Talk:Scripsit

message: One thing I remember clearly about using an early version of the Scripsit Word Processor (circa. 1983) was the ridiculous procedure of "closing the file" you were working on when you were finished editing.  No, this wasn't the same as "saving" or exiting the program, it was a separate operation that you just had to remember to do. There were no reminders, and if you forgot to do so, you couldn't get back into the file you had been editing.  Too bad, "user beware."  Such things were common in the early days of commercial PC software, such as early versions of DOS, where a simple typo in the "DELete" command could result in an irreversible mass-wipe of the hard drive!  We've come a long way, but have we come far enough? Landroo 14:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

*Tim Nevels (Independent Computer Software Professional), October 1979 – March 1990 (10 years 6 months) Worked on a Radio Shack Model II computer and the Scripsit word processing program. Developed a system of over 30 mail merge/form letters that were used for correspondence with individuals. It was amazing at the time and allowed one secretary to send out over 100 personalized letters in just a few hours.
*Q4) What word processing programs could be used on the CoCo? Name:SCRIPTSIT, Format:Cart/DOS 	Type:com, Coco:1,2,3, Features:I have to mention this poor pathetic Radio Shack word processor.  Not having seen the disk version, I can say the cartridge one was pretty sad.  The 32 column "windowed" over the full page, so you could never see the entire document.  Enough said.
