      Your articles must be typed and saved as a normal ASCII text files.

      Most  text  editors  save  in  this  format so there shouldn't be a
      problem.

      Each article when displayed on screen will be shown as 24 lines per
      page. (Split Screen - 24 each side)


      An  article  with  Up  to 200 pages can be shown !    So that means
      that  you  musn't  type  more  than  4800  lines of text.    phew !


      That works out at 200 pages * 24 lines of text = 4800 lines.


      Your  articles  can include coloured text and every character could
      be  a  different  colour  if  you wanted it to be !    A maximum of
      fifteen colours can be shown.
      @1 1-White (default)
      @2 2-Red
      @3 3-Yellow
      @4 4-Green
      @5 5-Cyan
      @6 6-Blue
      @7 7-Purple
      #1 8-White   (flashing)
      #2 9-Red     (flashing)
      #310-Yellow  (flashing)
      #411-Green   (flashing)
      #512-Cyan    (flashing)
      #613-Blue    (flashing)
      #714-Purple  (flashing)
      #815 Various (multi-Cycling)

      To  use  any  of  these  colours  within your text articles you are
      required  to type in special codes before your text.    A full list
      of  these  codes can be found in your manual or you could load this
      text file into your favourite text editor to see how it's done.

      Let's  say  you  wanted  a  line  of red text followed by a line of
      yellow text:

      @2This is a line of red text.
      @3This is a line of yellow text.

@4
      Now  let's  say  you  wanted a line of red text with a flashing red
      word in the sentence:


      @2Normal red text here followed by #2FLASHING TEXT @2is also possible.

@4
      Do  NOT  type any more than 79 chars per line (including codes) and
      do NOT use the TAB key to include spaces !


      DMC is not compatible with TABS and they will not format correctly!

      As always, your text filess can be tested in the Article Tester.
