Text and list entries (list and spell modes)
When using the NAV ONE system, it is often necessary to
enter information or select it from lists in the NAV ONE database.
Because these methods are so widely invoked, it is important
to become familiar with using the list and spell modes early on.
Data selection and entry is accomplished by using either:
 List mode — enables the user to select entries from data lists in the system database.
The system always defaults to list mode and provides the appropriate data list in context
of the operation in progress.
 Spell mode — enables the user to spell out information using characters built into the
system. These character lists are shown in illustration 1.
Both methods are usually available and the preferred one can be chosen by use of the
LIST and SPELL function buttons. The benefits of the two modes can be combined by
toggling (switching) between them.
The four cursor keys are the means of maneuver through lists and the spelling process.
A practical example of using the list, spell and combined modes begins on page 30.
