Û  Menu conventions

    There are several menu conventions used
in TechPlot.  These conventions are similar
to those used in Microsoft Windows and the
Macintosh.  For example, some menu items
may have a check mark (>), an arrow () or
a key combination next to them.  Other menu
items may be dimmed.

    The following menu conventions are used
in TechPlot.

  þ followed by key combination:  The key
    combination is a shortcut for this
    command.  You can use this key
    combination to choose this commands
    directly without using the menu bar.
    For example, the File | Exit command
    is followed by <ALT-X>.

  þ preceded by a check (>) mark:  The
    command is in effect.  When you remove
    the check mark (by selecting the
    command), the command is no longer in
    effect.  For example, the
    Option|AutoRedraw command in Plot View.

  þ followed by an arrow () mark:  When
    you choose this command, a cascading
    menu (sub-menu) appears, listing
    additional commands.  For example, the
    File | Open command.

  þ Dimmed command:  The command is
    disabled.  You may not use the command
    at the current time.
