FAQs

What if I accidentally edit a record and the following message comes up:

You have a modified record in the Main Display. Select one of the following:
>hlp >cancel "Cancel" >remove record >save record

1. press the 'home' key
2. type 'cancel' [without the quotes]
3. press function key F11
4. press the 'home' key

If this does not work, as a last resort, logoff.
