MagicQ User Manual 28 / 355
When a window button is pressed, that window becomes the active window. The active window is on the top of the screen and is
easily identified as the window with the highlighted title bar at the top. It is also the window with the cursor in it.
An item in a window can be selected either
1. By pressing the touch screen over the appropriate part of the window
2. By moving the cursor to the appropriate position and pressing the ENTER button.
3. By moving the mouse to the position and pressing the left mouse button.
The cursor can be moved around the active window using the cursor keys in the Editor area of the console or via the cursor
keys on the keyboard. PG UP, PG DN, PG LEFT and PG RIGHT can be used to scroll the window in the appropriate direction.
HOME and END can be used to get to the start and end of the window respectively.
Towards the bottom of the touch screen are two small windows, the Status Display and the Input Display. The Status Display
shows the current date and time, the ADD / SWAP status of the console and other relevant status information.

After a command has been entered it also confirms that the command has been accepted and shows any error messages when a
command is not possible.
