Data Entry Keyboard
a.
The first character position in the next line,
as shown in
the middle example of Figure 21. Pressing the New Line
key when the cursor is located at A moves the cursor to
B.
In this case, there is no protected field or character
present at the first character position in the next line;
therefore, the cursor is positioned at the left margin in
the next line.
b.
A character position within the next line,
as shown in
the top example in Figure 21. In this case, the cursor is
placed in the first unoccupied location past the pro-
tected fi'eld called "Item Description".
c. A character position on the first new line available.
It
may happen that the first new line contains all
protected fields. Therefore, the cursor must keep
searching until some new line is found containing the
first unoccupied character location in an unprotected
field.
3. If all character positions on the screen are protected,
the cursor is repositioned to the first character location
on line 1.
The New Line key is typamatic and will move the cursor
quickly from line to line.
Figure 21. The New Line key moves the cursor to a new line.
