NOTE:When Horizontal and Vertical Wrap mode is in use, moving past the bottom, top, or left and write area of the screen will "wrap" the cursor around to opposite edge of the screen, as opposed to opening a new page. To set this mode, use the 5250 Terminal Setup feature.

CTRL+DELETE

If you are currently viewing an attribute plane, deletes the current value at the cursor position. If you are in the Data plane, deletes all values in all planes at the cursor position.

HOME

Toggles between the Line Command area (opens, and moves the cursor into the Line Command area) and the Text area. If the "Line Command Horizontal Persistence" and "Line Command Vertical Persistence" options are enabled (through the Terminal Setup utility), the cursor will wrap from the last character of the Line Command area to the first, and the bottom line to the top of the Line Command area.

NOTE:Insert/Overtype mode is independent of the Line Command and Text area of the screen.
