shown preceding the desired option or the character preceding the desired menu item.
The list of options varies, depending on what menu is displayed; all the options are
described below. (Function key equivalents on an async terminal keypad are listed on
page 1-19.)
F1: Select Another Record
—displays the first prompt that appeared on your screen
after you made your menu selection, so you can specify another record.
F2: Next Record

modification, or deletion.
Remote Refresh
—refreshes a remote display.

Changes will affect only the set that was enabled, unless
[F7]

first to update the other side.
Database
and
System Memory
values are
described on page 3-8 for Node Defaults and page 5-4 for Ports.

1-8). To return to the menu, you must enter the node's password. (This feature is
for security, to protect menu-level operations from unauthorized access.)
