- CURSOR and SCREEN CONTROL KEYS
-
- Using the Arrow Keys on the Number Pad
- --------------------------------------
-
- The arrow keys on the number pad will move the cursor one character in
- the indicated direction.
-
- When you reach the top or the bottom of the screen, the up and down
- arrows will cause the screen to scroll one line.
-
- When you reach the left or right MARGINS, the left and right arrows
- will wrap to the beginning of the next line or the end of the previous
- line.
-
- Using the arrow keys on this screen, move them around to extremes to
- see how they behave.
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- Using the Arrow Keys on the Number Pad with the Ctrl key
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- When you hold down the Ctrl Key and press the left or right arrow
- keys, the cursor will jump to the beginning of the previous or next
- word on the line in the indicated direction. If there is no next or
- previous word, the cursor will move to the Left or Right margin in the
- indicated direction.
-
- When you hold down the Ctrl Key and press the up or down arrow keys,
- the cursor will jump straight up or down to the beginning of the
- previous or next paragraph. If there is no previous or next
- paragraph, the cursor will move to the Top or Bottom line of the file.
-
- Hold down the Ctrl Key and test the arrow key action.
-

-
- The Home and End Keys on the Number Pad
- ---------------------------------------
-
- ┌────────────────────────────────┐ Assume the box to the left is
- │ W │ screen, and the line of 'x's is a
- │ │ line of text. Also assume the

- Press the PgDn Key
-
- The PgUp and PgDn Keys on the Number Pad
- ----------------------------------------
-
- You have been using the PgDn key to move through these HELP files. As
- you have noticed, PgDn will move you one screen's worth of lines
- toward the end of the file.
-
- Similarly, the PgUp key will move you one screen's worth of lines
- toward the beginning of the file. As long as you do not run into the
- top or the bottom of the file, the cursor position relative to the
- screen will not change.
-
- CtrlPgUp will position the cursor in the upper-left hand corner of the
- screen at the top of the file while CtrlPgDn will position the cursor
- in the lower-left hand corner of the screen at the bottom of the file.
-
- Try these keys in this file and return to this screen.
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- The Tab and ShiftTab Keys
- -------------------------
-
- The bottom line of the screen indicates the column in which the cursor
- is located. It also depicts the margin and tab locations as they are
- currently set.
-
- Pressing the TAB key will move the cursor to the next TAB (or Margin)
- column to the right (shown as L,I,T, or R).
-
- Holding down the Shift key and pressing the TAB key will move the
- cursor to the previous TAB (or Margin) column to the left.
-
- (Note: the TAB key has no effect on the Command Line.)
-
- Move the cursor into the text area and try a few TAB's and ShiftTABs.
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- The Enter Key
- -------------
-
- The Enter key is actually the subject of discussion in the HELP file
- "ENTR_KEY". Suffice it to say here that in general it will move you
- to the Left Margin and down one line.
-
- It may or may not insert a new line in the text.
-
- It is also used on the Command Line or in fields to signify that an
- instruction or input item has been completed and is ready to be acted
- upon.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- The GOTO Command (nn on the Command Line)
- ----------------
-
- At the right of the Command line is a number indicating the current
- line number (or row) of the file on which the cursor is currently
- located.
-
- Move the cursor to the asterisk below. (Row should = 137).
- Now press the Esc key to move the cursor to the Command Line.
-
- On the Command line type 129 and press the Enter key. As you can see,
- the cursor is moved to the line specified by the line number on the
- Command Line.
-
- NOTE: Do not type the word "GOTO" - only the desired line number.
-
- (*)
-
- Press the PgDn Key
-
- The MOVE nn Lines Command (+nn or -nn on the Command Line)
- -------------------------
-
- Notice the Row number on the Command Line. With the cursor on the
- Command Line type +5 and press the Enter key. As you can see the
- cursor moves 5 lines toward the end of the file.
-
- Now replace the "+" with a "-" so that the Command Line reads -5 and
- press the Enter key again. Now the cursor moved 5 lines toward the
- beginning of the file.
-
- These are useful commands to use for browsing when the PgUp or PgDn
- keys (which shift the screen 20 lines) is not quite what you want.
-
- NOTE: Do not type the word "MOVE" - only +nn or -nn.
