These are selection keys that perform the same
Local Management function. For example, “Press
ENTER” means that you can press either ENTER
or RETURN, unless this manual specifically
instructs you otherwise.

This key allows an escape from a Local
Management screen without saving changes. For
example, “Press ESC twice” means the ESC key
must be pressed quickly two times.

These keys cycle through selections in some Local
Management fields. Use the SPACE bar to cycle

whichever arrow key moves the cursor to the
desired field on the Local Management screen.
