Abstract

The two-pass directory entry device includes a directory memory, a user interface device and a directory entry controller. The directory entry controller, in a first-pass, stores into the directory memory at least one name received from a user through the user interface device. In a second-pass, the directory entry controller stores at least one number received from the user through the user interface device. The directory entry controller recalls the at least one name stored in the directory memory, outputs the recalled at least one name to the user and associates the at least one number received in the second-pass with the at least one name received in the first-pass.
