Case 8000 Series - 4.2 How the Manager Works

4.2 How the Manager Works
4.2.1 Input
Input to the manager is simple. You enter the command or information as
an ASCII string, then terminate and submit it for evaluation by entering
carriage return or line feed.
The editing functions available are:
Deleting a Character
When a delete (
DEL) or backspace (BS) character is entered, the character to
the left of the current cursor position is removed and all characters to the
right of the deleted character are moved left one position.
Cancelling a Line
When a control-U (
^U) or a control-X (^X) character is entered, the entire
input line is cancelled.
Left-Right Cursor Keys
When a cursor key is entered, the current cursor position is moved in that
direction. If, however, the cursor is at the left-most or right-most position
within the text on the current line, then no action is taken. If a character is
entered, it is inserted at the cursor position, and if there are characters to
the right of the cursor, those characters are moved right one position.
Repeating a Line
When
^R is entered, the previously submitted command line is recalled and
replaces the current line, ready for re-submission or editing.
4.2.2 General Rules
Each input line can contain more than one command, with commands
being separated by a semicolon (;).
All commands are accepted in any mix of upper and lower case and can be
terminated by a space, comma, or semicolon.
If the Router finds an error within an input line, any further commands on
that line are abandoned and the user is informed of the failure.
