List fields (selection 1 out of n) 
provide a choice of several text lines in a rectangular window:  
%  Select one out of several list fields using the cursor keys. 
%  To select a line use the rotary knob. If a line beyond the edge of 
the list is to be selected, the whole list will be shifted (scroll 
function).  
For operation of list fields see Table 3-3.  
 
 
 
Pull-down list fields 
are similar to the list fields described above as far as their 
function and operation is concerned; however, they are 
compressed into one line in the popup menu. 
%  Press the associated softkey (if available) or use the cursor keys 
to select the list. Press ENTER or the rotary knob to expand the 
list (expand in upward or downward direction depending on the 
space available). 
%  To select a line use the rotary knob. 
% Press ENTER to confirm your selection and close the list. 
% Press ESCAPE or another key to discard your selection and close 
the list. 
 
 
(Expanding) menu tables 
usually cover the whole popup menu or tab so they are active as 
soon as the menu is opened. The right-hand fields of a menu 
table (white background) can be edited. Table lines without any 
input option but with a black triangle are headers with several 
sub-items that can be expanded or compressed: 
%  To move the control frame to a line use the rotary knob or the 
cursor up/down keys. 
% Press ENTER to select a line and start editing. Numerical values 
can be entered as described in section Input of Numbers on page 
3.10. Alternative settings can be selected using the rotary knob. 
% Press ENTER to confirm an entry and quit the table line. 
% Press ESCAPE or another key to discard your entry and release 
the table line. 
%  Select a header line and press the rotary knob to expand (show) 
or compress (hide) a table section. Press the ON/OFF key to 
expand all compressed tables in the menu.
