3.3 Definition and functions for start softkeys
This means that until the first dialog call is made - in other words, the time at which full
functionality becomes available (e.g. execution of PRESS blocks) - menus or softkey menus
can only be replaced by others in their entirety.
Template for configuration of the start softkey
A detailed description of all permissible positions for start softkeys and their configuration is
located in the easyscreen.ini file in the following directory:
[System SIEMENS directory] /cfg
This file is used as a template for your own configuration of the start softkey.
