BendixKing GC 360A - Manual (Page 24)

3. Press the cursor check-off key to
gain access to the new checklist. It
will appear as a blank page topped
by a white header line and followed
by a line which reads “END OF
LIST”. Now you are ready to write
a new checklist. At your option,
rather than pressing the check-off
key after naming a new checklist,
you may instead continue to enter
new names before calling blank
checklist pages to the screen.
4. Program the new checklist by
pressing the appropriate terminal
keys, and by activating Carriage
Return to terminate each checklist
item. If a checklist item is longer
than one line, you can make it more
readable by indenting subsequent
lines three to five spaces each, by
using the Sp key. Activate Carriage
Return only after a checklist item is
complete, as using it causes the GC
360A to initiate a new line item with
the next keystroke.
If you discover you’ve left some-
thing out while writing a checklist,
use the GC 360A’s cursor position
keys to insert a new line. The pro-
cedure is the same as for writing a
new checklist name on the Index
page: move the cursor to the line
item you want to appear directly
before the new one and key in the
new checklist information. To cor-
rect typographical errors or to erase
checklist information, refer to
Deleting
Text.
5. When you’ve finished program-
ming the new checklist, or to return
to the Index at any time, press the
Index key on the GC 360A or press
the Control key and then the “I” key
on the KA 68/KA 68A (see Special
Functions). The Index page will
appear with the cursor highlight on
the new checklist name.
6. Press the check-off key to return
to the first page of the checklist if
you want to review it. To continue
programming new checklists, return
to the Index page and enter a new
checklist name or position the cur-
sor on an already existing name
and press the check-off key to gain
access to that checklist.
DELETING TEXT
The Delete function (Del) shares
the same key on the KA 68/KA 68A
as the numeral five. To delete:
1. a single character - press the
Shift key and then the Del key, prior
to activating Carriage Return. You
cannot delete a single character
within a checklist line after activat-
ing the carriage return. The line item
must be deleted and reentered.
2. a checklist line item - move the
cursor to highlight the appropriate
line item (or press CR if current
checklist line is to be deleted), then
press Shift and Del.
3. an entire checklist - with the cur-
sor highlight on the appropriate
checklist name on the Index page,
press Shift and Del.
To correct checklist errors or to add
new information, use the cursor
position controls in combination
with the Deleting Text functions and
the standard checklist writing proce-
dures. A new line item always
begins immediately following the
line item highlighted by the cursor.
