applications.
The second level of Help commands provides help on the NMS commands
displayed in the menu bar.
The third level of Help commands provides information about using Help (Using
Help) or displays the current version of NMS (About).
Select a command from the Help menu to access a Help window.
Scrolling
In addition to the normal Windows scrolling range fields, NMS uses scrolling for
the Date and Time. To prevent invalid entries, the scrolling function presents only
valid dates, times, or ranges.
Date Field
The scrolling Date field is used for all applications where you can enter a date
value. An example of a scrolling Date field is shown (in U.S. format) below.
Using either the mouse or the keyboard, you can scroll through the month, day,
and/or year to make your date selection.
