The Editor

Selecting one of the configuration files listed in the previous section opens that file in the editor. Once inside the editor, you may use arrow keys to move the cursor around. If the arrow keys do not work with your terminal emulator, use Ctrl-Pfor up [previous], Ctrl-Nfor down [next], Ctrl-Bfor left [back], and Ctrl-Ffor right [forward] for cursor motion.

For faster motion, you can use Ctrl-Ato jump to the beginning of the line, and Ctrl-Eto jump to the end.

To make changes in the Editor, move the cursor to the point you want to change and enter the change. To delete text behind the cursor, move the cursor to the position immediately following the character to remove and press the Backspace key, Delete key, or type Ctrl- H. To delete text in front of the cursor, press Ctrl-D. To delete text from the cursor to the end of the line, press Ctrl-K.

After editing is completed, please save these changes by pressing Ctrl-W. After the changes are saved the Edit Configuration menu returns to the screen. Although changes will be saved, they will not take effect until you power the Ethernet Adapter off and back on. If you decide that you don’t want to save the changes you have made, press Ctrl-X. You are prompted for confirmation, then returned to the Edit Configuration menu.

If while typing the screen display becomes corrupted or confused press Ctrl-Lto force a screen redraw. Corruptions or confusions may occur due to many terminal emulation software packages not emulating VT100 correctly.
