BACKUP button to make the editor move backwards one word. The DELETE button will then
delete the desired word. You may just as effectively stop the keyer five words after the desired
word to be deleted and backup five words. However, the more words you have to back up, the
more confusing it may become.

to locate the desired position in the message. Then use the ADD button to enter the "Add"

mode recheck your message with the CONTINUE button. You may then exit the edit mode by
pressing the RECORD/EDIT switch to the out position.
