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 already used for another file. When typing a file name, please keep the following rules in mind: 1. A file name is made of up to eight characters. A beep sounds if you try to enter more. The file name is followed with a period and a three character extension that is automatically created by the word processor. With the WP application, this extension is ".WPT". 2. 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. 3. The word processor does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters. All letters are automatically converted into capitals, 4. To correct an error, press BACKSPACE, CORRECT, or WORD OUT to erase the preceding letter or use and -) to move the text cursor back over the name and retype. 5. Check the list of file names to avoid typing a file name that already exists. If you have more files than can be displayed on the screen, press T , , CODE + PRE 5, and CODE + NEXT S 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 Save function that prevents the loss of a document if the power is accidentally turned off before you save the file. When you have created a file and entered up to 2,000 key strokes of data, your word processor will automatically create an AUTO SAVE FILE, which is 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 word processor automatically searches for the AUTO SAVE FILE. If such a file exists, the word processor recognizes-that a power loss occurred during the last session with that diskette, and the following message telling you how to recover the lost file appears: POWER FAILURE.... cwver AUTO SAVE FILE? Press RETURN (yes) or CANCEL (no). Press RETURN to recover the contents of the file, or CANCEL to delete the AUTO SAVE FILE from the diskette. 78 WordProcessing
