THE CURSOR CONTROL KEYS
In the normal mode, i.e. without combining other keys, in combina-
tion with the appropriate software the block of keys marked with ar-
rows on the right side of the keyboard (43.C) are used to direct the
cursor on the screen as follows:
- Cursor one character to the right
- Cursor one character to the left
t
Cursor one character upwards
+
Cursor one character downwards
THE EDIT/SHIFT KEY
This is a toggle key, i.e. when pressed , it remains down until press-
ed a second time, when it returns to its normal position ; you can
easily see, therefore, if the key has been activated , simply by look-
