Press the INSERT key four times to create spaces for the word NOT plus a
space. The cursor remains at the beginning of the insert area:

NOW I:3ill THE TIME
t·jm.J

:3i*.l THE TI t'lE
Enter the word NOT. and a space:
t·jO~·J 1:3 NOT Ij;~HE TII'1E
Use CURSOR RIGHT to move the cursor to the right of TIME if vou want to
continue entering data.
IN5ERT can move text to the end of a statement line (up to two display
lines). but it cannot move text past the end of the statement line onto a third
line. If there is a non-blank character at the last position on the line. or if there are
only blanks between the cursor and the beginning of the line. then the INSERT key
does nothing.
Similarly. you can use DELETE to move text to the beginning of the line.
but not past the beginning of the line; pressing the DELETE key with the cursor
at the beginning position of the line wraps the cursor up to the end of the preced-
ing line. but the characters pulled to the beginning of the line do not move up with
the cursor.
It is important to note here that when you edit screen text using the
CUR50R. IN5ERT. and DELETE keys. what you see on the screen is not al-
ways what the PET records. In facto none of your editing changes are
recorded until you depress the RETURN key. Moreover. you must depress the
RETURN key once for each statement line that you change.
