HomeWord was a word processing program by Sierra-Online released in 1983.  I don't think this is the full manual, but it sure does help to use the program.  Thanks to one of our visitors for pointing out this could be found on archive.org.

Here's a link to the Commodore 64 HomeWord program if anyone's interested in giving it a spin.

Image BBS v1.0 Manual (Revised)

Documentation for the Commodore 64 BBS program called IMAGE.

INQUIRE PAC is designed to be user friendly for both the computer novice as well as the seasoned expert. It allows for the manipulation of up to 200 individual records with up to 15 distinct fields of information ranging from 1 character up to 250 characters.

INSTA-SPEED is a BASIC compiler for the CBM 64. The programs originate in the United Kingdom and are improved and upgraded versions of DTL BASIC COMPILER, developed for Commodore business computers.

The function of a compiler is to convert a program from its source form (ie. the form in which it is written) into a more efficient form that can run much faster than the original.

INSTA-SPEED has been specially optimized for the CBM 64 and it not only makes every BASIC program a lot faster but will also make each program significantly smaller, except for programs with only a few lines.

INSTA-SPEED is 100% compatible with CBM 64 BASIC. This means that any existing 8ASIC program can be compiled without any alteration, to produce a program that peforms exactly the same, and yet is much faster and requires less memory and disk space.

INSTA-SPEED is designed so that it can be people with no programming knowledge to existing programs. Yet for more experienced range of facilities is provided to enable potential of the CBM 64 to be realized.

Congratulations! you have just purchased the fastest, most versatile EDITOR ASSEMBLER on the market. lEA is capable of assembling up to 17k source fiIes in less then 4 seconds.

APPEND, BLOCK SAVE, HEX TO DECIMAL, and DECIMAL TO HEX to name a few.

KWIK-LOAD! is a software utility program for the Commodore 64 or Executive 64 computer. It speeds up the way the disk drive reads information on a 5 1/4" floppy diskette. It will work with one or two Commodore 1541 disk drives. KWIK-COPY, a second program on the diskette, uses simple screen menus to guide you through otherwise complicated procedures. With KWIK-LOAD! and KWIK-COPY you can:

• Load programs and data more than 300% faster;
• Copy diskettes more than 300% faster;
• Test your disk drive for proper operating speed;
• Edit information on a diskette directly by track and sector;
• Display and write diskette directory information in alphabetical order; and
• Perform DOS (Disk Operating System) operations: format and validate disks, scratch and rename files.

Thanks to Anthony for providing this manual.  It's a bit rough because it's a scan of a photocopy, but I haven't seen it anywhere else on the net, so it's much appreciated.

The following manual is intended as a reference for both STANDARD Kyan Pascal and ADVANCED Kyan Pascal. Those chapters which apply only to STANDARD Kyan Pascal are marked (STANDARD); those chapters which apply only to ADVANCED Kyan Pascal are marked (ADVANCED). You will find that most chapters apply to both versions.

Thanks BlueCursor for the upload.

We will try to avoid the complications of programming terms, but if it becomes necessary to discuss something of a technical nature, we will attemptto simplify and explain everything each step of the way.

The MIRAGE WORD PROCESSOR was written during the first nine months of 1983 by professional programmers who had obtained Commodore 64 computers for home and recreational uses. Realizing the untapped potential of the machine, and the total void of strong application software available for it, these programmers set out to produce a series of programs which would rival those compatible with computers costing thousands of dollars more. Their guidelines were simple: make the programs powerful, practical, and easy-to-use, while keeping the price in a range deemed reasonable by users from all walks of life. We think they succeeded admirably in reaching these goals, and we think you'll agree!

You can find the program here.

A new computer application has been making a splash recently: Desktop Publishing.  This means the complete creation of all kinds of printed matter (letters, advertising, brochures, invitations, etc.) on the computer, including the layout, variation of the fonts used, and the integration of graphics.  Although some conventional word-processing programs already offered such possibilities, there were many restrictions, and the final result was usually only seen when it was printed out.  In desktop publishing, on the other hand, you do the complete design on the screen and see the result there just as it will be printed out later.  WYSIWYG means in computers: “What you see is what you get”.
