3–12 Getting Started with ODS
Publication MCD-5.1 -August 1999
If you make a mistake while entering a file name, selecting an
option, or performing some other task, ODS displays a message
giving information on the situation. On color monitors, these
messages appear in red boxes.
Press [ ALT-H ] to request on-line help if you need more information
about an error message.
If you decide to discontinue an operation in ODS, pressing the [ ESC ]
key usually cancels the operation. In most cases, pressing [ ESC ]
returns you to the previous screen.
You can exit ODS and return to DOS by following this procedure:
1. Display the top level screen.
2. Pull down the F1-File menu and select the Exit to DOS option.
•
The computer clears the screen and displays the DOS prompt.
•
ODS saves the names of the last active project and
application, and automatically activates them the next time
you start ODS.
Chapter 4 tells you how to configure the ODS software.
