already displaying the rightmost portion of the virtual screen.
Now, press the key and the screen will look like this:
ALL GOOD MEN TO COM
The cursor is now in the rightmost location of the virtual screen.
Now, press the key. The screen display changes dramatically:
What happened? An “E” appeared in the virtual screen at the
cursor location, and then the cursor advanced to the next location in
the virtual screen. Since the cursor was already at the end of one line
in the virtual screen, it advanced to the beginning of the next line.
The LCD window then moved automatically, to keep the cursor
in view. This changed all the visible text, because the LCD screen
was suddenly displaying a completely different portion of the
virtual screen.
When you finish typing “NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD
MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR PARTY.” the screen
will look like this:
TIME FOR ALL GOOD M
D OF THEIR PARTY.
The text you typed occupies all of the first line and most of the
second line of the virtual screen. Your cursor moved automatically
to the second line of the virtual screen while you were typing, even
though you never pressed the
key.
The HX-20 moves the cursor to a new line whenever necessary.
You may type one sentence that ends up occupying several lines of
the virtual screen-without ever pressing
When this
happens, we say that you have typed onelogical line, which happens
to occupy several physical lines.
To end one logical line and begin a new one, just press
the key.
