are not displayed in reverse video.) The methods that can be used to enter
information in string entry parameters are described in this section.
In string entry parameters, the <UP> arrow, <DOWN> arrow, <ENTER> and
<BKSP> keys have the following functions:
• The <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys move the cursor between entry fields
in the direction of the arrow.
• <ENTER> completes the entry field.
• <BKSP> deletes the character to the left of the cursor.
• <DEL> (key combination <BLUE> <BKSP>) clears the entire field.
Choosing An ASCII Character With The Arrow Keys
Important: Make sure the <CTRL> and <SHIFT> keys are turned off!
By pressing either the <RIGHT> or <LEFT> arrow key, you can cycle through
a set of printable characters not directly accessible from the keyboard.
• Press the <RIGHT> arrow to display the next character in this sequence,
and the <LEFT> arrow to display the previous one.
Adding Additional ASCII Characters
When you’ve chosen an ASCII character and want to add another one in the same
field, the cursor must be moved to the right of the existing character. Normally,
pressing the <RIGHT> arrow key moves the cursor to the right, but in a string entry
field, pressing the <RIGHT> arrow key cycles through the available ASCII
characters instead. If you’ve already chosen an ASCII character and want to
add another one in the field, you need to take a few extra steps to move the cursor
to the right.
To add another ASCII character in the string entry field, next to the one you’ve
already chosen:
• Type a numeric character – for example, type the number 7.
• Next, press the <BKSP> key.
