. . . . .
• AlphaQuiz—AlphaQuiz allows students to take quizzes on the NEO 2. If
you’d like to use this program, you need to install QuizManager and
QuizDesigner on your computer. You can create quizzes on your computer
using QuizDesigner, and then send them to one or more NEOs using
QuizManager. (See page 23.)
• Calculator—This program allows you to do calculations right on your
NEO 2. (It can be disabled using the Control Panel settings.)
About AlphaWord Plus
When you start your NEO 2, AlphaWord Plus opens automatically (unless
you’ve changed settings to have another SmartApplet open.)
AlphaWord Plus is the program that lets you write on NEO 2. Simply press
one of the file keys (file 1, file 2, etc.) to choose the file to write in and start
typing. Characters are saved in that file as you type them; there’s no need to
worry about losing text if you accidentally shut off the NEO 2. The arrow keys,
backspace, and delete all work as they do on a typical computer keyboard.
If you want to delete the text from one of the files, press clear file. Then,
press Y for yes when the NEO 2 asks if you’re sure you want to clear the file.
To copy, cut, and paste text, you can use the same keyboard commands that
you use in word processing programs on your computer. To copy text, select it
and press ctrl-C or z-C. To cut text, select it and press ctrl-X or z-X. To
paste it, press ctrl-V or z-V.
If you want to name and save a file so you can use the file space for other text,
press ctrl-S. Then, type a name for the file and press enter. You can then
clear the file space without losing the file you saved.
For more information, see your NEO and NEO 2 User Manual.
About the Responder SmartApplet
The Responder SmartApplet lets you use NEO 2 as you would use a
Renaissance Responder. You can use NEO 2 with the AccelTest Software,
Accelerated Math RP, and the 2Know! Toolbar.
Before you use the Responder SmartApplet, make sure you’ve installed
AlphaSmart Manager (see page 4), connected a Renaissance Receiver to your
computer (see page 7), and named the Renaissance Receiver (see page 8).
See the label on the
back of your NEO 2
for a list of helpful
keyboard commands. These
commands can help you
perform tasks more quickly.
