Working with scrollable input fields

On several panels, File Manager provides scrollable input fields that allow you to enter values longer than length of the displayed entry field.

You can recognise a scrollable field by the presence of one of the following adjacent to the end of the entry field:

+: Plus sign. Indicates the field is scrollable to the right
-: Minus sign. Indicates the field is scrollable to the left
+-: Plus sign and minus sign. Indicates the field is scrollable to the right or left

If the length of the input field displayed on the panel is insufficient for the value you want to enter, you can either:

Progressively scroll to the right as you enter the value with the Right function key (F11) or by entering the RIGHT primary command (with the cursor positioned within the entry field), or
Press the Expand function key (F4) if available, or enter the EXPAND primary command, to display a window that allows you to enter the full length of the value.
In the expand pop-up window, you can toggle the view of the data between character and hex by issuing the commands HEX OFF and HEX ON.
