characters if you are programming a message line in the following manner.
A. Press a key once to select the first (left-most) character, twice to select the second,
or three times to select the third character. Then press the decimal key to enter
the character.
B. If you wish to place a space between characters, touch Space and then the decimal
key.

decimal key. Then select the character (by press a key once, twice or three
times), and press the decimal key again. Continue to touch Double, and then
