Cursor Movement
Double Speed Cursor
The delete function (activated by pressing the Delete key) is used to delete data
from an input field. When you press the Delete key. the character at the cursor
location is deleted. and all characters to the right of the cursor (in the same
input field) shift one position to the left. Null characters are inserted into the
right end of the field as the characters in the field are shifted left.
This key is also used to delete the recorded keystroke sequence in record mode
(see description of the Record key).
The four Cursor Movement keys move the cursor in the direction indicated by
the arrow without affecting the existing data.
When the cursor reaches the edge of the display screen by pressing a cursor
movement key. the cursor goes off the edge and reappears at the opposite edge
of the display screen. (This cursor movement is called "wrap").
Pressing these keys while holding down the Alt key moves the cursor two
positions at a time in the direction of the arrow. These keys are repeat-action
keys.
