When at the monitor mode prompt, the user may view the contents of the buffer using the commands TOP, BOTTOM, NEXT, PREVIOUS, FORWARD, and REVERSE, or by selecting the commands DISPLAY NEXT PAGE, DISPLAY PREVIOUS PAGE, GOTO BEGINNING OF BUFFER, GOTO END OF BUFFER, FORWARD N LINES, and REVERSE N LINES from the pull down menu. The monitor mode prompt will appear at the bottom of the displayed buffer data, and the user may enter commands normally at this prompt. The prompt is prefixed with the position of the currently displayed screen in the buffer; the top of the buffer is indicated by TOP>, the bottom of the buffer is indicated as BOTTOM>, and any other position is indicated as a percentage of the total buffer (e.g., 51%>).
