FIGURE 2.18 Location of Cursor Control Keys
Each key moves the cursor in the direction indicated by the arrow.
The cursor moves one position every time a cursor control key is pressed. Therefore, to move the
cursor to the right 3 positions, the
~
key must be pressed three times.
To move the cursor repetitively, hold down the [
SHIFT ]
key and press the appropriate cursor
control key. The cursor will then move continuously until either of these keys is released.
When the cursor is to be moved to a position nearer to the upper left corner of the screen than to
its current position, first press the [H~~E] key to move the cursor to the home position, then move it
with the cursor control keys to save time.
