Examples of Modifying Text

Example 1: We want to change the runtime menu item

Result Page

to

Gage Result

, a name which identifies the custom display we have created to

replace the

Result Page

display.

To do this:

Pick

Env.

Change Text

box to display the

Search Method

menu.

Pick the

Text String

box. This displays the keyboard.

Using the keyboard, enter these characters:

RESULT

and pick the

Ret

key. This locates the

Result Page

dictionary entry and

displays the first line:

Pick

Clr

to clear the entry.

Enter these characters:

Gage (EOL)

(The

EOL

character is on the shift keyboard). The

New Text

area will be

empty at this point – this is because picking the

EOL

character creates a

blank second line, which is displayed in the

New Text

area.

Enter these characters on the second line: _

Results

(where _ is a

space character)

To review the first line, use the

arrow key on the shift keyboard:

Pick the

Ret

key. The

Status:

field displays the message

Dictionary

Entry Changed.

Having changed the dictionary entry, when you next display the runtime

Display

menu, the

Result Page

box will be changed to read

Gage Results

.
