Purpose
Moves the cursor down one or more lines.
Default Syntax
[n] +
or
[n] Return
where n is a count that represents the number of lines the cursor is to
move down. The default value of n is 1.
Description
This command moves the cursor one or more lines below its current
position. If the desired line contains text, the cursor moves to the
first non-blank character. If the desired line contains no text, the
cursor moves to the first column of the line.
You can also use this command to scroll forward in a file. If the cursor
is located at the bottom line of the current window, the command scrolls
the text up one line, which is equivalent to moving toward the bottom of
the file. Subsequent executions of the command with the default count
value continue to scroll the text up one line at a time. rsub>Procedures
To move the cursor one line below the current line:
1. Press the + key or Return.
To move the cursor more than one line below the current line, either:
1. Type a count representing the number of lines you want the cursor
to move and press Return.
2. Press the + key or Return. HP EDIT moves the cursor the specified
number of lines and resets the count to 1.
or
1. Press the + key or Return repeatedly until the cursor is
positioned at the desired location.
