CREATING TEXT ON A PAGE.

To store or edit text in pages, start the Editor by pressing the [MENU] key then
press the appropriate [FUNCTION] key for [EDIT]. When you enter the Editor
you will see the four options available, namely [PAGE] [DATE], [TIME] and
[COUNT].
Press [PAGE] followed immediately by a number [1] to [9] to select the
page you wish to edit.
NOTE. The [PAGE] key has a time-out on it. You must press a number key
within two seconds of pressing the [PAGE] key. If you run out of
time, try again.
NOTE. Make sure that the shift lock is set to upper case so that you get
numbers and not the other characters when you press a number
key. If you begin getting the wrong characters eg ! instead of 1,
this means that the shift lock is wrongly set. Change it by pressing
the key.
NOTE. The screen displays the selected page. The selected page number is
shown at the top left hand corner of the screen. The cursor, a
flashing asterisk, appears on line 1, position 1. Any text previously
entered onto that page is visible.
NOTE. The cursor, and hence the insertion point for text, can be moved by
pressing the CURSOR [ARROW] keys. If you move the cursor
past the edge of the screen it will re-appear (wrap) at the opposite
edge of the screen. For example, if it leaves the screen at line 8,
position 22, it re-appears at line 1 position 1 and vice versa.
NOTE. Now type whatever text you wish to appear on the screen. Text wraps
automatically down to the beginning of the next line, so there is no
need to deliberately move the cursor.
