Tasword 1.09 Amstrad PPC File Management Help
Ever had one of those days where you're sure you must be missing something blindingly obvious?
This is one of those days for me. Having a play around with some software which came with the Amstrad PPC513 I recently picked up, however have come up against a bit of a head scratcher...I cannot for the life of me figure out how to load or save files in Tasword. I can "brute force" it into loading a file by just typing a filename after the program name from the command line...but have no idea how to save...and it seems like there must be a way to do it from within the program. There are a plethora of keyboard commands shown in the on screen help, but nothing relating to actual file management. All the manuals I've found so far relate to different versions it seems and the commands listed there don't work. All seeming to be looking for you opening a main menu by pressing Ctrl + enter - which in this version does nothing. Does anyone remember how to get into either the relevant menu or the correct keyboard commands, or even better have a copy of the manual? It's a long time since I've been this stumped by a bit of software. |

F10, main menu?
My first PC was one of these bought from a radio rally. Long gone now though. |
