Using the action keys

The left and right action keys give you quick access to tasks that you can do on the current screen, so the action key items vary from application to application and from screen to screen. Look on the screen directly above the action key to see the action that it takes in the current context. In some contexts, these keys may do nothing at all. In most cases the right

action key opens the menu, and the

left action key activates a specific command, such as New or Edit. Remember that action key functions vary from screen to screen, so be sure to check the onscreen label before pressing the action keys.
