Persistent insert key Select this option to keep the following keystrokes from disabling Insert mode: TAB, ENTER, UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, RIGHT ARROW, LEFT ARROW, WORD LEFT, WORD RIGHT, END OF LINE, BACKSPACE, BACK TAB, TRANSMIT, and DELETE. When this option is selected, only the Insert key will disable Insert mode.
Special scroll mode Select this option to display any data received from the host on the subsequent page when the current page is filled. If you clear this option, the data appears on the current page only. When the current page is filled, the cursor moves home on the same page, and the data received from the host overwrites the data currently on the screen.

Display return key symbol Display a carriage return symbol when you press ENTER. (This does not affect CRs sent by the host.)

Note: This option is primarily used with LINC applications. If you enable this feature, be sure to manually add delimiters at the end and beginning of each line.
