Hi Eileen,

Place focus on the messages text box and double tap anywhere on the screen. This should open your default on screen keyboard. Touch in the bottom middle of the screen to the spacebar and slide left past the dictation button to the next keyboard button and with focus on the next keyboard button, double tap and hold and single finger slide up until FlickType is announced and then release. The FlickType keyboard will be the displayed keyboard or if you have your settings in Flicktype full screen mode, the entire screen will be in FlickType mode.

I hope this helps.
