User Interface
Types of Windows
Windows can be grouped into three types, based on the kind of information they
contain and the way that it is presented. However, there are differences in the
way you maneuver through a form window compared to the way you move
through a menu window.
The three window types are menu, text, and form.
Menu windows
contain sets of items, one of which you choose. To
choose an item, select it and then press
Enter
. There are typically two
ways to select an item:
— Use your keyboard’s cursor movement keys to move the select bar.
— Type the first character(s) of the item.
Text windows
provide you with information or instructions too long to fit in
the message line near the bottom of the screen.
Form windows
are used widely throughout FAX Attendant. They are
similar to paper forms and provide assorted information, all related to a
single subject. The typical form contains prompts describing the
information to be provided, and ‘‘blanks’’ where the information is to be
filled in.
On-line Help
Most windows have a companion text window available that contains helpful
reference information. FAX Attendant help windows are not designed to be a
substitute for any of the documentation that accompanies the system. They
indicate your activity options for a given window and briefly describe each of the
options.
Moving Within a Window

windows. The following information reviews the different ways to move about in
