Displaying and 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

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.

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
