The MinIT Start Menu
You can call up the MinIT Start Menu by Clicking on the Start Button, by clicking on the Desktop, or by using Alt+Shift+F1.
Hint: If a letter in the Start Menu is underlined, it is a keyboard shortcut to that item. For instance, hit P to jump to Print Queue. (Hit P again to jump to Process Monitor).
The MinIT Start Menu is the key to most of the functions of the MinIT 5250E. Click on the desired menu item or use the underlined keyboard shortcut.
