	~~The scan listing for the old bookmarks is “frozen”, for example, pressing enter or “bottom”~~
	~~will not add to the listing and only the scan lines for that bookmark are shown.~~

	~~However the latest bookmark listing can be added to with fresh~~ scans~~. Bookmarks on this page listing are shown~~ in ~~green~~. ~~If you return to the latest bookmark~~, ~~only the lines for that bookmark are shown — any others previously on the listing become old~~ bookmarks ~~that you can use PF5 to display. Note that pressing PF5 from the latest bookmark page will take you to the bookmark one less than the latest bookmark, even if the display has a number of earlier~~ bookmarks ~~that have accumulated on the page.~~

	Note that PF6 can be used to refresh the listing page so it is ready for new journal lines (if already on the latest bookmark). This is equivalent to pressing PF3, setting the <b>Start Time</b> to <code>-0</code>, and then pressing Enter.
