To enter a letter, press the number key corresponding to that letter as many times
as it takes to get to that letter. For example, to enter a “c”, press the “2” key three
times. You cycle through “a” and “b”, and end up with a “c”. You can also enter a
number in Multitap text mode by cycling through all the letters until the number
appears on the screen.

Press the pound (#) key to enter a space, or hold down the asterisk (*) key and press
a number key to enter an upper-case letter.

The symbol is inserted into this field, and you are returned to either Multitap or

You must press the number key rapidly, because any pause in the pressing will
result in the current letter being entered (and the cursor moving to the next
space).
