THE PROMPT
USING THE KEYS
Many CMS prompts contain several empty fields, as in the following example:
ADD AGENT: Last Name: |
| First: |
| ID: |
| . |
When a prompt appears, the cursor is positioned at the beginning of the first field.
In many instances, both keyboards allow more than one key to perform the same function. The table below shows the function keys you use to cancel a prompt, move the cursor to different fields in a prompt, and enter data.
