5.3.2 The status line
The status line appears at the bottom of the screen. It
• reminds you of basic keystrokes and shortcuts (or hot keys) applicable at that moment in
the active window.
• lets you click the shortcuts to carry out the action instead of choosing the command from
the menu or pressing the shortcut keystroke.
• offers one-line hints on any selected menu command and dialog box items.
• tells you how much memory is currently available
The status line changes as you switch windows or activities. One of the most common status
lines is the one you see when you are browsing a log file, or logging data. When you've
selected a menu title or command, the status line changes to display a one-line summary of
the function of the selected item.

dialog box . Dialog boxes offer a con-
venient way to view and set multiple options. When you are making settings in dialog boxes,

boxes, input boxes, and list boxes. Here is a sample dialog box that illustrates some of these
