Removing Program Text

You can remove individual characters or entire lines with the editor.

Deleting Characters

The softkey removes the character under the cursor and

moves all characters to the left one place. Repeatedly pressing

will cause text to the right of the cursor to be removed

one character at a time. The softkey works the same way

in both the line number and program statement ﬁelds. When used in the

line number ﬁeld, it deletes only line numbers to the right of the cursor

(not program statement characters).

When using an external keyboard, there are other keys that perform the

same function as the softkey. These are the key

in the cursor keypad and the function key that maps to the appropriate

softkey, for the edit menu or for the character entry menu.

Another way to remove text on a line is by backspacing. Pressing the

hardkey or the softkey on the front panel of the

analyzer removes the letter to the left of the cursor and moves the cursor

(and all characters to the right of the cursor) one space to the left. The

function key or the key on the typewriter keypad of

the external keyboard perform the same function. When the cursor is on

a line number, using backspace simply moves the cursor back one

position without deleting the number.
