The Input Field 
 
In the Input Field, underneath the display field, you enter new data and edit existing field content. 
As soon as [Enter] is pressed, the input is processed. The focus returns to the listbox (to the left) where you select the next field to edit. 

Special Features:

•	When the Prompt list is activated (twice Alt+y), the next prompt will be shown at once. If subfields are defined for the field being prompted, an extra window pops up where you see the available subfield codes, so you can enter and edit each subfield separately. Afterwards, the entire field appears as such in the Input field, all subfields concatenated. 

•	If the  Reserve store  is activated (Alt+r), its fields can be edited in the same way. 

•	At any time you can enter any field directly in the input field, entering the tag first, like, for example,  
#260 10 ²aBerlin :²bSpringer  
(provided you are working in the MARC configuration) This field will then be inserted into the current record. 
Tip:  For the ² sign,  Alt+m, then place caret in front of  ² and again Alt+m 

•	Help Command: Preceded by  "h ", enter the name of a help text file, e.g.,:  h doku to load doku.rtf. Not just   RTF files, but also plain ASCII files can be displayed, like   h a99.ini  will display A99.INI. 

•	FLEX File : to execute name.flx , enter   X name   
	FLEX command strings may even be entered directly: precede a command string with "x " and use \ as a separator between commands. 
 
•	ViewList: Enter the name of a ViewList, preceded by "v " , to have it displayed.
	For example:  v quick 

•	Text file (Lists, Tables): Preceded by "a ", enter the name of any text file, and it will be displayed in an `aresqa window`, for example:  a help/quick.vw to get the ViewList quick.vw (residing in the help folder). Special case: Enter just 'a' to get the textual content of the  display field converted into an ASCII text file and then displayed in the aresqa window. This is useful if, for instance, a brief result list is being displayed (after using the [List] button in the result list window). [This will work only if the onerror.flx is properly installed!  (from V25)] 

•	Web Address : Enter an URL (http://...)  abd press Enter to bring up the JanaS browser window and have the web file displayed. To see an HTML page stored locally, enter: file:///c:/... . If the file is in the HTML Subfolder of your ProgDir, just enter this:
	janas dateiname.htm 
 
•	Text element : Preceded by  "p " you may define `text elements` (also called "phrases"): 
p i Text    i = Number 1-26; these elements may later be recalled by  Ctrl+a ... Ctrl+z 
Other text elements: 
p x Text    x = Letter (small or capital) 
These elements can be recalled later by entering \ x . 
Text elements are persistent. Instead of \ a different character can be configured for the Esc function: use the Esc command in your INI file. For example:  Esc=42  for the * 

?text elements=h phras 
?aresqa window=h aq
