Using Keys and Getting Help
Because these menus appear on the client and not on the admin system , the menus are provided in a form
viewable on ASCII terminals . The use of the mouse is not available. Most keyboards will support arrow
keys while others do not. Also, some keyboards have page up and page down keys, help keys, etc, that
others do not. For this reason, there is a variety of methods which may be used to traverse the menus and
options in the installation screens:
•
To move between fields, use the Up-arrow and Down-arrow keys on the keyboard.
•
To make a selection, press the Enter key, and
•
To return to a previous screen, use the F3 or ESC (escape) key
•
For pop-up lists, help screens and other messages, you may use the arrow keys to move up and
down the list or to scroll the text. You may also use the Page-up and Page-down keys, if
available, or use CTRL-N for ‘next page’ and CTRL-P for ‘previous page’ if not.
Help Windows: The F1 or “!” key (shift/1) may be pressed at any field or menu item to obtain help
instructions, detailing the use and options for the corresponding item. A help window will appear in the
center of the screen, as shown in the following example:
If the help information is lengthy for a particular option, it may be necessary to page the message using the
page or control keys described above. To remove the help window and return to the previous entry, press
the F3 or ESC key.
Pop-up List Options: Pop-up lists are available for many entry options. When supported, “List=F4/$” will
appear at the bottom of the screen. At that field, you may press the F4 or “$” key (shift/4) to list the
available options for the corresponding field and select an option from the list. To select an option, use the
arrow keys to highlight the desired option and press Enter. The selected option will be placed in the entry
field and the pop-up window will disappear.
