The contents of the screen can be displayed in reverse, i.e. as a right-
to-left mirror image, by pressing the keys
Shift + Backspace . This is
a toggle function, so pressing the keys again will revert to normal
left-to-right display. An arrow will be displayed on the status line
(next to the row/column number) to indicate normal (right arrow) or
mirror (left arrow) display.
Typing Direction
The direction in which characters are displayed on the screen when
typed can be toggled between normal left-to-right and right-to-left
by pressing the keys

played the correct way round when typing right-to-left.
Close Key
If text has been typed using both typing direction modes in the same
line or field, you can force the right-hand text to join the left-hand
text by pressing the keys
Shift + * on the keypad.
Push Mode
Push mode allows you to edit text whose direction is opposite the
screen orientation. In this mode the cursor orientation is reversed
and a Push segment is created. Push mode is toggled on/off by press-
ing the keys
Ctrl + Shift + - (keypad minus).
Push mode has two secondary modes, Boundary mode and Edit
mode.
