Chapter 3

Operating in the Display Window

This chapter describes the commands offered in the display window of the programmer's display.

The first part of this chapter explains how the command menus and function keys work; it also has a short section on entering information at the cursor prompt. These sections are the same as the initial sections in Chapter 2; if you have already read these sections in Chapter 2, there is no need to read them in this chapter.

The remainder of this chapter describes the operation of the display window and explains each display command, walking you through the interactive dis- play prompts where applicable.
