Description

Pressing on any menu invokes the general help window.

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 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 key
activates the selected item.

or <->

Change Value - The minus key or the 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.

or <+>

Change Value - The plus key or the 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.

Execute Command - The 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 key will
undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.

Exit - The key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field.
This key will undo the pressing of the key. When the key
is pressed while editing any field or selecting features of a menu, the
parent menu is re-entered. When the key is pressed in any
submenu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the key is
pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed
and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded.

Setup Defaults - Pressing causes the following to appear:

Setup Confirmation

set to their default values. If "No" is selected and the key is
pressed, or if the key is pressed, the user is returned to where
they were before was pressed without affecting any existing field
values.
