HOW TO DESIGN DATA ENTRY FORMS
Data entry forms can be designed from the keyboard using the cCdefine fields" set of function
keys and the line drawing character set. Also, the cCenhance video" function keys can be used
to highlight the fields of the form. Figure 5-2 illustrates an example of a data entry form.

It is also possible to design forms using escape sequences, either from the keyboard or from a
program.
Line Drawing Character Set
One of three character sets can be selected to be associated with the keyboard keys: the
default (base) set, which consists of Roman style letters; the math set, which consists of math
symbols; and the line drawing set, which consists of segments of lines, useful for drawing
forms. All three sets are accessible through the function keys. The keyboard keys used to
produce line segments are shown in figure 5-3.
