System Event Log Menu
The System Event Log Menu allows you to view System Event Log (SEL) 
messages and to clear the log messages. Press <Enter> to display the System 
Event Log Menu. The system counts the log entries and then displays the 
total number of records and the most recent message. The SEL retains a 
maximum of 512 messages.
To view SEL messages, select View System Event Log and press <Enter>. 
Use <Left Arrow> to move to the previous (older) message and 
<Right Arrow> to move to the next (newer) message. Enter a record number 
to jump to that record. Press <Esc> when you are through viewing SEL 
messages.
To clear the SEL, select Clear the System Event Log and press <Enter>. 
When you have finished with the SEL menu, press <Esc> to return to the 
previous menu.
