Displaying or editing text files
To open and edit text files (ASCII files, e.g. with the extension txt or
ini

), proceed as follows:

Call the file manager

Select the drive and the directory in which the text file

is saved

Move the highlight to the text file

Press the ENT key: The TNC displays a window for

selection of the editor

Press ENT to select the Mousepad application.

Alternatively, you can also open the TXT files with the

TNC's internal text editor

The TNC opens the text file in its own application

using the Mousepad additional tool

With the key combination ALT+TAB you can always return to the TNC

user interface while leaving the text file open. Alternatively, you can

also click the corresponding symbol in the taskbar to switch back to

the TNC interface.
The shortcuts you are familiar with from Windows, which you can use

to edit texts quickly (CTRL+C, CTRL+V,...), are available within

Mousepad.
To exit Mousepad, proceed as follows:

Use the mouse to select the File menu item

Select the menu item Quit: The TNC returns to the file manager

If you open an H or I file on an external drive and save it

on the TNC drive using Mousepad, the programs are not

converted automatically to the internal control format.

Programs that are saved in this way cannot be run or

opened with the TNC editor.
