HOW THE MENUS WORK
1. Press the Alt key followed by the first letter of the menu you
want. For example, to display the Print Menu, press Alt-P; to
display the Display Menu, press Alt-D.
2. Press the F10 key. This will display the File Menu. You can
choose an option from the File Menu in two ways:
a) You can point to the option you want with the up and down
arrow keys and then press Enter.
b) You can press the first letter of the option you want.
To use menus other than the File Menu, press the left and right
arrow keys to move to a different menu. This is also a good way
to familiarize yourself with all the different menu choices
available.
Remember:
YOU CAN ALWAYS PRESS THE ESC KEY TO CANCEL WHAT YOU ARE
CURRENTLY DOING.
If you are in a menu, pressing the Esc key will cancel that
menu.
3. Press the appropriate shortcut keystroke and bypass the menus
entirely. A single keystroke, enclosed within parentheses, is
listed to the right of many menu options; press this to choose
the corresponding option. For example, to the right of the
first option on the Edit Menu, Find String, you'll see (^F).
This means that you can press ^F (Ctrl-F) to immediately execute
the Find String option without using the menus at all.
This method is designed for advanced users who want to speed up
the operation of PC-OUTLINE. You will notice that every menu
option does not have a shortcut keystroke listed. This is
because there is a limited number of shortcut keystroke
combinations available. If you want some menu options to have
shortcut keystrokes that don't already have them, or if you want
to change some of the existing shortcuts, you can define your
own shortcut keystrokes with the Key Definition option on the
Advanced Menu. There is more about this option in the printed
manual.
4. Try these methods now, and, remember, if you get stuck, press
Esc.
