ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for improving the efficiency of an operator of an interactive text processing system in which a plurality of different text processing task programs are each stored on a different single-sided, single-density (1S1D) diskette so that in the creation and use of a text document involving several different tasks, the operator's efficiency is decreased due to the time involved in inserting and removing each required diskette. The method involves creating a combined program diskette on a two-sided, double-density (2S2D) diskette by sequentially transferring program modules for interactively selected text processing task programs from corresponding 1S1D diskettes under the control of a "Combine" program. The method provides one 2S2D combined text processing program diskette containing all the programs necessary to create and use a specific text document by means of the selected tasks.
