Let's create a small Note containing some
commonly used formulas. Press SHIFT
NOTEPAD (not SHIFT NOTE ) and you will see
the Notepad Catalog shown right. Yours
will probably be empty.
The keys at the bottom of the screen allow you to
an existing Note,
create a
one or to
and
Notes to or from another hp 39g+ (or
a computer). A Note is deleted using the DEL key, while the SHIFT CLEAR
key will delete all Notes in the catalog.
Press the
key to begin a fresh Note.
You will be presented with the screen on the
right, requesting that you enter a name for the
Note. Names can be any length and can
contain any characters, alphabetic, numeric,
spaces as well as any from the CHARS menu.
However, if the name is longer than 14
characters it will be truncated in the display
because of the space taken up by the
indication of how much memory is used.
When you press ENTER after typing in the
name, you will see a blank screen waiting for
you to begin typing in your Note.
ALPHA
Locking
mode
Before we begin, a word about making your typing easier. The normal
method to enter an alphabetical character is to use the ALPHA key.
Lowercase letters are obtained by pressing SHIFT first. The ALPHA key can
be held down with one hand while you type with the other, but this isn't
convenient and lowercase can't be locked this way. Space can be obtained
via ALPHA SPACE, with SPACE located on the + key.
At the bottom of the screen in the Notepad
view you will see screen keys labeled
,
and
(backspace). If you press
then all the keys from then on will type
their alphabetic values rather than their normal
mathematical functions. Pressing the SHIFT
key first before the
key will lock it into lowercase rather than into
uppercase. Pressing the
key again disengages it. The
key is
there purely for your convenience since it is also on the keyboard.
