er 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.
