Days with multiple entries
Up to two year symbols can be displayed for each day in the Year view, though you can
set year symbols for as many entries as you like for each day. When there are two or
more entries, a message such as '(1/2: + - for more)' is displayed in the top right-hand
corner of the screen. The text for the first entry for a particular date is shown on the top
line of the screen, whenever the cursor is positioned over that date in the grid. To see
the text for further entries use the '+' and keys to move between them.
Movement keys
You can move the cursor with these keys:
• «—»move to the previous/next day.
• T i move to the day above or below the current one. If you are at the top or the
bottom of the year view they scroll the screen by a year.
• Control-*—> move a week at a time.
• Psion-*—» move to the first/last day of the month.
• Control-Tl move a month at a time.
• Psion-tl move a year at a time.
• Control-Psion-T! move by four years at a time.
• Shift-U scroll the Year view backwards/forwards by a month. (You can also use
Shift with Control-*- tl -> to keep the cursor on the same line, scrolling the Year
view if necessary.)
• Shift-Space makes the current month go to the top of the Year view. You can then see
the next 12 months.
Changing the appearance of the Year view
Select the 'Set preferences' option on the 'Special' menu, and then the 'Year view'
suboption on the menu shown. The 'Preferences in Year view' dialog lets you set the
month that is displayed first, and whether appointment durations or end times are
shown with the entry text on the top line.
You can also change the display to show just one symbol at a time, for example to show
all your anniversary entries, without cluttering the Year view with all the other entries
for which you have set a year symbol. To do this, select the 'Which symbols' option on
the 'Special' menu. Set the 'Which symbols' line to 'One', and type the 'Symbol to
display'. Press Enter to complete the dialog.
As a reminder, the symbol is shown in the lop left of the Year view. To return to
showing all symbols, select 'Which symbols' again and set the top line to 'AH'.
