Figure 4-4. Character Insert With Wraparound
Block terminators, at or to the right of the cursor position, move to the right along with the
displayable characters. Non-displaying terminators to the right of the cursor position also
move to the right along with the displayable character. A non-displaying terminator at the
cursor position, hovever, remains at that position.
When Format mode is on and the cursor is positioned in an unprotected or transmit-only
field, this function is performed without wraparound and affects only those characters from
the cursor position through the end of the current field. Block terminators and non-
displaying terminators are treated the same as when Format mode is off. If the cursor is not
within an unprotected or transmit-only field, it automatically moves to the first character
position of the next subsequent unprotected field when the first chracter is inserted.
From the keyboard, you may enable and disable the insert character with wraparound
editing functions by using the _
and
III
keys. When enabled the characters ((Ins Wrap"
appear in the terminal's status line.
From a program executing in a host computer you enable and disable the insert character
with wraparound editing function using the following escape sequence:
ENABLE:
Ec N
DISABLE:
Ec R
