Screen Labels for Function Keys
The eight function key labels tell what tasks the corresponding eight function keys cur-
rently perform. An uppercase label indicates a performable task-an asterisk in a label
tells you it is active (more than one function at a time can be active). A lowercase label
indicates that pressing the corresponding function key displays another label set. so you
can cycle through all available functions. Two numbers between the labels for WI and
IBJ
tell where the cursor is: the first is the row. the second the column.
