Selecting a Menu Option by Typing or Highlighting the Operation Name
If your keyboard mapping does not correspond to the key designations on the menu, or if for some other reason the function keys do not work, you can use the following alternative keyboard procedure.
To select an operation from the menu by typing or highlighting the operation name
1. Move the cursor to the menu by pressing the Menu key.
2. Do one of the following:
Type as many letters as necessary to make the operation name unique. For example, if both the End and Edit operations appear on a menu, you must type ed to use the Edit operation or en to use the End operation.
Windows: In a Windows environment, press the arrow keys or Space Bar to move the Input focus bar to your selection, or type the capitalized letter of the desired operation. For example, type C for the Create operation.
3. Press Return.
