Hi Terry, Yes, your steps sound correct. I'm just going to re-phrase them here, if you don't mind, to make sure I understood what you were saying correctly, and I'll just add in some helpful notes which might assist you. What you want to do is enter an appointment in the planner. From the Main Menu, select KeyPlan. At the KeyPlan Calendar, you must first choose a day before you can enter the Appointments Menu. I'm not sure if you implied this in your list, but you didn't mention selecting KeyPlan or a day from the callendar before you began talking about appointments, so I'll just go through the commands you can use in case this was the step you thought you might have been leaving out. If, at the KeyPlan Calendar, you press SPACE with dots 3-4, you'll just get an Error Alert Tone. At the KeyPlan Calendar, you can: Select the Day Offered: ENTER; Move Forward a Day: SPACE with dot 6; Move Back a Day: SPACE with dot 3; Move Forward a Week: SPACE with dot 5; Move Back a Week: SPACE with dot 2; Move Forward a Month: SPACE with dot 4; Move Back a Month: SPACE with dot 1; Move Forward a Year: SPACE with dots 5-6; Move Back a Year: SPACE with dots 2-3; Type the Date in the Format: number sign, month, number sign, day, number sign, year, an example being, for March 4, 2004, you would enter 3 4 2004. Once you've selected a date, your cursor is either placed at the top of the page for that date, or, if there is existing text, it is put ahead of any existing text. Once you're at this point, you can now enter an appointment. Although you can go to the Schedule Appointment Option in the Appointments Menu by pressing SPACE with dots 3-4 and then S, as you suggested, the shortcut to do this is SPACE with dots 2-6. You'll be prompted for the day of the appointment, and this is the KeyPlan Calendar, so you can follow the same procedure as explained above to select a day. Press ENTER after doing so. You then have to enter the time in this format: number sign, hour, number sign, minute, then am or pm (e.g.) 4:25 PM would be written as 4 25 am. Then, after pressing ENTER, you're asked for the Title, and you put in the required text. After pressing ENTER, you're asked if you want to set an alarm for the appointment. Press Y for Yes or N for No. If you select No, your appointment is scheduled, and you're done. If you select Yes, you're prompted for a warning time, which is the amount of minutes the alarm will sound before your appointment, and you put in a number between, and including, 0 and 120, as you pointed out. Your appointment is scheduled. FYI, in the Appoints Menu, the other options, which are "Cancel Appoint" "Reschedule Appointment" and "Alarm Status" (which you enter when your cursor is on an appointment, which you can do by pressing any touch cursor button above the cells which contain the appointment's text, and it tells you if an alarm is set or not, and gives you the options to set or clear one, depending on if an alarm is set or not when you enter this option, and it also allows you to change the warning time), can be reached with shortcuts. You don't have to go to the Appointments Menu with SPACE with dots 3-4 and then select C, R, and A respectively; for Cancel, Reschedule, and Alarm Status, the keyboard shorcuts, respectively, are: BACKSPACE with C, BACKSPACE with R, and BACKSPACE with A. The commands for navigating through the entries of the planner, from day to day, and to the top and bottom of a certain day's page, are all correct: Enter a New Appointment: Follow procedure above, starting with section on entering the Appointments Menu; Current Entry That You Are On in the Entire Planner for That Year: SPACE with dots 1-4; Next Entry in That Year's Planner: SPACE with dot 4; Previous Entry in that Year's Planner: SPACE with dot 1; Current Day of That Year's Planner: SPACE with dots 2-3-5-6; Next Day in That Year's Planner: SPACE with dots 5-6; Previous Day in That Year's Planner: SPACE with dots 2-3; Top of Current Day's Page (the page on which your cursor is located): SPACE with dots 1-2-3; Bottom of Current Page (the page on which your cursor is located): SPACE with dots 4-5-6. The reason I say "that year's planner" is because each planner file covers a year, which means if you want to go to another year, you have to press SPACE with E to return to the KeyPlan Calendar, and then select another year. The year begins at 12 AM on the 1st of January of the year, and the first time you use a certain year's planner, a file is automatically created in the KeyPlan folder on the Flash Disk, which stores all your entries for that year; a planner of 2004 would be called "2004 Planner" and the 2005 planner would be called "2005 Planner" etc. Note that the commands for moving by entry, day, etc. discussed above move your cursor to that position, but if you ever want to know the date of the day your cursor is currently in, you can press SPACE with dots 1-5-6, and the date will be displayed with the day of the week and the year included, so it would look like: Thursday, March 4, 2004. HTH. Maria
