3.1.6 Change Scale Line Origin
To change the scale line origin, place the cursor at the first scale line
position and press the Cursor Select key. The origin changes from 0
to 1, or vice versa. Margins, tabs, and 'end of line' signal position
numbers are changed by 1 relative to scale line numbers, but there is
no change in position relative to actual screen columns.
3.1.7 Permanence of Entry A.ssist Parameters
The following Entry Assist parameters are preserved across entry to
and exit from document mode until they are changed by the
operator or until power is removed from the 3274 Control Unit:
• Margin settings and types
• Tab stop settings
• Audible line-ending signal position
• Word wrap status
• Scale line origin.
In addition, APL mode and insert mode states are preserved across
entry to and exit from both document mode and change format
mode.
3.2 Cursor Movement and Editing Keys
The following capabilities, which provide a great deal of flexibility
during text entry/edit operation, are available in document mode.
3.2.1 Word Wrap
Word wrap is a capability that automatically moves the last word on
a row to the next row if the word would otherwise overrun the right
margin, but only if the entire next row from the left margin to the
right margin contains nulls or spaces .
Any length word less than the total space between the margins
(exclusive of the margins) may be wrapped. Space characters are
placed in the position formerly occupied by the wrapped word.
