# $ Control menu box
Box containing a dash in the upper left corner of each application window.  Clicking on this box displays the standard Windows control menu containing these commands: Restore, Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize, and Close in addition to special commands of a particular application.  Double-clicking on this box exits the application.  The control menu box is also called the system menu box.
# $ Copies 
The network administrator sets the maximum number of copies of a document that you may print.  The default is 1 copy.
# $ Default

# $ Dialog box
A box of options and information that appears when you choose a command that requires more information, which you provide by filling in the dialog box.  Commands that display dialog boxes are followed by ellipses (...) on menus.
# $ Double-click
To rapidly click the left mouse button twice in quick succession.  Selects and executes in one step.  Double-clicking is often used as a shortcut for a longer procedure.
# $ Drag
To press and hold down the mouse button while moving the mouse to reposition a window.
# $ Drag-and-drop
In Windows 3.1, you can drag file icons from File Manager and drop them anywhere in Print Manager’s Connected Printers box or on a connected printer’s icon.  The dropped file will automatically be printed by the application associated with that file type in the Window’s registration database.  For example, dragging a .DOC file onto a connected printer will print that file using Word for Windows.
# $ ENTER
In a dialog box, you can press ENTER to execute the highlighted button--usually OK.  Choosing OK signifies that you are finished making choices from the dialog box; the dialog box clears from the screen and the choices become effective.
# $ ESC
Cancels the dialog box or allows you to back up through the screens.
# $ File contents 
A dialog box option that declares whether the job will consist of a Byte Stream (which includes binary information), or will contain only text.  If Text is selected, you may enter a default tab size (the number of spaces which a tab character will represent).
# $ File server
A computer that controls all network activity.  The file server controls all access to shared devices and the system security; it also monitors station-to-station communications.
# $ File Name

Valid characters include the letters A - Z and numbers 0 - 9.  Do not use spaces, periods, commas or the following symbols:  + = / \ [  ] ' ; : ? * |
# $ Focus
The focus shows where the next action will take place. In dialog boxes, the focus is indicated by a dotted underline or outline for most options or by a blinking insertion point in text boxes.
# $ Form feed
A form feed ejects a blank sheet of paper from the printer.
# $ Forms 
In a printer command, the design or shape of the printing surface, such as letter-size paper, labels, continuous-feed paper, etc.  In NetWare, a print job can be instructed to use several predefined form numbers that correspond to a form name created using Novell's PRINTDEF utility.  This option is rarely used in conjunction with Windows applications and will usually be disabled by the network administrator.
# $ Grayed
A term applied to an option that appears in a menu or dialog box but is inactive.  An option is grayed when its use is inappropriate or when the user does not have access to it.
# $ Help File
A default help file that was defined for use with a specific printer driver.  A special help file might exist to help the user understand the functions and maintenance of a given printer.

# $ Point
To move the mouse until the cursor rests on an option. The mouse cursor is usually shaped like an arrow, but it may take other shapes.
# $ Print queues
Print jobs waiting to be processed by a network's file servers and print servers are held in a print queue.  Print jobs that are placed in a queue are eventually routed to a waiting network printer.
# $ Printer driver
A printer driver is a special program that tells Windows how to communicate with a certain printer or type of printer.
# $ Printer Index
The Printer Index displays a list of all printers potentially available for use by your workstation.  The Printer Index works in either Network Printer mode or Personal Printer mode.  You can select to view either Network Printers or Personal Printers.
# $ Qview
A Print Manager feature that allows you to view all print jobs pending in a queue as well as add, hold, defer, and delete your own print jobs.
# $ Queue Operators
Individuals in a organization assigned special rights to use and manage network printers and their associated print queues.
# $ Queue users
Individuals or members of a group with permission to use a particular network print queue.  A queue user may delete or defer the printing of personal print jobs, but is not allowed to alter those of others.
# $ QuickStat
A Print Manager feature that provides information on a printer's availability and the number of jobs waiting to be printed.
# $ Radio button
In a dialog box, radio buttons let you select one option from a group.  Selecting one option deselects all of the other radio buttons.  The group is usually surrounded by a border with a title.  To select a radio button, click on it or its label. If the radio button is in focus, the spacebar will also select the option.
# $ Scroll
To move the contents of a window or list box up or down within the window or list box so you can view additional contents.
# $ Scroll bar
A bar that appears at the right and/or bottom edge of a window whose contents aren't completely visible.  Each scroll bar contains 2 scroll arrows and a scroll box, which allows you to scroll within the window or list box.
# $ Search path
Search paths specify where the file server should look for files when they are not in the current directory.  Programs are placed on search drives so they may be executed from any directory.  When you type the name of an executable file, the file server looks in the current directory for the file.  If it cannot be found, the file server continues looking for the file sequentially through the search path.
# $ Select
To mark an item by highlighting it with key combinations or by clicking it with a mouse.  Selecting does not initiate an action.  After selecting an item, you choose the action you want to affect the item.
# $ Setup
The Setup option loads the Windows printer device driver configuration screen.  Printer setups defined here are stored and re-enabled whenever a user connects to this type of printer.
# $ SHIFT plus TAB
Moves the cursor backward from option to option within a dialog box.
# $ Shortcut key
A special key sequence that bypasses the menu bar and takes you directly to a dialog box or performs a command.
# $ SPACEBAR
Toggles a selection on or off. In some cases, the spacebar can take the place of clicking a mouse button.
# $ Speed key
A speed key refers to the underlined letters that appear in the menu options and dialog boxes.  Speed keys may be defined when adding an item or subgroup to a group.  To execute an option using a speed key, type the underlined letter and press ENTER.
# $ TAB
Moves the cursor forward from option to option within a dialog box.
# $ Tab size
When printing a document to an unintelligent printer (such as a TTY or a printer/typewriter), you may decide to expand the tab characters to an equivalent number of spaces (generally 8 spaces) in order to ensure that the document prints correctly.  This is a rare case and Windows will generally accomplish this task automatically.
# $ Text box
To enter text in a text box, choose the box and type. The insertion point, a blinking vertical line, shows where the text will appear. If the text is highlighted, your typing replaces the highlighted text.
# $ Timeout
The timeout value allows you to change the number of seconds the network will wait before closing a print job and sending it to the printer.  Increasing the timeout value ensures that a complex job, which might take a long time to process, will not be prematurely closed and sent to the print queue.  
If you are using the Windows Spooler with a network printer, the timeout value is irrelevant since Windows Spooler will close the print job upon completion.
# $ Title bar
The bar at the top of a window that contains the name of the window (usually centered). You can move a window by dragging its title bar to a new location.
# $ Type
The kind of printer being used, such as "Plotter," "24-pin Matrix" or "Postscript."
# $ User hold

# $ Setup and Reset Strings
Fields used to send escape sequences that are accepted by the printer you are configuring.  The Setup String is sent to the printer prior to the print job and the Reset String is sent after the job.
# $ Shell
The application that automatically displays when you start Windows, from which you select other applications.  Examples or shells are McAfee Applications Manager and Microsoft Program Manager.
# $ Status bar
The status bar displays information about a menu's items as you scroll down the menu.  It also displays Quick Help information when you select an icon representing a group, subgroup, or item.
# $ Rights
Privileges that control whether users can assess network printers.  In Print Manager, a user has either full rights to use a particular printer -- or no rights, which means the printer does not appear in the Network Printer Index.
