This paper describes a text processing program for producing documents that are to be reproduced. The program runs on a small (12K) computer with paper tape input, a storage scope display unit and an on‐line teletype. Formatting commands are inserted in the text. Compound commands may be formed form the basic ones. This feature aids the specification of complicated formats required for items such as tables and titles. The user can display a page of text before and after the page is formatted and correct it interactively.
