3276na
Emulation Mode
Insert
Key
IBM 3276.
During
normal
operation, your
terminal
overwrites
existing
text
when
you
enter
characters
onto a line.
To
type
in
characters
without
overwriting
text
requires
your
setting
the
terminal
for
Insert
mode.
Pressing
the
INSERT key
puts
the
terminal
into
Insert
mode.
To
return
the
terminal
to
its
normal overwrite operation
requires
your pressing
t~e
RESET key
or
any
key
that
causes
host
communicatication (such
as
the
ENTER key,
the
PA
keys,
or
the
PF keys).
The
effect
of
Insert
mode depends upon
the
screen's format:
•
In
an
unformatted
display,
as
you
insert
characters, existing
text
is shifted to
the
right.
These
characters
may
wrap
across lines or from
the
bottom line of
the
display to
the
top
line.
• After
entering
Insert
mode,
if
you
try
to
enter
a
character
into a protected field
or
an
attribute
byte,
the
keyboard locks
and
the
((Go
Elsewhere"
message
appears
in
the
Status
Line.
•
If
the
cursor
is
within
an
unprotected field, you
may
insert
characters
into
the
field
as
long
as
space is available between
the
cursor's
current
position
and
the
end
of
the
field. Charac-
ters
forced from one
line
automatically wrap to
the
next
line. When
the
field to
the
right
of
the
cursor
completely
fills
with
data,
the
keyboard
locks,
and
the
message
~,
((Too Much
Data"
appears
in
the
Status
Line. J
HP
2625A.
Insert
mode functions similarly.
If
you
attempt
to add more
data
than
the
field
can
accommodate,
the
message
UX
Too
Much
Data"
appears
in
the
Status
Line.
To
enter
Insert
mode, press
the
III key.
You
may
exit
Insert
mode
as
you do on
the
IBM 3276.
Additionally, you
may
again
press
the
III key to cancel
Insert
mode. (This follows
the
HP
practice of
exiting
Insert
mode;
this
feature
is
not
provided on a 3276.)
Delete
Key
IBM 3276.
The
operation of
the
DELETE key depends on
the
screen's format:
•
Within
an
unprotected field (or
with
an
unformatted display),
pressing
the
DELETE key
erases
the
character
at
the
cursor's
current
position. The cursor
retains
its
position while
the
remaining
characters
within
that
field (up to
the
end of
the
line)
shift
one position to
the
left.
Subsequent
lines
are
unaffected.
•
If
you press
the
DELETE key when
the
cursor is
within
a protected field
or
an
attribute
byte,
the
keyboard locks
and
the
((Go
Elsewhere"
message
appears
in
the
Status
Line.
HP
2625A.
Pressing
the
• key duplicates
the
delete operation
of
the
3276. (However,
continuing to hold down
the
• key
repeats
the
delete operation.
The
3276 does
not
provide
this
feature.)
