1.2 Notation Conventions
Window titles, menu items, and the labels on keys and pushbuttons are shown in bold UPPER CASE type.
Text that the user types in, computer responses, and example text are shown in constant width type.
The term pushbutton refers to video buttons with a three-dimensional appearance; selecting such buttons
via the cursor positioning device (mouse or trackball) or keyboard causes them to appear "pushed in".
Many of the windows which appear on the 53MT6000 system contain buttons labelled OK, CANCEL and
CLOSE. The OK button is used to save data and close the window in which it appears. The CANCEL but-
ton is used when data is not to be saved, and the current window closed. The CLOSE button is used when
there is no data to be saved, and the current window is to be closed (except in the case of dialog pop-up
windows, which are closed using an OK button).
