3276/78 Emulation Mode
When
either
Page key is pressed,
the
cursor
retains
its
current
column position.
If
you press
one Page key
then
the
other,
at
the
end of
this
sequence,
the
cursor
is
displayed
at
its
initial
position (even
though
a different grouping of lines
may
appear
on
the
screen).
Horizontal Movement Keys
IBM
3276.
The
CURSOR LEFT
and
CURSOR
RIGHT
keys move
the
cursor one
character
position
in
the
indicated direction each time you press
the
key. When
the
cursor reaches
the
screen border, pressing
the
CURSOR LEFTkey wraps
the
cursor to
the
last
character
position
in
the
previous line, whereas pressing
the
CURSOR
RIGHT
key wraps
the
cursor to
the
first
character
position of
the
next
line.
The 3276 also provides ((double-speed" horizontal movement keys
that
are
the
Alternate
Shift
counterparts
of
the
CURSOR LEFT
and
CURSOR
RIGHT
keys. They behave similarly to
these keys except
they
move
the
cursor two character positions
at
a time.
HP
2625A.
The
_
and
_ keys duplicate
the
operation of
the
CURSOR LEFT
and
CURSOR
RIGHT
keys.
If
pressing a key accesses a row position
that
is
beyond
the
viewing
. window,
the
terminal
«rolls" the\ workspace to
bring
that
line into view.
As these keys
repeat
at
a relatively rapid pace
if
you continue to hold
them
down,
the
HP
2625A does
not
support
the
double-speed cursor positioning keys.
Backspace Key
IBM
3276. The BACKSPACE key duplicates
the
operation of
the
CURSOR LEFT key.
HP
2625A.
The
a key provides
an
identical implementation.

appear
