The Workabout User Guide
At this stage you may want to learn more about operating the Workabout, so you should refer again to the Workabout User Guide in which the following subjects are well covered.
•Keyboard and LCD screen - pages 8,9
•Key functions and combination keypresses - pages 10,11

General principles
Remember the general rules for moving around Psion screens:
•The cursor (inverse video) highlights an available option
•Move the cursor with the yellow arrow keys to select options
•Press Enter to accept an option
•Press Menu to view lists of menus
•Press Tab to view alternative choices
•Press On/Esc to exit from menus or screens without changing them
•Press ∪ +X to exit from any application
•Press Off to switch off
•Press On/Esc to resume exactly where you were before switching off
•Press Shift+On/Esc for Help (but not in SunData screens).
"Hot keys"
You will see that many menu options provide a hot key combination for rapid access
-for example pressing ∪ +L in the Psion System Screen will take you straight into the Remote Link dialog box. This is often a very convenient form of "shorthand" for keyboard operations when you have learnt them. Note though, that the hot keys are application specific - pressing ∪ +L in the SunData program will take you to the Autolog function.
