HOW TO USE THIS SYSTEM
======================
KEY ACTION
--- ------
UP ARROW Move to previous item (or up, in a text field).
DOWN ARROW Move to next item (or down, in a text field).
TAB Move to next item or group.
RIGHT ARROW Move to next item or group (same as TAB).
SHIFT-TAB Move to previous item or group.
LEFT ARROW Move to previous item or group (same as SHIFT-TAB).
RETURN Select item.
ESC Spawn a sub-shell for diagnostic purposes. Exit returns.
PAGE UP In text boxes, scrolls up one page.
PAGE DOWN In text boxes, scrolls down one page.
SPACE In "radio" or multiple choice menus, toggle the current item.
F1 Help (in screens that provide it).
If you also see small "^(-)" or "v(+)" symbols at the edges of a menu,
it means that there are more items above or below the current one that
aren't being shown (due to insufficient screen space). Using the
up/down arrow keys will cause the menu to scroll. When a symbols
disappears, it means you are at the top (or bottom) of the menu.
In text fields, the amount of text remaining will be displayed as a
percentage in the lower right corner. 100% means you're at the bottom
of the field.
Selecting OK in a menu will confirm whatever action it's controlling.
Selecting Cancel will cancel the operation and generally return you to
the previous menu.
It is also possible to select a menu item by typing the first
character of its name, if unique. Such "accellerator" characters will
be specially highlighted in the item name.
