EDIT VS and Your Terminal Your terminal must be able to operate in full-screen page mode to use EDIT
VS. The Tandem 6530 is such a terminal, although EDIT VS works the same
way on other Tandem terminals with full-screen capabilities. Here the 6530
terminal keyboard illustrates the various keys you can use when running
EDIT VS at your terminal.
For more information about the Tandem 6530 terminal, refer to the 653X
Multi-Page Installation and Operation Guide
.
With the keyboard of your terminal, you use the keys to control the
functions of your terminal and to communicate with the computer. The
keys you see on your terminal keyboard can include:
Alphanumeric key s are the standard typewriter-style keys used to enter
alphabetic and numeric characters.
The numeric key pad is organized in the standard adding- machine
layout and used when large amounts of numeric data need to be
rapidly entered from the keyboard.
Cursor control keys are used to position the cursor anywhere on the
screen.
Editing keys are used to insert or delete one or more characters or lines
on the screen.
Special purpose keys are unrelated keys such as
BREAK PRINT , and RESET that provide your terminal with
expanded capabilities and control.
Numbered function keys are used to perform whatever function they are
assigned by the program you are running on the computer.
When you use EDIT VS:
You press the cursor control keys to position the cursor on the screen.
You press a numbered function key or an editing key to perform an editor
function at the cursor. Figure C-3 illustrates the keyboard of a Tandem
6530 terminal and highlights the various keys that work with EDIT VS.
