Sending (Beaming) Files to Other NEOs
When you have the Beamer SmartApplet on your NEO, you can beam files
from one NEO to another right within AlphaWord Plus. You don’t need to
open the Beamer SmartApplet to send and receive files. Follow these steps:
1. Move your NEOs to within three feet of each other and aim their infrared
ports
A at each other as shown.
2. The sender should open the file he or she wants to send and press ctrl-
send.
3. The receiver should open the file space that he or she wants to receive
the text into and press ctrl-B.
4. If the file that the receiver chose was not empty, a message will ask if you
want to overwrite it or append to it (that is, add the beamed text to the end
of the file). Move your cursor next to an option and press enter.
You can also use the
Send and Receive
options in the
Beamer SmartApplet itself,
but it is faster to send files
from within AlphaWord Plus.
For more information about
beaming and the Beamer
SmartApplet, see page 203.

If there is text in the
clipboard of the NEO
that’s receiving a
file, NEO will ask if you want
to overwrite the clipboard with
the file you’re receiving. To
continue and allow the
clipboard to be overwritten,
press enter.
