ENDSEQ
The keys "<" or ">" open the text editor. With "<" an existing
character string is deleted and the text cursor is set to the left
margin of the edit line. With ">" an existing character string re-
mains and the text cursor is set on the last character of the exist-
ing text.
A character chain is displayed that is composed of all the char-
acters in alphabetical order that can be entered. The blinking
character is the currently selected one (text cursor).
Character selection
The keys "<" and ">" move the character chain composed of all
possible characters (capital and small letters, numbers and special
characters, in alphabetical order) in the desired direction under-
neath the text cursor. Pressing these keys once has the effect that
the character chain is shifted one position left or right. The char-
acter chain can be shifted quickly by pressing the keys longer.
ENTER
Confirmation of the character selection
The <ENTER> key causes the character that is currently posi-
tioned at the text cursor to be appended to the existing text.
When the entire width of the edit line is filled, text edit mode is left
and the text is accepted with <ENTER>.
RESET
CLEAR
Delete character
The <CLEAR> key deletes the last character of the existing text
line. The text cursor automatically shifts one character to the left.
QUIT
Exit text entry
With <QUIT> the text edit mode is exited. The text line displayed
can be accepted with <ENTER> or rejected by pressing <QUIT>
a second time.
