Û  Short cuts

    TechPlot provides a number of quick
ways to choose menu commands.  For
example, the click-drag method is a
convenient way for mouse users to open a
menu and make a menu selection.  From the
keyboard, you can use a number of keyboard
shortcuts (or hot keys) to access the menu
bar and choose menu commands.  These hot
keys are provided by the function keys
(<F1> - <F10>, <Del>, <Ins> on a standard
keyboard) and combinations with <Shift>,
<Alt> and <Ctrl> keys.  If a hot key is
available to a menu command, it is listed
next to that command on the menu list.
For example,  the Exit command on the File
menu has a hot key <Alt-X>.

    See "Keyboard.hlp" (Index: 3) for a
list of available shortcuts for TechPlot.


Û  Scroll bars

    There are two types of scroll bars:
horizontal and vertical.  You may use these
bars with a mouse to scroll the contents of
the window.  Click the arrow at either end
to scroll one line at a time. You can click
the shaded area (thumb track) to either
side of the scroll box to scroll one page
at a time.  Finally, you can drag the
scroll box (thumb) to any spot on the bar
to quickly move to a spot in the window
relative to the position of the scroll box.
