Moving the Cursor All editing activity occurs at the cursor position. To edit a message, you
must first position the cursor at the characters that are to be changed. The
following commands are used to position the cursor.
Forespace [Ctrl] [L]
This command moves the cursor one character position to the right. You
select the forespace command by pressing the [Ctrl] and [L] keys. If the
cursor is already at the last character position, the cursor will move to the
first character position on the left side of the display.
Note: Many types of terminals have a forward arrow key. This key will
often generate the [Ctrl] [L] command.
Backspace [Ctrl] [H]
This command moves the cursor one character position to the left. You
select the backspace command by pressing the [Ctrl] and [H] keys. If the
cursor is already at the first character position in the message the cursor will
move to the last character position.
Note: Many types of terminals have a back arrow or a [BACKSPACE] key.
Both of these keys will often generate the [Ctrl] [H] command.
Forward One Message Block [Ctrl] [J]
This command moves the cursor one message block towards the end of the
message. If the cursor is already at the last message block in a message, the
command will create a new message block directly after the previous
message block. You select the forward one message block command by
pressing the [Ctrl] and [J] keys.
Note: Do not type [Ctrl] [J] after the final message block has been entered.
A blank message block will be created and displayed as part of the message.
