Working with the GUI
You can access features of the GUI using the mouse or keyboard:
•
Mouse − Click once to choose menu items and buttons or to select items in a list, such
as the Available Tasks list. To run a list item, such as one of from the Available Tasks
list, select the item and click OK or double-click the item.
•
Keyboard − Use the tab and arrow keys to highlight buttons and press the spacebar
or <Enter> to execute. You can also execute a menu or button by using the <Alt> key
in combination with the underlined letter in the name of the menu or button.
You can have more than one task open at the same time, although some tasks might require
complete control to avoid possible conflicts. The tasks achieve complete control by keeping
the task as the center of operation until you close the task window.
The SSU has a build-in help system, which you access by clicking a Help button or choosing
the Help menu.
Customizing the SSU Interface
The SSU lets you customize your interface using the Preferences section of the main window.
The AF sets these preferences and saves them in the AF.INI file so that they take effect the
next time you start the SSU. There are four user customizable settings:
•
Color − lets you change the default colors associated with different items on the
screen using predefined color combinations. The color changes take effect imme-
diately.
•
Mode − lets you set the desired expertise level: novice, intermediate, or expert.
The expertise level determines which tasks are visible in the Available Tasks section and
which actions each task performs. For a new mode setting to take effect, you must exit the
SSU and restart it.
•
Language − lets you change the text in the SSU to the appropriate language. For a
new language setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and restart it.
•
Other − lets you show or hide the status bar at the bottom of the SSU main
The change takes effect immediately.
NOTE
If you run the SSU from read-only media (CD-ROM, for example), these preferences are lost
when you exit the SSU.
