Using the Pull-Down Menus

You can perform all basic operations from the Main Menu’s menu bar. When you select an item in the menu bar, a “pull-down” options menu appears, listing all the functions which you can perform (shown right).

➤To use a pull-down menu

1.Use the left/right arrow keys to highlight the item and press Enter. Or, if you prefer, you can type the highlighted letter for the item you wish to “pull down”:

F = File

B = Backup O = Options

2.Once in a pull-down menu, you can use the same keyboard conventions you do to make a menu

selection (use the up/down arrow keys or type the highlighted letter).

3.To close a menu, press Esc.

System Messages

At the bottom of each DKAdmin/DKBackup screen is a message line (see Page 5). Pay particular attention to this line as you work, since it displays important system information and processing options for the application or screen in which you are currently working.

Error Messages

If you make an incorrect entry while working in DKAdmin/DKBackup, you are sometimes prompted with an error message. This tells you why DKAdmin/DKBackup cannot process the attempted transaction. By reviewing the error message, you will be able to determine your error and successfully execute the desired transaction.

On-Line Help

DKAdmin/DKBackup offers you on-line help for many system operations. Should you have a question, press F1 (F1-Helpmust appear at the bottom of the screen to be active) to display an explanation of the operation in which you are currently working. To close the Help window, press Esc.
