 <p>In order to enter characters into the line, simply type them.  The typed
 character appears where the cursor was, and then the cursor moves one
 space to the right.  If you mistype a character, you can use your
 erase character to back up and delete the mistyped character.
 </p>
 <p>Sometimes you may mistype a character, and
 not notice the error until you have typed several other characters.  In
 that case, you can type <kbd>C-b</kbd> to move the cursor to the left, and then
 correct your mistake.  Afterwards, you can move the cursor to the right
 with <kbd>C-f</kbd>.
 </p>
 <p>When you add text in the middle of a line, you will notice that characters
 to the right of the cursor are &lsquo;pushed over&rsquo; to make room for the text
 that you have inserted.  Likewise, when you delete text behind the cursor,
 characters to the right of the cursor are &lsquo;pulled back&rsquo; to fill in the
 blank space created by the removal of the text.  A list of the bare
 essentials for editing the text of an input line follows.

 <p>(Depending on your configuration, the <tt class="key">Backspace</tt> key be set to
 delete the character to the left of the cursor and the <tt class="key">DEL</tt> key set
 to delete the character underneath the cursor, like <kbd>C-d</kbd>, rather
 than the character to the left of the cursor.)
