When a command is processed, any additional information required is
prompted for, and if the prompt has an associated menu then the new menu
will be displayed with the prompt.
Menus are only changed when it is necessary to assist and prompt the user
in the selection of commands, actions, or items. The user can specify and
carry out a complete command without affecting the currently-selected
menu.
4.2.3 Using Menus
Menus are available as a general prompting aid. The information
displayed in a menu can be either static or dynamic. Dynamic information
refers to information calculated or derived at the time of display (e.g.
status), and may be automatically updated.
Within each menu there are special functions that can be accessed by
entering their associated key sequences. Their functions are:
Help (
^W) – Provides a simple guide to the current menu
and the selections it contains.
Main Menu (
^G) – Causes the Main Menu to be displayed.
Prev Menu (
^L) – Causes the previous menu to be displayed.
(This is chronological and not necessarily
hierarchical.)
NextPage (
^N or ^F) – If the current menu has more than one page,
then this sequence causes the next page to be
displayed.
PrevPage (
^B) – If the current menu has more than one page,
then this sequence causes the previous page to
be displayed.
Both NextPage and PrevPage are cyclic, e.g. if there are two pages and
page 2 is currently displayed, when NextPage is entered, page 1 is
displayed.
4.2.4 Using Forms
Generally the configuration is entered via forms. Forms are an easy way of
presenting and entering information.
