BOSS programming question

Got my BOSS 4 up and running today. I have no experience CNC
programming. I am just fooling around with this machine trying
to get a feel for CAM. I am able to manually program the machine to do
a G77 facing cycle and a few others but I cannot get the machine
to do a G79 hole milling cycle. Question is how do I enter "I" and "J"
values? There are no keys on the MDI keypad to select these values,
as there are for X and Y. The G79 format according to the programming
manual is G79 J (value) F (value). The example the manual gives is:
G79J1.0F100 to mill a 1.0 radius hole plus the cutter radius. But
there is no J button.
Any help?
Thanks,
Scott
