Prompt mode edit commands

When in prompt mode, the user can utilize command recall and command edit capabilities. Command recall allows the re-display of previously entered SCHEDULE commands by using the up and down arrow keys. The previous command may be recalled and then edited if necessary to reduce the need for multiple entry of sometimes lengthy commands.

Edit commands are based on the UNIX emacs edit routines. Users familiar with these routines should find it easy to edit and navigate the command line. The following table lists the schedule command recall and edit commands. Key descriptions separated by a "+" sign indicate the consecutive entry of the two keys. For example [ESC]+[D] means press Escape and then press D. Key descriptions separated by "-" indicate the user press the keys simultaneously. For example [CTRL-P] means press Ctrl and P simultaneously.
