Exiting Overlays
There are two ways to leave an overlay: you can close the overlay saving
changes you have made or close the overlay discarding any changes. To leave the
overlay and save the changes, point the mouse at the F8: EXIT & SAVE function
key legend and press the left button; alternately, you can press function key F8
on the keyboard.
To leave the overlay without saving any changes, select F1: CANCEL &
ESCAPE, or press function key F1. You will be prompted to confirm your action
so you do not accidentally lose any of your changes. Press the Return key to
confirm your actions; the overlay closes and any changes you made are
discarded. Press the Esc (Escape) key to abort the close operation.
There may be some exceptions on what changes are saved or discarded when you
exit the overlays. If you are unsure of the changes and actions for leaving
specific overlays, refer to the discussion of the specific overlays in the Reference
chapter of this manual.
On-Screen Buttons
Notice the two rows of on-screen buttons at the bottom of the menu. These same
buttons appear at the bottom of every menu. These buttons are activated by
pointing the mouse and pressing the left button. Figure 2–9 shows the on-screen
buttons as they appear at the bottom of each menu. Table 2–2 lists the on-screen
buttons and their functions.
