(Excerpt from the WordSense Users Manual)
WordSense Editor
is a full featured Text Management System. It is for anyone
and everyone who needs to manipulate text on an IBM PC or
compatible computer. I hesitate to use the phrase Word Processor,
for fear of the product being categorized in the overcrowded
world of existing word processing software. WordSense Editor
is a refreshingly NEW approach to an OLD problem.
Test drive the program for a short time and I promise you
will be addicted to the efficiency, speed, power and new-found
excitement that WordSense Editor will bring you.

WordSense Editor
is an extremely powerful and efficient tool designed to ease
the task of creating and manipulating text on the printed
page. The program was created and tested in the work environment,
during a 2 year period, by people who use computers every
day to format and manipulate text. The resulting software
is a product which gives the User the flexibility,
power and sensible command structure that word processing
has promised but never quite delivered.
Browsing through
the Table Of Contents gives a sense of the powerful features
built into the program. What is not quite as obvious is the
beauty and artistry of the command interface design. Much
attention has been given to the many repetitive details of
operating a large piece of software and experiencing the
WordSense
Editor environment is the only way to fully appreciate how
exciting and easy commanding your computer can be.
WordSense Editor
is designed to be flexible and versatile. It offers many
options that you may customize to your liking. The command
interface
uses no pre-assigned function keys. You may define each of
these special keys in your own way. You may even set them
up to emulate many of the functions of other popular word
processors.
WordSense Editor
can be used as a stand-alone program or as a memory-resident
program. Each has certain advantages and it is up to you
to
decide how you would like the program to operate.
Two distinct modes
of operation are always within reach; ASCII mode and Word-Processing
mode. ASCII mode allows WordSense Editor to operate as a
text
editor with no special formatting options. This is ideal
for programming applications or writing DOS batch files.
Coupled
with the memory-resident feature, WordSense Editor becomes
hard to beat as a programmer's editor. Word-Processing mode
allows WordSense Editor to operate as a full featured word
processor with all the standard features found in the most
expensive and often bulky software packages, and many new
and unique features not offered in any other package.
WordSense Editor
offers you full control of your laser printer from within
the program and makes it easy for you to control font changes,
handle proportional-spaced justification, and even do automatic
column-snaking to create up to 10 newspaper columns on a
page.
Features such
as Column-Block marking, Global Locate & Edit across an
entire directory, Style Sheets, Mail-merge, complete sub-directory
control, up to nine different editing windows, programmable
function-keys, user adjustable printer drivers, easy first
& second letter command interface, the unmatched speed
and compactness of 100% assembly language program code, etc.
all add up to making WordSense Editor the most sensible choice
available for text management.
