Entering text

When you start MicroEMACS, the cursor will be at the top left hand corner of your terminal screen. Any text you now type at your keyboard will be placed before this cursor. This means the cursor will move to the right each time you type in a character.

When you are typing in text and you reach the end of the line, the cursor will move to the start of the next line of your screen. This is known as 'word wrap'.
