Text boxes are used to enter information such as file names, etc. In empty text
boxes, the insertion point appears at the far left-hand side. If the box already
contains text, the text is selected and is automatically overwritten by newly
entered text.
You can access a text box in the following way:
• Press the EDIT key until the desired text box is selected.
If the text box has been assigned a HOTKEY (underlined letter), you can use
the HOTKEY to select the box.
You can delete existing text in a text box using the CANCEL or CLEAR key.
List boxes contain a list of selection options. If more options appear in the list
than can be displayed in the box at one time, scroll bars are displayed at the
edge of the list box.
