Editing Techniques

This section explains all the general editing techniques used
in Edit mode when making a new entry or editing an existing
entry in all of the applications. (The Memo application has many
additional features for working with text; see p.51 for more a
information.)
Fields
Most applications divide the display into field boxes. The
number of fields in each application varies, as do the types of
fields. The different types of field include text fields, a date field,
time fields and pop-up fields. There are also a few special types
text
of fields. In the User Files application, you can define the
names of fields according to your preferences (see p.48).
You can type any character into a text field. The size of a text
field is limited only by the size of the entry. Text fields adjust
their size automatically to accommodate the number of lines
entered.
Only a date can be entered in a date field, usually in the format
MM/DD/YYYY. For example, you would type 01011999 to enter
JANUARY 1.1999.
Only a time of day can be entered in the time field, in the format
of HH:MM followed by [AM] or [PM] (for AM and PM). For
example, to enter 9:00 AM, you would type 0900 then press
