There have been several recent questions regarding the use of linefeed
patches with SCRIPTSIT from Tandy (aka the non-ROM version of WRITE+ from
PCSG). These programs have a conflict with the most commonly used LF patch,
LFUTL.PW1.  This is a short series of messages discussing this issue.

Does anyone have a patch for Scripsit-100 so that it will a line feed after
a carriage return?  I am using an Epson printer tht can be configured with
dip switches but I prefer not to, since I use it with a Kaypro which
automatically adds the line feed.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

First, thank you for your help on location of CR/LF program in DL7. Have
learned a lot on the path you pointed out. Downloaded LFUTL.PW1, LFUTL.INF and
LFUTL.DES.  I'm using Scripsit 100, written by PCSG, (which has a lot of stuff
in HIMEM and I followed the instructions from Phil Wheeler'message in
LFUTL.INF, changing line 8.

The program worked sometimes, and I thought my problems were solved, but would
frequently hang up...then while trying to get my 100 "unhung" cleared all
memory.  Have reloaded Scriptsit, but hesitant to load LFUTL.PW1 until I know
what I'm doing.  I've been using my 100 for several years,(wouldn't leave home
without it...for WP) and sell larger systems, but I'm definately not a
programmer.

The problem occurs because S-Sit resets the function keys to their cold
start values at exit -- a bit unecessary, since S-Sit does not redefine them
in the first place!

The fix should be pretty easy.  Load the Basic program of S-Sit (whatever it is
called).  Then save it as a DO file (SAVE"SSIT.DO" will do it).

Enter the DO file in Text and look for CALLs.  You should fine the following
sequence in (or near) the line which has the "MENU" instruction:

CALL 23164,0,23366:CALL 27795 (see p. 149 of M100 Manual)

Simply delete this (needless) code.  Go to Basic and do LOAD"SSIT.DO".  You
should get a Basic program which will work (then do SAVE"SSIT" to save it to
menu).

BTW -- all this assumes that the Scriptsit BA program is NOT called SSIT.BA; if
it is choose a different name for the new program.
