4.0 GETTING AROUND IN THE
AutoMax EXECUTIVE
Keyboard Keys
In this manual, keynames are capitalized (ESC, ENTER, CTRL). A
plus sign (+) used between two keynames indicates that those keys
must be pressed at the same time. For example, Press ALT+ESC"
means you should press the ALT key and hold it down while you
press the ESC key and release it. Then release the ALT key. A
comma between two keys indicates that those keys must be pressed
sequentially. For example, Press ALT,SPACEBAR" means you
should press the ALT key and release it; then press the SPACEBAR
and release it.
The DIRECTION keys are the four arrows on the keyboard that are
used to move the selection, pointer, or cursor on the screen. The
keys are written as UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT. When using the
keyboard, you usually use the DIRECTION keys to move the cursor.
ENTER is usually used to execute a chosen command.
Mouse Buttons
When using a mouse, you use the left mouse button for most
functions. (It is possible to swap the left and right button functions.)
To point, move the mouse until the pointer rests on what you want. To
click, press the button and release it. To clickĆandĆdrag, press the
button and hold it down while moving the mouse. To doubleĆclick,
press and release the button twice in rapid succession.
4.1 Making Selections
A basic concept in the Programming Executive is that you must first
select an item before you can perform an operation. For example,
you select a window and then work in it, or you select an item, e.g.,
an application task, and then do something to it, e.g., delete it.
4.2 Directory Structure
The library is the base directory under which all the AutoMax systems
are stored. The default drive and library name are specified as part of
the Setup procedure for the AutoMax Executive software. If you want
to create a new library or change the default (selected) library or
drive, you must use Setup. See section 5.5.2 for more information.
The system database files are stored as follows:
d:\library\system
where:
d is the disk drive
library is the name of the library
system is the name of the system
The system database files define the system and the sections, racks,
and networkĆwide variables in the system. The \system subdirectory
includes the documentation files for the system and for the sections
and racks within the system.
