Each topic is marked by a bullet (a small square).
• Use the Tf arrow keys to move the highlight up and down the menu of topics.
• Press the Enter key to look at help on a highlighted topic. A page of information, or a
further list of topics will appear.
• Press Esc to remove a help screen. If you've been through several screens of help,
Esc goes back to the previous one. Press Esc until they are all removed. A useful
shortcut is Control-Esc, which always leaves help immediately.
• Control-Help presents a complete index of help topics.
Notes on menus and dialogs
Together, menus and dialogs give you access to all of the features of the Series 3a. You
can select an option for whatever you want to do from a menu, or press its hot-key. The
option you selected will then display a dialog if more information is needed from you.
Displaying a menu
Each application has a different set of menus. If you press the Menu key, and use the
arrow keys to look at the menu contents, the names of the options will usually
suggest the features available.
Whenever you press the Menu key, the highlight moves to the option it was on when
you last used the menus.
Moving between menus
Use <—»to move between the different menus on an application screen.

The Menu key itself cycles through the menus one by one. You can also press the
Menu key and then a number to move to a particular menu - 1 for the leftmost
menu, 2 for the next one, and so on.
