Enter

Execute Command

The Enter key is used to activate sub-menus when the selected feature is a sub-menu, or

 

 

 

to display a pick list if a selected option has a value field, or to select a sub-field for multi-

 

 

 

valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will undo the

 

 

 

pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.

 

 

 

 

 

ESC

Exit

The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key will undo the

 

 

 

pressing of the Enter key. When the ESC key is pressed while editing any field or

 

 

 

selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered.

 

 

 

When the ESC key is pressed in any sub-menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the

 

 

 

ESC key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed and the

 

 

 

user is asked whether changes can be discarded. If “No” is selected and the Enter key is

 

 

 

pressed, or if the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before ESC

 

 

 

was pressed without affecting any existing any settings. If “Yes” is selected and the Enter
