Operating the Split Screen Feature

Step Active Session

Press and hold the Alt key while you press the ChgSc key to change the active session to make the next highest session the active session. Do not change the active session using any other keystroke sequence. The session that is not selected is not affected.

For example, suppose three sessions are available. If Session 2 is the active session (the cursor is in Session 2) and is on the top and Session 1 is on the bottom, press Alt-Change Screen to increment the top to Session 3. Session 3 displays on the top and has the cursor. Session 1 is still on the bottom (see Figure 8-3, below). If you press the Select Bottom key, Session 3 is still displayed on the top and Session 1 is still displayed on the bottom, but now Session 1 has the cursor.

Session 2	Session 3
(active)	(active)
Session 1	Session 1
(inactive)	(inactive)

Swap Session

Press and hold the Alt key while you press the Swap key to switch sessions without moving the cursor. For example, in split mode, if the top session is the active session (and has the cursor), press the Alt-Swap key combination to move the top session to the bottom and the bottom session to the top. The session on the top is still the active session and has the cursor (see Figure 8-4, below).

Session 1	Session 2
(active)	(active)
Session 2	Session 1
(inactive)	(inactive)
