Terminal Input/Output Control

When entering a command at the prompt, the following control codes may be
entered for limited command line editing.

N

ote

The presence of the caret ( ^ ) before a character indicates
that the Control (CTRL) key must be held down while
striking the character key.

^X

(cancel line) The cursor is backspaced to the beginning of the line. If the

terminal port is configured with the hardcopy or TTY option
(refer to

PF

command), then a carriage return and line feed is

issued along with another prompt.

^H

(backspace) The cursor is moved back one position. The character at the

new cursor position is erased. If the hardcopy option is
selected, a "/" character is typed along with the deleted
character.

<DEL>

(delete or
rubout)

Performs the same function as

^H

.

^D

(redisplay)

The entire command line as entered so far is redisplayed on
the following line.

^A

(repeat)

Repeats the previous line. This happens only at the command
line. The last line entered is redisplayed but not executed.
The cursor is positioned at the end of the line. You may enter
the line as is or you can add more characters to it. You can
edit the line by backspacing and typing over old characters.
