Editing text
When you press a key and
hold
it, the characters of that key appear in the bottom display
line and are highlighted one after the other. When you release the key, the highlighted
character is inserted into the input field. For how to enter special characters, see page 124.
The display briefly shows whether upper or lower case letters or digits is selected when you
switch from one mode to the next: the bottom text line displays "abc -> Abc", "Abc -> 123"
or "123 -> abc".
Order of directory entries
The directory entries are usually sorted in alphabetical order. Spaces and digits take first
priority. The sort order is as follows:
1. Space (shown here as
s
)
2. Digits (0–9)
3. Letters (alphabetical)
4. Other characters
To get round the alphabetical order of the entries, insert a space or a digit in front of the
name. These entries will then move to the beginning of the directory. Names that you have
prefixed with a star will move to the end of the directory.
