Key Press Conventions

The Program Editor and the Map Editor

The Program Editor and the Map Editor follow the conventions for Windows 95 and Windows NT programs.

<Esc> quits a dialog without saving any changes and is equivalent to clicking on the Cancel button.

<←>, <→>, <­> and <↓> keys move the cursor through the options

The Program Compiler and the Interpreter

The Program Compiler and the Interpreter follow the DP4 conventions:

<←>, <→>, <­> and <↓> keys move the cursor one field at a time

<Enter> selects an item in the list

Selecting from menus

<Enter> selects the highlighted menu option

mnemonics select the corresponding menu options
