Dinosaur Sightings: MicroPro International application suite

The Main Menu provides you with access to all the commands that you'll need when creating and editing a document.

Back in those days, a mouse wasn't really an option so you had to move the cursor using the arrow keys on the keyboard. To make cursor movement easier, WordStar introduced the [Ctrl] key diamond for basic cursor movement. As you can see in the Cursor Movement section of the menu, pressing the [Ctrl] along with s,e,d,x keys (which form a diamond on the keyboard) moves the cursors one character or line to the left, up, right, or down. This diamond allows you to quickly move the cursor while keeping your hands in the touch typing position with fingers on the home keys, thus allowing to you keep your typing rhythm.
