The second video in my #SEPTandy series, BIG-ly Tandy. I cover Model II SCRIPSIT version 2.1 running on TRSDOS 2.0b as well as SCRIPSIT 16 on XENIX 3.3 for the Models 16/16B/6000. I revisit some of the topics covered by Don Herbert in his 1980s show "Mr. Wizard's World". I cover working with blocks of text, global search and replace, the Help system, and some of the differences in key sequences between these two versions.
