The SSU has a build-in help system, which you access by clicking a Help button or choosing the Help menu.

Customizing the SSU Interface

The SSU lets you customize your interface using the Preferences section of the main window. The AF sets these preferences and saves them in the AF.INI file so that they take effect the next time you start the SSU. There are four user customizable settings:

Color-lets you change the default colors associated with different items on the screen using predefined color combinations. The color changes take effect immediately.

Mode-lets you set the desired expertise level: novice, intermediate, or expert. The expertise level determines which tasks are visible in the Available Tasks section and which actions each task performs. For a new mode setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and restart it.

Language-lets you change the text in the SSU to the appropriate language. For a new language setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and restart it.

Other-lets you show or hide the status bar at the bottom of the SSU main window. The change takes effect immediately.

Note: If you run the SSU from read-only media (CD-ROM, for example), these preferences are lost when you exit the SSU.
