A first entry area and a second entry area are generated for display on the incorporated display screen of a digital electronic device. The first and second areas are configured to display alphanumeric characters. A cursor is generated for selecting from among the various alphanumeric characters displayed in the first area and the second area. The cursor is operable to highlight a currently selected alphanumeric character such that the currently selected alphanumeric character is visible and easily distinguishable to the user. The movement of the cursor is controlled with the four way controller built into the digital electronic device. Show less
