Word Processing

       The MPAC word processing functions provide for the editing,
       validation, formatting, and printing of text files.  The system
       is designed to be equally effective for brief documents such as
       correspondence and for lengthly documents such as technical write
       ups and specifications.

       Each Word Processing function is prefaced by a standard file
       selection screen.  The user may specify a document to be
       processed, request a range of document names to be displayed for
       selection, or request all available documents to be displayed.

       The text editor is designed to be easy to use, while offering
       many powerful features.  Commands may be invoked through control
       keys, special editing keys, or via a command line interface
       supporting command names and mnemonic abbreviations.  Command
       keys may be re-assigned to the user's preference.  Advanced
       features include multiple files, multiple windows, and macros
       created from the keyboard or from startup files.

       A spell checker is provided for spelling verification.  Spelling
       listings may include the complete document text or questionable
       spellings only, and may be displayed or printed.

       A text formatter using standard "roff" style formatting commands
       is also provided.

       System management functions allow for the specification of
       various operating parameters including the directory to be used
       for storing documents.  Various indicators are provided including
       public or private text files, and startup file processing.  The
       system may be set to seek a global startup file for all users
       and/or private startup files per user, terminal type, or both.
