@X0EFull Screen Editor - Keyboard Help
@X0E----------------------------------

@X0BTo use PCBoard's full screen editor you need to familiarize yourself with the
@X0Bfunctions listed below utilizing the PC's keyboard (or control sequences in
@X0Bcase your system does not support the PC's specialized keyboard):

@X0F   @X0BExit Full Screen Editor @X0F    @X0CESC               Ctrl-U

@X0FUsing the above keystrokes
@X0F--------------------------
@X0BAll systems should be able to use the Control Key method of performing the
@X0Babove functions (press and hold the CTRL key while typing the letter key that
@X0Bfollows it in the above table).

@X0BThe more familiar PC Keyboard keys, such as the arrow keys, will work while on
@X0Blocally.  They will also work if your communications program is capable of
@X0Beither sending the actual keystroke (keyboard scan code) or an ANSI escape code
@X0Bequivalent through to the host system.

@X0BAn example would be calling in from remote using Qmodem to connect to PCBoard
@X0Band utilitizing either the 'Doorway Mode' or the 'Keyboard Emulation' in Qmodem
@X0Bso that keystrokes are passed directly on to PCBoard.

@X0BThe ANSI escape codes are an alternate means of telling PCBoard to move the
@X0Bcursor around on the screen.  Qmodem's "Keyboard Emulation" feature makes use
@X0Bof these ANSI codes without the need for Doorway Mode.  Other comm packages
@X0Bmay be able to program the ANSI escape codes into function keys.


@X0FInsert Mode
@X0F-----------
@X0BWhile in 'Insert Mode' it should be noted that characters to the right of the
@X0Bcursor will be pushed one character to the right as each letter is typed.

@X0BAdditionally, pressing the (Enter) key while in Insert Mode will cause a new
@X0Bline to be inserted.


@X0FNON-PC KEYBOARD USERS PLEASE NOTE!
@X0F----------------------------------
@X0BSome modems and packet switch environments will filter out CTRL-S keystrokes
@X0Band interpret them to mean "stop sending data".  In these environments
@X0Bpressing CTRL-S will not move the cursor as expected - in fact it will
@X0Bappear to do nothing.  You will need to press CTRL-Q to get going again.

@X0BYou can work around this by using CTRL-A which means move left to previous
@X0BWORD rather than moving a character to the left.

@X0BThose of you who can send either an ESC[D or the PC scan code for the Left
@X0BArrow will not encounter this problem and will never have to worry about it.
