4.0.9 Make characters flash.
a). Existing text: position cursor over the character(s)you want to flash and press
the "FLASH" key. Note: once a character is flashing, the only way to stop it
from flashing is to delete it.
b). New text: First, press the "FLASH" key, then type in new characters. These
characters will flash. To return to non-flashing characters, press the "FLASH"
key again, and continue typing. These new characters will not flash.
a. While still in Edit Sub-Mode, press the "NEXT" key to select a new, blank page.
b. Press the Background "STYLE" key to choose a solid background.
c. Press the background "COLOR" key to choose the color of the solid background.
d. Move the cursor to any area on the screen by pressing the Arrow keys.
e. You can change the size of the cursor with the "SIZE" key. Try the default setting
(small size) first.
f. Simultaneously press the "ALT" key + the SPACE BAR (the large "PLAY" key). The area
below the cursor will become a "clear" block (the source video will show through
the solid background).

keys , you can make a customized pattern of "clear" blocks, where the source

4.0.8 Select text border.
Press the "BORDER" key. The text on the screen will cycle through the three
border styles available: solid-color, color- filled black outline, and color- filled
white outline.
Note: Memory capacity is 110 lines of text total (over all pages created). A "line
of text" is created every time you press the ENTER key or the cursor
moves down to new line on screen--even if there are no characters on that line.
In other words, blank lines count as lines of text in memory, and should therefore
be avoided. If your titles exceed memory capacity, a screen prompt will read:
"TITLER OUT OF MEMORY." If this occurs, delete one line (or one full page) of text
at a time until total lines of text are within memory capacity.
Note that you may also delete all pages of text by pressing the "ALT" +
"SHIFT" and then "DELETE" key.
* To make a character with the accent mark that appears in the upper
right corner of an Accent key: press all three "ALT", "SHIFT", and Accent
keys, then the character key.
* To make capital letters with accent marks, turn "CAPS LOCK" on, and repeat
the above steps.
f). To erase text: Press the "DELETE" key to erase the character marked by the
cursor; press the "PAGE" and then "DELETE" keys to erase entire page; press
"ALT" + "SHIFT" and "DELETE" keys to erase all pages.
4.0.10 Make different style characters
Press the "Enhance" key to select one of three character styles. Note that
whole line of characters will be effected by the enhance key.
