24AN INTRODUCTION TO RIO.
TEXT PROCESSING
INTRODUCTION
This manual has been designed with you, the beginner,
in mind---both the absolute beginner (that person who has
never touched 2 computer) and the relative beginner (that
person who has never used a RIO system). Our purpose
here is to give a general overview; we went to show you
the high spots end get you going. Once you've learned the
fundamentals of RIO (RIO stands for Relocatable Modules
and I/O Mangement), you may refer to other Zilog docu-
ments (described in Section IV) which have been designed
for the more sophisticated user.
Learning to use the RIO opereting system is like
learning anything else---once you get familiar with it,
it will seem easy. Try to spend 2 few uninterrupted
hours getting to know your system. As you reed through
the following self-tutorial pages, put into practice
what you learn, Don't just reed about it---try itSlide in this way
FIGURE 1 - DisketteFIGURE 21. FIRST THINGS FIRST
About Disks
Disks (see Figure 1) both supply and receive information
necessary for the computer's operation. The disk contains
"files" of information that might be either progrems which
tell the computer what to do or data files which you create
The disk that contains the information necessary to run RIO
is called the System Disk and is usually inserted on the
right-hand side of the computer (Figure 2A). The disk on.
which data is stored is called the User Disk and is usually
placed on the left-hand side of the computer (Figure 2B).
Disks must be "formatted" before they can be used
Formatting is a way the computer has of segmenting the disk
into fixed, addressable parts. If your machine is brand new
you will have to format 2 User Disk before you undertake the
following tutoriel; refer to Section ITT for instructions
on formatting both System and User Disks. If your machine
has been in use for a while, there might be User & System
Disks available with which you can take the tutorial.
From now on we will call the right-hand side of
the computer (Figure 2A) Drive 0; the left-hand side
(Figure 2B) will be called Drive 2 (that's if you have
a Microcomputer Zilog (MCZ) System; if you have @ Zilog
Development (ZDS) System, the left-hand side is called
Drive 1; for the purposes of this tutorial, however, we will
assume you have an MCZ).
Getting Ready
Turn your system on. The on/off switch for your RIO
system is located in the rear (Figure 2E) of the system
housing. You will be typing into the system on a keyboerd
with 2 screen or printer attached (more about this later),
and it will elso have an on/off switch.
Next thing is to obtain formatted User and System Disks
and put them in the machine. Remember that the System
Disk belongs in Drive 0; the User Disk in Drive 2.
Slide them into the machine. It's difficult to
describe what position the disks should be in as they
slide into the machine---the labeled end should enter
last; if you are to the right of the machine, the seamedsides of the disks should be facing away from you; the
directional arrows in Figure 1 will assist you in the
disks' insertion. Once the disks "click" into place
shut the doors by sliding them to the left. Now press
the button marked RESET on your computer and type a
carriage return on your terminal. This process is called
Bootstrapping and you are doing all of this so that a
percent sign---%---will appear on your terminal screen
or printer. This sign, which we call a prompt sign,
meens the computer is ready to accept commands. After
you see the $ sign, you are ready to create a file.
What is a Pile?
We will soon try to create a file. Imagine the files
you create as individual documents stored in the computer.
You can call them forth at will to change them, add to or
subtract from them, or print them into a hard copy (more
about printouts later). Each file has its own name so it can
be easily located by the computer.
Creating a "new" file on the computer is essentially the
same as creating a new document on a typewriter. Blank paper,
after being inserted in e typewriter end having date typed
onto it, becomes a document. A RIO disk, after being properly
inserted in the system and having data typed onto it, also
becomes a "document"---or more properly, becomes the vehicle
through which the data becomes a document when printed into
hard copy---computer slang for the actual ink-on-paper
representation of what a computer file contains.
Most likely you are equipped with 2 machine that can
turn your file into a hard copy. You might be typing on a
terminel that produces a herd copy as you work; or you
might have a separate printer. Since we don't know
what kind of printer you have, we can't tell you how
to use it. If you don't know, then consult your local
electronics wizard. At any rate, after you have worked
in a file, you will usually produce a hard copy of the file.
If you make changes on the hard copy, you can then re-enter
the file on the RIO System and make those same changes a
permanent part of the file.
When you make corrections to a document prepared on a
typewriter, it must be completely retyped if there aremajor revisions; at the very least, there is much fuss made
with cutting, pasting, whiting out, etc. On the RIO
system, you simply locate the appropriate line to which
a correction, addition or deletion must be made and make
the change. When it is printed into hard copy it will
reflect all changes with a minimum of your effort having
been expended.
Creating a File
Now that you have some idee of what files are, let's
create one so that you can actually experience creating and
editing a file for yourself. The file we'll create here
will be quite simple and short but, nonetheless, it will
give you a good idea of how to go about creating your own
files in the future. Let's call our first file APHORISMS.
Make sure the prompt sign (%) is visible; if it is not,
Bootstrap.
There will be two things going on in all of the following
instructions---you will be typing on the terminal into the
computer, and the computer will be "answering" you on your
screen or printer.
In all of these instructions, what you are supposed to
type will be underlined; whet the computer responds will
not be underlined; if you are to type a carriage return,
this symbol, -> , will so indicate.
With all of this in mind, then, type,
EDIT APHORISMS ->
EDIT 1.
NEW FILE
INPUT
(When you type EDIT APHORISMS, you are naming a file;
the computer searches its memory and, since it cannot
locate a file named APHORISMS, it states that it is a
new file; it also states that you may now "input" into
the file---i.e., you may now add text to the file).
In the following material, we will not be indicating
carriage returns, -> , for the straight input of text;
we'll show them only for commands to the computer to
differentiate between what you type and what the computer
"answers". For the inputting of the aphorisms, you should
insert carriage returns so that your aphorisms look the
same as the ones in this menual.So, type into the computer,
A penny saved
is a penny earned.
Mistakes in Typing
If you moke a typing mistake and see it before the
carriage return has been typed, there are two ways to
recover.
You can erase the last character typed by
typing a "control-h"---that is, hold down the “control”
key and type the letter "h". Successive uses of the
"will bring you back to the beginning of the
If you want to wipe out an entire line in one
easy movement, type the “delete” button. ‘This will bring
you back to the beginning of the line
Double (Etc.) Spacing =~
You will often want to skip spaces between paragraphs
or chapters when typing. Unlike typing on a regular
typewriter, however, you don't accomplish this by repeatedly
pressing the carriage return, Instead, for each additional
space you want, press the carriage return, then touch the
long space bar located at the bottom of the keyboard
then press the carriage return again. In other words
each touch of the carriage return must be accompanied
by a touch of the space ber (if you carriage return twice
in succession without touching the space bar, you will
go out of INPUT and into EDIT).
Double-space after your last aphorism, and let's keep
inputting.Adding Text to the File
Here are a few more golden words for your aphoristic
collection. ‘Type these in and then we'll close the file.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Into each life
a little rain must fall.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
A rolling stone
gathers no moss.
You can lead a horse to water,
but you can't make it drink.
Getting out of EDIT (A)
Had enough? Let's close the file, then. To do this,
you must go from INPUT mode back into EDIT---you accomplish
this by pressing the carriage return twice in succession
On your screen or printer should appear,
EDIT
>
This mark (>), by the way, is the Editor's way of
asking for a command. In this case, since you want to
get out of EDIT, you will respond by typing
>QuIT ->
g
Important! You should only remove your disks
from the machine when the prompt sign (%) is present.
Never remove the disks when the red lights (Figure 2D) are
lit. If the prompt sign is present and the lights are not
lit, remove the disks by pressing the bars immediately to
the left of the respective doors on the machine (Figure 2D);
the disks will pop out.Turning Your File Into a Hard Copy
This is a good time to produce a hard copy (see "What
is @ File?") to which you cen refer as you make changes.
Creating 2 Backup Disk
You will shortly make changes to your APHORISM file,
but before doing so let's make 2 backup disk. Keep this
disk only for backing up files. In this way you'll
have an exact copy of your files on hand in case anything
goes wrong with the originals while you work on them.
When you start using the computer regularly, you'll find it's
a good idea to backup freguently. At some point (like when
you've worked for days on a deadline project and then
you accidentally wipe out your entire file), you'll
be really glad you did!
Making @ backup is simple. First of all, you need
another formatted user disk. If you don't have one, make
one now (refer to Section III); lebel it "BACKUP"---agein,
it's convenient to have one disk which you use only for
backup.
Put the disk which contains the file you will copy into
Drive 2. Put the System Disk into Drive 0, Shut both doors
end Bootstrap. Then type,
SMOVE, ->
MOVE,
e
Remove the System Disk. Insert into Drive 0 the backup
disk and close the door.
Then instruct the computer to copy the file by typing
APHORISMS ~)

APHORISMS 2
a
What you have done is instruct the computer to move the
APHORISMS file from its source in Drive 2 (S=2) to its
destination in Drive 0 (D=0)When the red lights stop flashing end the prompt
sign appears, the file has been copied. Remove the back-
up and save it; return the System Disk to Drive 0. Close
the doors and you're ready to make corrections.
(There is 21so a wey to copy an entire disk if you wish.
See Section Iv).
10II. USING THE RTO TEXT EDITOR
Whet is EDIT?
In defining the traditional sense of the word "edit",
Webster's dictionary gives as good @ definition as any
for the EDIT function on your RTO system
To make (written material) suitable
for publication or presentation.
Your RIO system makes editing a document an extremely
easy task. If you remove a paragraph, it does not leave &
Paregraph-length blank space: it closes up the space auto-
matically. It's a simple matter to completely revise a
sentence, chenge 2 word, correct @ spelling error, add or
delete text. The BDIT function on your RIO System is @ tool
entirely at your disposal which will, indeed, make it eesier
for you “to make written material suitable for publication
or presentation."
The RIO Editor is line-oriented, which means that i
locates lines within the file which contain the "string"
you instruct it to find. A string is a sequence of
characters set aside by some special string separators--~
usually slash marks, but not elways (See this section,
"Making 2 Change: "C" Command"; see Section III, "Making
Chenges without Slash Marks"). The Editor searches the
file to locate whet you have contained within this
string.
When you start an editing session you are at the
"top" of the file---in document terms this means that
you are at the first line of the first page. The Editor
works downward into the file just as you would read
down a page of text, turn it over, and read down the
next. There are commands that will bring you back to
the top of the file (Top, Up), or quickly bring you to
the bottom of the file (Bottom)
In the next subsection we will edit our APHORISMS
file and you will see first-hand how the Editor functions.
"Getting into EDIT
You ere going to edit @ file named APHORISMS, so type
SEDIT APHORISMS ->
EDIT APHORTSNS—
EDIT 1.1
>
Compare this to the interaction we hed with the computer
when we created @ new file (Section I). Since the APHORISMS
file is already contained on the disk, the System does not
inform us that it is a "new" file. It also does not auto-
matically put us into TNPUT
You are now in Edit.
Loceting @ String: The
The magic letter here is "L"---it stenés for Locate
Let's say we want to locate "Every cloud has a silver lining,"
and change it to something more in tune with reality-
say, “Every Rolls Royce has a silver lining." So we type,
Command
L /eloud/ ->
The computer "knows", due to the way it's been programmed
that the letter L followed by 2 space which is in turn followed
by a string separator, is a command to Locate what is contained
within the string separators (in this case, slash marks). The
computer seerches the APHORISMS file from the top downward until
it comes to the first occurrence of what has been contained
within the string separators, end then it prints it on the
screen or printe:
Every cloud has a silver lining.
‘The reason we asked the computer to locate cloud is that cloud
is a fairly unique word. We can tell by looking at our hard
copy that the sentence we went to locate is the only sentence
with the word "cloud" in it. We wouldn't ask the computer to
locate “a” because it would locete the first "e" in every
sentence it found on the way to the "a" in this particular
aphorism including the "a's" contained within words. Even-
tually it would locate the you had in mind. Tt would
not, however, locate the "A" contained in "A stitch" end
12"A little" because they are capital A's, not small a's
Remember that the computer will locate only exactly what
you ask it to locate. If it occasionally won't find
something for you, check what you've asked it to look
for---often you'll have stuck in an extra space, or mis-
spelled or capitalized when you shouldn't have.
Making a Change: The “C" Command
Now that we've located the proper line we'll attempt to
change it. To do this we again use the "string". When we
use the Chenge command, we instruct the computer to change
what we contain within one string to whet is contained within
another---C /change this/to this/. Make sure you leave a
space after the "C". Let's do it. On your screen or
printer should be the located line,
Every cloud has a silver lining.
>
So type,
>¢ /clovd/Rolls Royce/ ->
Every Rolls Royce hes @ silver lining.
Now let's try another. This time we'll use another
method to locate the string.
Locating a String: The "P" and "U" Commands
This time we want to locate “gathers no moss." Since
we know approximately how many lines away we are, we can
instruct the computer to print out that many lines by typing
"Pp" for Print and then the number of lines we want printed.
BP 5 ->
Every Rolls Royce hes a silver lining.
A rolling stone
gathers no moss.
Ooops! We had it print one too many and we are now
on a blank line. We therefore want to move up one line,
and we do this by typing,
Bor
gathers no moss.
Replacing 2 Lin "R" Command
This time we want to change the whole line, end so
it becomes easier to use the "Replace" commend.
The Replace command comes in two varieties---one designed
for replacing a single line with a single line; the other
for replecing 2 single line with more than one line
Since we are replacing but a single line in this example
we'll deal with thet variety of the Replece command
We type "R" and space once; then we indent to where we
went the new line to start; type the new line; the old
line will be automatically deleted:
> must stop sometime. ->
If we were to use the other variety of the Replace
command, it would look like this:
>R =>
INPUT
must stop sometime.
You could then keep inputting. To get out of INPUT and
back into EDIT you would type a cerriage return twice in
succession.
and "N" Commands
Locating a String: The
This time we're going to make 2 change to the first
aphorism we typed---"A penny saved." We can't use the "L"
Command to locate this line because it only works downward
from our current point in the file. In other words, if we
wanted to locate something below us---"You can leed 2 horse",
for instance---the "L" Commend would be fine. It will not
travel upward, however. So insteed we'll use "T" for "Top."
This will bring us to the top of the file.
4So type,
and you'll be at the top of the file. Now you can use "L'
to locate "A penny saved"
>L /penny ->
A penny saved
>
You've been misled: it's really the next line we want
to change. This time, though, instead of using "L" or "P",
try "N"---this means "Next", end will print the next line
Type,
oN -
is a penny earned.
Let's change this to "doesn't add up to much." Type,
>R doesn't add up to much. ->
Deleting Text: ‘The "DE" Command
Locate "A stitch in time saves nine." You should be
able to do this by yourself now. Got it? Good.
This particular aphorism has never made a bit of sense
to the author of this manual, so let's get rid of it. we'll
do this by utilizing the "DElete" commend. Simply type
>DE ->
Thet's all there is to it. If you wanted to delete 4
lines, you'd type DE 4; if 20, DE 20; if you wanted to delete
everything in your file from that point on, you'd type DE *
Another way you can delete is to contain within string
separators the first few words of the last sentence you
want deleted---i.e., if you are at the top of a 10-line
Peragraph, the last line of which is "Thanks for your
Prompt attention to this matter.", you could delete all
10 lines either by typing DE 10 or DE /Thanks/ (thet is, if
no other sentence contains the word "Thanks").
i;Locating 2 String: The "B" Commands
Here's yet another method of line location. This time
we're going to add on a line to the horse aphorism which is
at the bottom of the file. Type,
>B->
but you can't make it drink.
>
If, when originally inputting this file, you added
a few carriage returns at the end, then all you'll get is
a blank space. If this is the case, use the "U" command
(U /But) and the line will appear.
Adding Text: The "I" Command

aIIT. OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
Initializing
Initializing is 2 habit you should get into. It's
really guite simple. All you do is type en "I" every
time you put 2 disk in your machine and close the doors:
a1 ->
I
3
That's ell there is to it.
What initielizing does is bring the directory from
the disk into access by the computer. Another way of looking
at it is this---if you went to @ large apartment building
looking for a friend, you would look for his or her neme on
@ tenant directory. If there was no directory, you'd have to
knock on every doot or just give up. It's the same with the
computer---when you initialize the file, it makes it easier
for the computer to locate a certain file.
Try to get into this hebit. We won't indicate in this
manual when you should initialize---just do it every time you
close the door on 2 disk.

Sen Section IV for details.
Formatting 2 New System Disk
In most cases, the disk to be formatted should have a
silver tab placed over the bottom notch on the side (Figure
14). The silver tab should cover both the front and back
of the notch. The silver tab allows you to "write" on the
disk (vie the keyboard); sometimes this feature is not
desired on a disk; in those cases, no tab would be
pleced on the disk.
Put the System Disk in Drive 0 and close the door;
the System should issue e prompt; if not, Bootstrap
Type,
SFORMAT S ->
(at this point, put disk to
be formatted into Drive 2
close door).
DISK ID:EGRET (Give it eny neme you like!
READY?¥ =>
When the System issues a prompt sign, the disk is
formatted. Now you should move all the programs from the
Master Disk in Drive 0 to the disk in Drive 2. Type,
8NOVE P=
When the prompt sign appears, you may remove the disk in
Drive 2 and label it. Indicate that it is a System Disk.
Formetting 2 New User Disk
Again, the disk to be formatted must have a silver tab
placed over the bottom notch (Figure 1A). The system disk
must be in place in Drive 0, and the door must be closed
Tf the system prompt sign (%) is not present, Bootstrap
(hit the reset button and then a carriage return). When the
prompt appears, you are ready to issue 2 command. Perform
the following sequence:
SFORMAT ->
FORMAT

blank disk)
DISK ID:HERON (can be anything you like
READY?Y =>
19Do not remove the disk while the red lights are flashina.
When the red lights stop flashing, the disk is formatted
Remove the disk and label it.
To find out what is contained on the disk located
in Drive 2, type
8caT
and the system will list the contents. D=2 means
“list the contents of Drive 2 only."
To find out what is listed on the Disk in Drive 0,
type
3ca’
>
P=& means "Properties equels anything." In other words
the system will list everything on the disk in Drive 0
including all the special programs it contains if it's @
System Disk.
How to Delete 2 F
List the directory of files as explained in the previous
subsection. After deciding what file you want deleted, type
SDELETE APHORISM
DELETE APHORISM
DELETE 2/APHORISM (¥/N/A/Q) ?¥ ->
%
>
The computer has 2 helpful way of making sure files
are not inadvertently deleted. That's why it poses the
question "(¥/N/A/Q)?" to you. “Y" means yes (delete);
"e" means no (don't delete); means all (delete all of
them and don't ask again); "Q" means quit (don't delete any
of the files and stop the whole procedure)If you want to delete more than one file at a time,
you simply list all the names of the files you wish to
delete: 3 files named Matisse, Renoir and Bonnard would
be listed like this:
SDELETE MATISSE RENOIR BONNARD ->
DELETE MATISSE RENOIR BONNARD—
DELETE 2/MATISSE (Y¥/N/A/Q)?
Whet the computer does is ask you one by one if you
want a file deleted. Again, this is a wey the computer has
of making sure files are not inadvertently deleted. You may
either answer yes or no each time; or you may respond with an
"A" which will instruct the computer to delete all the files
you have asked to be deleted without asking you each time; or
you may respond with 2 "Q", which means to delete nothing
and stop the whole procedure.
How to Copy 2 Disk
If you wish to make a copy of an entire disk, the
procedure is quite simple. First insert into Drive 0 the
system disk. Close the door. Bootstrap. Type,
SCOPY.DISK
COPY.DISK
After you have typed COPY.DISK, and before you continue,
remove the system disk, place into Drive 0 the disk you will
be copying from, place into Drive 2 the disk you will be
copying to, and continue:
DRIVES READY?Y
VERIFICATION COMPLETE. 0000 ERRORS
g
That's all there is to it. You will notice that efter
you type a "Y" for "yes" the machine will become guite active
for a few minutes. Do not remove the disks until the red
lights stop flashing.
If any errors are listed at the end of this transaction,
it could be that the disk you used as e receptor was bed, or
thet some minor electrical mishep occurred during copying.
Repeat the procedure.
2How to Copy a File
The procedure for copying a file is the seme as that
explained in Section I, "Creating a Backup Disk." Refer to
that Section for instructions on copying a file.
If you wish to copy more than one file, list 211 of
the filenames you want copied at the same time (see below).
Make sure you leave 2 space in between filenames, so that
three files named IRIS, MARIGOLD and DAISY would be listed
this way:
Making Changes Withovt Slesh Marks
Occasionally you will find that you need to make 2 change
which includes a slash mark---you want to change in/out to
out/in, say. It is helpful to know that other symbols can be
utilized in place of the slash mark. In cases such as these,
pick one of your favorite symbols---how ebout $---end use it
where you would ordinarily use the slash:
€ Sin/outSout/ins ->
