name in the
FIND BY NAME box to search for it. (Press or to change the
first character, then press to move the cursor to the next character
and repeat until the name is correct, then press
ENT to jump to the list
below.)
3. If the list is short, you can jump directly to the
FIND IN LIST box by
pressing
