Talk:IBM SCRIPT
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Script happened earlier than the 1980s...
[edit] examples
Does anyone have access to an example of SCRIPT? John Vandenberg 08:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IBM VM Script goes back to the late sixties
I used it as a rookie at IBM in '77
Here are the commands I remember:
.pa - Page advance .sp - space .ce - center .im - inbed media .lf - left format .ju - justify .rh / R / C / L - running header .rf " - running footer
and the infamous
.fo off - format off
(allowed for wysiwyg text entry; unfortunately, it was the only command that 90% of the salesforce every used.)

- Thanks Mrprtr, much appreciated. Please, please add any other factoids you can add here, as they will be very useful in trying to search journals and the like. John Vandenberg 04:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
