To select several items at once
Where multi-selection is available, you can select several items at once. The
selected items are highlighted. The commands you use affect all the selected items.
Multi-selection works in most lists.
To select items one by one, scroll to the item and press and hold down Ctrl. While
pressing down Ctrl, scroll to each item you want to select and press the space bar.
To select a larger set of consecutive items, paint the items by pressing and holding
Shift + using the ∧ and ∨ arrows on the Arrows key.
Multi-selection is cleared when you press the Arrows key.
Special characters
The character key Chr on the communicator keyboard is used to create characters
that are not included on the keyboard. The character key can always be used when
you are able to enter characters from the keyboard.
Note: Some special characters may get distorted when sent out of your
communicator. This happens, for example, with mail or short messages,
and is because of differences in network protocols.
To insert special characters from the character table
1 Press and release the Chr key. A dialog opens.
2 Press the Menu key to select the page with the character you want to insert.
3 Select the special character or characters, then press Insert.
