Advanced Euphegrid Commands
These next 2 paragraphs may be ignored, they are written in computerese. Use Shift+Arrow Key to highlight a rectangular block. Press Insert to insert a row or column of spaces before a highlighted block (insert blank line if no highlight). Press Shift+Insert/Delete to insert/delete an entire row/column when a block is highlighted. Press Enter at end of a line of text: insert blank line, back up on that line to line up with beginning of text on previous line. Press Enter on blank line to back up to line up with beginning of text on a previous line, or insert blank line if already at beginning of line. Press Ctrl+Tab to move forward to line up with beginning of first or next word on a previous line. Press Home to move to beginning of text on current line, press it again to toggle between beginning of line and beginning of text. This usage of Enter, Tab and Home is useful for editing program code with multiple indentation levels. The user doesn't have to memorize these commands: type question mark at any time to access the help system.
Superscripts
Superscripts and subscripts in monospaced mode are handled by employing a vertical offset of half a line per level of superscripting or subscripting. The caret symbol (^) is used as a superscript prefix, double-caret (^^) is used as a subscript prefix, and backslash (\) is used as an escape character (terminate super/subscript with a semicolon). Carets and double-carets cannot be mixed (exception: one level of superscript can be combined with one level of subscript).
