>1. This correction applies to the 'Searching for Format Indicators' section of the
>'Word Processor' chapter. If you want to change the format of paragraphs, you may
>need to locate new line indicators. The command for searching for a new line
>indicator is SPACE with dots 2-6 (CONTROL with ENTER).
>
>2. When opening a document in the File Manager, you may need to browse through a
>list of folders and file names to find the one you want. To browse a sub-directory,
>follow these steps:
>
>A. From the Main Menu, press F for File Manager and then D for Directory.
>
>B. Change from folder to directory by pressing SPACE with T (CONTROL with T).
>
>C. KeySoft prompts: "Directory name?." Either press SPACE and search through the
>list of folders until you find the one you want, or if you have many folders to search
>through, type the path instead. You will now be able to view the first level of folders.
>
>D. Move down the list of folders an press ENTER once you find the sub-folder you
>want. KeySoft will now prompt: "Directory name? Press ENTER for /downloads."
>Now either press ENTER to select the downloads or return to the
>list of downloads and select My Subdirectory at the next level down.
>
>E. KeySoft will display the subdirectory in /downloads, for example, "test". Press
>ENTER to select "test" and KeySoft will prompt: "Directory name? Press ENTER for
>/downloads/test." If you press ENTER at this point and "test" is the last subdirectory
>in the list, KeySoft will prompt: "List of files in (directory name)?."
>
>The only problem with browsing a sub-directory using the method described above, is
>that once you access a sub-directory, you're stuck there until you back out. To browse
>the directory tree without getting stuck in a sub-directory, press SPACE with dots 5-6
>(RIGHT ARROW) or SPACE with dots 2-3 (LEFT ARROW).
>
>If you are in a sub-directory and want to move up a level, press SPACE with dots 2-3
>(LEFT ARROW) and KeySoft will move up a level. For example, from
>/downloads/test to /downloads. To move up yet another level, press SPACE with dots
>2-3 (LEFT ARROW) again. To browse sub-directories from within a directory, press
>SPACE with dots 5-6 (RIGHT ARROW.)
>
>3. Most application management happens from the Internet Options menu. This is
>accessible when you are in KeyWeb, either on a web page or a locally stored
>document, by pressing BACKSPACE with O (CONTROL with 2.) One of the
>available options is called 'File Download Options'. From the File Download Options
>List you have the choice of turning "Stream Audio Links" on (the default) or off. To
>allow for the streaming of audio links, ensure that "Stream Audio Links" is on. If you
>want to download an mP3 file, you need to turn "Stream Audio Links" off.
