Edit

The edit key starts the edit operation if the 5100 is in the home or scroll state.

To change the data on the input line of the display screen, use the backspace and

forward space keys and the insert and delete functions. To end the edit operation,

press the ATTN or EXECUTE key to transmit the edited line, or press the home

key.

Line Delete

During an edit operation, pressing the line delete key deletes all characters on the

input line to the right of the cursor, including the character at the cursor position.

Shift Lock

Pressing the shift lock key once locks the keyboard in upper shift. The keyboard

remains locked in upper shift until you press the shift lock key again, the EXECUTE

or ATTN key while the 5100 is online, or press the shift key and enter an upper shift

character.

If the last character transmitted was a lower shift character, pressing the shift lock

key transmits an upper shift function character and locks the keyboard in upper

shift. If the last character transmitted was an upper shift character, pressing the

shift lock key only locks the keyboard in upper shift; no upper shift function

character is transmitted. When the keyboard is locked in upper shift, pressing the

shift lock key transmits a lower shift function character and unlocks the keyboard.

When the keyboard is locked in upper shift, pressing the shift key with the last

character transmitted only unlocks the keyboard; no lower shift function character

is transmitted.

Tab Set

Pressing the tab set key sets a tab at the cursor location; no tab character is

transmitted. Tabs cannot be set beyond position 132.

Tab Reset

Pressing the tab reset key clears the tab, if any, at the cursor position. No data is

transmitted when this key is pressed.
