3 Starting the Software
To start the DTU3005 Editor software, follow these
steps:
1. If you are running Windows 3.1, double click the
MS-DOS Prompt
icon in the Main window of Pro-
gram Manager. For Windows 95/98, select MS-
DOS Prompt
from the Start menu.
2. At the DOS prompt, which is usually C:\> (or
C:\WINDOWS> if you are running a DOS prompt
from Windows) type CD \DTU3005B , where
DTU3005B is the directory where the Editor soft-
ware is installed. Press Enter.
3. At the new DOS prompt (which is C:\DTU3005B>
if you installed the program to the suggested
directory), type
DTU3005 and then press Enter.
4. The DTU3005 Editor software starts. An informa-
tion screen appears as shown below.
5. Press Enter or Esc to close this information
screen and start using the program.
3.1 Menu Navigation
Navigation of the program menus and dialog boxes
can be performed with either the keyboard or a
mouse. The Editor software uses the standard menu
and dialog box user interface used by many other
DOS and Windows programs. The mouse can be used
to make menu selections, highlight and select items in
a dialog box, and perform commands by clicking on
dialog box buttons. Keyboard equivalents to mouse
actions are described in Table 3.1 below. Informational
messages are displayed on the bottom line of the
screen to give you help with keyboard navigation.
Note: To use a mouse in DOS, be sure the mouse
driver is loaded before starting the Editor
software. This is usually done automatically
from a command in the CONFIG.SYS or
AUTOEXEC.BAT startup files, or if you are
running the program from Windows, by
Windows itself. For information on how to
load a mouse driver, refer to the instruc-
tions included with your mouse.
