3-2 Accessories and Menus

The Status Bar

The Status Bar contains three panes. Each pane’s function is described
in the following illustration.

Menus and Shortcuts

Menus are used as entry points to do a specific action within your
application. You will sometimes find shortcuts associated to menu
entries. A shortcut is a simple way to do an action using a key or a
combination of keys. See Appendix A for a list of function and
shortcut keys.

expect a mouse is required to use the Compute Time Difference dialog
box which makes use of the drag and drop function.

in the Traffic Analyzer tool. You will find the standard main menu
functions (i.e., New, Open, Save) as well as functions specific to the
Traffic Analyzer tool.

The following sections contain a summary of all menu options and the
corresponding shortcuts.
