control key generates shortcut commands which

characters can be generated by pressing and
holding the character key while pressing the cor-
responding key, see Chapter 8 "Notes: Notes set-
tings - Special characters" on page 8-3.

Special features

Communicator help
The texts in the Help section deal with issues re-
lating to the feature or application that was on
the display when the Help button was pressed.
The application icon on the left side of the screen
represents the application where help was re-
quested. If no special help is available for that
topic, a list of available application topics is
shown instead.
To view the list of all help topics for the current
application, press Application topics. The fol-
lowing commands are available:
To open the selected topic, press Open.
To show common Help topics, press General
topics.
To return to the active application, press Close.
7. Arrow keys
The arrow keys can be used to move the cursor
or the selection frame (in the same way as the
scroll keys). In some applications, the arrow keys
have special functions (see "Special features:
Settings and Menus" on page 2-13).
8. Enter
When the cursor is shown, pressing Enter moves
the cursor to the beginning of the next line or
adds a new line. The Enter key can also be used
to select contacts and contact information in the
Contacts directory and to open folders and docu-
ments. When information notes (like a missed call
notification) are shown, you may press Enter in-
stead of the OK command. In options and set-
tings, when a value can be toggled, you may press
Enter instead of Change.
9. Help
Press the Help key to activate a context-sensitive
help.
To view the list of general communicator topics,

are available:

Close.
If the help topic that you wanted was not among
the topics of the current application or General
topics, close Help, start the correct application
and press the Help button again.
