EDIT KEY FUNCTIONS
Keys
NSl.fPEQ.Inland cursor move keys (@) are mainly used
for editing a line or screen. Each function is determined by the soft¬
ware used, so read the relevant Software Guide for details.
Under MSX-BASIC, the edit keys function as follows:
[home] key
When this key is pressed, the cursor moves to the upper-left corner of
the display screen. The characters displayed on the screen remain.
When pressing this key together with the[T]key, the cursor moves to
the upper-left corner of the screen, while any character displayed on
the screen is erased.
[Ins] (insert) key
Once this key is pressed, the computer is set to the insert mode. In
this mode, the cursor becomes smaller and the character at the cursor
position and the followings are moved one space to the right when a
key is pressed, and you can insert as many characters as you want.
When pressing this key again or moving the cursor with cursor move
keys, the insert mode will be released.
[del! (delete) key
The character at the cursor position is deleted. All characters after the
deleted character are moved one space to the left.
(back space) key
When this key is pressed, the cursor moves one space to the left and
the character in that position is deleted.
Si (cursor move) keys
These keys are used to move the cursor one space in the direction of
the triangle: to the right, to the left, up or down. When the keys next to
each other are pressed at the same time, the cursor moves diagonally.
Any character which the cursor moves over does not change.
CONTROL KEY FUNCTIONS

When this key is pressed together with a character input key, the cor¬
responding symbol in the shift position (upper-left symbol on the key)

When this key is pressed, it will lock so that all letters are entered in
capitals. Numbers and symbols will be entered normally even if this

is locked, the indicator on the key lights up.

lower-left character or symbol printed on the graphic pattern sheet
