To scroll left or right

In some applications (for example, the General Service LOG DISPLAY), you can scroll to the left and right.

  1. On the COMMAND line, enter the number of columns that you want to scroll.

  2. Press F10/22 to scroll to the left, or F11/23 to scroll to the right.

    Scrolling to the left displays the origin or point of entry for each message on the Journal log.
