List Boxes
Each HP Easytime/XL screen contains at least one list box. A list box is an area displaying columns of information. These can be items related to the current HP Easytime/XL screen, for example, a list of files on the File Management screen or a list of available choices, for example, printers currently available on the system.
Identifying a List Box
Every list box contains a scroll bar on the right edge (and/or bottom edge) of the list box. If there are more items available than fit in the list box, scroll bars allow you to scroll through the list to view more information. The scroll bar arrows indicate the directions you can scroll in a list.
Scrolling in a List Box
The cursor keys used depend on the kind of terminal and keyboard you have. Use the following keys to scroll in a list box:
