Dialog box A dialog box is a floating window that pre-
sents you with buttons and options that
allow you to make decisions and carry out
actions.
Some dialog boxes are self-dismissing; oth-
ers you must select an action button. You
can dismiss a self-dismissing dialog box any-
time by pressing Back .
Highlight This action is only applicable on your device.
All “selectable” elements can be highlighted
by rotating the wheel then stopping over the
item. Once highlighted, the element’s
appearance changes to reverse video.
In the example to the right, 3 - Janey is high-
lighted.
Keyboard short-
cuts
Keyboard shortcuts are presented in the doc-
umentation as follows:
+ K = Press the Menu button and hold
while pressing the K key.
, = Press the Menu button first, then
the Back button (in succession).
So, if two keys or buttons are separated by a
plus sign (+), you press them simultaneously
to make the action occur; if they’re sepa-
rated by a comma (,), then you press one
after the other.
Menu A floating window containing a list of actions
you can take on the screen. Press the Menu
button to open this list of actions.

box. You can only select one of the options
and do so by pressing the wheel once the
option is highlighted. (Note: Sometimes
these are called “radio buttons”.)
