Using This Guide

Text Conventions in This Guide

The examples below identify and explain specially formatted text that is used throughout this guide.

•The names of your keyboard keys, A1500 control panel buttons, and certain software instructions appear in a bold type. For example,

Home, End, Tab, Start, Setup, or Cancel.

•Some keys must be pressed at the same time to perform a task. We show this with the key names and the plus (+) symbol; for example, Ctrl+Home.

•When we discuss hard drives and diskette drives, we use capital letters to identify the drives; for example, drive A.

•Software is stored in directories on the hard drive. These directories are called folders. We also show them in capital letters, for example,

MY FOLDER.

•Sometimes, you will need to type information and press the Enter key. You will be told to “enter” this information.

•Sometimes, you will need to type information without pressing the Enter key. You will be asked to "type" this information.

•Sometimes you will enter a command into a text box. This is similar to older operating systems. We show these commands in lower case and bold type; for example, install or a:\install.
