Entering Text
When you first turn on your AlphaSmart 3000, you will see the start-up
screen for a few seconds, which gives your AlphaSmart 3000 version
number (for example, AlphaWord v1.x.x, English) and the number of the
file it is opening. Then the screen will display the contents of your file. The
cursor will be in the same position it was when the AlphaSmart 3000 was
last used.
To enter text, simply begin typing as you would on any other keyboard. Use
the backspace key to erase. As soon as you type each character it is automat-
ically saved. There is no Save command. The arrow keys allow you to move
your cursor through the text. Additionally, the following keyboard combi-
nations will also move your cursor as specified:
x-o moves the cursor up four lines (one displayed page)
x-, moves the cursor down four lines (one displayed page)
