<p><c><![CDATA[tty]]></c> is a simple command-line interface program where
keystrokes are collected and interpreted. Completed lines are sent to the
shell for interpretation. A simple history mechanism saves previous lines,
which can be edited before sending them to the shell. <c><![CDATA[tty]]></c>
is started when Erlang is started with the following command:</p>
<pre>
erl</pre>
<p><c><![CDATA[tty]]></c> operates in one of two modes:</p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p>Normal mode, in which text lines can be edited and sent to the
shell.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Shell break mode, which allows the user to kill the current shell,
start multiple shells, and so on.</p>
</item>
</list>
<section>
<title>Normal Mode</title>
<p>In normal mode keystrokes from the user are collected and interpreted by
<c><![CDATA[tty]]></c>. Most of the <em>Emacs</em> line-editing commands
are supported. The following is a complete list of the supported
line-editing commands.</p>
<p>Typographic conventions:</p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item><c>C-a</c> means pressing the <em>Ctrl</em> key and the letter
<c>a</c> simultaneously.</item>
<item><c>M-f</c> means pressing the <em>Esc</em> key and the letter
<c>f</c> in sequence.</item>
<item><c>Home</c> and <c>End</c> represent the keys with the same
name on the keyboard.</item>
<item><c>Left</c> and <c>Right</c> represent the corresponding arrow
keys.</item>
