Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

                ▲
                └─── Help line for selected menu or command.
 
     To open a menu, press ALT plus the first letter of the menu. To
     close an open menu, press ESC.
 
     An "access key" is the highlighted letter in the menu. Press the
     corresponding key to activate the command.
 
     When a menu is open, the "selection cursor" (the highlighted bar)
     indicates the current item. To move the selection cursor, press
     the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT arrow keys. To activate the selected
     command, press ENTER. To see Help on the selected command, press
     the F1 key.
 
     A command with a small right-pointing arrow (→) opens a "cascaded"
     menu or "submenu." To open a cascaded menu using the keyboard,
     press the command's access key or move the selection cursor to the
     command and press the RIGHT arrow key. To close an open submenu,
     press the LEFT arrow key.
 
     To execute a command without opening the menu, press the command's
     shortcut key. Most menu commands execute a PWB macro or function.
     To assign a shortcut key to a command, assign the menu's macro to
     the key. To find the macro for a command, see Help for that
     command.
