# Mnemonics

'ME' | Begin Edit Mode

Editing or Behaviour

## Description

Use 'ME' to begin Edit mode. In Edit mode, any keystroke or negative CTL event not used by the input (e.g. Up/Down arrows) will be returned to your program in the CTL variable instead of being rejected.

PxPlus uses built-in Edit functions to format and process all keyboard input but will terminate input and returns values to your program when it encounters keystrokes or negative CTL events the input editor does not handle.

To end Edit mode, use the 'MN' mnemonic.
