The Esc key is very important in PC-Type. It's principal function is
to move the cursor between the Text Area (what you are reading) and the
Command Line. Press Esc a few times to see how the cursor moves.
Help is sensitive to the operation you are performing. With the cursor
in the Text Area, Help consists of a number of screens which may be
toggled with the PgUp or PgDn key. To exit HELP, you also press the
Esc key. Move the cursor to the Text area if it is on the Command Line
and press F1, PgDn a few times, and then Esc.
Now press Esc again to move the cursor to the Command Line and press F1
again, followed by Esc. As you can see, the HELP provided is
different. If you are sorting, using the Configuration windows, etc.,
HELP is always an F1 away.
One last thing: with the cursor on the Command Line, press the UP arrow
key, then the down arrow key. (You can get out of the Command Line
with a number of strokes besides Esc, but Esc is the only way in!
Now press F4 to exit (if you are asked "Are you sure?", press Y).
