indicators</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>The status of the editor is displayed using graphic indicators. They inform

the user about things such as:</p>

<ul>

<li><p>Editing mode (numeric/alphanumeric, language-specific modes) </p></li>

<li><p>Character case </p></li>

<li><p>Predictive Text status</p></li>

<li><p>Available space</p></li>

</ul>

<p>When the editor is in the main pane, the indicators are located in the

Navi pane. A Data query that resides in a pop-up window has its indicators

within the window.</p>
