Now that you have entered some text, you can go back and make some
changes to it. The first thing you do is move the cursor to the place where
you want to make the change. Most of the editing you do is done at the
cursor position. For example, you can replace one letter with another by
simply typing the new letter over the old one. You can erase the letter the
cursor is on by pressing the
SPACE bar.
Many of the keys you use to move the cursor are terminal function keys.
There are also TEDIT function keys (like the ones named on the template).
As you read through the following paragraphs, try each one of these
terminal keys as it is introduced to see how it works:
HOME , SPACE bar,
BACKSPACE , arrow keys ( → , ← , ↑ , and ↓ ), RETURN , TAB , and BACKTAB .
Note For information about the terminal function keys not discussed here, refer to the instruction
book that comes with your terminal.
