HP ALLBASE/BRW Reference Manual

Using Softkeys 

Eight labels (softkeys), displayed at the bottom of all HP ALLBASE/BRW
screens, indicate the functions that you can access from the screen.  The
softkeys correspond to the eight function keys on the terminal keyboard,
f1 to f8.  Softkeys are indicated in this manual by a shaded rectangle
(for instance, Define Table).  These softkeys correspond to the terminal
funtion keys as shown below:


            


NOTE  To select a function, this manuals asks you to "Choose softkey."
      That means you need to press the corresponding function key on the
      terminal keyboard.


A blank softkey means that the function key associated with that softkey
has no function for the current screen.

The other keys Softkey 

Some HP ALLBASE/BRW screens have more than one set of softkeys (for
example, the Define Lines screen has four sets).  When there are other
sets of softkeys for the same screen, the other keys softkey is available
so you can switch between the sets.

To access other keys 

   1.  Choose other keys.

       The next set of softkeys appears.

   2.  Choose other keys again to display additional sets of softkeys or
       return to the first set.
