Entry Assist Functions
This section describes the Entry Assist functions for display stations attached to 88-key,
102-key, 104-key, and 122-key keyboards.
The Entry Assist functions (formatting controls, cursor movement, and editing func-
tions) are activated by entering Document mode (PF13 or F1) and pressing the Change
Format key (PF15 or F3). A format scale appears at the bottom of the screen that allows
format parameters to be altered. Cursor movement and editing controls are given to
certain keys upon entry into Document mode.
Entering Document Mode
When the display station enters Document mode, the DOC message is displayed on
the status row. The DOC message disappears when the display station is taken out of
Document mode.
Format Controls
When the display station is in Document mode, press the Change Format key to display
the format scale. This scale appears at the bottom of the display screen. A reverse video
block cursor is displayed on the format scale in the same column position as the chosen
cursor in the display area (the cursor’s vertical position has no effect on the format scale
cursor’s position). See Figure 5-1 for an example of the format scale.
To hide the format scale, press the Change Format key again.
