To save keystrokes, you can define a key to print the placeholder {DATATRIEVE_session}. For example, adding this line to your LSE initialization file enables the use of the key sequence GOLD/D for printing the placeholder when you are in LSE: define key/if_state=gold D "do ""enter text {DATATRIEVE_session}"" " LSE continues lines longer than 80 characters off the template screen. If you don't want to insert continuation characters to see the entire display of long lines, you can define keys for horizontal scrolling in your LSE initialization file. For example, you could add the following lines to your LSE initialization file to enable right and left scrolling with use of the GOLD (PF1) and angle bracket (<>) keys: ! Define horizontal scrolling keys define key/if_state=gold ">" "repeat 32 shift/forward" define key/if_state=gold "<" "repeat 32 shift/reverse"
