material in this manual.

mkdir C:\XLINK

to make a new X-Link

directory.”

Menu Names

are italicized. You choose menu options. For
instance, “Choose the X-Link/New... command.”

Dialog Box Names

are italicized. For example, “The File to Open
dialog box appears.”

Dialog Box Options

select the COM port you are using.”

Keystrokes

Single keystrokes appear in square brackets. Press
keys separated by “+” signs at the same time. For
example, “Press ALT + O,” means you should
press the [Alt] key and the [O] key at the same

You may use either a mouse or the keyboard to
select options in the configuration program. There
