EDITING WITH CURSOR CONTROL KEYS
Another easy thing to do with the cursor keys
is to change a specific letter or number
anywhere on the screen. For example, let's
change the word FREE to UNUSED. First, use
the CURSOR JP/DOWN key to get to the cor
rect line, then, the CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT key
until the cursor is blinking on top of the letter
F in the word FREE.
SCREEN 1
Now, press the U key. You have just erased
the F and replaced it with a U, and the cursor
has moved one space to the right to blink on
top of the R.
SCREEN 2
Press the N key to replace the R. The cursor
now rests over the first E.
SCREEN 3
Press the U key again to replace the E. The
cursor has moved over the second E. Replace
it by pressing the S key. The cursor is now
blinking in an empty space. Just type in the
last two letters, E and D, to finish the word
UNUSED, and you're done.
