Example:
Simple 4X20 VFD Entry Screen
This entry routine displays a complete entry
form before blinking the cursor in the first entry
field. When [ENTER] is pressed to complete
the part number entry, the part number is stored
in VAR#12. The cursor will then blink in the
tare weight entry field awaiting another entry.
Note the use of square brackets [ ] to help
identify the location and size of the entry
window.

Jump to Tag (Macro Independent)
@ < text > [ , macro# ] %J
Jumps backwards or forwards to a tag in the same macro or to a tag in
another macro. The tag identifier can consist of up to 79 alphanumeric
characters, but must not include a comma (,). Each tag within a macro
should be unique, however individual jump commands can be used as
often as necessary. When a macro independent jump is performed, the
jump function begins searching for an '@' character from the beginning of
the specified macro. When it encounters this character, it proceeds to
compare the tag identifier with the jump identifier. When an exact match is
found, macro execution resumes with the command following the tag.
This tag search routine allows jumping to a tagged location that has not
been executed within a macro.

execution continues, however any keypress or received
character that would normally be displayed on the 2X5

the entry window of the 4X20 VFD. The entry window will
persist, even while in the setup mode, until cancelled by a
%K command issued without arguments.
