Entry Assist
The cursor moves to the next word regardless of the location of the margins. If text is
located outside the margins, the cursor moves to the text without recognizing the
margins. The cursor wraps to the next row only when there are no more words in the
current row. When the last word is reached on the last row, the cursor is wrapped to the
first word on the first row of the screen.
To make autorepeat continue automatically, hold down the Alt and Cursor Right keys.
Move Cursor to Previous Word (Autorepeat)
Press and hold the Alt key, then press the Cursor Left key ( ) to move the cursor to the
beginning of the current word (or, if already at the beginning of a word, to the beginning
of the word to the left). If the cursor is located at the first word on a row, it is wrapped to
the beginning of the last word on the previous row. If the cursor is located at the top left
position on the screen, it is wrapped to the beginning of the last word on the screen.
To make autorepeat continue automatically, hold down the Alt and Cursor Left keys.
Delete Next Word
The Delete Word ( ) key (DelWd key on the 102-key keyboard) is the alternate
function of the Delete Character ( ) key (Delete key on the 102-key keyboard) when
the display is in Document mode. Pressing the Delete Word key erases the character at
the cursor location and the remainder of the word to the right of the cursor. If the cursor
is on the first character of a word, the whole word is erased. If the cursor is on a space or
null, only the space or null is erased. Punctuation and spaces following a word are also
erased (unless only part of the word is erased, in which case the space or null remains).
When a word is deleted, the cursor remains in place and subsequent data on the line
moves to the left. Shifting does not occur for attributes, characters to the right of
attributes, or subsequent lines of data. If deletion is attempted on an attribute or a
protected field, input is inhibited and the Go Elsewhere symbol (
X ) is displayed
on the status row. Press the Reset key to enable further entry.
Cursor Tabbing
Pressing the Forward Tab ( ) key causes the cursor to move to the next unprotected tab
stop. Intervening unprotected null characters are converted to space characters to
preserve the format when data is transmitted to the host CPU. If the cursor reaches an
unprotected attribute before it reaches a tab stop, it stops at the attribute. If no tab stops
and no attributes are defined, the cursor moves to the top left position on the screen.
If there are tabs or unprotected attributes on the screen, tabbing does not allow the cursor
to wrap from the lower right corner of the screen to the upper left corner of the screen.
