BACKTAB also moves text to the right when the cursor passes the first
column currently displayed on the screen (and there are more tabs set
further to the left).
If you are frequently using RIGHTSCROLL and LEFTSCROLL to enter
or edit text to the right or left of the window you are viewing, use
BACKTAB, TAB, and NEWLINE to move text into the window. You
can reset tab stops with RECONFIGURE OPTIONS.
If you use both a repeat count and a number, the number of columns
TEDIT moves is the number multiplied by the repeat count. In the
following example, TEDIT moves text eight columns to the right
(2 times 4).
Command: 2 RIGHTSCROLL 4
The status line shows the numbers of the columns displayed in the
window (for example, 1:79).
Use LEFTSCROLL to reverse RIGHTSCROLL.
The columns that RIGHTSCROLL displays do not have to contain any
characters.
RIGHTSCROLL operates only in the window containing the cursor.
