3.4 Message Handling
Using the Text Editor
Creating a message is quite simple.
The text is entered in the Text editor by means of the keyboard, controlled by the intelligent text editor.
Before any new text is entered, it is a good idea to clear the Text editor.
To clear the Text editor, enter menus:
F1 The editor menu is selected
FILE The file menu is selected
* Select “New Telex” and hit ENTER, as the Coast Station is supposed to forward the message to a telex
subscriber.
You will find that some characters on the keyboard cannot be entered, as the Message Terminal does not allow entry
of characters which do not have a telex (BAUDOT) representative.
