This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

KEYWORD: Novel, or just A Novelty?

KeyWord is a program which offers a new way of looking at the teletext
service.

With KeyWord, you don't have to follow through long chains of index pages
to find the information you want.  You simply type in a keyword and the
pages containing that keyword are found with a single teletext cycle.

In fact, anyone desperate to try out this fun program should go off and do
so now - although this document goes into some depth on how to use
KeyWord, you actually know enough already to get 90% of the benefit from
using it. See you later!

Welcome back... Now you've seen the program in action the instructions
below might be easier to follow.

You will soon learn the knack of choosing your words carefully.  It is not
very useful, for example, to type NEWS as this will swamp you with pages -
many of which will only be references to the news pages elsewhere.

You should be more precise, and key LATEST NEWS or SPORTS NEWS.

Sometimes, you may be too precise: if you are waiting for the latest
red-hot political scandal, you may have asked for MRS. THATCHER, which
would miss any items about PRIME MINISTER THATCHER or MARGARET HILDA
THATCHER.

In this case, you would simply key THATCHER.


The program also allows you to find pages in the traditional way, by
number.  However, if you simply type in the number of the page you want,
KeyWord will think you are looking for a page with that number in it, as
text.

To make sure KeyWord understands that you want a page of that number,
first press function key SHIFT-F0.  The cursor will then move up to the
page number area where you must type in a three digit page number.

Notice that all special characters in this system are shifted: SHIFT-F0 to
SHIFT-F9, and SHIFT-RIGHT-ARROW, and SHIFT-LEFT-ARROW. This may seem a
little awkward.  The reason this was done was to allow you to
re-distribute the functions to whichever keys you prefer. 

This is possible because the unshifted keys remain as soft-keys, including
the cursor keys and the copy-key.  Thus you can put the select-page
command mentioned above on, say, F4 by issuing the command: *KEY 4 |!|@

F0 is |!|@, F1 is |!|A, and so on up to F9 which is |!|I.


The other thing you will need to be able to do is to change channel.  This
is easily done.  To switch to channel two, press SHIFT-F2, to channel
three, SHIFT-F3 and so on.

The KeyWord program has one other feature of note:  it has some very
sneaky code which can display the screen in upper-half/lower-half style
just as televisions do.  This is a feature of the BBC Micro that even the
people at Acorn didn't know about!

Unfortunately, it works by doing strange things to the video chips, and is
not guaranteed to work on everybody's system.  So if it works on yours,
consider it a bonus - if it doesn't, don't complain!

The keys you use to get at all the features mentioned in this file are
also summarised within the program itself.  You will get the help page any
time you press escape.


The final comments on KeyWord are concerned with the way pages are stored
and updated.

If a page contains the text string which was requested, or the number
matches the number keyed, then the page will be accepted.

Up to ten pages may be captured in this way, and the 10 slots can be
filled very quickly indeed. (Try looking for a page containing simply the
letter A, for example.)

Once those ten slots are full, no more pages can be received until you
tell KeyWord that you have seen the page you are looking at and are ready
to move on to the next one.

You do this by pressing RETURN.  You will now see the next page on the
screen, and the highlight cursor on the bottom row will move on to the
next slot.

This action has not only shown you the next page, but has also told the
system that you are finished with the page you have just looked at.  This
allows KeyWord to put any page for which it did not have room into that
discarded slot.

As you read each page in turn, the cursor will advance one slot each time,
until you reach the tenth slot - at which point it will wrap round to the
first slot again.

If there were less that ten pages with the keyword in it, the unfilled
slots would have been blank as you stepped through them.

Had you wanted to see the other pages, but not discard the one you were
looking at above, you could have wandered up and down the slots by using
the SHIFT-CURSOR KEYS.  SHIFT-RIGHT-ARROW is very similar in effect to
RETURN, with the sole exception that the page just vacated is NOT
discarded, but remains there until you go back to it to discard it with
the RETURN key.

SHIFT-LEFT-ARROW works just like its counterpart, but in the reverse
direction.


Finally, one tiny detail I overlooked above:  If ever a page is received
which has the same page number AND sub-page number (e.g. Page 701 subpage
8) as one already stored, the system shall update that page with the new
copy.

This is not problematic on BBC channels, where every page has a different
sub-page number when it should, however, it could be confusing on the IBA
channels where different versions of a page often share the same sub-page
number.


I realise this may have been more detailed in places than you may have
wished - however you are now armed with all the information to make best
use of KeyWord... so be off, and have fun.  Comments and suggestions for
improvement are welcomed by the author.
