H Whenever the menu is removed, the general purpose knob is not assigned
and does not control a function. (An exception is the cursor function. If
cursors are turned on, removing the menu leaves the knob assigned to
control the cursors until reassigned by selecting another menu and function
that uses the knob.)
H The general purpose knob also has a SELECT button. Use the select button
to toggle the knob between the control of either of the two cursors displayed
when H-bar or V-bar cursors are turned on in the cursor menu, to select the
active graticule in zoom preview, to traverse the file system, and to enter
characters when naming files.
