The remainder of this appendix shows the softkey tree. This tree illustrates
the entire softkey layout on the control in an easy-to-use flow-chart type
format. This flow chart has been drawn to have no 4-way intersections (no
4 lines connected at any one point). If you see what appears to be a 4-way
intersection, it is really only a crossover point for lines that do not
intersect.
