Unshifted alphabetic keys (a-z) generate the codes for
their uppercase equivalents, the {,

Start Col
Under a very specific set of circumstances, when you enter
data through the keyboard the terminal remembers, for each
line, which character was the leftmost one that you entered.
This is accomplished through the use of a logical start-of-text
pointer that is maintained with the line in display memory.
