6.1 Conversational Programming

Deleting a program block:

There are two ways to delete program blocks from a Program Listing. The following provide the steps necessary to delete a block, or blocks.

In Edit Mode, place the cursor at the beginning of the first block to be deleted. Touch the Delete Block button to delete one block at a time.

The Cut button can also be used.

Touch the Edit Features button to access the next menu.

Touch the Cut button to remove the block, or blocks selected and place them on the clipboard.

If removing more than one block at a time is desired, first use one of the Mark methods described in “Mark a program block”. Highlight multiple blocks, then press the Cut button to remove them.

Inserting a program block:

Inserting a program block (or blocks) in an existing program is typically done by adding a feature at the correct location in the program.

Place the cursor where a new block is to be inserted.

Add the feature that is required at that location. See "Conversational Data Input Cycles" on page 103 which provides a list of features available.
