Publication 2706-817
To enter or edit an application description:
Important: The description is downloaded to the terminal with the
application, so it uses terminal memory.
1. Select the Description box and type the description. The text
automatically wraps.
To change the location of the insertion point in the Description
box, move the I-beam pointer or use the arrow keys. The insertion
point moves with the text when the scroll bar is used.
– To start a new line, press CTRL+ENTER.
Note : ENTER alone closes the Description dialog.
– To delete text, drag pointer over the text to highlight it, then
press
BACKSPACE or DELETE.
– To replace text, drag pointer over the text to highlight it, then
type the new text.
– To add text, position the cursor where you want to insert text
and then type the new text.
– Use any of the standard Window editing functions to edit text.
2. When done, select OK to close the dialog.
To edit a description in a different application:
Change the application name in this dialog if you want to enter or
revise a description in a different application than the open one. This
change does not affect the open application.
1. Select the Application Name box. Highlight the text, then type a
new name.
2. Create or edit the dialog for this application file.
3. Select OK to close the dialog.
