   The map editing screen changes to full-screen mode: the delimiter characters are hidden.

4. In the bottom line, enter the line command ..F*.

5. Press ENTER

   The screen now looks as follows:

   ******************************************************************************* PERSONNEL INFORMATION ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

To center all fields contained in a line

1. In the first three positions of the text, enter the line command ..C as shown below:

   ******************************************************************************* ..CSONNEL INFORMATION ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

2. Press ENTER.

   The text is centered.

   *DATX and *TIMX are Natural system variables, which display the current date and time respectively. The opening parenthesis (() is the delimiter character for intensified (highlighted) output fields. The colon (:) is the delimiter character for intensified modifiable fields. The number of Xs indicates the length of the field.

2. Press ENTER.

   The screen now looks as follows:

   ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

Moving Fields

To move a single field or an entire line

1. In the editing area, enter the field command .M and move the cursor to the position indicated by [] as shown below. The [] sign is used to show the cursor position, you must not enter this sign.

   ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX .MEASE ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [] ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

2. Press ENTER.

   The text field in which the command was entered is moved to the cursor position:

   ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

3. Enter the line command ..M as shown below and move the cursor to the position indicated by [] as shown below:

   ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX ..M ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX []LEASE ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

4. Press ENTER.

   The line in which the command was entered is moved to the line after the one in which the cursor is positioned:

   ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

To join lines

1. Enter the line command ..J as shown below:

   ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ..JASE ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

2. Press ENTER.

   The line in which the command was entered and the line below it are joined:

   ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

To move a block of fields or a block of lines

1. Type in additional text in the same order and position as shown below:

   ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX THIS PORTION OF TEXT IS FOR FURTHER DEMONSTRATION OF THE MOVE COMMANDS ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

2. Press ENTER.

3. Enter the field command .M twice and move the cursor to the position indicated by [] as shown below:

   ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX .MIS PORTION OF TEXT IS FOR FURTHER DEMONSTRATION OF THE MOVE .MMMANDS [] ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

   The block of fields to be moved is delimited by the .M commands and the widths of the fields to which these commands apply. In this example, the block starts with the top left field THIS and ends at the last field COMMANDS. The widest field COMMANDS (which extends into two or three fields contained in the previous lines) determines which fields within the marked block are moved.

4. Press ENTER.

   The marked block of fields is moved to the cursor position with the top left field being placed at the cursor:

   ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX OF TEXT IS DEMONSTRATION THIS PORTION FOR FURTHER OF THE MOVE COMMANDS ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

5. Enter the field command .M twice as shown below and move the cursor to the position indicated by [] as shown below:

   ******************************************************************************* (XXXXXXXX PERSONNEL INFORMATION (XXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER NAME::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX PLEASE ENTER CITY::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX .M TEXT IS .MMONSTRATION THIS PORTION[] FOR FURTHER OF THE MOVE COMMANDS ******************************************************************************* 001 --010---+----+----+---030---+----+----+---050---+----+----+---070---+----

6. Press ENTER.
