Figure 102 - Typical Text Edit Screen
The screen shown in Figure 102 is typical of all screens using the edit text
operation. All screens have the F3, F4 and F5 keys in common (if applicable).
Once in the 'editing field' all operations are performed on the character in reverse
video.
Pressing the [cursor left] and [cursor right] keys will move to the next character
position in the string. Pressing the [cursor up] and [cursor down] keys will cycle
through the characters contained in a set, each time the key is pressed. Note that
when the first member of a set is displayed, pressing [cursor down] will wrap
around to the last member of the set.
There are four sets of characters available. Press the [F3] key to cycle among the
sets. The sets consist of:
• the upper case letters A through Z
• the lower case letters a through z
• the numbers 0...9 and the characters '.' and '-'
• the characters: space _ ( ) [ ] { } < > | @ # $ % & * ! ^ + = ; : ?
Note: these character set may vary depending on the language selected.
A special set consisting of A through Z, 0...9 and the underscore character are
used for filenames and cannot be selected via the [F3] key or modified by the [F5]
key.
When a letter is in the editing field, pressing the [F5] key may change its case.
To delete the entire string (i.e. fill it with spaces), press the [F4] key.
To abort the changes to the string being edited press the [backspace] key. This
will restore the string to its contents when the screen was first entered.
The editing operation is completed by pressing the [enter] key. Changes are not
permanently made until the screen is exited via the [F10] key.
