→Reviewing Data with the Arrow Keys
The data that you receive often takes up more than one page in your Home Computer's available memory. (A page is the amount of data on one display.) Also, the lines of data may extend beyond the screen boundaries. You can view this stored data in several ways by means of the· '''CTRL 7''' (PAGE) function and the arrow keys on your console keyboard.
To scroll text upward or downward a line at a time, press '''FCTN ''' [[File:Up-Arrow.png|35px25px]] or '''FCTN ''' [[File:Down-Arrow.png|35px25px]]. To scroll the text up or down one page at a time, hold down the '''CTRL''' key and press '''7''' (PAGE). Then press '''FCTN ''' [[File:Up-Arrow.png|35px25px]] or '''FCTN ''' as [[File:Down-Arrow.png|35px25px]], as desired. FCTNG and FCTN Gmove the text to the left or right a column (onecharacter) at a time, for viewing data which extends beyond the screenboundary. To shift text to the left or right a page at a time (i.e., by thecolumn width you selected), press CTRL 7 (PAGE) and then press FCTNG or FCTN G, as appropriate. Note that CTRL 7 (PAGE) only workswith FCTN G and B when the WRAP feature is OFF.If you press any arrow key which would shift or scroll the displaybeyond the boundary of the text, the computer gives a warning beepand the display does not change.Note: Occasionally you may want to receive several pages of data andthen sign off from data base before reviewing the data with the arrowkeys. If you accidentally press a key other than PAGE or an arrow keyas you review the data, your computer system may appear to "lockup." To correct the problem, switch your TI Telephone Coupler(Modem) from FULL duplex ("F") to TEST ("TST") and then back toFULL duplex. Then you can continue your review.
