Key to Press

Description

 

 

<Enter>

Execute Command - The <Enter> key is used to activate submenus

 

when the selected feature is a submenu, or to display a pick list if a

 

selected feature 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

 

submenu, 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.

 

 

Left and right arrows

The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu

 

pages. The keys have no affect if a submenu or pick list is displayed.

 

 

Up arrow

Select Item up - The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a

 

menu item's option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the <Enter>

 

key activates the selected item.

 

 

Down arrow

Select Item down - The down arrow is used to select the next value in a

 

menu item's option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the <Enter>

 

key activates the selected item.

 

 

<->

Change Value - The minus key or the <F5> function key is used to

 

change the value of the current item to the previous value. This key

 

scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying

 

the full list.

 

 

<+>

Change Value - The plus key or the <F6> function key is used to change

 

the value of the current menu item to the next value. This key scrolls

 

through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full

 

list. On 106-key Japanese keyboards, the plus key has a different scan

 

code than the plus key on the other keyboard, but it has the same effect.

 

 

<F1>

Pressing <F1> on any menu invokes the general help window.

 

 

<F9>

Setup Defaults - Pressing <F9> causes the following to appear:

 

Load Optimized Defaults?

 

[Yes] [No]

 

If "Yes" is selected and the <Enter> key is pressed, all Setup fields are

 

set to their default values. 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 <F9> was pressed without affecting any existing field

 

values.
