Storing

Messages go into EEPROM as you create them. When you depress ENTER
to complete a message, the Module stores the message automatically. No
special procedures are needed.

Editing

The message editing function is exactly the same as the message entry
function.

When you have a message on the display, any characters you type will
overwrite the characters on the display. Store the message, when you have it
to your liking, by depressing ENTER.
