Display area.

Can show memory, data values, analyzer traces, registers, breakpoints,
status, simulated I/O, global symbols, local symbols, pod commands (the
emulator’s underlying Terminal Interface), error log, or display log. You can
use the UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, PAGE UP, and PAGE DOWN cursor
keys to scroll or page up or down the information in the active window.

Status line.

Displays the emulator and analyzer status. Also, when error and status
messages occur, they are displayed on the status line in addition to being
saved in the error log.

Command line.

Commands are entered on the command line by pressing softkeys (or by
typing them in) and executed by pressing the Return key. The Tab and
Shift-Tab keys allow you to move the cursor on the command line forward or
backward. The Clear line key (or CTRL-e) clears from the cursor position to
the end of the line. The CTRL-u key clears the whole command line.
