• At an editing point, use the delete key (ƒ) to trigger the insertion

cursor and proceed with the edition of the expression.

To see the clear editing cursor in action, let’s start with the algebraic
expression that we entered in the exercise above:

Press the down arrow key,

˜, at its current location to trigger the clear

editing cursor. The 3 in the exponent of

θ will be highlighted. Use the left

arrow key,

š, to move from element to element in the expression. The order

of selection of the clear editing cursor in this example is the following (press
the left arrow key,

š, repeatedly):

1. The 1 in the 1/3 exponent
2. θ
3.

∆y

4. µ
5. 2
6. x
7.

µ in the exponential function

8. λ
9. 3 in the

√3 term

10. the 2 in the 2/

√3 fraction

At any point we can change the clear editing cursor into the insertion cursor
by pressing the delete key (

ƒ). Let’s use these two cursors (the clear editing

cursor and the insertion cursor) to change the current expression into the
following:

If you followed the exercise immediately above, you should have the clear
editing cursor on the number 2 in the first factor in the expression. Follow
these keystrokes to edit the expression:
