information
on
how a function key operates within that program.
Start
Pressing the [Start] key generally starts the operation of a
game or program.
Select
Pressing the [Select] key generally selects a particular part of
a program or game for operation. For
example, when conduct-
i
ng
the
XE
's diagnostic tests (described later
in
this chapter),
you use
[Select] to choose which test to
run
. [Select] may also
be
used to select a game variation . For example,
in
Missile
Command you use [Select] to select the number of players.
Option
Pressing the [Option] key generally selects a program option.
For
example,
in
Missile Command
you
use the [Option] key to
turn the
BONUS game option
on
and off.
Reset
Pressing the [Reset] key generally stops a program
in
progress
and returns
you
to the program's opening screen. This function
is
similar to turning the
XE
system off and
on
, except that the
program you '
re
using remains
on
screen.
