- Ron,
- The editing features of PERFORM are well documented. Look in the User
- Guide. When inside a field, Ctrl-a toggles between insert and overwrite
- modes. Ctrl-l moves the cursor to the right and Ctrl-h moves it to the left.
- There is also the Ctrl-p feature which will fill each field with the
- values of the last record entered and tab the cursor to the next field. Some
- of our users find the Ctrl-p to be quite handy.
