d�"ANY ADVANCE ON EIGHTY?"
n�"**********************"
xG�"Is there any VIEW expert who can tell me how to get more than 80"
�L�"characters per line?  My printer (a Canon BJ300) will print up to 160"
�O�"characters per line at 20 per in. but I cannot get more than 80. Also if"
�L�"using proportional spacing and justification on both margins it still"
�3�"requires more than 80 for a full line width."
��
�M�"Another problem ,which may be cured by the same means, is that I often"
�Q�"need to emphasis two or three names in a line of normal type. To do this I"
�M�"pass the required codes to the printer using Highlight 2 & Highlight 1"
�H�"(Func.J & Func.H). Usually VIEW moves the wording to the right to"
�M�"accommodate these extra codes, but there seems to be a limit before it"
�M�"automatically moves to the next line.  Three emphasised names per line"
�M�"means an extra 54 character spaces to pass the codes and VIEW does not"
�P�"like it. At present I have to be content with Capitals and then underline"

=�"the printed page in ink. So any help would be welcome."

@O�"Thank you for the most recent edition of E.U.G. (Issue 9), and the first"

J�"ever on disk."

T�

^N�"Teething troubles must be expected, of course.  I couldn't get the file"

hP�"'Mornington' to load or run or even list.  But never, mind, I am sure all"

r?�"the Elk users will appreciate your herculean efforts!"   

|�

�L�"Yesterday I went out in search of a proper computer desk.  I had been"

�O�"making do for a long time with an old bar table - too high and narrow by"

�H�"far - and needed something better.  The trouble is, most computer"

�L�"furniture is designed for office use and tends to be expensive.  Also"

�P�"these desks tend to be designed with PC's in mind, not messy Electrons. I"

�P�"eventually found what I was looking for in our local branch of MFI. Their"

�O�"'Pronto' range of self-assembly kits include several computer desks, and"

�P�"the one I considered best suited to my set-up, the 'Hobby' desk, had been"

�;�"reduced in price to just a penny under fifteen quid!"

��

�O�"This desk might have been designed with the Electron in mind, because it"

�J�"has a very wide work surface, easily accommodating the Elk and data"

�P�"recorder.  The top shelf supports the monitor and a printer, and there is"
L�"a very generous gap between the main shelf and the top shelf, so that"
P�"swopping cartridges should be fairly straightforward.   I have just tried"
O�"it with the larger size of cartridge, a Romplus-144, and there is a good"
&O�"half-inch or so clearance, but you have to slide the Elk out in order to"
0P�"push the cartridge into the slot.  (I have my computer and its interfaces"
:H�"on a sheet of plywood so I can slide it easily back and forward)."
D�
NP�"The desk isn't made of wood, of course, but it has a black ash 'finish'." 
XM�"With some of MFI's desks you get a choice of finish, but not with this"
bI�"one.  There is a bottom shelf a foot or so off the floor wich will"
lN�"accommodate bits and pieces, manuals and so on.   I have an Apollo plug"
v:�"block and this sits tidily away on the lower shelf."
��
�P�"I managed the assembly O.K., but a word of advice....if you possibly can,"
�Q�"get someone to help.  It is a lot easier if you have someone handy to help"
�O�"handle the bits and pieces, especially when you get the thing partly put"
�Q�"together.    Whenever I assemble one of these MFI kits I carefully put all"
�N�"the screws, dowels, etc., into little bowls so I know exactly where the"
��"different items are."
��
�O�"So there you are. If any Elk users are looking for a cheap, sturdy desk,"
�:�"have a look at this one whilst it is a 'sale' item."
