The upper portion of this display shows the configuration data with the cursor positioned on the currently selected parameter. The lower portion shows descriptive text for the selected parameter. A message may also appear if the parameter value fails to meet validation rules.

To move through the parameters, use any of the following keys:

Ctrl-N	Cursor down	Move down to next line
Ctrl-P Ctrl-Z	Cursor up	Move up to previous line
	Page down	Move down one page
	Page up	Move up one page

The amend a line, simply type new data or use any of the standard editing keys:

Ctrl-A	Home	Position the cursor at the start of the input data
Ctrl-B	Cursor left	Move the cursor left one character
Ctrl-D	Delete	Delete character under cursor
Ctrl-E	End	Position the cursor at the end of the input data
Ctrl-F	Cursor right	Move the cursor right one character
