3.3 Console Line Editing
You can correct simple typing errors with the BACKSPACE key. CP/M 3 also
supports additional line-editing functions for banked and nonbanked systems that
you perform with control characters. You can use the control characters to edit
command lines or input lines to most programs.
3.3.1 Line Editing in Nonbanked CP/M 3
Nonbanked CP/M 3 allows you to edit your command line using the set of characters
listed'in Table 3-1. To edit a command line in nonbanked CP/M 3, use control
characters to delete characters left of the cursor, then replace them with new characters.
In the following example command line, the command keyword PIP is mistyped.
The underbar represents the cursor.
A>POP A:=B:*.*-
To move the cursor to the letter 0, hold down the CTRL key and press the letter H
eleven times. CTRL-H deletes characters as it moves the cursor left, leaving the
following command line:
A>P_
Now, type the correct letters, press RETURN, and send the command to CP/M 3.
A>PIP A:=B:*.*_
