Navigating the Text Messages View  The SMS Messages window is divided into three sections:  zFolders. Click on any folder to display its contents.   {SIM SMS. Shows the contents of SMS messages in the SIM. At program startup, all previously received SMS messages in the SIM are uploaded to the GC75 Manager program. This is done so that the New Messages icon on the Status view can be appropriately displayed. Thereafter, new messages are read by responding to new message indications from the card. Messages in this folder have a status flag to indicate whether they are read or unread. This is only valid for the current program session. The next time the GC75 Manager starts all previous messages will be automatically marked as Read in the SIM.   {Saved Messages. The contents of this folder are managed by copying or moving messages from the SIM folder via appropriate Message View commands.   {Sent Items. This folder contains messages that have been successfully sent.   {Unsent Items. This folder contains messages that the user has composed but which have not been successfully sent. This can occur, for example, if the user composes messages while the card is in the Radio Off state, or if the attempt to send the message fails (card responds with an error message to send request). Messages in the Unsent Items can be sent at a later time.   zMessage lists. Displays the contents of the selected folder.   zMessage detail. Displays the contents of the selected message.
