Backspace Key; Symbols And Punctuation Marks - IBM 3270 Operator's Manual

Operator Console Keyboard
Pressing the Backspace key moves the cursor one character space
to the left for each depression of the key. This key operates
exactly like the horizontal (left) positioning key and is also
typamatic. (The duplication of key function is provided for
operator convenience.)
These characters are divided into two groups because of their
physical locations. The first group contains the symbols that are
located on the upper part of the keys that have the numerals 1
through 0 on the lower half. The second group are those
characters located on keys that have two special symbols on
them. The symbols that appear on the upper half of a key
require depression of the
SHI
FT key to be displayed. Figures
29
and 30 show the locations of all symbols and give each symbol's
name.
