Dialog box
A dialog box is a floating window that
presents you with buttons and options that
allow you to make decisions and carry out
actions.
Highlight
This action is only applicable on your device.
All “selectable” elements can be highlighted
by rotating the wheel then stopping over the
item. Once highlighted, the element’s
appearance changes to reverse video.
In the example to the right, 3 - Janey is
highlighted.

separated by a comma (

one after the other.
