Typing

a

hyphen

(0)

in

the

hot

zone

automatically

sends

the

cursor

to

the

next

line.

This

becomes

a

"soft"

hyphen,

displayed

as

a

dotted

hyphen,

and

will

disap-

pear

if

subsequent

revisions

or

re

-formatting

—

a

change

of

margins,

for

instance

—

moves

the

word

out

of

the

hot

zone.

A

permanent

hyphen,

entered

with

+

,

is

for

those

words

that

always

require

a

hyphen (mother-in-law,

for

example).

In

the

hot

zone,

a

permanent

hyphen

does

not

send

the

cursor

to

the

next

line.

Outside

the

hot

zone,

all

hyphens

are

permanent,

so

it

is

not

necessary

to

use

It

is

possible

to

create

characters

that

("v",

for

example)

by

superimposing

two

characters.

1.

Type

the

first

character

("Y"

in

our

example).

NOTE:

Enter

the

characters

in

either

order,

but

start

with

the

one

you

want

to

appear

in

the

text

area.

2.

Press

.

The

first

character

appears

now

in

reversed

color,

and

the

cursor

moves

next

to

the

indicator

on

the

status

line.

3.

Type

the

second

character

("="

in

our

example)

on

the

status

line.

As

soon

as

the

second

is

typed,

the

cursor

moves

back

to

the

text

area

and

you

are

ready

to

resume

normal

typing.

NOTES:
