Open the editor. The page is blank. Type a scene heading like INT. STAGE — DAY and Arqo recognizes it as a scene heading. Hit return.
Type a line of action. Hit return twice. Arqo switches you to character mode. Type the character name in caps. Hit return. Type the dialogue.
That's it. Format is automatic. The Tab and Enter keys cycle element types when Arqo can't tell.
