Changing Cursor Size

Sometimes it is desirable to change the cursor size for editing operations
such as changing, inserting, or erasing. The control has two cursor sizes
available. There is the single character cursor size, automatically assigned
to the cursor when the edit screen is accessed, and there is the word cursor
size, used to encompass a word and its value for using erasing, inserting, or
changing operations.

Modify the cursor size in the following manner:

1.

Press the continue {

} softkey to change the softkey functions.

2.

Press the {CHAR/WORD} softkey to select the cursor size

(character or word). The cursor size is changed each time that the
{CHAR/WORD} softkey is pressed.
