Business Letter This example shows the spacing and formatting for a business letter. The following
TGAL commands are used:
PAGELEN defines the number of lines on each page to be set at 70.
OUTLEN sets the line length to 62 characters. This command indirectly controls
the right margin.
COMMENT allows you to write comments with your commands. These
commands do not print as text.
POFF sets the left margin to indent 10 character spaces.
TOPMARGIN sets the top margin to begin 15 lines from the top of the page.
HEAD places a heading on the third line above the first line of text. In this
example, the top margin begins on the line 15, and the heading
appears on line 19. The HEAD command contains a null string and
specifies the TODAY option. Thus, only the date appears on the line
designated for the headings.
SECT controls page numbering. In this example, the page numbering is
turned off.
SPACE adds three blank lines.
JOIN joins text lines to the length specified in the OUTLEN command until
it reaches the JOIN OFF command.
