Enhancements to the TextWriter 1000 word processor (by Robert Fingerle) to eliminate screen flicker and enable keyboard auto-repeat: add line 140 SLOW and modify line 175 to check for empty INKEY$. Also adds a multiple-copy print option: if user selects option 4 or 5, a prompt asks for number of copies, and a FOR/NEXT loop (new lines 36, 95, 535, 595) repeats the print routine. Article written using the enhanced version.
