TOPIC

    I have an Apple MessagePad 120 with the Newton 2.0 OS. When entering words in the Word List the caret does not hold the entry position for the next letters entered.

    After I bring up the keyboard in any application, select the book to access the Word List, and type in a new word, I am unable to use the pen to move the caret. I must use the arrow keys. After using the arrow keys to get to a letter in the word, if I try to add a letter, it always puts it at the end of the word. What is wrong? How can I work around this?

DISCUSSION

    This is a problem with the Word List and will be addressed in a future patch. The only way to edit a mistake in the middle of the word is to erase all the characters from the end of the word to the mistake and retype the last part of the word.
