SSTJOHcl a 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. A file name is made of up to eight characters. A beep sounds if you try to input 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 let- ters. All letters are automatically converted into capitals. 4. To correct an error, use „ or MIN to erase the pre- ceding 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 which already exists. If you have more files than can be displayed on the screen, use , CD, e , and rcobi) + PilMq. 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 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 automatically searches for the AUTO SAVE FILE. If such a file exists, the system 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 will appear: POWER FAILURE....rerover AUTO SAVE FILE? Press RETURN(yes) or CANCEL(no). Press emig to recover the contents of the file, or gum 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 message will not appear. 70
