Using the Editing Keys

Most SYSOP commands display a series of prompts to allow entry of parameters specific to that command. Default or previously entered information is displayed and can be edited using the techniques described here.

If your terminal emulation program has an option to set Destructive Backspace or Non-Destructive Backspace, choose the latter.

The following editing keys can be used whenever a field is presented for modification.
