choices. Each time the Spacebar is pressed, a new item appears. When the
item you wish to choose is displayed, press the "Esc" key to save it.
Fields enclosed in parentheses ( ) are manipulated by one of the following
two methods. The first is to press the "Enter" key to simply execute the
function. The most common type of field in parentheses accepts typed input
in the form of letters and/or numbers. Typing characters when the field is
highlighted causes the current entry to be replaced by the new characters. To
edit an existing entry rather than replace it, press the right arrow key to move
the cursor to the point that needs editing. You may insert characters or delete
them. Typed data must always be inserted rather than typed over. If the field
is full, you must first delete at least one character before you can add another.
NOTICE:
The VT100 screens are automatically refreshed every 5 seconds.
However, you may also press Ctrl+U to refresh data on any screen.
The Main Menu screen (shown in Figure 4.2) lists the functional user-
accessible menus. To activate a specific menu, tab to it (or use your arrow
keys) and press "Enter." To exit this or any subsequent menu, press the "Esc"
key. If you exit the Main menu, the terminal interface program terminates.
This is a valid way to end a session. When you exit any menu other than the
Main menu, you will be returned to the previous screen.

CAUTION:
If you do not enter a keystroke for 10 minutes, the terminal interface
logs off automatically.
