To identify the parts of a screen 

Each HP Easytime/iX screen contains the following:

title bar             A horizontal bar that is located at the top of each
                      screen and contains the name of the screen.

menu bar              A horizontal bar located directly below the title
                      bar containing the names of the HP Easytime/iX
                      menus.

status line           The third line on your screen (directly below the
                      menu bar).  The status line displays messages from
                      the system that tell you when you need to do
                      something, for example, load a form in the printer.
                      The status line also displays the time the screen
                      was last updated.

                      list of available files on the system.

message line          The bottom line on your screen.  Information about
                      what is happening on the system is displayed here.

function keys         Along the top of the keyboard are eight keys
                      labeled F1 through F8.  These function keys
                      correspond to the eight function key labels along
                      the bottom of each HP Easytime/iX screen.
