Screen Mode

Center Cursor is the default mode. In this mode, the cur-

sor begins near the center of the display and attempts to

remain there as you scroll through the data. Upon reaching

an outside boundary of the full CRT screen, the display

stops advancing while the cursor moves beyond the center

of the screen. When the cursor reaches the boundary of the

CRT screen, an error tone sounds (the hand-held computer

“beeps”). The cursor does not wrap to the next line in the

display. This option is recommended when your application

program sends the full CRT display to the hand-held com-

puter.
The Corner Mode option starts the display at the upper-

left corner of the full CRT screen and keeps the cursor in

the lower-right corner of the display. As you scroll, the cur-

sor remains there as data advances in the scrolled direction

(up, down, right, or left)—until an outside boundary of the

full CRT screen is reached. Then the screen stops moving in

relation to the display and the cursor moves in the scrolled

direction (the cursor no longer remains in the corner of the

display). When the cursor reaches the CRT screen boundary

it stops moving. The cursor does not wrap to the next line in

the display. An error tone sounds if you try to move the cur-

sor beyond the boundary. This option is recommended when

your application uses only the upper-left corner of the full

CRT screen.
The Page Mode option divides the full CRT screen into

predefined “pages,” and starts the hand-held computer dis-

play on page 1. The cursor first appears in the upper-right

corner of the display. As you scroll, only the cursor moves
