Installing Letters-on-Right Keyboard:

Bu default, you install a MessagEase keyboard with letters on left (ANI-123). But if you wish, you can change that to a keyboard with letters on right (123-ANI) by installing the file in the folder: LettersOnRIghtSkin(123-ANI).

Before you install this new file, you need to follow the procedures for removing the other skin. See below!After you install this file, remember to perform a soft reset and then "Configure" to tell MessagEaseST that your are using a letters-on-right keyboard.

Installing Blue keyboard

If you prefer you can install the Blue keyboard, instead of our default Gray/Black. To do this, just remove the current PINMgr.prc file in use and install either of the files in the folder BlueSkins. You can either install the default letters-on-left keyboard, or install the letters-on-right keyboard. If you install the latter, you also need to tell MEST that you are doing so by setting the keyboard to 123-ANI in "configure".

 


In folder: BlueSkins: Blue-LettersOnLeft-ANI-008


In folder: BlueSkins: Blue-LettersOnRight-008-ANI

 

Please Note: To REMOVE MessagEase from your iQue:

  • Run MessagEase and select Graffiti, then "Done".

Enter any of the less frequent letters (v, l, x, m, f, w, y, k, y) by dragging from anywhere on the its key toward the center key. For example, to enter "v" drag down-right from anywhere on the top-left key.

 

Enter numbers by tapping on the number keys.
