Short-Cut keys

Short-Cut keys:

You can use shortcut keys to jump to an item in a list box 
instead of using the arrow keys.  Simply type the first letter
of the item's name. If one of the selections was Microsoft
Windows 3.1 for example, and it was the tenth selection down
all you would have to do is type "M" and it would jump to it. If
there was another selection before it starting with a "M" then it
would go to it first.  Just press "M" again and it will jump to the
next selection with "M" as its first letter.  Continue doing this 
until you reach the selection you want.

    file or its "Config.sys" file or the "Properties" of the program. You can
    edit the last Drivers autoexec.bat or config.sys files, these are the last
    program drivers that where loaded and could be considered the current drivers
    on the system.  You can delete program drivers also but be careful because
    DRIVERS will delete the autoexec.bat and config.sys files too. Just select 
    the button with the function you want to perform.

    Autoexec.bat/Config.sys:

    A.  First, you must pick the program you want to edit by using the arrow
        keys to position the cursor on the program name.  When the cusor bar 
        is on the program name you can either use the mouse to pick the button 
        with the function you wish to do or use the "TAB" key to tab to the button 
        and then press "Enter".

    B.  If you want to edit the autoexec.bat or config.sys file then a
        new window will pop up called Autoexec.bat or Config.sys for ???, which
        is the program name for the file that you choose to edit. When it comes
        up it will have the contents of the file you chose to edit on the screen.
        If it is the wrong file and you wanted the other file or you just want
        to look at the contents of the other file then press the ??? button
        at the bottom of the window. The name of the button will be "Open ???
        file " which is the name of the other file. If you forget which file you are"
        editing, refer to the name of the window--it will tell you which
        file you are editing. Will editing the file there is [Cut and Paste] functions
        that you can use to copy text from one file to the next.  To [CUT] the text
        use your mouse to highlight the text and then press Ctrl-C, this will put
        the contents of the highlighted text in the buffer.  Next put the cusor where
        you want to copy the text and then press Ctrl-V to [PASTE] the contents to
        that spot.

    C.  Next, you should save the file if you made changes.  You can use your mouse
        to pick the "Save" button or use the "TAB" key to tab to the button and
        press the "Enter" key.  If you make changes and then try to [Cancel] or [Open
        the other file] without saving then changes then DRIVERS will alert you to
        the fact and ask you if you want to save the changes.  If you pick [Save] then
        it will save the changes, if you pick [Cancel] then it will loose the changes 
        and do the function that you requested.
