The numeric keypad

Whenever Deckman expects you to enter a numeric value a keypad will
appear like the example in Figure 3.2. The number you enter is shown at
the top in larger size; a message is shown below which usually gives the
current value.


The keys down the right have the following functions:

Escape: this exits without making any changes

Backspace: deletes the last digit entered

Minus: makes any value entered negative. For
inputting West longitudes or South latitudes as
these are both considered negative on Deckman.

Enter or Return: tells Deckman to accept the
value entered
