Moving around the display

You can move the cursor around the display with the cursor keys [A], [,I, [A] and [VI. In addition, you can hold any cursor key down for continuous rapid movement.

The following convenient keyboard shortcuts are also available in Edit mode:

Pndl [A 1	Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line.
Pndl [A 1	Moves the cursor to the first line of a field.
PM WI	Moves the cursor to the last line of a field.

The cursor appears as 1 in the overwrite mode. To switch back to the previous mode, press [INS] again.

If you make a mistake while entering text, use the following keys to erase the incorrect text, then enter the correct text:

PSI	Deletes the character before the cursor	I
