Standard and Message Edit toolbars
Two toolbars are located at the top of the application window. Tools
provide easy access to commonly used commands. Instead of
opening a menu and choosing a command, simply click a tool to
carry out an action. Some tools complete the action immediately;
others open a dialog or a menu for further input.
Note: Tools on a toolbar can be accessed only with a mouse. All
toolbar commands are available on one of the menus or in the
Applications area.

Note: Appendix B lists all the available tools and briefly explains
what each one does.
