Emptying the Scratchpad If you made a mistake in the process of putting the names on the scratchpad
in the right order, you can start over. Use UNDO to put all the names back
onto the screen. Because you have not used RETRIEVE yet, copies of the
names you put on the scratchpad are still there. UNDO does not affect the
information that is on the scratchpad. So, you must empty the scratchpad
before you begin to move the names there again; otherwise, you will
retrieve both sets of names when you use the RETRIEVE key. To empty the
scratchpad, follow these steps:
1. Press *C.
2. When you see the response line, type EMPTYSCRATCHPAD (or the
abbreviation, EM).
Note You can abbreviate all the TEDIT commands and items when you type them on the
response line. Use any abbreviation you like as long as it uniquely identifies the function.
You can find the shortest unique abbreviations in several places: on the reference card, in
the reference manual, and in the online help.
