Editing text

When you press a key and hold it, the charac-

ters of that key appear in the bottom display

line and are highlighted one after the other.

When you release the key the highlighted char-

acter is inserted into the input field. For how to

enter special characters, see page 28.
The display briefly shows whether upper or

lower case letters or digits is selected when you

switch from one mode to the next. The bottom

text line displays "abc -> Abc", "Abc -> 123" or

"123 -> abc".

Order of directory entries

The directory entries are usually sorted in

alphabetical order. Spaces and digits take first

priority. The sort order is as follows:
1. Space (shown here as

s

)

2. Digits (0–9)
3. Letters (alphabetical)
4. Other characters
To get round the alphabetical order of the

entries, insert a space or a digit in front of the

name. These entries will then move to the

beginning of the directory. Names which you

have preceded with an asterisk will move to the

end of the directory.
