DEFINE_KEY Function: INSERT_MODE
Enables insert mode. Use insert mode to edit what you entered. If
the status display is enabled, the word Insert appears.
In insert mode, when you enter a character into an unprotected
field, it is displayed to the left of the cursor, moving the
following display elements one position to the right:
o The cursor
o The character at the cursor location
o All the characters to the right of the cursor in the field
You can insert characters into following:
o An unformatted screen
o An unprotected field on a formatted screen until it is full
If you attempt to insert characters after the field is full,
the keyboard locks, the terminal bell rings, and the word Inhib
appears on the status line. If the keyboard locks when you try
to insert characters into a field that looks empty, the field
might have trailing spaces. To delete these spaces, use the ER
EOF function.
To return your screen to the normal mode of entry, use one of the
following keyboard functions:
