138. Wordwise-plus bug
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After acquiring version 1.4E of this splendid program, I found that
unfortunately a bug has crept into the Full Indent facility. This bug was not
present on my earlier version, and unfortunately 1.4E is actually on a ROM
rather than on EPROM. This means any corrections can be expensive for
Computer Concepts, and slow to be implemented. The irony is that I was
perfectly satisfied with the version I had before, but it wasn't compatible
with my new Master 128!

The bug appears in two situations. First, I showed you in the previous tip
how you can easily draw a horizontal line across the page. Well, this no
longer works, so you have to remove the "fi" term, and stick in the
appropriate number of spaces or Pad characters. The second problem occurs if
you use Full Indent when in the Double Strike mode; ie you have issued a "ds"
somewhere prior to the "fi", but haven't cancelled it. The indent simply
doesn't work in this situation. The solution is to use "de" just before the
"fi", and then use "ds" again just after. I'm a great fan of Computer
Concepts, but they are definitely getting a raspberry from me this time! I've
since acquired InterWord, and happily it doesn't appear to have similar bugs,
(so far).

NB: The bugs have been cleared in version 1.4F!
