KeyList is the name given to the program which handles the Address List database (and the program which you use to clear "ghost messages"), and it can handle all KeyList databases, meaning the databases created in that program, which would be all databases of the BN because the file type used to create a definition file which governs the database is called a "KeyList Definition File". When you press A from the Main Menu, you should be hearing "KeyList Menu" because that is the name of the menu. If you SPACE through this menu, the first option will be "Add Address", and if you hit ENTER when you land on "Add Address", you'll be taken to the "Entry List for Address List" prompt, but if you're using first-letter navigation from the KeyList Menu, meaning you have pressed A from the KeyList Menu, you will receive the prompt "Entry List for Address List" because pressing A from the KeyList Menu means you've already activated the "Add Address" option, so you're already taken to the first prompt of the option, the "Entry List for Address List", because pressing A from the KeyList Menu means you already know what option you're selecting, as it's the only one in that menu that begins with the letter A, and so there is no need to announce to you that you've selected the "Add Address" option by pressing A. The reason you're hearing "Entry List" is because this is the list where you enter new information, as opposed to selecting records by entering information which is contained in one or more records in a field, which is when you receive the "Selection List" prompt (at a Look up), and you're hearing "Address List" because you're in the fields of the database called "Address List" (as opposed to, for example, the E-Mail Folders database, where, if you were to select the option to add an address when the E-Mail Folders database was selected, you would hear "Entry List for E-Mail Folders" as opposed to "Entry List for Address List" because you were working with the E-Mail Folders database, and the same would hold true with the "Selection List" prompt in that the prompt would reflect the database selected). The same holds true when looking up addresses in the Address List database: If you SPACE through the menu, you will hear "Lookup Address" as the second option, and when you press ENTER on it, you will receive the "Selection List for Address List", but pressing L from the KeyList Menu automatically brings you to the "Selection List" because there is only one option which starts with L in that menu, meaning you know what option you've selected when pressing L, so there's no need to tell you that option. After you've selected the Address List DDF through the Setup Options, you're returned to the KeyList Setup Options menu because it's the nature of KeySoft to return you to your current menu after you've finished an operation from within it, and beginning with KeySoft 5.1, the "Select KeyList File", "Free Database Space", and, for those using multilingual software on their units, the "New Entry Languages" were grouped into a menu called the KeyList Setup Options menu. This isn't a problem, as these are the normal prompts you should be hearing based on the commands you're executing. Hope this helps to clear up the confusion.
