4. With the terminal TAB key, tab down to the second key you are
changing. Type the command to insert a blank column exactly as
shown in the following example. The syntax for the command tells
TEDIT to replace a null character (““) with a blank space (“ “) in all
lines from the cursor to the bottom of the screen in the column where
the cursor is currently positioned.
F5: paragraph
F6: REPLACE ??, @2, */B, *:*+1, E
F7: REPLACE "", " ", */B, *:*
F8: defineregion
Assign the
INSERT COLUMN
command to F7 .
Type this line
exactly as shown.
5. Press *C to leave the RECONFIGURE FUNCTION-KEYS screen with
the new key assignments intact.
6. Now you can move the entire column of text in the TABLE file to the
left or to the right. Put the cursor in the HOME position. Press the
function key that contains the INSERT COLUMN function (it should be
the key labeled WINDOW on the template). Each time you press it, the
text in every line below the cursor position moves to the right by one
column. Then try pressing the function key that deletes a column; the
text moves to the left by one column each time you press the key.
Remember, if you have the cursor in the wrong position and accidentally
delete a column of text instead of a column of blanks, you can always use
UNDO.
