The CONTROL Key
As shown above, some functions are executed by using a combination of the CONTROL key
(designated by CTRL or CTL on the key) and a specified character. To execute one of these
functions, hold down CONTROL while you type the specified character.
Note: The use of the CONTROL key is indicated by a caret (^) before the character to be typed
while CONTROL is held down. For example, to enter a ^C, hold down CONTROL and
type a C.
How to Terminate a Command
After you have typed a command and pressed ENTER, you can terminate the command in
most cases by typing a ^C. (Remember, C for cease.) When you type a ^C with a print
command the printout will stop at the point where the ^C was typed.
How to Delete Characters
Press the BACKSPACE key (or type a ^H) to delete the previous character. Press
BACKSPACE as many times as necessary to delete the mistake, then type the correct
characters. You must make the corrections before you press ENTER.
