graphical interface in use. For the sake of consistency, the following conventions will be followed throughout this and other SPMA guides.

Screen Displays

SPMA runs under a variety of different operating systems and graphical user interfaces. To maintain a consistent presentation, screen displays in this and other SPMA guides show an OSF/Motif environment. If you’re used to a different GUI, don’t worry; the differences are minor. Buttons, boxes, borders, and menus displayed on your screen may look a bit different from what you see in the guide, but they’re organized and labelled the same, located in the same places, and perform the same functions in all screen environments.

Some windows within SPMA applications can be re-sized; those windows will display the standard window resizing handles employed by your windowing system. Re-sizing a window doesn’t re-size the information in the window; it just changes the amount of information that can be displayed (see Figure 1-1). When you shrink a window, scroll bars will appear as necessary so that you can scroll to view all the information that is available.

Use the scroll bars provided to choose what to display in a window that’s been resized
