Mode-Shifting The Display On The Screen; Before You Begin; Shift Right - IBM 5150 Manual To Operations

MODE-Shifting the Display on the Screen
You may find that the first two or three characters on a
line of the display do not show up on the screen. If your
display device does not have a horizontal adjustment
control, you can use the DOS MODE command to shift
~
the displayed lines to the right.
Before You Begin
You need only your DOS Diskette to do this.
Shift Right
1
Make sure that DOS is ready and A> is displayed
(although you probably can't see it).
2
Type this:
mode
,r,t
Check your typing-did you put the space and then the
comma before the "r"?
When it's okay, press the Enter key.

Now a test pattern will appear on your screen.
