7.4 Using the Virtual Keyboard

If you want to create folders and rename ﬁ les or folders, it is recommended to do so from your computer when it

is connected to the Archos™ 104. The computer keyboard is easier to use. At times, however, you are not near

your computer and you would like to enter the text directly with the Archos™ 104. For this, you will use the Virtual

Keyboard. You will be taken to this screen when you rename a ﬁ le or folder or create a new folder. You will use

the LEFT, RIGHT, UP , and DOWN controls to move around the keyboard. Click on ENTER to enter the character

that is highlighted. Once your text is entered, select Enter on the bottom right.
