Dictionary File
The dictionary file format consists of the five dictionaries, each separated by two fore
slashes (//) as delimiters. The first line of the dictionary file would contain two fore slashes
indicating that it is the beginning of the file and the next line received will be word #0 of
dictionary #1. This line should be left blank since each device defaults to
word #0 of each dictionary. The following lines would contain the desired text entries, in
numerical order, for dictionary #1. When all of the entries for dictionary #1 have been
entered two fore slashes should be inserted on the next line to signify the end of dictionary
#1 and the start of dictionary #2. Again the next line, word #0 dictionary #2, should be left
blank for default purposes. This format is followed throughout the five dictionaries. The
end of dictionary five is also signified by two fore slashes.
Some important points to keep in mind when writing the file are as follows. Dictionary #1
through dictionary #4 may contain up to 128 entries (0-127). Dictionary #5 may contain up
to 1024 entries (0-1023). If all of the entries in any one dictionary are not used, the file
does not need to contain blank lines before terminating the dictionary with two fore
slashes. Each dictionary entry may contain up to 40 characters. However, entries from
dictionaries #1 and #2 are displayed on the third line of the alphanumeric display, and,
entries from dictionaries #3, #4, and #5 are displayed on the fourth line of the
alphanumeric display. The total characters of dictionary entries used in conjunction with
each other should not exceed 40 characters.
