Moving the Cursor
The keyboard cursor is the location on the screen highlighted in inverse
video. To move the cursor, follow one of the methods described below.
Keyboard Cursor Movement
There are four cursor keys marked with arrows on the keyboard. These keys
perform the following movements:
•
Up-pointing arrow moves the cursor up.
•
Down-pointing arrow moves the cursor down.
•
Right-pointing arrow moves the cursor to the right.
•
Left-pointing arrow moves the cursor to the left.
The cursor keys do not wrap. This means that pressing the right-pointing
arrow when the cursor is already at the rightmost point in a menu will have
no effect. The cursor keys do repeat, so holding the key down is the fastest
way to continue keyboard cursor movement in a given direction.
Home Key (or corner arrow) If you want to move the cursor to the
first item in a menu, press the Home key. If you want to move the cursor
to the last item in a menu, press the Home and Shift keys simultaneously.
Next and Previous Keys The Next and Previous keys are used for
paging through listings. The Next key will display the next page of data,
if one exists. The Previous key will display the previous page of data, if
one exists.
Selecting a Menu Item
To select a menu item using the optional keyboard, position the cursor (the
location highlighted in inverse video) on the desired menu item using one of
the methods described in the section "Moving the Cursor" and press either
the Return or the Select key.
