Insert (
~
) Key
The purpose
of
the Insert (
~
) key
is
to
allow
you
to
insert a character or
characters into the middle
of
an input field without changing the characters
that are already displayed there.
Pressing the Insert key places the keyboard
in the Insert Mode
of
operation. The Insert Mode symbol ( " ) appears in
the Operator Information Area to remind you
that
your
keyboard
is
in Insert
Mode.
All the keyboard control keys perform normally when in Insert Mode. Notice,
however,
that
when any
of
the alphameric keys are pressed in Insert Mode the
display station performs a unique operation. The examples in Figures 3-24 and
3-25 explain this operation.
In Figure 3-24,
the
information keyed into the ADDRESS field
is
incorrect.
"RED
ROAD, ARVADA, COLORADO" was keyed instead
of
"RED
MAPLE
ROAD,
ARVADA, COLORADO".
Figure 3-24.
Use
the Insert key to insert missing information.
To correct this error, using Insert Mode,
you
would move the cursor
to
the
character position containing the R in the word
ROAD.
RED
~OAD,
ARVADA, COLORADO
(This
is
the position where the word MAPLE should begin.)
Pressing the Insert key places the keyboard in Insert Mode. Now, keying
of
the word MAPLE, followed by one Spacebar depression, results in the
sequence shown in Figure 3-25.
