- Using the above keystrokes
- @X03
- All systems should be able to use the Control Key method of performing
- the above functions (press and hold the CTRL key while typing the
- letter key that follows it in the above table).
-
- The more familiar PC Keyboard keys, such as the arrow keys, will work
- while on locally. They will also work if your communications program
- is capable of either sending the actual keystroke (keyboard scan code)
- or an ANSI escape code equivalent through to the host system.
-
- An example would be calling in from remote using Telix to connect to
- PCBoard and utilitizing either the 'Doorway Mode' so that keystrokes
- are passed directly on to PCBoard.
-
- The ANSI escape codes are an alternate means of telling PCBoard to move
- the cursor around on the screen. Some comm programs have a "Keyboard
- Emulation" feature makes use of these ANSI codes without the need for
- Doorway Mode. Other comm packages may be able to program the ANSI
- escape codes into function keys.
- @X0F
- Insert Mode
- @X03
- While in 'Insert Mode' it should be noted that characters to the right
- of the cursor will be pushed one character to the right as each letter
- is typed.
-
- Additionally, pressing the (Enter) key while in Insert Mode will cause
- a new line to be inserted.
- @X0F
- NON-PC KEYBOARD USERS PLEASE NOTE!
- @X03
- Some modems and packet switch environments will filter out CTRL-S
- keystrokes and interpret them to mean "stop sending data". In these
- environments pressing CTRL-S will not move the cursor as expected - in
- fact it will appear to do nothing. You will need to press CTRL-Q to
- get going again.
-
- You can work around this by using CTRL-A which means move left to
- previous WORD rather than moving a character to the left.
-
- Those of you who can send either an ESC[D or the PC scan code for the
- Left Arrow will not encounter this problem and will never have to worry
- about it.
