摘要

A cursor indicates the current text entry position. Control keys on the keyboard allow the cursor to be moved horizontally and vertically. The display panel has a line that is divided into two sectors (33,35) separated by a reference mark (37). One sector (33) displays information and the other (35) displays status data. Arrows (39,41) indicate text entry directions. USE/ADVANTAGE - For indicating whether further text exists in either field of line. Reduced user workload.
