Field editing in QUICK

[Blair Combs]

Sherry,

As Dave indicated, running with "READ=CHAR" alleviates the
need to press <enter> after the <CTRL>-B. It also improves
the editing process. The up-arrow should also work in place
of <CTRL>-B. The <home> key will send you to the beginning
of the field. The <end> field will send you to the end of
the field. The <CTRL>-left arrow and <CTRL>-right arrow can
also be used to move one word at a time. The <del> and <ins>
keys can be used as well, of course, once the text is
displayed. Note: the <CTRL>-B is required if you are editing
a very long, multi-line, word wrap type field.

Good luck,

Blair Combs
