Press hash twice again and it will go back into predictive. When in either ordinary or predictive, if you press the hash key once it will go into capitals or lower case. When you press the hash it will also tell you how many characters you have left in text. The maximum in each text is 160 characters - that includes spaces between words, punctuation marks etc. Hope you and yours are well - will be in touch soon Petrina ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
