the entry for Menu 1.1: File Manager , and the File Operations step-by-step

Morph. The Morph key was created to help you quickly find different variations
of a single word. For example, when you type a verb into the Message Window
and select the
Morph key, various tenses of that verb will fill the word prediction
boxes at the bottom of the screen. To choose one of the given variations, use the
Word1-5 keys to select the appropriate word prediction box. If you are looking
for a variation that is not shown, try selecting the Morph key again. The boxes
will be refilled with any other available selections.
