AT&T UNIX - Entering Commands

Selecting Objects and Entering Commands
Entering Commands
Once you have selected the objects you want, you enter
a command that specifies what you want to do with the
objects. You can enter commands in three ways:
o Display the Commands menu and select the
command you want from the menu.
o Use the screen keys.
o Use the action keys.
Each of these three methods is discussed separately
below. A fourth way of entering commands is discussed
in "Advanced Command Entry" later in this section.
Using the Commands Menu
The Commands menu lists all the commands available for
the active window. Because all commands are not
applicable to each particular object or application,
the Commands menu does not always list the same
commands. For example, the Commands menu displayed
when the Filecabinet is open contains seven commands--
Copy, Delete, Move, Organize, Paste, Print, and Rename
commands--that are not included in the Office Commands
menu.
To use the Commands menu, you point to an object (a
folder or file, for example), display the Commands
menu, and then select a command to perform on the
highlighted object.
Displaying the Commands Menu
You can display the Commands menu by pressing the B2
mouse button or by pressing the Cmd key, which is
located above and to the right of the Enter key.
To display the Commands menu:
o Press <B2> or <Cmd>.
