return to the next higher command menu level, press this function key. For ex-

3.3 What Happens If I Make an Error
If an error occurs, the programmer software displays an error message on the
bottom line of the screen and prompts you to
hit any key to escape from the
error state. You can type any key, including
, on the keyboard. The mes-
sage is then cleared, and the function key line is redisplayed.
If the error was caused by an input to a prompt, the programmer software re-
turns to the prompt to let you re-enter a value. Otherwise, the software returns
to the next higher command menu.
