- **** WARNING ****
-
- Since the program is in the EDIT mode the Lotus keys are operative,
- however the user is strongly advised to use ONLY the UP, PGUP, DOWN
- and PGDN keys to scroll through the lines, the program doesn't allow
- scrolling to the sides by hiding all the columns except the current
- column. Trying to unhide the columns MAY destroy the program code.
- For example: if by mistake you have pressed the "/" key, press ESC
- to exit back to the READY mode and then press F2 to enter EDIT mode,
- or just continue typing, or press ENTER to exit the EDIT mode.
