[comp.sys.atari.8bit] SpeedScript 3.0

JEO065@ALBNY1VX.BITNET (10/05/88)

Hello all,

   I just finished typing in speedscript 3.0 out of Compute May 1985
vol. 7, No. 5.  And I was wondering has anyone used it?  If so, could
you give me a clew as to how to exit it without turning off the computer?
I am using it on an Atari 800xl with Spartados and a percom dd/ds drive.
I would like to use it with cc8, but I cant get out of it.  I read through
the article and I see only one way to get back to dos, and that is if you
are useing os/a+ which I dont have..  Any suggestions?  Please reply to
me as I am not able to get the news group here.

Jim Otto asks about SpeedScript 3.0...  I started typing it in a couple of
years ago, and then found out about OMNIVIEW and OmniWriter, which is
a much-enhanced version of the old SpeedScript.  Most of the commands are
the same, but 80 column screen displays make it just like a "real"
word processor.

I suggest you look into OMNIVIEW for your 800XL and run OmniWriter, which
comes on a disk included with OMNIVIEW (which is a replacement O/S ROM).
