[Ham-Computers] Toshiba Finalizing

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

I 'tried' to read the manual ... Did not seem to help!

The problem turned out to be I was pressing the indicated button too many 
times. Sometimes it was already on the first option, so instead of pressing 
the down button 'four' times, it should have been three.

In another instance they has the buttons side by side instead of one over 
the other. No way I could know this!

Thanks for your patience and assistance. Both are much appreciated.
