After selecting a part program to be edited, use the following method to
add lines, blocks, or characters to the part program. The control should be
in the edit mode at this point with EDIT: displayed in the input area of the

To enter blocks in a program:
1. Move the block cursor to the location in which program blocks or
characters are to be added using the up, down, left and right cursor
keys.
2. Type the program characters to be entered in the input area. Press the
[EOB] key (end of block) at the end of each block.
If a mistake is made keying in a character before it is sent from the
input area the input lines may be edited as described in chapter 2.
3. Press the [TRANSMIT] key to send data from the input lines to the
program display area.
Important: After data has been sent to the program display area of the
screen (lines 7-22) it can no longer be edited using the input cursor.
4. Repeat these steps until the entire program has been entered.
