[comp.sys.amiga] WordPerfect: Rt-Amiga J,K,L,O?

34MASRB@CMUVM.BITNET (JOHN OBERMESIK) (11/06/90)

To my surprise, I stumbled across some keyboard commands for WordPerfect
recently but have been unable to determine what they do.  If you look at
Cntl-F3 and select Amiga Mapping you will notice that many of the Rt-Amiga
keys are reserved for the Amiga, not macros.  Even more surprising is the
lack of documentation for these commands.  I have ascertained the following:

Rt-Amiga:                        C= Key:
         B = Bold block                 Automatic blocking features
         C = Copy block
         I = Italics block              I = Block one word to the right
         J = ???                        O = Block one sentence to the right
         K = ???                        P = Block right to the next [HRt]
         L = ???
         O = ???                        J = Block left one word
         P = Paste text                 K = Block left one sentence
         Q = Cancel                     L = Block left to the next [HRt]
         S = Save
         U = Underline block
         X = Cut block

Does ANYBODY know what Rt-Amiga J,K,L,O do in WP?  These could be
helpful to a WP power user like myself.  Also, does anyone know why
the "Block On" notice in my status line fails to work?
Any help would be appreciated.

Once in a while, WP seems to not like what I enter into the program.
I sometimes get this message in the status line, "Typeover".
hmmmm.

My docs list the amiga-qualified keys.  The Oct89 update had them listed
in the hardcopy (tho I don't specifically recall A-J -- A-O), and the
earlier version had them listed in the README file..

Dunno.  Mine works fine last I looked...

You're kidding, right?  (Mebbe I missed the :-)  )
