Maple Systems MAPware-100 - Manual (Page 11)

Menu Bar
The menu bar contains all of the menus that can be used to navigate through the program.
Accessing the menus is simple: either point to one with the mouse and click on it, or press and
hold the Alt key while pressing the first character in the menu name (example: F for File).
Many of the items in the menus may be accessed directly using the associated control keys as
indicated to the right of the menu item. Once the menu drops down, use the mouse or cursor
keys to point to the desired menu item, then click on the item with the mouse, or press Enter
on the keyboard to select the menu item.
Tool Bar
The tool bar contains tools, or buttons, that provide a much quicker way of performing
functions than using the pull-down menus. Some examples include cutting and pasting
screen information, saving the current project, and placing register monitors onto the screen.
Hints explaining a button’s purpose appear if the cursor is placed over a button.
