Using List Editor

kCreating a List

A list starts out with an initial default name like list1, list2, list3, etc. The List Editor allows you to generate list data (list variables) quickly and easily.

Note

The List Editor window has six default list variables, named “list1” through “list6”. These lists are system variables that are defined by the system. For more information about system variables, see “Variable Types” on page 1-7-2.

The list name can be changed from its default name, “list1” through “list6”, to a name that you specify.

u To create a list

(1)On the List Editor window, tap the list name cell at the top of the list you want to name. This selects the list name cell.

(2)Enter up to eight bytes for the list name you want, and then press E.

You cannot use any ClassPad reserved words as list variable names. You also cannot specify a list name that is already used by another list.

Tip

If you enter a list name that is already used for another list, tapping wdisplays the contents of that list. The data of the existing list replaces data you have input on the List Editor window.

Entering a list name without specifying a folder stores the variable name in the current folder. To store the variable name in another folder, specify the folder name along with the list name. To store the variable name of a list named “a” in a folder named “abc”, for example, enter the following for the list name: abc\a.

kNavigating Around the List Editor Window

The following describes the different techniques you can use to navigate around the List Editor window and select the cell you want.

u To select a cell

Use the cursor key to move the highlighting up, down, left, and right. The List Editor window scrolls automatically whenever the highlighting reaches a cell at the edge of the window. You can also select a particular cell by tapping it with the stylus.
