The most common writing system used by computers is ASCII. In this system, each letter, number,
and commonly used punctuation mark is represented by a number between 0 and 127 (Since the
system was developed in the U.S., "commonly used" means commonly used in the U.S.) There is
no way to represent accented characters and other special symbols, so the system has been extended
with numbers greater than 127. The Extended ASCII option controls how KeyBook interprets these
characters represented by numbers greater than 127, so-called "extended characters."

Sometimes extended characters occur not because they are accented characters or special symbols,
but because the file has been transmitted through a communications system that has added a "parity
bit" which in effect has added an offset to some of the characters. To adjust for this, use the
"Convert to standard ASCII" option, by pressing C, followed by ENTER.

Sometimes the extended characters are used purely for visual effects such as boxes around
paragraphs, etc. In these cases the book will be easier to read if the extended characters are removed
altogether; use the "Ignore" option for this.

To retain the extended characters when the book is opened, select "Retain" by pressing R, or press
ENTER as this is the default setting. If you select Retain, another option is presented: KeySoft
prompts:
ENTER as this is the default setting. If you select Retain, another option is presented: KeySoft
prompts:
"Extended character set? Currently ANSI."
More than one system has been used for extended characters; therefore you must tell KeyWord
which one to use for this book. The options are the "ANSI" character set and the "MSDOS"
character set. If you don't know which one to use, try one and if the extended characters do not
come out correctly, try the other. For the "MSDOS" set, press M followed by ENTER. For the
"ANSI" set, press A followed by ENTER.

When you have made all your selections, press ESCAPE.

The Flash Disk is shared by the other programs like KeyWord and KeyMail, and its contents are
preserved much like files on a conventional hard drive. There is an empty folder called My Books
provided on the Flash Disk. Many users who have a large collection of books prefer to keep these
on a storage card.
