2. Press the [1] key to choose New. The title bar shows Untitled 1 or Untitled since a file
name has not yet been assigned. The cursor marks the location where you may type
text.
Note: When the working area is full, the message "File can't open" appears. Then, you
would close a file to clear a working area in order to open a file.

Note 1:
Do not use lower case letters, or the symbols #, &, *, $ and % in telex messages.

the end. The communication line is automatically disconnected when this string is
detected.
