Modes of Operation
Line and Block Modes
RISE operates in Line or Block mode using the terminal's powerful capabilities to their fullest. Each mode
offers you its own unique advantages. Line mode is similar to EDIT/3000. You type in lines in response to
a ">" prompt. Typing errors can be corrected by backspacing, which erases the errors and allows you to
retype the line as it should appear. When you press the carriage return you send the line to RISE for
execution.
Block Mode resembles VPLUS. You enter anything you wish on the screen in unprotected data fields. You
may correct typing errors or alter the information displayed as needed. You position the cursor, using the
cursor control keys and editing keys to make your changes directly on the screen. Afterwards, you press
the ENTER key to send all the data on the screen to RISE for processing.
