GETTING ACQUAINTED
Now,
to make sure these exercises will work as described, put the terminal settings
at their factory default values. (Factory default values are settings
that
are
predefined in the
terminal
before it leaves
the factory.)
Enter the following command by typing it on the keyboard (you may
use uppercase or lowercase
letters),
and remember to press Return
to terminate the command
:
FACTORY
The asterisk and the word FACTORY disappear from the screen and only the
blinking cursor
is
left in the upper-left corner. This command resets all of the
terminal's settings to their factory default values, and takes the terminal out of
Setup.
Since the FACTORY command took the terminal out
of
Setup
,
you'll need to put it
back
in
Setup to continue with the
exercise.
Go ahead and do that now:
Press the Setup
key.
EXERCISE 2: ENTERING COMMANDS
In this exercise, you will learn how to enter
commands.
But first
,
we'll look at how to
correct mistakes made while entering commands.
CORRECTING COMMAND ENTRY MISTAKES
If you make a typing mistake while entering a command and notice it before
pressing the Return key, use the Rub Out key to correct the
error,
or enter Ctrl-X
(hold
down the Ctrl key while you press and release the X key)
.
Rub Out moves the
cursor back while deleting individual characters; Ctrl-X deletes the entire line and
returns the cursor to the beginning of the
line.
Try these two techniques
now.
Type in these characters
,
but don 't press the Return
key:
SATUS DIALOG
Press the Rub Out key to erase each letter in DIALOG
.
Press the Ctrl-X key combination to erase SATUS and return to the
beginning of the
line.
