To select from the drop-down menu, click on the function you require. A child window
with that function will then open.
Another way of accessing a function is to use a short-cut, which is a combination of
holding down Ctrl + the designated letter key. In the menu, pressing Alt + the under-
lined letter in the menu option, selects that option.

The Tool bar (see fig 3-3 ) is another standard feature of Windows ® programs and
provides short-cuts to most of the main functions in the program. In SAM, some of
these tool bar icons have a built in function for opening/closing child windows. This
means that when you click on any of these icons, the icon depresses and a child win-
dow opens. If you click the icon again, the window closes and the icon resumes its
normal appearance.
SAM has a number of tool bars for various purposes. These will be described in the
appropriate section.
