PHONE CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPECIAL CHARACTERS 95LX 100LX
PHONE CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPECIAL CHARACTERS 95LX 100LX
On the 95LX the ALT key is used to generate special characters, such as
faces, hearts, etc. ( you can find these characters in the HP 95LX User's
Guide, pages E-2 & E-3.)
I had hoped to use these special characters as search keys in conjunction
with PHONE. However, the FIND function doesn't work for 'unusual' characters.
For example, try placing ALT-1 and ALT-2 in APPT, PHONE, or MEMO. Then,
use the FIND (F7) function on any of these characters, such as ALT-1. Note
that it locates both ALT-1 and ALT-2! The inability to differentiate between
special characters makes them less useful as search keys.

[Editor's Note: On the 100LX the PHONE's Find [F4] feature will not
accept ATL-MENU-1 and ALT-MENU-2, these are the 100LX equivalent of ALT-1
and ALT-2. However, the Find feature will work with characters generated
with the [Fn] key. See the HP 100LX User's Guide for more details on the
special character generation.]
