Can anyone out there help me in trying to figure out my Morrow Designs CPM system? I have recently entered the world of computers new, and acquired the system serendipitously. I have down most of the basic machine commands, but am having trouble with the "Wordstar" software; specifically, how to retain newly-made files on another disk for future data entry. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? What exactly are you trying to do with WordStar? So far as I know, never having owned CP/M WordStar (I use an OLD MS-DOS version), the best way to put a file on another disk is to use ^K^B and ^K^K to mark the whole file then ^K^W to write it to another file. It works, but it's a bit clumsy. If you need, I can send a sort of copy of my MS-DOS WScheatsheet. WS 3.12 is functionally identical to and slower than CP/M WS of the same vintage, since it is merely translated assembler. I got it in 1984. What sorts of docs do you have, and of course, what do you need? I can probably give you a hand. Oh yeah, you can also copy the file from the editting no-file menu. I almost forgot about that. Hope this helps.
