--REMAINING KEYS ON TOP ROW: ------------------------------------------------

obtained by holding the 'CONVERT' button down while the key is pressed.
E.g. CONVERT and PRINT causes the screen to be refreshed.
_____________________________________________

The SCREEN LEFT button moves the cursor to the left of the SCREEN, but the
TEXT RIGHT button moves to the right of the TEXT, on the current line.

The CHANGE MODE key moves the cursor up to the command line without altering
the existing command.
The REPEAT COMMAND (REDO) key causes the command on the command line to be
obeyed. (You can also do this with CTRL _ (i.e. hold down CTRL and press the
button with the underscore. This is also the DEL button on the Visual 200).
The ENTER key causes the command line to be cleared, and the cursor left on
the command line.

sequences.
