FORWARD    (default)

  Sets the direction of the buffer to forward---to the right and down.

  Key:   The EDT keypad defines KP4 as FORWARD.

  Usage notes:

  o  The direction affects searches and some cursor-movement commands, such
     as MOVE BY LINE and similar EDT or WPS keys.

  o  You can use a key defined as FORWARD as a terminator for FIND or
     WILDCARD FIND to make the search begin in that direction:

        1.  Let FIND or WILDCARD FIND prompt you for the search string.
        2.  Type the search string and then press a key defined as FORWARD.

     If you press RETURN instead, the search starts in the current direction
     of the buffer (shown in the status line). For more information, see
     help on Prompts And Responses.

  o  If your system has a mouse, you can toggle the direction of the buffer
     by clicking M1 on the Forward or Reverse indicator in the status line.
     This works on DECwindows, DECterm, or UIS. See help on Status Line.
