- Word Processing Data Type
- Similar to free text in that any characters can be entered; however, there is no limit to the amount of text that can be entered. The built-in word processor in the VISTA System is an elemental line-oriented type of system that is easy to use. Help messages are available to you. There are two characteristics of the line editor that may not be obvious. Text will not wrap around; therefore, it is best to track the cursor on the screen and press the Return key to begin a new line. Secondly, while a line of text is being entered, the only editing permitted is through the use of the DEL key (to delete characters to the left of the cursor). However, once an entire text is entered, it can be edited with the Replace technique.
