       Further Information 

   *   If the item is a Text item you can use the screen editor keys
       available on your terminal to make any changes.

       If your terminal does not support full screen editing, you are
       automatically put into TDP/3000 or, if that is not available, into
       Edit/3000.  If none of these is available HP Desk will ask if you
       want to delete the document and retype it.

   *   For details on how to edit HP Slate, HP Word or VisiCalc
       documents, refer to their documentation.

   *   If you want to edit a MemoMaker or AdvanceWrite document you must
       first convert it to a document type which is editable on your
       system.  See "Converting Documents" .
