print, or delete any number of UDPs.

          and position diagrams of any length that include horizontal
          and vertical lines, boxes, scientific equations, line drawings,
          charts, matrixes, and VT100 character set equations.

          List Processing and Sort Processing allow users to create
          customized documents, letters or reports. A running total of
          records processed can be displayed on the user's screen, or
          any number of List or Sort Processing jobs can be submitted to
          run in a background mode for other WPS-PLUS functions (such as
          document editing) to be performed simultaneously. Users are au-
          tomatically informed when the job is complete and provided with
          a log of processed jobs.

          Management of background List or Sort Processing jobs is avail-
          able by use of the Job Services option from a menu selection.
          Job Services Option allows users to view an index of active
          jobs, delete, and hold jobs within the queue.

          Editor Math allows users to perform calculations with four math
          function capabilities.

          ity to link into a variety of software products by using the
          External Application Link (XAL).

          documents to insert stored words, phrases, and paragraphs.

          Integrated Filing System

          WPS-PLUS for VMS software provides an integrated filing system
          with a File Cabinet for each user. The File Cabinet features:

          ument, and retrieval by folder or document name, keyword or

          number. A document folders index can be viewed while selecting
          documents. The ability to delete, copy, or cross-file documents
          into other folders allows for a truly organized and easy to use
          filing system.

          The WPS-PLUS for VMS product allows multiple users to access
          and edit common, system-wide WPS-PLUS documents by using the
          Reference External file feature.

          Formatting and Printing

          Printer tables contain both the attribute and character defini-
          tions necessary to support a specific printer along with sheet
          feeder or bin selection information when applicable. WPS-PLUS
          for VMS allows users to create or modify printer tables, allow-
          ing each user to maintain unique printer tables. User options
          include the ability to create a table from an existing system
          table, edit, print, rename, or delete printer tables.

          WPS-PLUS for VMS provides full proportional printing and spacing
          capabilities, and support of PostScript devices. If desired,
          WPS-PLUS software will wrap text automatically. To format and
          print properly, proportional printing takes into consideration
          tab positions, centering, tabular columns, and justification
          settings. Changing fonts and point sizes within lines of text
          is performed easily by assigning renditions (for example, bold,
          underline, etc.) to print in any valid specified font and size.
          For justified text, users may wish to enhance the final ap-
          pearance of their documents by selecting user-definable hanging
          punctuation.

          When formatting a document, users can specify which standard
          or optional language lexicon to use with automatic hyphenation.
          Refer to System Support Addendum (SSA 27.91.03-A).

          The print facility supports stored settings that allow users
          to define page size and layout, top and bottom margins, inter-
          column spacing, and horizontal and vertical pitch values. Dy-
          namic pagination is user-controlled and settings can be defined
          within the actual document. Users can choose to mix portrait and

          landscape pages within a single document and define differing
          numbering schemes for pages, footnotes or sections. WPS-PLUS
          for VMS software automatically allows for the placement of head-
          ers and footers at the top or bottom of each page with an op-
          tional alternating fashion. Printing of multiple column tables,
          automatic page numbering, control of widows and orphans, non-
          breaking blocks of text, one-pass paragraph numbering, tables of
          contents, tables of authorities, and indexes are examples of the
          extensive formatting features available within the WPS-PLUS for
          VMS product.

          A menu selection allows users to print documents (on supported
          devices) in number up, simplex, duplex, and tumble print styles
          and to specify different page sizes on appropriate devices.
          Refer to System Support Addendum (SSA 27.91.03-A).

          Printing WPS-PLUS-created PostScript files to non-PostScript
          devices is also supported by using the optional DECprint Utility
          for PostScript to Sixel Printing for VMS V1.0. (SPD 31.56.xx).

          Management of background printing jobs is available through use
          of the Job Services Option from a menu selection.
