Cursor Control in Control System Flowcharts and Input Fields

All entries in COM 265 screen forms are cursor-supported. The cursor can be moved only to
specific positions within each screen form.
Cursor control in and between input fields
• The cursor is used to 'mark' the current input field. When positioned to a new input field, it
'jumps' directly to that field.
• The cursor moves character by character within an input field.
• There are two methods of cursor-supported text entry in input fields
- The text is entered character by character on the programmer keyboard
- The text is selected from a window (if available) belonging to the input field. The current
window is opened with <F1> "Select".
