Adding Metadata?

I'm trying to upload some demos to go with some tutorials I wrote, but when I try posting them it tells me to hit "f9" I think it was... And add metadata. I'm not exactly sure where or when to hit f9. Anybody care to give a quick walk-through on adding metadata? I'm on Android if it makes a difference.

press F7 to assign cover for the cartridge, also fill TITLE, AUTHOR and etc. tags and don't forget to ave cart

I have filled out AUTHOR, TITLE, etc... at the top of the code. I tried pressing F7 in the editor and at the website when it complains but nothing...I can switch between code editor, sprite editor etc with the hotkeys so I know they work... Where and when do I press F7?

run the game and press F7 to assign cover :)

Oh...got it! I never thought of that. thanks!

I've solved it. On android the keyboard doesn't want to pull up when the game is running. Just install the "Hackers Keyboard" from the play store, it's free. Go into the settings and turn on "persistent notification". run the game, pull down the notifications bar and pull up the keyboard manually. Hackers keyboard has function keys, so hit F7 and your good to go!
