Key Shell gives you softkey displays at the b ottom of y
our screen which provide
a \menu" of basic Korn Shell commands, along with their options in sequence.
You will rst see a status line like the following
Figure 4-1. Key Shell Softkey Display
You can enter commands from the Key Shell softkey menuor you can
enter standard HP-UX commands as usual. If y

commands, Key Shell will often display an appropriate left-to-right set of menu
options in the softkey lab el area at the b ottom of y
our screen. Each lab el
corresp onds to a softkey,

the softkeys into groups of four. You may select any or none of the options
successively by pressing the corresp onding softkey.
When you want to see more commands, or more options to go with a command
