The dial icon is mainly used to create a voice call.

Note that if you have set STFax Pro to automatically answer any incoming phone call within, say, two rings you might find that manually answering an incoming call cannot be achieved after the automatic pickup.


Print Icon Print any highlighted fax or BBS message.


Remove Icon Remove a fax from a list, a message from a voice mailbox, a file from a BBS list or a message within a BBS group.


3.3 Bubble Help

STFax utilise the excellent MUI bubble help feature. If you hold your mouse pointer stationary over certain gadgets, after a few moments a speech bubble will present a short statement of the function of that gadget.

You can control the use of the bubble help within MUI prefs. Within MUI prefs goto the "System" option and then alter the sliders to suit your needs. You can switch off the bubble help by moving both sliders to the left so they are set to zero.
