)K disappears, the first text name is input to the text name buffer 35, and then the text name of that title is output from this buffer 35, and the above-mentioned main 11138 copy is used to write the text name on the disc. The text of 1 is continued. Counting pulse forming circuit 37 E2
A count up pulse, a count up number m to the count direction control circuit 38, text data and a write clock to the mail 39 are manually input, and the text data is stored in the memory 3.
9 is stored.

Then, when the text start signal is manually inputted at the address specification-'34th, a clock pulse is generated at 137, and a clock pulse is generated at 38.
A count-up signal is input manually to read out the memory 39, and the text (the front part) is printed one image per image.

During this printing, when ( is detected by the batch auxiliary symbol detection i11 & 40, the stack pointer 41 (which is reset by the text start signal) is operated up, and the 7 lip-flop 42 in FIG. 5 is set. 43.44, the shift pulse is input to the shift register 45 via 43, and the text data is input to the shift register 45 via 44, and this input condition 1III continues until the detection circuit 40 detects ke. do.

Accordingly, the second text name inserted in I above is detected and input to the text name buffer 35 in Figure @4.

When the second text name is detected, the memory address stack circuit w146 stacks the memory address signal and the first text name stack circuit 47 stacks the text name, and outputs the text name in the text name buffer 35U. Then, the text kjJ2 on the disc is read out and automatically printed. ' is detected as described above), the memory address abstraction circuit 48 performs an address correction of plus l to the memory address stack circuit 46, and both stack circuits 46 and 47 perform j! ! extension circuit 49
Since the stack is stopped after the address correction of the 0-period operation is completed, the second text is continuously printed in the # part of the text of stripe l.

The text of Xie 2 is printed and detected - 40 on 11i1
When 1 is detected at j! After receiving the overhammering action Yt from the 1m circuit 50, the stack pointer 41 moves down, and both stacks (b) @46.47 return to their original shape. As a result, the first text name is output from the buffer 35, and the memory address stack f9Ii 146 for the address designation circuit 34 is stopped by 11%.
The rear part of the first text is printed consecutively to the second text. As described above. When detected, a text end signal is outputted from the text end station Yokidedanro 51.

When the printing of the rear part of the text in set I is complete, this will be indicated.

Here, the underlined portion is inserted and printed using the character key 9, and the nine messages are answered.

■, "Scroll operation" To perform this operation, press the operating mode selector 2.
Set 5 to edit mode.

Depending on whether the forward key 12 is pressed lightly or pressed deeply, the manner in which the table on the display device 4 is scrolled changes as follows.

(II) If the forward key 12 is missed (you can continue to insert it), 111 clock pulses are input to the counting pulse forming circuit 37 in @4WJ,
II? It will be scrolled by Yarakuta.

V-(2) Forward key】2 is pressed deeply.

While the button is being pressed, a scroll repeat signal is input to the timer 52 in Fig. 94. When the word delimiter detection path 53 detects one word (■T) (read out from the memory 39 and detects it from the running text data), the tie "f52 is activated by the counting pulse forming circuit 3.
To stop the clock pulse input to 7 for one moment.

As a result, the displayed ul words on the nice play device 14 are skipped one by one, which is easier to perform than when scrolling continuously without interruption.

Note that the word delimiter detection circuit 53tl, word (WD
), as well as an auto carrier return signal (80R) that automatically returns carrier 5, and a refire carrier return signal (RCR) that returns carrier 5 when necessary.
4 Detect.

Further, V-ill and V-+2) may be performed separately using different keys.

"VL r Space/Auto carrier return change operation" This production can be done, for example, after a text collection or in the middle of a collection of essays! aK - When trying to search the contents of a collection, there are some things that can be done during the collection process to make the search easier.
This is done by performing a return during refire on the keyboard 3, and after learning %N for each jl&N, the first space entered is sent as an auto carrier return signal (ACR), and this ACR is detected after the fact. As quickly as line by line or paragraph by paragraph? - The duck is trying to make a move so that it can do the trick.

That is, as shown in FIG.
11, space and RCR detection 1g1i&, detected at 54.

When RCR is detected, the counter 56 is reset via the OR circuit 55. When the counter 56 counts the number N of clock pulses tjl, it opens the gate [gl circuit 7].

After this gate circuit 57 is opened, when a space is detected in the infiltration circuit 54, it passes through the gate circuit 57 and is manually inputted to the theme change pedal 58, and the space is output as an auto carrier return signal (ACR). Car memory 39
is memorized.

At this time, the counter 56 is simultaneously reset and counts clock pulses from the beginning of writing.

Then, when the JII enemy NK passes, the gate circuit 57 is opened again, and a space is detected at Detection-1154.Then, the space is detected as above, and the same process is repeated.

Therefore, 50R (and RCR) stored in this way
If you detect and search for that unit, you can search quickly.

Note that the ACRK change nine space is returned to the % and space when necessary after the fact.
