deals with each file type
• Leaves you in the empty, active
numbered file space
1. Press the file key for the file you want to clear to open that file.
2. Press clear file. A prompt appears.
3. Press Y to clear the file if you want to continue. (Otherwise, press N to
return to the file.)
Note: You can clear files only when your NEO is not connected to your
computer. If your NEO is connected to your computer, pressing clear file
has no effect.
You can clear files 1-8 simultaneously, which can be useful if multiple users
have entered information on NEO. You can clear files only from the
numbered files (either named or unnamed files). Named files that aren't
open in files 1-8 are not affected.
Follow these steps to clear files 1-8 at the same time:
1. Press shift-ctrl-option-z-clear file.
