\CU\ \CD\ \CR\ \CL\
[CURSOR UP] Moves the cursor up one line, to the same horizontal
position if possible. If the position is in the
middle of a tab, it moves to the end of the tab. The
"Cursor Positioning Mode" determines whether the
cursor can be positioned past shorter lines.
[CURSOR DOWN] Moves the cursor down one line, to the same
horizontal position if possible.
[CURSOR RIGHT] Moves the cursor to the next character. At the end
of the line, it moves to the beginning of the next
line. In Cursor Positioning Mode = 4 the cursor is
permitted to move past the end of a line.
[CURSOR LEFT] Moves the cursor to the previous character. At the
beginning of a line, it moves to the end of the
previous line.
\BT\ \ZP\ \LT\ \NL\
[BACK TAB] Moves the cursor to the first character of the screen
line or, if already there, to the first character of
the previous screen line.
[ZIP] Moves the cursor to the end of the current screen line
or, if already there, to the end of the next screen
line. Use [LINE TOGGLE] to move to the end of lines
extending off the screen.
[LINE TOGGLE] Moves the cursor to the end of the text line or, if
already there, to the beginning of the line.
[NEXT LINE] Moves the cursor to the beginning of the next screen
line.
\PW\ \NW\
[PREVIOUS WORD] Moves the cursor to the first character of the current
word or, if already there, to the beginning of the
previous word.
[NEXT WORD] Moves the cursor to the first character of next word.
\SU\ \SD\ \SR\ \SL\
[SCROLL UP] Similar to [CURSOR UP], except that the cursor remains
on the same screen line and the screen moves down
instead.
[SCROLL DOWN] Similar to [CURSOR DOWN], except that the cursor
remains on the same screen line and the screen moves
up instead.
[SCROLL RIGHT] Moves the screen window right to view long lines
going off the right side of the screen.
[SCROLL LEFT] Moves the screen window left to view the beginning
part of long lines.
\TB\ \TC\
[TAB CHARACTER] In Overstrike Mode it moves the cursor to the next
tab stop, same as [TAB CURSOR]. In Insert Mode or at
the end of a line it inserts a tab character <CTRL-I>
(or optionally spaces to the next tab stop). You can
turn "Typewriter Mode" off to make [TAB CHARACTER]
always insert a tab character (or spaces).
[TAB CURSOR] Moves the cursor to the character at the next tab
position. Note that this only moves the cursor.
\PP\ \NP\
[PREVIOUS PARA] Moves the cursor to the beginning of the current
paragraph or, if already there, to the beginning of
the previous paragraph.
[NEXT PARA] Moves the cursor to the beginning of next paragraph.
\PU\ \PD\ \ST\
[PAGE UP] Moves to previous "page" of text - similar to typing
[CURSOR UP] for 3/4 screen lines.
[PAGE DOWN] Moves to next "page" of text - similar to typing
[CURSOR DOWN] for 3/4 screen lines.
[SCREEN TOGGLE] Moves the cursor to the last allowed screen line, or
if already there, to the first allowed screen line.
\IN\
[INSERT] Toggles between the "Insert" and "Overstrike" modes.
\BS\ \DC\ \EE\ \EL\
[BACKSPACE] Deletes the character to the left of the cursor.
At the beginning of a line it deletes the preceding
<CR><LF> pair, effectively merging two lines together.
[DELETE] Deletes the character at the cursor position. The
cursor doesn't move. A lone <CR> or <LF> will also be
deleted, but a <CR><LF> pair will both be deleted as
one.
[ERASE EOL] Deletes (erases) all characters from the cursor
position to the end of the text line. If the text
line is blank, it deletes the blank line.
[ERASE LINE] Deletes (erases) the entire text line.
\DP\ \DN\
[DEL PREVIOUS WORD] Deletes the previous word and any following spaces if
the cursor is at the beginning of a word. Otherwise
deletes only that portion of the word to the left of
the cursor.
[DEL NEXT WORD] Deletes the entire word and any following spaces if
the cursor is at the beginning of a word. Otherwise
deletes from the cursor position to the end of the
word.
\EC\
[ENTER CTRL] Enters the next character, whether a displayable character, a
control character or an 8 Bit character, into the text.
\CA\ \ES\
[CANCEL] Cancels the current operation, e.g. any pull-down menu or any
prompt. It cancels any operation taking place because of a
[REPEAT]. At the edit level (no prompts) it removes the
first block marker (if set). When "Auto-Cancel [FIND] and
[REPLACE]" is disabled, [CANCEL] also cancels any search and
replace strings.
[ESCAPE] Escapes from the current prompt or menu level. At the edit
level it pops up the {ESCAPE} menu from which you can cancel
operations or exit/quit the editor.
\RE\
[REPEAT] The next typed character or edit function is repeated. This
is either a multiple of four or the number typed in. Press
[CANCEL] to abort.
\ID\ \UD\
[INDENT] Increases the "Indent Position" (same as the left margin) by
the amount of the "Indent Increment". Each new line is then
automatically padded with tabs and spaces to the Indent
position. The padding will also take place on the current
line if the cursor is before any text on the line.
[UNDENT] Decreases the "Indent Position" by the "Indent Increment",
until it is zero. One [UNDENT] therefore cancels one
[INDENT].
NOTE: If the cursor is within a highlighted block, these functions
will indent/undent the entire block.
\FP\
[FORMAT PARA] Formats the current paragraph so that all text appears between
the left and right margins. The left margin can be set from
the {CONFIG} sub-menu or with the [INDENT] and [UNDENT] keys.
At completion, the cursor is positioned at the beginning of
the next paragraph. Print Formatter commands will not be
formatted. The paragraph will also be justified if the
justify option is set from the {CONFIG} sub-menu.
\VE\ \VS\
[VISUAL EXIT] Visual Mode is exited to Command Mode. The current
cursor position in the edit buffer becomes the Command
Mode edit pointer position.
[VISUAL ESCAPE] This is identical to the [VISUAL EXIT], except that
any current command execution is aborted.
\BC\ \BM\ \RC\ \RM\
The operation of these special editing functions depends upon how many
block mark
