If you press
CD
or
CD
to go on to another program line, the Computer will not realize you have changed a line.
Any time a program is edited (changed), you must press
(ENTE~
after the change!
Note that you can only delete one character at a time. If you want to erase two characters that are next to each
other, you will have to position the Cursor and press
(SHIFT)
~
twice.
When

will move over one space to the left. (You can also delete a character by pressing
(SPACE)
but this puts a space
where the character was.)

Forward
Space/Insert
Characters
When you need to move the Cursor "forward" (to the right) without erasing characters, press
CB .
Notice that this is not the same as pressing
(SPACE) .
If ,the Cursor is displayed at the beginning of a program line
and you move the Cursor by pressing
(SPACE)
,you will erase a character, leaving a blank space in its place.
If you hold
CB
down, a repeat function will be activated and the Cursor will automatically move to the right
until the end of the line is reached.
If you press
(SHIFT)
before pressing
CB ,
you will put the Computer in the Insert Mode and you can insert a new
character between two existing ones. This will not replace any of the characters; it simply creates a blank space
between them so you can put a new character there.
