PC Style Keyboards, Menu Item Function

The MinIT Start Menu

You can call up the MinIT Start Menu by Clicking on the Start Button, by clicking on the Desktop, or by using Alt+Shift+F1.

Hint: If a letter in the Start Menu is underlined, it is a keyboard shortcut to that item. For instance, hit P to jump to Print Queue. (Hit P again to jump to Process Monitor).

The MinIT Start Menu is the key to most of the functions of the MinIT 5250E. Click on the desired menu item or use the underlined keyboard shortcut.

PC Style Keyboards

There are a number of special 5250 keys that are not present on a standard 104-key PC Style Keyboard. If you are using a PC style keyboard you can still use these functions by hitting the following shortcut key combinations:

F1 through F12 = F1 through F12

F13 through F24 = Shift + F1 through F12 Enter = Right Control (RCtrl)

Field Exit = Enter

Error Reset = Left Control (LCtrl) Attn = Esc

Sys Req = Shift+Esc End = End

Home = Home

Dup = Numpad * Field - = Numpad – Field + = Numpad + Roll Up = Page Down Roll Down = Page Up Record = Alt+r

Play = Alt+p ¢ = Alt+c

Euro symbol = Alt+e Help = Alt+h

Zoom in (bigger font) = Shift+Numpad+ Zoom out (smaller font) = Shift+Numpad-

Again, if you wish to remap the keyboard to better suit your particular needs, the keyboard mapping utility is to be found under Keyboard within the Minit Administration Menu.
