Highlighting can be words in reverse text (text with white letters on a black background) or words set off in a different color. To select, move the pointing device arrow to the reverse text topic and double-click. (See ªSelections with the Pointing Deviceº on page 92 for instructions to use the pointing device to make selections.) To make a keyboard selection, tab to the highlighted word and press Enter. (See ªSelections with the Keyboardº on page 92 for instructions to use the keyboard to make selections.)

To exit the Help facility without viewing previous help topics, click on Close from the system menu pull-down menu, press Ctrl+F4, press Alt+F4, press Esc, or double-click on the system menu icon.

Note: When two keys are joined with +, for example, Ctrl+F4, press and hold Ctrl, press F4, and then release F4 and Ctrl.
