Help/Message Line
The Powermonitor Software system provides a HELP/MESSAGE line at the
bottom of every screen, which serves two important purposes:
a. While any menu or screen is being displayed, a HELP line is
shown at the bottom indicating which keyboard keys are active on
the present screen. (Note: A quick keyboard reference for the
Powermonitor Software system is also given in Appendix D).
b. A MESSAGE line is used to display system status messages to the
operator. Examples of system status messages include password
prompts, modem connection status messages and system error
messages.
