16.2.2.3 Military Renditions.
Finally, you can change the word which KeySoft says when you press READ with COMMA, twice
to identify an indistinct letter. For instance, if you prefer to hear "toffee" instead of "tango" when
you check the letter T, go to the "Add word" option and press T, followed by an exclamation mark.
For the misspelling, type "toffee". This now does as you wish, but it does not alter the
pronunciation of the word "tango" in normal text.
You can have fun changing the way things are spoken, but take care! It can be a source of mystery
later on, when you have forgotten that you made the change.
16.2.3 Deleting Words from the Pronunciation Dictionary.
From the Pronunciation Dictionary menu, press D. KeySoft prompts,
"Type word to delete." Either type the normal spelling of the word and press ENTER, or review
the pronunciation dictionary by pressing SPACE repeatedly and select the word from there. The
word is deleted and you are returned to the Pronunciation Dictionary Menu.

2. KeySoft prompts: "Date format? (default). Press ENTER for USA." Press S for USA
format, which is: month/day/year, or K for UK format which is: day/month/year. Press ENTER
to confirm your selection. To leave the date format unchanged, just press ENTER.
3. KeySoft prompts: "Time format? Press ENTER for 12 hour." Press 1 for 12 hour or 2 for 24
hour clock format, followed by ENTER. To leave the time format unchanged, just press
ENTER.
4. KeySoft prompts: "Time zone? Press ENTER for (current time zone)." Either press
ENTER to choose the current selection, type the first letter of your timezone repeatedly until
you hear it then press ENTER, or cycle through the list of time zones by pressing
CONTROL with SPACE.
5. KeySoft prompts: "In Daylight saving time? Currently (yes/no)." Type Y for Yes or N for
No then press ENTER. Or if the current selection is correct, just press ENTER.
6. KeySoft prompts: "Time? Press ENTER for (current time)." Enter the time, in the form:
hh:mm, where "hh" is hours and "mm" is minutes, separated by a colon. You may abbreviate an
entry with fewer digits and no separator if it is unambiguous. In 12 hour format, follow the
minutes by a space and then A or P to denote before noon and after noon. Press ENTER.
