PEN*KEY 6500 Windowing Mode
If you try to move the cursor off the display in any direction,
the window shifts one or eight lines or columns in the direc-
tion of the cursor movement. This lets you move the view-
ing window around within the larger VT220’s screen. The
display does not wrap around when the window reaches the
top or side boundaries of the virtual VT220 screen. A beep
error tone sounds when you try to move the window beyond
the top, bottom, left, or right boundary.
The following chart shows how to use the arrow keys in
combination with [Blue] and [Gold] to move through the
PEN*KEY computer’s display.
