Correct Typing Errors
Before you can correct a typing error, such as the misspelling shown in
Figure 2-12, you must position the cursor at the field to be corrected.
If the cursor is above the field, where "above" means closer to the top
of the terminal screen than the field to be corrected, then you simply
press TAB until the cursor is at the desired field. If the cursor is
below the field, where "below" means closer to the bottom of the terminal
screen, then you must move the cursor towards the top of the screen.
Since the direction is the reverse of that provided by TAB, it is called
backtab. How you backtab is determined by the type of terminal that you
are using:
* On HP 264X terminals, you backtab, which is to move from the current
field to the one above, by pressing CONTROL and TAB simultaneously.
* On HP 262X and HP 239X terminals, and on HP personal computers, you
press SHIFT and TAB simultaneously to backtab.
Another method is to press TAB repeatedly until the cursor reaches the
desired field.
Once you position the cursor at the field to be corrected, you simply
type over the data in the field with the correct data.
