The menu bar is present at the top of the main selections.
Press the up-arrow and down-arrow keys to move between fields on each screen. The
currently-selected field will be highlighted.
Certain fields ask you to select from a list of entries. In such cases, press the right-arrow
or left arrow key repeatedly to change the entries.
Small arrow points (

key on a submenu, the previous screen displays.
