Fields
Most applications divide the display into field boxes. The

field is limited only by the size of the entry. Text fields adjust
their size automatically to accommodate the number of lines

Only a date can be entered in a date field, usually in the format
MM/DD/YYYY For example, you would type
07232001 to enter
July 23, 2001.
Only a time of day can be entered in the time field, in the format
of HH:MM followed by
or (for AM and PM). For example,
to enter 9:00 AM, you would type 0900 then press .

the field, and is used by pressing
