Chapter 5. Navigating the Terminal Menu
Window Panes
When you first start a terminal menu session, the terminal menu window is divided into left and right panes. The left pane shows the list of available submenus, while the right pane shows the contents of the currently selected submenu.
Submenus that display horizontally can also be viewed vertically: move your cursor to an index number and press return. Viewing submenus verti- cally rather than horizontally, allows you to see information at a glance rath- er than scrolling across the window.
