3276/78 Emulation Mode
When either Page key is pressed, the cursor retains its current column position. If you press
one Page key then the other, at the end of this sequence, the cursor is displayed at its initial
position (even though a different grouping of lines may appear on the screen).
Horizontal Movement Keys
IBM 3276. The CURSOR LEFT and CURSOR RIGHT keys move the cursor one character
position in the indicated direction each time you press the key. When the cursor reaches the
screen border, pressing the CURSOR LEFTkey wraps the cursor to the last character position
in the previous line, whereas pressing the CURSOR RIGHT key wraps the cursor to the first
character position of the next line.
The 3276 also provides ((double-speed" horizontal movement keys that are the Alternate Shift
counterparts of the CURSOR LEFT and CURSOR RIGHT keys. They behave similarly to
these keys except they move the cursor two character positions at a time.
HP 2625A. The _
and _
keys duplicate the operation of the CURSOR LEFT and
CURSOR RIGHT keys. If pressing a key accesses a row position that is beyond the viewing
. window, the terminal «rolls" the\ workspace to bring that line into view.
As these keys repeat at a relatively rapid pace if you continue to hold them down, the HP
2625A does not support the double-speed cursor positioning keys.
Backspace Key
IBM 3276. The BACKSPACE key duplicates the operation of the CURSOR LEFT key.
HP 2625A. The
a
key provides an identical implementation.
CURSOR DEFINITION KEYS
For its cursor, the 3276 displays either an underline (the normal form) or a rectangular box
(the alternate form). Either type of cursor can appear as blinking or non-blinking. Two keys
allow you to select these features.
Alternate Cursor (ALT CURSR) Key
IBM 3276. Alternate presses of the ALT CURSR key select either an underline or a rectan-
gular box for the cursor's form.
HP 2625A. You may select either
((Line"
or
((Box"
in the 3276/8 Configuration menu.
Cursor Blink (CURSR BLINK) Key
IBM 3276. Alternate presses of the CURSR BLINK key alter the cursor's appearance so it
either blinks or does not.
HP 2625A. You may select blinking or non-blinking in the 3276/8 Configuration menu.
