Edit Fields

Setup uses overwrite mode in text editing fields. That is, the cursor keys cannot be
used to move to a location in the text t o insert characters. Upon entry to a text field,
the cursor is placed at the last text location. Use the following keystrokes:

Backspace

– Move cursor left by deleting that character.

Shift-Backspace

– Reset the field to its default value.

Alphanumeric keys

– enter text in the normal, shifted, or control state. To generate a

control character (00h-1Fh) add 40h and use

Ctrl

with the character in the new

position (40h-5Fh). For example, to insert

CR-LF

(0Dh, 0Ah) codes, press

Ctrl-M

,

Ctrl-J

(4Dh, 4Ah). The compose and meta functions can also be used to generate

8-bit characters.
