Back Line
Purpose
Moves the cursor up one or more lines.
Default Syntax
[n] -
where n is a count representing the number of lines the cursor is to move
up. The default value of n is 1.
Description
This command moves the cursor one or more lines above its current
position. If the destination line contains text, the cursor moves to the
first non-blank character. If the destination line is blank, the cursor
moves to the first column of the line.
You can also use this command to scroll backward in a file. If the
cursor is located at the top line of the text window, the command scrolls
the text down one line, which is equivalent to moving toward the top of
the file. Subsequent executions of the command with the default value
continue to scroll the file down one line at a time.
Procedures
To move the cursor one line above the current line:
1. Press the - key.
To move the cursor more than one line, either:
1. Type a count representing the number of lines you want the cursor
to move.
2. Press the - key. HP EDIT moves the cursor the specified number of
lines.
or
1. Press the - key repeatedly until the cursor is positioned at the
desired location.
