Many Tandem block-mode applications use paging keys on the 6530 terminal to view
text that has scrolled off the screen. Table 1-4 shows the use of the scrollbar to
simulate the actions of the paging keys:

Simulating Function Keys In many Tandem block-mode applications, such as PS Mail, a description of the active
function keys appears somewhere on the screen; for example, they appear across the
bottom of the PS Mail main menu screen as shown in Figure 1-10.

011
To simulate a function key, place the pointer cursor on any character in the description
of that function key and click the left mouse button. For example, as shown in Figure
1-10, placing the pointer on the letter
c in the F1=Scan function description, then
clicking the left mouse button, sends an F1 key code to the Tandem host.
Some Tandem applications display active function key descriptions with a space on
either side of the equal sign, such as:
F1 = Logon
For these types of display, you must place the pointer over the function key name (F1,
F2, and so on). Nothing happens when the mouse button is clicked with the pointer
over the
= character or the word Logon because of the embedded spaces.
