Getting Help
At certain points in the program, you may pop-up a help window by pressing the ? (question
mark) key. The help window provides information about the input field where help was
requested. After reading the help window, press the
ESC
key to remove the window from the
screen and return to the field or menu you were working on.
The ESC Key
Pressing the
ESC
key returns you from just about every window. Pressing
ESC
from a menu
returns you to the previous menu until the MAIN menu is displayed. The
ESC
key is also
used to cancel in-progress functions such as printing. If you ever panic or get stuck in the
program, just press the
ESC key until you return to the MAIN menu.
