Larry, this is all fine, but I find that if you’re editing and the keyboard is displayed on the screen, it’s often hard to find space on the screen to swipe up and down. Ait seems to me that a “hide the keyboard ‘cos I’m editing stuf” button might be useful.

Hi Jim If you do a down swipe to go forward one character and up swipe to go back a character. This also depends on how the rotor is set, so if you need help on that then please ask.

Hi, When entering text into a text field on the iphone and you forget to say put a space in back along the line or you want to go back and delete a letter or word, how can this be achieved? I don’t seem to be having much success with editing the text once it is in the text box, unless i delete back to where i want to make the changes. Any help will be appreciated. Jim .
