Edit Form Help Functions

Edit forms allow you to actively access help screens. To access the help screen, press MODE at any edit form. The SID places the help screen on the LCD display. The SID retains any information you may have entered on the edit form and places the edit form with your information back on the display when you exit the help screen. You do not lose any information. Most help screens appear as shown in Figure 2-7.,although certain edit forms add or delete options.

	enter new characters over existing characters.
Insert	The option changes the editor into a mode that allows you to
	insert new characters between existing characters.
Clear	The option erases all characters in the field.
Undo	The option replaces any new information typed in the field with

Action Forms

Action forms operate in a dynamic or real-time mode. The screen changes with each transaction processed by the SID. When you finish observing an action

form, you can press FUNC to return to the main menu. You also can MODE to access any available help options for the action form. Although not all action forms have help options, by pressing MODE you usually can find optional ways to look at the information presented on the action form.
