Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Selecting a Waypoint

Selecting a Waypoint
In almost all cases, selecting a waypoint involves entering its alphanumeric identifier
and verifying that the waypoint found is the one you want. (Creating a waypoint also
involves entering its alphanumeric identifier.) After this explanation, we will substitute
the phrase "select waypoint XYZ" (or "create waypoint XYZ") for the more lengthy
process. The following explanation presupposes that you have not selected any
waypoints or screen objects yet. If you have, the Argus will "default" to the most
recently selected appropriate waypoint name, and give you the opportunity to use or
modify it instead of creating a new one.

The screen should now show the title "DIRECT TO D.B. WPT," and the softkeys UP,
DOWN, NEXT, and DONE should be available. The letter "A" with an underline
cursor appears on the screen. If, instead of the letter "A," there appears a waypoint
or facility name, it's because the Argus has selected a "default" based on previous
operations. If there's s previously selected waypoint, it becomes the default name for
the next waypoint, on the assumption that you may want to modify its
