Tips. When INSERT CHARACTER inserts a space, text to the right of the
character moves one space to the right. If the insertion of a space causes the
text in the line to exceed the align width, then TEDIT uses auto word wrap
(if ON) to move words to the next line.
Your terminal might have a key labelled CHAR INS. This key inserts a
space and moves the text on the screen to the right by one character. The
CHAR INS key can lose characters off the end of the screen. If there is text
beyond the right edge of the screen that you cannot see, TEDIT does not
shift the text. To shift all the text in a line, use the INSERT CHARACTER
command.

INSCHAR.
INSERT EOL
INSERT EOL either breaks a line or adds a blank line below the line
containing the cursor.
How to Use. To break a line in two, place the cursor at the position in the line
you want the line to break. Then enter INSERT EOL.
To add a new line below the line containing the cursor, place the cursor
beyond the last character in the line. Then enter INSERT EOL.
What Happens. If the cursor is within a line, INSERT EOL moves the
character at the cursor position and all text to the right to a new line below.
The cursor remains in its original position.
If the cursor is beyond the end of the line, INSERT EOL creates a blank line
below this line. The cursor remains in its original position.
Tips. EOL is an acronym for END-OF-LINE. You can use EOL anywhere
you use END-OF-LINE.
