Auto Lookup

Auto-complete is the default lookup mode, where the matched list of words is displayed as you type. Cleared M button indicates auto-complete mode. In addition to all the legal alphabets and punctuation marks, wildcard characters ('*' or '?") are also allowed.

Scrolling

To scroll up/down a page of the definition or adjacent entries: Press the hardware Up and Down keys.

The scroll bar for the definition text only appears when the text is large enough to require scrolling. Scroll bar is only good for scrolling a line or a page in either direction within a definition. The hardware buttons are required to scroll to adjacent headword entries.
