HOW TO USE THIS SYSTEM
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
KEY ACTION
|
|
--- ------
|
|
UP ARROW Move to previous item (or up, in a text field).
|
|
DOWN ARROW Move to next item (or down, in a text field).
|
|
TAB Move to next item or group.
|
|
RIGHT ARROW Move to next item or group (same as TAB).
|
|
SHIFT-TAB Move to previous item or group.
|
|
LEFT ARROW Move to previous item or group (same as SHIFT-TAB).
|
|
RETURN Select item.
|
|
ESC Spawn a sub-shell for diagnostic purposes. Exit returns.
|
|
PAGE UP In text boxes, scrolls up one page.
|
|
PAGE DOWN In text boxes, scrolls down one page.
|
|
SPACE In "radio" or multiple choice menus, toggle the current item.
|
|
F1 Help (in screens that provide it).
|
|
|
|
If you also see small "^(-)" or "v(+)" symbols at the edges of a menu,
|
|
it means that there are more items above or below the current one that
|
|
aren't being shown (due to insufficient screen space). Using the
|
|
up/down arrow keys will cause the menu to scroll. When a symbol
|
|
disappears, it means you are at the top (or bottom) of the menu.
|
|
|
|
In text fields, the amount of text remaining will be displayed as a
|
|
percentage in the lower right corner. 100% means you're at the bottom
|
|
of the field.
|
|
|
|
Selecting OK in a menu will confirm whatever action it's controlling.
|
|
Selecting Cancel will cancel the operation and generally return you to
|
|
the previous menu.
|
|
|

|
SPECIAL FEATURES:
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to select a menu item by typing the first
|
|
character of its name, if unique. Such "accellerator" characters will
|
|
be specially highlighted in the item name.
|
|
|
|
The console driver also contains a scroll-back buffer for reviewing
|
|
things that may have scrolled off the screen. To use scroll-back,
|
|
press the "Scroll Lock" key on your keyboard and use the arrow or
|
|
Page Up/Page Down keys to move through the saved text. To leave
|
|
scroll-back mode, press the Scroll Lock key again. This feature
|
|
is most useful for dealing with sub-shells or other "wizard modes"
|
|
that don't use menus.
