Deleting and Inserting Characters
This section describes everything you need to know about deleting and editing characters
you have already input.
Moving the Cursor
The following points describe how to move the cursor around the display to position it for
deleting and editing characters.
To move the cursor
• Press H to move the cursor to the left, and J to move the cursor to the right.
• Press FUNC and then H to make the cursor jump to the beginning (far left) of the
characters on the display.
• Press FUNC and then J to make the cursor jump to the end (far right) of the characters
on the display.
• Press SHIFT and then H to make the cursor jump to the next newline mark (see “To
input alpha-numeric characters”) or block mark (page 37) to the left.
• Press SHIFT and then J to make the cursor jump to the next newline mark or block
mark to the right.
• Holding down the cursor keys moves the cursor left or right at high speed.
Deleting Individual Characters
You can delete individual characters with either the BS key or the DEL key. The only differ-
ence between the operation of these two keys is the location of the cursor.
To delete characters using the
BS
key
Example: To change the word “commmputer” to “computer”.
1. Use H and J to move the cursor under “p”.
2. Press BS twice to delete the two m’s to the left of the cursor, shifting “puter” to the left as
you do.
• Press FUNC and then J to jump back to the end of the characters for more input.
