Sending Commands (Return, Shift-Return)
Scrolling Vertically (Roll Up, Roll Down)
You can scroll text within a window one line at a time by pressing the Roll Down or Roll
Up function keys. Hold down the Shift key while pressing Roll Down or Up to scroll the
text in the window by one-third of the window height.
Scrolling Horizontally (SF12, SF13)
You can also scroll the text in a window horizontally (from side to side) to display text
that is wider than the window. To scroll the text in a window to the left (and display text
beyond the right edge of the window), move the cursor on the sill the amount you want
to scroll. (For example, if you want to display nine characters beyond the right edge,
move the cursor nine characters in from the left edge of the sill.) Then press SF13.
When scrolling text to the left, the column the cursor is in when you press SF13
becomes the new left edge of the window. To scroll text to the right, press SF12.
Sending Commands (Return, Shift-Return)
The Return key sends commands within the SeeView environment. Once you select a
terminal page and move the cursor to the window you want to interact with, use the
Return key to send commands to the SeeView program or to the task associated with
the current window. Type text on the sill of a window and press Return to send all of
the text up to the cursor to the task associated with that window (or directly to SeeView
if no task is associated with the window). When you press Return on a sill, only text up
to the cursor is sent, so make sure the cursor is at the end of any text you want sent.
You also use the Return key to make menu selections. Move the cursor to an item in a
menu and press Return to select that item and cause the SeeView program to execute
any commands associated with it.
If you are in a window assigned to a task but want to send a command to SeeView
rather than to the task, you can send a command by entering the command on the sill
S-Next Page Displays the last page of the text in the window.
SF12 Moves the text to the right by the number of characters indicated by
the current cursor position. For example, if the cursor is in column 1
of the current window, the text in that window is moved to the right by
one character (unless the text is already all the way to the right). If
the cursor is in column 20 of the current window, the text is moved to
the right by 20 characters.
SF13 Moves the text to the left by the number of characters indicated by
the current cursor position. For example, if the cursor is in column 1
of the current window, the text in that window is moved to the left by
one character (unless the text is already all the way to the left). If the
cursor is in column 20 of the current window, the text is moved to the
left by 20 characters. The location of the cursor defines the new left
edge of the text in the window when you press the function key.
