This document provides a comprehensive guide for two programs designed for the PS/8 system:
- SCOPE (Scope-Oriented PS/8 Editor): A symbolic editor for creating and modifying ASCII source files. It features a scope-based display with a key-controlled cursor for navigation and editing. The guide covers calling the editor, editing commands (including string searches and clear functions), extended character conventions, and internal operations.
- CNGMWA: A utility used to change the size of the Manuscript Working Area (MWA) used by the SCOPE editor. It generates a new copy of SCOPE with a user-specified MWA size, limited between 1 and 235 (256-word blocks).
The manual also includes detailed error diagnostics for both programs.
