Cursor Control Keys and Editing Keys

The keys listed in this section are specifically used to move the cursor on the
LCD Display. When used in combination with other keys, these cursor control
keys provide some very powerful editing functions.
The cursor's location indicates where you can type text on the screen. Having
the ability to quickly move the cursor around the screen while editing text will
significantly improve your efficiency.
The importance of these Cursor Control keys is more apparent when using
application software such as word processors, spread sheet applications, and
databases. In addition, while using your operating system software (OS),
several of these keys play an important role in moving the cursor or editing.
Refer to your software manuals for details on how to use these keys.
Figure 3-2 highlights both the Keyboard's Cursor Control and Text Editing
keys. A brief discussion of each key follows.
