HP 250 - Display Editing Keys

HP 2622D Personal Workstation
Display Editing Keys
These keys are used for modifying input and positioning the
cursor at specific locations on the screen. Each of the keys is
rapidly repeated by holding it down.
The CLEAR key clears the current line or field. If you
press CONTROL CLEAR, only the characters from the present
cursor position to the end of the current line are
cleared from the display. If SHIFT CLEAR is pressed, all
input fields are cleared from the cursor's present
position to the end of the display storage area (which
includes all lines below that are not currently
displayed). If you press CONTROL SHIFT CLEAR, the entire
display storage area is cleared (including all lines not
currently displayed on the screen).
The DELETE key is used to delete the current character
position of the cursor. If you press SHIFT DELETE, the
entire current line is deleted from the display. Note
that the current line can take up more than one row of
the display screen.
The INSERT key allows you to insert characters to the
left of the cursor. Press this key to enter the insert
mode. You can now type in the characters you wish to
insert. To exit from the insert mode, either press the
INSERT key again or move the cursor from its current line
(pressing the ENTER or EXECUTE key also exits you from
insert mode since the cursor is automatically moved from
the current line). You can tell if you are in insert
mode by looking at the Status Display which is described
on page 3-13. If you press SHIFT INSERT, a blank line is
inserted preceding the current line; the cursor then
appears at the first position of the new line.

These keys move the position to the left or right. If
you hold them down, the cursor will move rapidly. The
cursor wraps around to the next line if a margin is
encountered. For example:
