Header
When the TNC is on, the selected operating modes are shown in 
the screen header: the machining mode at the left and the 
programming mode at right. The currently active mode is 
displayed in the larger box, where the dialog prompts and TNC 
messages also appear (unless the TNC is showing only graphics).

Soft keys
In the footer the TNC indicates additional functions in a soft-key 
row. You can select these functions by pressing the keys 
immediately below them. The lines immediately above the soft-
key row indicate the number of soft-key rows that can be called 
with the black arrow keys to the right and left. The active soft-key 
row is indicated by brightened bar.
