Editing records

After you create a record, you can change, delete, or enter new text at any time.
Two screen features tell you when your handheld is in Edit mode:

A blinking cursor

One or more dotted edit lines

NOTE

In Note Pad you can write anywhere on the screen. Therefore, you will

not see an edit line or blinking cursor unless the cursor is in the title line.
