Notice that

Coin

is preceded by a “

” symbol whereas the

other programs have a “” symbol. The “” symbol means a
program has not been modified, whereas a “

” symbol indicates

changes have been made. At any time you can easily restore a
program to its factory settings; this is covered in Chapter 7.

is a live action and can be a little sluggish if you are trying to
scroll from Coin down to Hi-Pro. Press

to bring up the

non-live menu which is much faster to scroll through.
