NMS Windows Conventions
A
NMS Windows Conventions Overview
This appendix contains descriptions of common window conventions used by the
NMS. Most of these conventions are also common to Microsoft Windows.
The software conventions described in this appendix are the ones used in many
of the NMS procedures contained in this manual. For concepts not covered here,
refer to either your Windows user’s guide, or to other chapters in this manual.
Online Help
NMS offers the same features and capabilities as Windows Online Help, such as
an index, browse buttons, searching, and the ability to jump to other topics in the
Help text.
NMS Online Help is structured to give information in layers of detail; you decide
whether to limit yourself to the current information or to access additional
information.
Additional Online Help information is flagged in two ways:
The text is underlined and shown in color (default = green).
The mouse pointer changes from an arrow to a hand.
When you click on the flagged text, the system either jumps to a new window with
information about the underlined text, or it displays a drop-down box containing a
note or definition.
Each NMS application has its own Help menu. Choose commands from the Help
menu to access a range of topics about the specific NMS application.
Accessing Online Help
To access Online Help, either press F1 to access the application’s Help Index, or
select the Help command from the application’s menu bar.
