You can access functions for each program using hot keys, or via that program's
menus or dialogs. If a program has menus, press "Space-M" or "F2" to open the
menu. Select a menu item using "Space-1" or "Space-4", and press "Enter". Or,
you can press "Space-M or "F2" followed by the shortcut for the corresponding

In dialogs, use "Space-4-5" and "Space-1-2" or "F3" and "Space-F3" to tab and
shift-tab among controls. For the purposes of these instructions, we will generally
refer to this as "Tabbing".
