Special Functions
Input of Control
of the Keyboard
Characters With the
Under M S - D O S
CTRL Key
As you learned in the
explanation of the keyboard,
certain keys are reserved as
function and control keys. Their
meanings change according to
the program being run on the
PEOPLE
Personal
Microcomputer. Following is a
brief explanation of the functions
those keys perform when you
are working with MS-DOS.
[RETURN] Key
After depressing the [RETURN]
key, the prompt appears on the
screen as a response. The
[RETURN] key inputs
commands to the computer as
you’ve seen in the previous
exercises. There are, however,
some exceptions whereby an
input is not terminated with the
[RETURN] key: for example,
when sending control
characters (simultaneously
depessing the CTRL key with
another key).
Holding down the CONTROL
(CTRL) key assigns a special
function to the other key you
press, the CTRL key must be
held down while you enter a
control character. Holding down
both keys is represented in this
description in abbreviated form
as “ CTRL-C” , whereby the
control character could be any
key.
CTRL-C
Aborts current command.
CTRL-H
Removes last character from
command line and deletes
character from screen.
CTRL-J
Inserts physical end of line, but
does not delete the command
line.
CTRL-P
All data entered on screen from
keyboard is simultaneously sent
to terminal for output to line
printer.
CTRL-N
Turns off (CTRL P) output data
to line printer.
CTRL-S
Stops the listing of information
on the display until
CTRL-S
is
reinput.
CTRL-X
Cancels the current line and
displays a back slash ( \ ) on
the screen. Moves the cursor to
the next line.
