THIS MAY MAKE IT INACCESSIBLE TO OTHER USERS. FOR GREATEST SAFETY, ALWAYS WORK FROM A SPARE COPY OF MOREPERFECT.   WHAT IS MOREPERFECT? MorePerfect is a power-packed add-on for WordPerfect. A special set of command keys in an ingenious arrangement offers you unsurpassed editing capability. With a single keystroke, you can move the cursor or deleteby character, word, line, sentence, paragraph, or page--forward or backward--without moving your hands from the letter keys! MorePerfect can double your editing speed, yet it's easy to learn and use. This version of MorePerfect works with WordPerfect 5.0, 5.1, and possibly later. It will NOT work with earlier versions.

ABOUT OUR DISK Here is a list of files you should have: README Quick intro (ASCII text) GO.BAT Batch file to display README GUIDE Documentation and registration (WP document) MP.WPK MorePerfect keyboard MP.WPM MorePerfect startup macro  ( INSTALLING MOREPERFECT 1. Copy the files MP.WPK and MP.WPM to your WordPerfect directory. For example, from the DOS prompt in your WordPerfect directory, you could copy both files from drive A with COPY A:MP.* followed by RETURN (ENTER). You could also use WordPerfect's own copy function within List Files (F5). Note: If you have been placing macro and keyboard files in a different directory, copy our files there instead. If WordPerfect later tells you it cannot find them, check the Location of Files menu in ShftF1 Setup, to see if a different directory is named. 2. From within WordPerfect, press AltF10 (Macro), and type MP followed by RETURN (ENTER). This selects the MorePerfect keyboard. You can instead select the keyboard manually, through the Shft-F1 Setup menu. MorePerfect will now be active. Commands may execute slowly the first time they're used, because WordPerfect must load them into memory.  Because MorePerfect is in the standard format of a WordPerfect keyboard file, you can easily alter it. (But please DO NOT distribute altered copies of MorePerfect.) You can also convert individual MorePerfect commands to user macros. See your WordPerfect documentation. TURNING OFF MOREPERFECT MorePerfect displaces WordPerfect secondary commands on the Ctrlletter keys, and user macros on most Altletter keys. WordPerfect's Compose Key, CtrlV, is moved to CtrlA. Still free are all the Altletter keys on the bottom row, plus AltA and AltQ. If you need other earlier key functions, you can easily turn off MorePerfect. A quick, temporary method is to press Ctrl6 (top row). Or you can "unselect" MorePerfect with our Off Key, Altminus (top row). If you use Ctrl6, and if you have WordPerfect's 1/19/90 release of 5.1, or later, you can return to MorePerfect by pressing that same key TWICE. Otherwise, return with AltF10, "MP". For quicker returning, you could assign the "MP" startup macro to an Altletter key. For example, renaming MP.WPM to ALTM.WPM would let you return by pressing AltM.  $ MOREPERFECT AND YOUR KEYBOARD MorePerfect is ideal for touch typists. It never makes you remove your hands from typing positionthough you'll have to stretch a bit. On oldstyle keyboards, with the Control Key next to the A key, always use your left little finger to press Ctrl or Alt. On the newer, "extended" keyboards, use "twohand" fingering instead. For example, for AltW, press Alt with your righthand little finger, and W with the usual lefthand finger. Some users find the fingering of our Ctrlkey commands more convenient on the oldstyle keyboard. If you have an extended keyboard, you may wish to switch your CapsLock Key with your left Control Key. This can be done by a number of macro programs and keyboard utilities. One simple, effective one is IBMFIX.COM, available on PC MagNet. THE MOREPERFECT COMMAND SET MorePerfect supplies important commands missing from WordPerfect, such as Center Scroll and Bookmark. More important, it affords startling editing speed and power through several simple principles: 1. All movement and edit commands are located on the "typewriter keys," for instant access. 2. Lefthand keys act backward in the document, while righthand keys act forward. 3. Ctrlletter keys move the cursor, while Altletter keys delete.  Combining the last two principles generates a "command matrix." This arrangement packs more power onto the keyboard than you ever thought possible, while maintaining simplicity and ease of use. Unlike other word processors placing primary commands on the letter keys, MorePerfect DOES NOT work by mnemonicsB for "bold," P for "page," and so on. Instead, MorePerfect works by finger position. As you try the keys listed in the coming pages, you'll quickly catch on to the pattern, and you'll be able to locate commands without memorizing letter names. (If you ever need a quick reminder, just press CtrlBackslash for Help.) In the following listings, the WordPerfect equivalent keyif anyis noted in parentheses. Note: A few MorePerfect commands use WordPerfect's search function, cancelling search text you've entered earlier. Some add then delete textso F1 Cancel may not bring up all three of your most recent deletions. These inconveniences have been minimized. In most cases, you'll notice only how much easier WordPerfect has become.  h)    ___ ___ ___ _ _ _ _ ___ ___ ___ _ _ _ _ _ _ :[ W ] [ E ] [ R ] :: : : : :[ U ] [ I ] [ O ] :: : : : : : :[___] [___] [___] ::_ _: :_ _: :[___] [___] [___] ::_ _: :_ _: :_ _: :Page Para.

These enable you to move the cursor or deleteby character, word, line, sentence, paragraph, or page--forward or backward--with a single keystroke. Unit Keys always act to the START of a unit. For instance, if your cursor is in the middle of a sentence, Sentence Up will move it to the start of the same sentence. Repeating the command will move it to the start of the previous sentence. Delete Sentence Down will delete from the cursor to the start of the next sentence. When you move backward to the start of a unit, the cursor moves in front of any invisible codes placed there. When you delete backward, the codes too are deleted. (To first check for codes, press AltF3.) CHARACTER KEYS Ctrl-F Character Left (LeftArrow) Ctrl-J Character Right (RightArrow) Alt-F Delete Character Left (Backspace) Alt-J Delete Character Right (Delete) WORD KEYS Ctrl-D Word Left (Ctrl-LeftArrow) Ctrl-K Word Right (Ctrl-RightArrow) Alt-D Delete Word Left (Home Backspace) Alt-K Delete Word Right (Home Delete) LINE KEYS Ctrl-S Line Left (Home Home Home LeftArrow) Ctrl-L Line Right (End) Alt-S Delete Line Left Alt-L Delete Line Right (CtrlEnd) h) SENTENCE KEYS Ctrl-R Sentence Up Ctrl-U Sentence Down Alt-R Delete Sentence Up Alt-U Delete Sentence Down Note: Sentence Up and Down normally recognize sentences ending in either a period, a question mark, or an exclamation pointbut, if blocking is on, only a period works. PARAGRAPH KEYS Ctrl-E Paragraph Up Ctrl-I Paragraph Down Alt-E Delete Paragraph Up Alt-I Delete Paragraph Down PAGE KEYS CtrlW` Page Up CtrlO` Page Down AltW` Delete Page Up AltO` Delete Page Down Note: The Delete Page commands ask you to confirm.

All are Ctrlletter keys. Travel Keys moving backward do NOT move in front of invisible codes. CENTER SCROLL KEYS CtrlT` Center Scroll CtrlY` Center Scroll Now you can shift your display without moving to the screen top or bottom! The two Center Scroll Keys move the text with the cursor on it to center screen. The cursor stays in its place in the document, so your work isn't interrupted. WordPerfect precludes the Scroll Up and Down commands we'd like to place on these keys, but you'll find Center Scroll a handy and flexible alternative. For instance, if used after a Screen Key (below), it will shift the display by just half a screen.  CURSOR KEYS Ctrl-G Up (UpArrow) Ctrl-H Down (DownArrow) DOCUMENT KEYS Ctrl-B Document Up (Home Home UpArrow) Ctrl-N Document Down (Home Home DownArrow) SCREEN KEYS Ctrl-V Screen Up (Num Pad ) Ctrl-M Screen Down (Num Pad +)  (     _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ ___ ___ :: : : : : : :: : : : :: : : : : : :!

CUT AND PASTE KEYS Ctrl-P Block On/Off (AltF4) Alt-P Cut Ctrl[` Paste Use the Cut and Paste Keys with other MorePerfect keys for superquick block operations. Turn on blocking with CtrlP, then extend the block with Unit or Travel keys. To shut off blocking, press CtrlP again. Or "cut" the block from the document with AltP. Press Ctrl[ to "paste" it back into the document, wherever you like and as often as you likeuntil you cut another block. REWRITE KEY Ctrl-] Rewrite No more missing with your cursor! Like WordPerfect's CtrlF3but with a single strokethis key rewrites the entire screen. Use it after adding or deleting text, to quickly bring your text back in line with the right margin and to reposition page breaks. (Many MorePerfect commands do this for you automatically.) BOOKMARK CtrlC` Bookmark Bookmarks for WordPerfect! This key lets you insert, remove, and travel to any number of invisible bookmarks, anywhere in your document. Note: The bookmarks won't affect printing, so you can leave them in your document, if you prefer.  h)  GO BACK KEY Ctrl-X Go Back (CtrlHome CtrlHome) A quick key for returning your cursor to its previous position. Handy if you accidentally jump elsewhere in the document. UNDELETE KEY CtrlZ` Undelete Like WordPerfect's F1 Cancelbut with a single strokethis key restores your most recent deletion. THE SUPPORT KEYS The Support Keys (not pictured) help you use MorePerfect. COMPOSE KEY CtrlA` Compose (CtrlV) This substitutes for WordPerfect's own Compose Key, CtrlV, which is displaced by MorePerfect. OFF KEY Altminus (top row)h#MorePerfect Off This turns off MorePerfect and restores the original WordPerfect keyboard, along with any Altletter macros that MorePerfect displaced. Use it to access earlier key functions, then return to MorePerfect by pressing Alt-F10 (Macro) and typing "MP". For alternate methods, see the section in this Guide, "Turning Off MorePerfect." HELP KEY CtrlBackslash Help This pops up a keyboard chart for quick reminder of MorePerfect commands.  !  = X  v1.2 ****************************** MOREPERFECTREGISTRATION FORM ****************************** NAME: Send check or money order to COMPANY: Simple Productions ADDRESS: 12 East 15th St. #3 Arcata, CA 95521 USA 707-822-3148 PHONE: OCCUPATION: ____ I enclose $30 for registration. ____ We enclose $_____ for _____ registrations, $30 per station.
