GIVE YOUR TYPING FINGERS A BREAK AND LET THEM TURN A FEW PAGES. 'The Spectrum Workshop - word processing and beyond' by Randle Hurley, published by McGraw-Hill Book company at £6.95 (paperback, 142 pages). This is a little cracker if you want to use your machine for something more useful, than saving the universe from hordes of aliens or trekking on an adventure. In 11 chapters you learn to use word processing programs which build up into modules that can each be used as components for other projects. Author Randle Hurley gives listings for the programs and breaks the lines into chunks to explain them fully. The programs are designed for use by newcomers and each is supported by some useful operating instructions and advice. For the more experienced user there is enough documentation to allow modification of software. Programs included are Specpro, a basic word processor; and the more advanced Spectext; Specfile, a filing system; and Specmerge, which takes the output of the word processor and merges two files. There are suggestions for how to use these programs, a section on attaching a printer and an appendix of the machine code memory map. As a good reference work on word processing, this book is very suitable.
