around the menus. Tap on commands marked with a 
or press the right arrow key to see further commands.
A menu command with three dots at the end means that selecting the command will display a “dialogue” where you enter more information (see “Using Dialogues”, below).
If a menu command is grey, it means that it’s not currently available; e.g. you cannot Copy unless you have first selected something to copy.
2.8.6 Using Dialogues
A “dialogue” appears when you need to make selections and enter further informa- tion. You can move between dialogue items by tapping on them, or using the up and down arrow keys. Dialogues contain one or more of the following elements:
Textbox:
where you just type in your information. When you tap in the textbox, you will need to open the
Dropdown:
where you select from a number of options. You will see left and right arrows around the current selection; you can change the selection by tapping on the arrows, by pressing the left and right arrow keys, or by typing the first letter of the option you want.
Checkbox:
where you make a choice between selecting an option or not selecting it. Just tap on the checkbox, or press the left and right arrow keys to add or remove a checkmark.
Radio buttons:
where you make one choice from a number of options. Just tap on an option, or use the left and right arrow keys to make a selection.
If an item is grey, it is currently not available. For example, if you do not have a transflective display, the Backlight On checkbox in Backlight Properties will be greyed out.
