SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION

F7 (Menu) Main-Prog-Text-Menu

The F7 (Menu) key will display a list of all text programs currently in the parts directory. By

using the F7 - F10 keys, file selection arrows are positioned at the program to edit, and the F5

(Enter) key is pressed to make a selection. See Section 4 for information on changing drives and

paths to other text programs.

The edit window will appear displaying the first 16 programs. To select one of the programs

listed in the window, use the arrow and page keys to move the cursor to the desired program and

press F5 (Enter) – or Enter – on the keyboard. The Menu function can be called from other

screens but works the same way from all. When called from the Verify screen, the selected

program becomes the active program being edited. F1(Verf) will graphically verify the part the

cursor is on. The graph shown will be for a 0 diameter tool. F6(Togle) will display the file size,

last time and date it was edited, and seven characters for the file name. Subdirectories are

specified by <DIR> as the file name. The ".." specifies the parent to the current directory. If you

press the HELP(Drive) key, a list of the available drives is displayed.

Note: The file name consists of the characters included in parentheses. If there are no

parentheses on the first block, the name is the first block.

Pressing the “D” key toggles the menu to and from full DOS names. Pressing the “N” key

toggles sorting by file name or file description.

Regardless of which selection mode (Edit, New, Old, Any, or Menu) is used, whenever the edit

window is displayed, the number of the text program being edited will be shown in the active

window.
