Such body memory 4 is a random access memory, and is constantly powered by a battery for backup. configured to be used. The main body memory 4 may also be a read-only memory, etc. The processing circuit 2 includes a second
An IC memory card 5 serving as a memory is detachably connected to the replaceable case. This IC memory card is, for example, a random access memory, and even if it is removed from the processing circuit 2, it is powered by a built-in battery and is constantly backed up to maintain stored contents. The IC memory card 5 also stores data such as an address book. A plurality of IC memory cards 5 may be prepared, and the address book data may be classified for each IC memory card, for example, by company and for personal use.

A pointer 6 is connected to the processing circuit 2 .

This pointer 6 indicates that either the start address 4a or 5a of the address book data storage area stored in the main body memory 4 or the IC memory card 5 is the switching key 3.
It is stored alternatively by operation a.

The structures of the address book data in the main body memory 4 and the IC memory card 5 are the same as shown in FIG.

By switching the contents 4a and 5a of the pointer 6, the stored contents of the main body memory 4 are read out, or the stored contents of the IC memory card 5 are read out, and the text editing processing operation is performed based on the read stored contents. It can be carried out.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the store areas of the main body memory 4 and the IC memory card 5.0 The store area of the main body memory 4 has a starting address 4a of rooo.

O'', and then the final address r07FFF8'', where the subscript H represents a hexadecimal number.
The storage area of the IC memory card 5 has a starting address 5a of '08000RJ' and a final address of '0FFFF, lJ. Thus, the structure of the storage area of the main body memory 4 and the IC memory card 5 is the same. The processing circuit 2 has the starting address 4a of the main memory 4 '0O
OOOJ is stored, and rosoo, which is the first address 5a of the IC memory card 5, is also stored.

Each time the switching key 3a is pressed and operated, these start addresses 4a and 5a are alternately transferred to the pointer 6 and stored, and the processing circuit 2 uses the main body memory 4 or IC with this pointer 6 as the start address. The contents of the store area of the memory card 5 are sequentially read.

The operation of the processing circuit 2 will be explained with reference to FIG.
