work the same way).

The two scroll buttons allow you to scroll through lists, data
entry fields, and sometimes between screens. Use the button
most convenient for you (both work the same way).
Touch
Screen
The main screen used to display information and enter data.
Use only a recommended plastic-tipped stylus when writing
on the touch screen.
Writing Pad /
Keypad
Use the writing pad to enter handwritten Graffiti characters.
Use the left side of the pad to enter alphabetic characters and
the right for numeric characters. Graffiti characters are similar
to normal characters but require fewer strokes (see Appendix
B).
You can also enter data using a pop-up keypad. Tap the “abc”
or “123” buttons to activate a pop-up keypad. Keypads make
it very easy to enter special characters.
