       | copy and paste which is annoying when you have chucks of
       | "encrypted" text to enter.

         | The text and programs are from a book published in the 80's. It
         | was a series of 10 books I think.

           | I remember seeing these books in my elementary school library
           | decades ago (pre-PC ubiquity) and wondering what to do with
           | them.
