Inserting a Message Block You can insert a message block (if free message blocks are available)
between two previously existing message blocks by pressing the [Ctrl] and
[I] keys. The new message block is inserted after the message block that
was being displayed when the insert message block command was pressed.
For example, assume that the DL5 contains the following message which is
stored in two separate message blocks:
Assume that the cursor is positioned at the first character in the first
message block. The DL5 display will appear like this:
Note: The cursor does not have to be in the first character position.
If the [Ctrl] and [I] keys are now pressed, a new message block will be
created after the first message block. The DL5 will display:
If the message <IN SHIPPING> is entered in the new message block, the
message would now contain three message blocks:
Deleting an Entire Message You can quickly delete an entire message from memory by pressing the
[Ctrl] and [E] keys. The command will erase all of the message blocks
contained in a message.
For example, assume that the DL5 contains the following message which is
stored in two message blocks:
Assume that the cursor is positioned at the first character position in the
second message block. The DL5 display will appear like this:
If the [Ctrl] and [E] keys are now pressed, the DL5 will first display:
Next the [Y] and [Retrn] keys must be pressed to confirm that the message
is to be deleted. The DL5 will delete the message and then display:
