Accessing pop-up menus
The various screens have pop-up menus associated with them. The
pop-up menus list options available to you. Access a pop-up menu by
pressing its associated function key listed at the bottom of the menu.
Function keys, sometimes called soft keys, operate as toggles. The
key that selects the function is the same key that deselects that func-
tion.
Paging through a screen or menu
In some instances, a menu may have many options from which you se-
lect. Use the following commands to move to the top or bottom of the
menu or screen:
• 0-PgUp (or Up arrow) - to page to the top of the menu
• 0-PgDn (or Down arrow) - to page to the bottom of the menu
Selecting a menu item
To select a menu item in the Text interface, you may highlight the op-
tion using the up/down arrow keys. Or, you may type the number of
the option and press the <Enter> key.
Control commands
There are several control commands you can use at terminals using the
Text interface. These commands are:
• Ctrl-R - redraws a screen (only in full-screen modes)
• Ctrl-T - allows you to select a new terminal type (only in full-
screen modes and applies to either text interface)
The role of the input/output line
The input/output line at the bottom of the screen displays error mes-
sages and anything typed. You can easily correct typing mistakes on
the input/output line by using the <Backspace> and other keys just as
you would while typing. Your input is not accepted by the system until
you press <Enter>.
PF keys and commands
The PF keys associated with a command are listed on the lower por-
tion of the appropriate screen. Procedures in this guide provide the
name of the function key. The screens in this guide show examples of
PF keys with associated commands. The actual PF number is depen-
dent on the type of terminal and emulation mode being used. Refer to
the program screen for the actual function key to press to select the de-
sired command.
