The Data Memo "Diary" Mode lets you store memos that are up to 381 
characters long.

To enter the Data Memo "Diary" Mode, highlight the Data Memo "Diary" Mode
icon (SYMBOL) in the main menu, then press EXE.

Creating a Data Memo

We'll create the following memo as an example:

Memo Name   :  HIKING TRIP

Memo Content:  JOHN MARY BILL TED SUZY AND I WENT
               HIKING.  I LOVED IT!

That's it; a short memo.  Here's how it's done:

1.  Enter the Data Memo "Diary" Mode from the main menu.

2.  Type: H I K I N G SPACE T R I P EXE.

3.  Type: J O H N SPACE M A R Y  SPACE B I L L SHIFT
          LEFT ARROW T E D SPACE S U Z Y SPACE A N D SPACE I
          SHIFT LEFT ARROW W E N T SPACE H I K I N G ALPHA/
          NUM . A L P H A/N U M SPACE I SHIFT LEFT ARROW 
          L O V E D SPACE IT FUNCTION

          Then use UP ARROW to highlight "Symbols,"  Press EXE.
          Use UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, LEFT ARROW, and RIGHT ARROW to
          highlight the exclamation point ("!").  Press EXE twice.

4.  The message, "Item Name?" will prompt you to type in the next data
    item.

Notes:      If you attempt to store more data than there is room for, the
            message, "Memory Full!" will appear on the display.  If this
            happens, press AC/ON to clear the message.  Then delete
            unnecessary data, and try entering the data again.

            If you press AC/ON or C/CLR during data display, "Item Name?"
            will appear on the display.

            If you press AC/ON while you are entering data, "Item Name?"
            will appear on the display.  If you press C/CLR while entering
            data, the screen that requests, "Item Name?," or "Data?" will
            reappear.

Automatic Sorting

Data is automatically sorted alphabetically by the initial letters entered
as the Memo Name.

Recalling Data

There are two ways to recall data:

    Sequential search

    Initial character search

To recall data using sequential search:

1.  Enter the Data Memo "Diary" Mode.

2.  Use UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW to search for the data you want.  Holding
    down UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW scrolls quickly.

3.  If no data have been stored, "No Record!" will be displayed on screen.

To recall data using initial character search:

1.  Enter the Data Memo "Diary" Mode.

2.  Type in up to 16 characters.  They should be the initial characters of
    the data item you wish to find.  For example, to find the data item we
    entered at the beginning of this chapter, type:  H I K I N G.

3.  Press UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to find either the first (DOWN ARROW) or
    the last (UP ARROW) of the data items whose initial characters match
    those you typed in.

4.  If the data you have specified can't be found, "Not Found!" will
    appear on the display.  To return the screen to the way it was before
    you began the search, press LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW.  You can edit
    your search data and try again.
