When I worked for an IBM facility for a while, I was quite amused by the "screen editor" I used. I won't comment here on the whole command/input mode difference. I will say that when you moved the cursor to a particular column and hit ANY key (other than the one moving the cursor out of the column) there was no recourse but cycling power on terminal. Now THAT is good, user friendly programming! The lightning bolt and little man icons were neat, too! mjb. mjb@hoosier.utah.edu

The little key labeled RESET under the shift key will make the X and the little man go away. -Ron

Every protocol converter I've dealt with had keyed equivalents.
