Purpose
Some commands require text to be entered (Add), edited (Edit), or viewed (View). You do this using this screen.
The text is input using the keys 0-9. Repeatedly pressing a key will cycle through the characters associated with that key, e.g. 'a', 'b', 'c', '2' for the '2' key. Pressing another key or waiting for a short time will move to the next character, selecting Clear will delete the current character. You can also insert words from the dictionary.
Alternatively, you can use the Switch command to enter text using your phones default text input method, which may provide predictive text.
Which method is better depends on the sort of lists you use. If the lists contain the same words over and over again, which is typical of shopping lists, then the input method provided by QuickList, with its word selection is likely to be better. If the lists consist of words that have not been used before, and your phones default method provides predictive text, it maybe better.
