Software RFQ forms)
F4 - function key 4 = TOP MENU (move to top menu or group, useful when several

keys - the keys: display at the bottom of the screen will always show the
active keys for a given screen; when in the Star Menu main screen, the
up and down arrow keys (cursor movement keys), page up and page down
keys, keyboard keys A thru O (hotkeys), and the mouse (if present with
driver) are all active and can be used to select a program or command
to execute, or a sub-group to go to. NOTE: the Scroll Lock key found on
some keyboards should not be lit to ensure proper operation of the keys
within Star Menu.

Reboot - select reboot option for boot files; manual reboot using CTRL+ALT+DEL

offered since many ram resident virus checking programs get very upset
with software which tries to reboot the computer; if using a ram-
resident virus checker use the manual reboot option. Also, some hard
disk caching programs must empty their caches/buffers before allowing
a reboot; use the manual reboot option if using these programs as well.
