→Enter Key as Carriage Return Lever
The cursor is hollow when you first turn on WORDWRITER. When the cursor is hollow it stops when it gets to the end of the line. When the hollow cursor reaches the right edge of the screen it will stop in the same a typewriter stops when it comes to the end of a line. If you key in ENTER the hollow cursor drops a line and moves to left margin; in this case the ENTER key acts like a typewriter carriage return.
The up and down arrows are e and x, respectively. The four arrow keys are marked with arrows on the front sides of the keys, but you will grow so used to the logical diamond pattern that you will come to use them not just by touch but also unconsciously and automatically.
An arrow cannot go higher than the first line of a file. WORDWRITER creates extra lines at the bottom of a file as needed when you cursor down; the End of Document line is pushed down below the cursor.
====Typing Over Text====
If you wish to erase something you have typed all you have to do it position the cursor over the previously typed letters and retype something else on top of the old text. Dr, you can erase text by holding down the space bar; when you do so the cursor
moves right and leaves blank space when there previously was text. It also auto repeats. You can wipe out a line in a few seconds.
