Entering a File Name

When you are prompted to enter a file name, the WP INDEX screen shows only a

list of the text files already saved on the diskette. The list of text files is displayed

so that you can easily avoid entering a file name that is already used for another

file. When typing a file name, please keep the following rules in mind:

1

.

4.

5.

A file name is made of up to eight characters. A beep sounds if you try to

input more.

The word processor accepts only the following characters in file names:

upper and lower case letters of the alphabet (A-Z and a-z), the digits (0 to 9),

and the hyphen (-). All others are refused and trigger a beep.
The word processor distinguishes between upper and lower case letters. This
means that you can have a file called “Letter”, and a file called “letter” on the
same diskette.
To correct an error, use [

^

kspace

I , (CX)OTOT], or iwORSlfflB to erase the pre­

ceding letter or use (3 and Q fo move the text cursor back over the name
and retype.
Check the list of file names to avoid typing a file name which already exists. If
you have more files than can be displayed on the screen, use and ^ to
scroll the file names on the WP INDEX when typing a new file name.

Automatic Save Function

This word processor is equipped with an Automatic

Sav,

the loss of a document if the power is accidentally t rned oi
file.

When you have created a file and input up to 2,000 key strokes of data, your word

processor will automatically create an AUTO SAVE FILE, which will be updated
every 2,000 strokes. Thus, in the event of an accidental power outage, all but the
last input of your file (those after the last updating of the AUTO SAVE FILE) are
safe.

When you turn the power on with a diskette inserted in the drive, the system auto­

matically searches for the AUTO SAVE FILE. If such a file exists, the system rec­
ognizes that a power loss occurred during the last session with that diskette, and

the following message telling you how to recover the lost file will appear:

POWER FAILURE___ recover AUTO SAVE FILE? Press RETURN(yes) or CANCEL(no).

Press iRETUiS to recover the contents of the file, or

to delete the AUTO

SAVE FILE from the diskette.

When you save a file, the AUTO SAVE FILE is deleted so that the next time you
turn the power on, the AUTO SAVE FILE will not be found, and the above mes­
sage will not appear.
