RedBoot uses the following line editing commands.
Delete (0x7F) or Backspace (0x08) moves the cursor back one character and erases what is there destructively.
The mention of ^ is in the context of the fconfig command. This command uses some special line-editing features. When certain characters appear alone on the input line, a behavior is elicited.
^ (caret) switch to editing the previous item in the fconfig list. If fconfig edits item A, followed by item B, pressing ^ when changing item B, allows you to change item A. This is similar to the up arrow.
. (period) stop editing any further items. This does not change the current item.
Return (blank line) leaves the value for this item unchanged. Currently it is not possible to step through the value for the start-up script; it must always be retyped.
