INTRODUCTION
As the LCD prompts you, you must press EXECUTE to complete the naming process. If you
change your mind, press EXIT at any time. Pressing EXIT will leave the naming process and
revert to the original name.
When using a computer keyboard, you will note that the numeric keypad functions just like the
RE32’s. You will also note that you can use the keyboard’s first six function keys to duplicate the
RE32’s soft keys. ESC(ape) duplicates the action of the RE32’s EXIT key. SHIFT and CAPS
LOCK work as you would expect as do the cursor keys which duplicate the action of the RE32’s
CURSOR keys. In fact, for the most part, you will find that the keyboard performs much like it
would when used with a computer.
NOTE: The following characters are not available from the computer keyboard:
£ $ ^ & { } [ ] @ | ~ ‘ + -
The following keys also have no function:
TAB CTRL ALT PAGE UP PAGE DOWN
HOME END F7-F12 PRINT SCREEN SCROLL LOCK
RENAMING FILES
There will be occasions where you want to rename an existing project, library or clip. Renaming is
exactly the same as naming a file - move the cursor to the file you wish to rename and start typing
to enter a suitable name.
You may also re-name existing files that have a number in them very quickly just be pressing any
of the numeric keys. For example, you can rename PROJECT 1 to PROJECT 2 simply by pressing
2, EXECUTE.
You can also add numbers to files in this way. For example, to re-name the file ANIMALS to
ANIMALS 1, simply move the cursor to the file, press 1, EXECUTE. Again, pressing EXIT will abort
the naming process.
PROMPTS
Two types of prompts are used on the RE32. One is a temporary one that is displayed for information
only. I.e.:
This pops up and lasts for a few seconds. Pressing any key while it is displayed will clear the
message. Different messages stay up for different lengths of time depending on the nature of the
message. If the message relates to something fairly serious such as DISK DRIVE NOT READY,
the message will stay up longer than, say, the message FILE COPIED or PROJECT LOADED. In
the event of a really serious problem, the message may stay up permanently until any key is
pressed.
You may also receive this kind of prompt on the bottom line of the LCD:
In this situation, the EXECUTE key’s LED will be flashing and you should press EXECUTE to
continue (the equivalent of answering “YES” to the prompt) or EXIT to abandon what you are
doing (the equivalent of responding “NO”).
