4.2.2.3 Locking and Unlocking the MAIN Window

 






   When your MAIN window is full of information, you generally press the 
   Enter key to see another screen of information. The Enter key moves the 
   session journal forward towards the most current information. 



   If you use the FIND PF key (PF5 or PF17) or one of the scroll PF keys (PF7 
   or PF19 through PF11 or PF23) to go backward in the session journal, the 
   Enter key no longer moves the session journal forward. When this happens, 
   the MAIN window is considered locked and the word "locked" appears in the 
   MAIN field in the lower right-hand corner of the display screen. You can, 
   however, continue to use the FIND PF key (PF5 or PF17) and the scroll PF 
   keys (PF7 or PF19 through PF11 or PF23) to move forward and backward in 
   your session journal, and you can continue to enter commands in the 
   CURRENT window.  The CURRENT window never locks. 



   To unlock the MAIN window, press PF12 (or 24) to position you at the most 
   current part of your session journal. The word "unlocked" then appears in 
   the MAIN field in the lower right-hand corner of the display screen and 
   the Enter key again moves the session journal forward.
