J Pitch Field. Displays the
pitch (10, 11, 12, or 15) of the

Scale Line
The scale line (Figure 2-2) displays
when a document is being created or
revised. It shows the margins, the
temporary left margin, the tabs, the
center point, and the cursor position
in effect for the cursored line. The
cursor position is represented by a
highlighted scale line position. When
typing text in the proportional space
mode, the cursor character position in
text may not match the cursor position
on the scale line.
Typing and Menu Area
This area displays the menus or the
text being created or revised. The
cursor also displays in this area and
appears as a brighter underline. When
it is under a character position, that
character is brighter.
The cursor can be moved to any charac-
ter in the document by using the cur-
sor movement keys on the keyboard. It
can also be moved to an area of the
display where there are no characters.
An example would be to move the cursor
past the carrier return on the writing
line. This cursor placement causes
the system to prompt that it is a
non-keying area, and keyboard entry is
inhibited until the cursor is moved
back to a character in the document.
In the menus, the cursor is usually on
the prompt line and moves only when
text is inserted by typing or removed
by backspacing.
Line length is the space between the
left and right margins and can be up
to 255 characters. Segmenting dis-
plays lines longer than the 80 charac-
ter width of the display by moving the
text horizontally through the display.
Segmenting occurs when the cursor is
moved past the first or last character
position on the writing line.
Long document pages t~at do not fit on
the screen can be displayed by scroll-
ing. Scrolling moves the text verti-
cally through the display. Attempting
