Insert Line
When you use the insert
lir~
"\ edit function, the text line containing the cursor and all text
lines below it roll downward one line, a blank line is inserted in the screen row containing the
cursor, and the cursor moves to the left margin of the blank line. Note that when Memory
Lock mode is active, inserting a line within the locked area of the screen does not change the
size of the locked area.
From the keyboard, each time you press the •
key the terminal inserts one blank line. If
you hold the key down, the terminal continues to insert blank lines until the key is released.
This function is disabled in Format mode, and is disabled in the configuration and User Key
menus.
From a program executing in a host computer, you insert a blank line at the current cursor
position using the following escape sequence:
Ec L
Delete Line
When you use the delete line edit function, the text line containing the cursor is deleted from
display memory, all text lines below it roll upward one row, and the cursor moves to the left
margin. Note that when Memory Lock mode is active, deleting a line within the locked area
does not change the size of the locked area.
From the keyboard, each time you press the •
key the terminal deletes one line of text. If
you hold the key down, the terminal continues to delete text lines until the key is released or
until there are no subsequent text lines remaining in the workspace. In the latter case,
pressing or continuing to hold down this key has no further effect.
This function is disabled in Format mode, and is disabled in the configuration and User Key
menus.
From a program executing in a host computer, you delete the text line at the current cursor
position using the following escape sequence:

Insert Character
When the insert character editing function is enabled, characters entered through the key-
board or received from the host computer are inserted into the workspace at the cursor
position. Each time a character is inserted, the cursor and all characters from the current
cursor position through the right margin move one column to the right. Characters that are
forced over the right margin are lost. When the cursor reaches the right margin, it moves to
the left margin in the next lower line and the insert character function continues from that
point.
