Use the Program Search feature to begin program execution from some
block other than at the beginning of the program. This feature requires the
operator to establish the necessary G, M, S, F, and T words, work
coordinate offsets, etc., that should be active for that block’s execution.

The control is capable of starting a program at a chosen block and
establishing any previous G, M, S, F, and T words work coordinate offsets,
etc., that were established in previous blocks using the search with memory
feature. For details, see section 7.4.

The program search feature is not effective for subprograms and
paramacros; only blocks that are in the main program can be searched.

To perform a program search operation:

1.

Press the {PRGRAM MANAGE} softkey. Note the program to
search must have previously been selected for automatic execution as
discussed in section 7.2.
