Introduction

Using Buttons

The button that appears at the bottom of most windows allows you to exit a window and terminate any unsaved changes you have made. You may also have to use this button to close a window after you have made any necessary

changes and set them by clicking on an , , or button.

An , , or button appears in windows that have configurable values; it allows you to confirm and SET changes you have made to those values. In some windows, you may have to use this button to confirm each individual set; in other windows, you can set several values at once and confirm the sets with one click on the button.

The button brings up a Help text box with information specific to the current window. For more information concerning Help buttons, see Getting Help, page 1-6.

The command buttons (for example ) call up a menu listing the windows, screens, or commands available for that topic.

Any menu topic followed by ... (three dots) — for example, Statistics... — calls up a window or screen associated with that topic.
