    The Microsoft(R) QuickC(R) Compiler programming environment has
    a flexible windowing system. You can control the windowing system
    by using the
 
      ■ View menu
      ■ Mouse
      ■ Keyboard
 
    View Menu
 
    The fastest way to learn the power of QuickC's windowing
    system is to ask for help on each command on the View menu.
 
    To do this, select the View menu by pressing ALT+V or clicking
    it with the mouse. Use the arrow keys to move the command
    selection bar, and press F1 for help on any of the commands.
 
    Mouse and Keyboard
 
    You can also control the help window with the mouse or the
    keyboard:
