If the cursor is moved right or down into a protected field, the 6530 
forward tabs, placing the cursor in the first position of the next 
unprotected field.
If the cursor is moved up into a protected field, the 6530 back tabs, 
placing the cursor in the first position of the previous unprotected 
field. 
If the cursor is moved left into a protected field, the 6530 first back 
tabs the cursor to the previous unprotected field and then moves it to 
the last column of that field. 
The search for an unprotected field wraps around the page if necessary. If 
no unprotected fields exist on the page, the cursor is not displayed. 
Cursor Up (Esc A) 
The Esc A sequence moves the cursor up to the previous row, while 
maintaining the same column position. If the cursor is initially in row 1, 
the cursor wraps to the last row of the page. 
In protect submode, if the new cursor position is protected, a back tab 
operation occurs. 
Line Feed (LF)
The LF control character (0AH) moves the cursor down one row, while 
maintaining the same column position. If the cursor is initially in the last 
row, the cursor wraps to the top row of the page.
In protect submode, if the new cursor position is protected, a forward tab 
operation occurs.
Cursor Right (Esc C)
The Esc C sequence moves the cursor one column position to the right. If 
the cursor is initially in the last column, the cursor moves to the first 
column of the next row. If the cursor is initially in the last column of the 
last row, the cursor wraps to the first column of the first row. 
In protect submode, if the new cursor position is protected, a forward tab 
operation occurs.
