Control Sequences for
Terminal Interface
Functions
The terminal interface provides the keyboard control sequences listed in
Table 3-3. These can be thought of as keyboard short-cuts for compatible
terminals (those which provide menu capability). Only those functions in
the table marked with * (asterisk) operate for “ UNKNOWN” terminal
types (those which do not support menus). An “ UNKNOWN” terminal
type has very limited editing capability. It will not support the EDIT mode
for the optional IBASIC interpreter. In the following table, † = IBASIC
only.
