How Command Menus Work

The interactive mode of the programmer is driven by

command menus that are

displayed on the top line of the screen. A command menu is a list of command
names, each of which is displayed with one highlighted letter, usually the first
character in the name. The highlighted letter is the key you use to invoke the
command. You may type command letters in upper or lower case.

When you type a valid command letter, the programmer software clears the
command line, displays the name of the selected command, and executes the
command. Most commands require additional information, in which case the
programmer either prompts for parameters or displays a submenu of com-
mands.

Figure 2–1 shows the command menu structure. This figure is provided as a
road map to the desired command(s).
