Nortel Networks 3395A manual Key Sequence Function, Delete

The User Interface

Users at Nonprivileged and Privileged ports can change the defaults for the editing characters with the SET PORT command, so the characters on your port may not have the same functions as the ones shown in Table 2-1. At most terminals, you can use the SHOWLIST PORTS ALTERNATE CHARACTERISTICS command to check the control character sequences for the editing functions at your port.

	Table 2-1. Editing characters

<CTRL> <A>	Alternates between insert character mode and overstrike character.
	Overstrike mode is the default. This function does not apply to
	hardcopy terminals.
<CTRL> <B>	Recalls the previous command.

	you have deleted characters on a hardcopy terminal.
<CTRL> <U>	Deletes all characters from the cursor position to the beginning of the
	command line.
<CTRL> <V>	Quotes the next character, so that the terminal server interprets it as a
	variable. (This function is useful if you want to redefine control
	characters.)
<CTRL> <X>	Deletes the current command line.
<CTRL> <Z>	Cancels an interactive operation, such as changing a password, or
	deletes the current command line.
<DELETE>	Deletes the character to the left of the cursor. On hardcopy terminals,
or <backspace>	the terminal server adds a backslash (\) to previously printed characters
	to indicate that you have deleted them.
