Cursor Movement State

Upon entering PAGE edit mode, the current status of the editor is cursor movement. The cursor is placed in the first position of the current pointed data line. Cursor movement is accomplished with any of the numeric keys (both numeric pad and normal number keys above the alpha keys), with the arrow keys (up, down, left and right) and with particular alphabetic commands. The numeric keys work as defined below:

x 8 x

. . .

4 . . + . . 6

. . .

x 2 x

The keys numbered 2, 4, 6 and 8 move the cursor (indicating current position for modification commands) in the direction indicated. Each depression of the key moves the cursor one position. In addition, the following alphabetic characters cause the cursor to be moved as indicated:

B/b

Move the cursor to the bottom data line (line n-1), remaining in the current column number.

Decrement the current column number by one. Wrap does not occur if in column one.
