Administering your system with SCOadmin

Navigating the character screen

In character SCOadmin, the screen is divided into ``tab groups'', which make it possible to move between the menu bar, the display area, and the control buttons (OK, Cancel, and Help) at the bottom of the window. Once you have moved to the desired tab group, use the arrow keys to select the desired button, list, or field.

Use the arrow keys to move between items on a menu bar or items in a menu. Use the <Enter> key to open a menu or make a selection.


NOTE: If you have trouble reaching a button or field, try pressing the <Tab> key.
