Epson HX-20 User Manual

already  displaying the rightmost portion of the virtual screen.

Now, press the 

 

key and the screen will look like this:

The cursor is now in the rightmost location of the virtual screen.

Now, press the 

 

key. The screen display changes dramatically:

What happened? An “E” appeared in the virtual screen at the

cursor location, and then the cursor advanced to the next location in
the virtual screen. Since the cursor was already at the end of one line

in the virtual screen, it advanced to the beginning of the next line.

The LCD window then moved  automatically,  to keep the cursor

in view. This changed all the visible text, because the LCD screen

was suddenly displaying a completely different portion of the

virtual screen.

When you finish typing “NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD

MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR PARTY.” the screen

will look like this:

The text you typed occupies all of the first line and most of the

second line of the virtual screen. Your cursor moved automatically
to the second line of the virtual screen while you were typing, even
though you never pressed the 

 key.

The HX-20 moves the cursor to a new line whenever necessary.

You may type one sentence that ends up occupying several lines of
the virtual screen-without ever pressing 

 When this

happens, we say that you have typed  onelogical  line, which happens

to occupy several  physical  lines.

To end one logical line and begin a new one, just press

the 

 key.
