Editing text

line and are highlighted one after the other.
When you release the key the highlighted char-
acter is inserted into the input field. For how to
enter special characters, see page 28.
The display briefly shows whether upper or
lower case letters or digits is selected when you
switch from one mode to the next. The bottom
text line displays "abc -> Abc", "Abc -> 123" or
"123 -> abc".
Order of directory entries
The directory entries are usually sorted in
alphabetical order. Spaces and digits take first
priority. The sort order is as follows:
1. Space (shown here as
2. Digits (0–9)
3. Letters (alphabetical)
4. Other characters
To get round the alphabetical order of the
entries, insert a space or a digit in front of the
name. These entries will then move to the
beginning of the directory. Names which you
have preceded with an asterisk will move to the
end of the directory.
