Setting Up Function Keys to Move Columns
Creating an Oversized Table

Using the REPLACE response lines is the easiest if you want to give the
REPLACE command only once or you want to change it a little each time
you give it. TEDIT saves the information you type on the response lines,
keeping it in effect until you change it or exit from the file. Because TEDIT
saves the information, you save time by not having to retype everything
when you want to reissue the command or when you want to change only
one field in the response lines. Here is one way to give the command to
move the text to the left by nine columns:
1. Place the cursor in column 1 of the first line.
2. Press REPLACE. When the response lines appear, type the information
shown in the following example.
Replace: " "
With: ""
In lines: */B
In columns: 1:9
Options: Replaces a blank space
with nothing; two
quotation marks with
nothing between indicate
a null character.
Columns 1 through 9
All lines from the cursor to
the bottom of the screen
3. Press *C. TEDIT performs the replacement, moving all the text to the
left by nine columns.

The following examples show you how to assign the commands that insert
and delete columns to two function keys. Some advantages of having these
commands on function keys are:
You can use the DELETE COLUMN and INSERT COLUMN functions
consecutively without having to type all the information on the
response lines each time.
You can save the functions of inserting and deleting columns in your
TABLE profile.
