USING SKYLITE CHAPTER 2
This is useful when you have a low-resolution monitor and you are trying to view terminal
screens that are effectively larger than your monitor size or the size of the SkyLite
application window. For example, if you are looking at a 132-column report displayed on
screen, you can increase the font size to improve readability and view the whole report by
panning down and across the terminal screen.
Note: Each backpage uses about 10k of memory and too many may cause SkyLite to run
slowly.
Editing styles
To input or amend textual data in edit boxes or windows, SkyLite provides a set of local
editing functions. You can control these functions using some of the keys shown below.
SkyLite supports three local editing styles:
• Windows compatible (for example, Alt+V to paste from the Clipboard)
• WordPerfect compatible
• WordStar compatible
To select one of these styles, use the Editing... option from the Configure menu, as
described above.
Below is a common subset of local editing keys, for general text processing.
